Something beautiful for the weekend! ✨

A rare rock crystal tool made by Neanderthals between 200,000 - 40,000 years ago.

From a Mousterian level at the Merveilles rockshelter, Sergeac, Dordogne, France. 6 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm.

#Archaeology
My photo shows a slightly ovoid-shaped tool knapped from yellow-tinged rock crystal. It is mounted for display against a grey background. Described as a scraper (racloir) by the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale, it measures 6 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm. It was recovered from a Mousterian (Neanderthal) level in the Abri Des Merveilles rockshelter in France. The rock shelter was excavated by the American School of Prehistoric Research for a number of seasons from 1924 onwards, led by George Grant MacCurdy who documented that this rock crystal tool (and six others) were excavated from the lower level of the shelter together with a lithic assemblage (flint handaxes, scrapers and points) identified as Mousterian i.e. associated with Neanderthals. He suggested the original source of the rock crystal was some 90 miles north of the Merveilles rockshelter “near to and beyond the headwaters of the Vézère in the direction of Limousin and Puy-de-Dome” He suggested the rock crystal was either brought to the cave, or was carried away from its source by the river Vézère and then picked up from the riverbed by neanderthals. The info label at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale reads: ‘Neanderthals were the first to show their interest in non-utilitarian objects: collection and transport of fossils and minerals, use of dyes such as ochre or haematite, choice of aesthetic raw materials for cut tools, such as rock crystal from Sergeac or opal jasper from Fontmaure’

Marius, who was once the highest ranking executor of the Divine Emperor Akkan's will, finds evidence that Akkan is not what he claims. Akkan is a powerful man, but he is no god. When Akkan announces that Marius will ascend to live eternally in the Divine Realm, Marius fakes his own death and escapes with his apprentice, Lina Together, they travel to the northern wastes beyond the empire, searching for the Fount, a human wellspring of Divine energy and someone who Akkan is desperately trying to find. If Marius and Lina can find the Fount first, they can stop Akkan from accruing near-unlimited power. The Fount is a teenage boy named Hanetu who has a hero complex and no love for Akkan's empire. He sees Lina conjuring fire with her sword mid-battle, and he's in love, convinced of their destiny to defeat an undefeatable god. They join forces and plan their next move while hiding out in Lina's homeland, but when Akkan's loyalists catch up with them and capture Hanetu and Marius, Lina is left to pick up the pieces. But hope is not lost. Lina is stronger than she thinks and Hanetu is exceptionally resourceful. Can they make it to the imperial capital to defeat Akkan, all while being pursued by Akkan's enforcers and cultists? And even if they make it, what chance do they have to stop him?

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!

An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.

✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

#Archaeology
My photo shows a small figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Danish Mesolithic period. The bear is seen in profile facing right. The legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle, and mouth are defined. The figurine is displayed on a small metal stand. The display lighting shines on the bear’s head and neck enhancing the translucence of the orange amber. The neck of the bear has a polished groove indicating it was once suspended on a cord or string. Length 6.5cm. The Fanø bear was found in 1991 on a beach on the west coast of the Danish island of Fanø, located off the south-western coast of Jutland. In the Stone Age the Danish coastline was different from today. “Since then the coastline has been influenced by later changes to the sea level as well as the rising up of the land after the last Ice Age. This rising of the land is still going on today. North of a line on the map the land has risen up and south of the line the coast has become submerged because of the subsequent rise in sea level. Therefore a proportion of Stone Age settlements south of the “tilt line” now lie under water or at the edge of the beach. Thus objects can be washed out in the sea and later be found on the beach”. The Fanø bear is one of a small number of amber bear figurines from the Baltic Sea region which have been assigned to the Mesolithic period by means of a typo-chronological approach Amber has many amazing properties: it’s warm to the touch, it’s a glossy translucent colour when polished, it gives off a fragrant scent when burnt, and when rubbed against fur or hair it can produce static electricity which ‘magically’ emits green sparks in the dark and can make hair stand on end.

Stunning pair of c. 1,500 year-old luxury women’s leather shoes!
Exceptionally well-preserved and still shimmering with gold leaf! ✨

From Egypt. V&A Museum 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows an exceptionally well-preserved pair of women's flat leather slip on shoes decorated with gold leaf. The leather appears dark brown in colour, but originally it may have been purple or red. They have a high front coming up to a double lobed extension. The heel finishes with a high back tab. The tab on the right shoe has not survived. The front of each shoe is embellished with a gold disc-shaped motif enclosing eight smaller circles which looks similar to the circular rotary dial of an old-fashioned telephone! Within each of the small circles is an embroidered star. Length 26cm. Max width 8cm. From Egypt, circa 300-500 AD, Coptic period. On display at the V&A Museum, London.
