To my eyes they seem like ram's heads. Could it be?
I'd say definite beaks of normal 6-7thC type, but it's all in the eye of the beholder, I guess! :)
I'm totally not an expert on the issue. The fenno-ugric bird motifs are quite different, though. Love ur tweets on the finds!
Thanks! :)
Startled to realize the motifs remind me of Mesoamerican designs. How could that be?
Interesting! Assume coincidence, but fun nonetheless! :)
