@caitlinrgreen hope your conference went well
;-0)
@HyettNeal The sessions at Cambridge's ICE? Yes, very well, thank you! :)
@dyspraxiarulesk @TouchofMojoHand Thought to have started out that way, but its usage spread :)
@caitlinrgreen Remarkably preserved, still with sharp teeth!
@GeorgeRick1 It's a fearsome thing! Just imagine it with tail billowing in the wind! :)
@caitlinrgreen @ahencyclopedia Do you think it's part of a carnyx?
@therustyunicorn @ahencyclopedia No, a dragon-standard----a fabric body would have been attached :)
@caitlinrgreen @ahencyclopedia How wonderful! It is rather beautiful
@caitlinrgreen Visited Grosvenor Museum last Summer...apologies if this is already posted on the thread somewhere!pic.twitter.com/xFBlgIygZU
@caitlinrgreen http://www.fectio.org.uk/articles/makedraco2.htm … Remember seeing this episode on Time Team.
@caitlinrgreen Thank you for sending me to this picture I have always been fascinated by these types of standards !
@caitlinrgreen @BfsOtto this artwork reminds me of some I saw in NZ..Maori..odd
@caitlinrgreen @BfsOtto always did fancy Asian dragons...not so much medieval or earlier.pic.twitter.com/huua7eIbxO
