Got a good shot of the geometric artwork in Seefin last week. So faint that McAlister missed this when excavating the tomb

Tattoo from the preserved body of a Siberian ice mummy, from the Iron Age Pazyryk culture of the Altai Mountains. Depicting two tigers and a leopard attacking two deer, it shows the sophisticated methods of Pazyryk tattooers #InternationalSnowLeopardDay

And one for anyone interested in Irish history: 'Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound' by @pdufaigh.bsky.social – an immersive plunge into the time of the Norman arrival in Ireland, full of moral dubiousness. And as Paul is one of our leading archaeologists of medieval Dublin, it is VERY accurate
