@caitlinrgreen Extraordinary! Some corking stuff from Essex being reported by PAS. Did you see the gold lump w/ runes found a year or 2 ago?

@caitlinrgreen @SurreyMedieval this is all pure gold?? Seems quite much
@Umarkarim89 @SurreyMedieval Yes, solid gold---although need to emphasise that it's not huge!
@caitlinrgreen @SurreyMedieval hehe yes you're r8. Well I don't wear jewellery bt still got greedy aftr seeing the gold & took it as huge:)
@caitlinrgreen This has a Coptic look to me. Will ask @DioscorusBoles for an opinion!
@DioscorusBoles @caitlinrgreen I am sure Doctor Caitlin will have noted your comment Copt. & jotted a line or two in her margin!
@Tweets2CV @DioscorusBoles Lol! Tbh, it's an interesting piece, though the two birds have v clear early medieval 'Germanic' links &c :)
@caitlinrgreen @DioscorusBoles !0 out of 10 for effort then Dioscorus!
@Tweets2CV @DioscorusBoles Ah, well, still might be similarities, I don't know--don't forget, some of earliest garnet cloisonné (cf Sutton >
@Tweets2CV @DioscorusBoles > Hoo jewellery of 6th/7thC) comes from Georgia/Iraq in the 3rdC, as I posted a while back!
@caitlinrgreen @DioscorusBoles Blimey Mr Boles I do believe you said "Georgian!" See what Dr Caitlin has revealed!!!
