A 1st- to 2nd-century AD Romano-British Aesica variant brooch found near to Sennen, Cornwall.pic.twitter.com/3GTEc0yevL
India in Cornwall :-)
Lol! True! Interestingly, only a few Roman sites produce peacock bones so far as I can tell (two villas in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, and Portchester fort in Hampshire).
Oh, I had no idea peacocks themselves were present in Britain; thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! There's also some Anglo-Saxon era ones...!
Strange thought... Anglo-Saxon peacocks! I wonder if they depict them in their beautiful metalwork?
Indeed! Might be an interesting blog, perhaps? Can't think of an Anglo-Saxon metal example, but is this Merovingian Frankish one...!https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/935513365207748609 …
What a stunning brooch! I'd love to read a blogpost on it if you do write one. @SueBrunningBM may know of other examples!
Here’s one likely example from @britishmuseum! know there are various discussions out there, remind me to look them up when I’m back in my library...
