This bronze lebes (for mixing water and wine) used as a cinerary urn is a favorite of mine. I love the parade of mounted Amazons around the lid, each holding a bow. Very Scythian, actually. The larger couple may be dancing or he could be abducting her; she wears an Etruscan outfit. 🏺 1/

This beautiful small Neolithic edge-ground flint axe - only 10cm long - was found in Sparrowpit, High Peak in 2001, together with flakes, blades and scrapers from both later Mesolithic and Neolithic periods.

![My photo collage shows three Roman black-slipped pottery vessels with white painted Latin inscriptions and white vine-like flowing decoration set against a rich pinky-purple display case background.
These so-called ‘motto beakers’, decorated with wine-themed Latin inscriptions painted in white slip, were produced in the Trier region during the mid 3rd century. They proved very popular and were exported to Britain and the Danube
Top image: cylindrical cup with straight sides with narrower base. The dark, almost black surface is decorated with large white letters V M N. The inscription around the cup reads VINIVM NOBIIS DA/ Give us wine! There is a band of rope-like white ornamentation near the rim. Beneath the lettering is a vinemotif with cluster of threeroundish ‘grape’ shapes. There are visible cracks where the cup has been restored. From Trier or surroundings, 280-315 AD.
Bottom left: elegant dark jug with a narrow base, rounded body, and long neck that flares outward to a broad lip. A single curved handle connects the neck to the upper body. The decoration includes the large white letters R E P and swirling white scroll ornamentation. The full inscription encircling the jug reads REPLE ME - Fill me up! From Trier, St. Matthias, 280-315 AD.
Bottom right: A cylindrical beaker with a narrower base. White lettering near the top reads E N E T I B. The full inscription around the beaker reads B[ENIE T[BI S]|[T] - Well be to you! Beneath the text is a continuous vine-scroll design with stylised leaves or grapes. From Trier, Louis-Lintz-Straße, 260-270 AD.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreidvgcm4meck4zsw7uiucznujg7fw5cdeu2lguukrglcw6t2gxmujq@jpeg)

A doorway to, or from, the Iron Age…?
Looking out from the doorway of Carn Liath broch to the world beyond, I guess the view, stone, sea and sky, hasn’t changed too much in 2000 years.
Enchanting, and chilling, sometimes to glance through ancient eyes.

Happy #TombTuesday everyone! 🥳
The delightful Neolithic tomb at Cors y Gedol, Merionydd, which survives right at the edge of a busy Iron Age & Romano-British farming settlement in north Wales
Pretty accessible too - a short walk from a small car park via a country lane 👌

Two 10th century hogback tombs - Part of the wonderful collection of early medieval sculpture at Govan Old Parish Church in Glasgow. Hogbacks are generally considered as grave markers or stylised 'houses' for the dead. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #TheGovanStones #GovanHeritageTrust

Today's the feast of St Hilda, 7th Century abbess and host of the Synod of Whitby, which united the Celtic and Roman Churches. Glass by AK Nicholson, 1932 at Holy Trinity, Halstead, Essex shows her with her crozier, an ammonite and a seabird at her feet.

Want to walk into and through an actual Iron Age house…and UP THE STAIRS?
Of course you bloody do.
Come with me.
Carn Liath broch, just sitting quietly beside the A9 as thousands whizz by without stopping. Their mistake.
Far too excited to wait for #HillfortsWednesday

On this day in 1558, our Royal Patron, Queen Elizabeth I succeeded to the throne.
In this letter from 1597 she complained to the splendid looking man below - the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach (now Germany) about an order excluding Merchant Adventurers from the Empire.
She was most miffed!
