Description
Hello friends.
Normally I am not interested in ornaments for persons, but this one has a kind of History.
As some of you may remember, I have been working for an archeologist on the local museum, which was THE most exiting place I have ever worked in.
I use to compare it with an Indiana Jones film, when I joined the archeologist to the fields to dig up founds, because we were specially lucky finding ALOTS of unic German age of iron and early Viking age, while I was there.
I myself was so exreeemely lucky and (as the arc. said to me, I had a really good eye for it) found so many very lovely artifacts.
Among them was a bronz ornament exactly like this. This is a true copy, made exactly same way and of same material as the original. I bought it from the museum in the summer. I want to buy another one too, that I also found in the same area. I hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments to yesterdays post.
Have a wonderful and unstressed week.
It is such a beautiful weather this morning, but they promised rain later..

That is so incredible. It cleaned up real nice! ;-) I love the design, and I wonder if you can get a shot of the side of this artifact. I think I see hands. Helle, do you have information about the design, what it represents, and the importance of it in the life of the ancients? Fabulous capture! You are a lucky lady. Hugs, Suzanne
