I was transfixed in the Petrie museum yesterday by these seated lion playing pieces. True works of art in Ivory!

I am very happy to say that my PhD thesis has been accepted for defence! It feels very good to hold the bound copy in my hand and feel the weight of my (sometimes) toil. The public defence will be in late April and available on zoom 😬

Wonderful and very realistic (pink!!) ivory bag rings from my wonderful friends @izzywisher.bsky.social and @dparrott.bsky.social as a hand-in gift. Even in their own finds bag! 😍😍😍

After three years of fun, I was very happy to submit my thesis yesterday. Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way, and for everyone who celebrated with me yesterday!

It was a pleasure to have my PhD pre-defence yesterday and discuss my project so far with professors Frans Theuws and Chris Loveluck. The perfect way to head into the holidays and the last year of my project.
