@caitlinrgreen @EquineAnn The young woman looks quite Indian, like a Yakshi. Lovely stuff, thank you.
@QueensClassics @EquineAnn Fascinating, isn't it! And also such a realistic look on her face :) Thanks for prompting me to find these!
@caitlinrgreen @QueensClassics Definitely.

@caitlinrgreen All these are associated with the Vikings??
@Umarkarim89 No, only the last :)
@caitlinrgreen alright :) was there a character during epic of Viking incursion King Ecbert of Wessex? he was portrayed as master politician
@Umarkarim89 Yes, but earlier than the main Viking threat, which was largely dealt with by his son+grandsons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbert_of_Wessex … :)
@caitlinrgreen ahaan right right he has portrayed as gruesome and cunning. Did Vikings ever attack Paris or across the French territories?

@caitlinrgreen @QueensClassics Definitely. I bet that looked nice when it was all intact. Still you can't expect anything else how old it is
