I remember spending time at the museum looking at it. It's so beautiful!
Absolutely! I'm also always shocked by how even the 'big' pieces are so tiny...!
@caitlinrgreen @vickimead I think Augustinian Christianity very different from Irish & Welsh- inspired by desert asceticism, centuries older
@pengraiggoch @caitlinrgreen I studied the Culdees, pre christian/christian/druid crossover, Celtic worshiped glory of nature not jewels.
@vickimead @caitlinrgreen Worshipping the glory of nature is something I feel. Our church at Llanddeusant was founded in 4th C.
@pengraiggoch @caitlinrgreen 4thC is impressive!
@caitlinrgreen @annispice Not as ornate but this is my Canterbury pendant. Had it since 1968, carry it all the time.pic.twitter.com/4lbgJo0HQE
@caitlinrgreen Beautiful. Lovely colours
@caitlinrgreen Going back on display @The_Beaney in Canterbury at the end of March :)
