@davidgmwilson Hah! I'm pondering the origins & meaning of a small number of intriguing finds from Britain, hence recent posts! So, a bit ;)
sorry have not cliqued through - is the Hatra one still in Iraq (ie potentially looted recently) or long removed?
Unsure; image=1970s, iirc; pendant excavated 1971-2 by Sd. Wathiq Al-Salihi (Directorate-General of Antiquities), so possible?
thank you so much!
Nice photos! Garnet Cloisonne definitely seems to have been a late Sarmatian, most likely Alan, introduction that spread under the Huns.
