any theory why they (cats or stoats) are holding their paws on their head? Interesting blogpost:)
I fear I incline to cats! And that's a good question, not sure, but it does make them even more fun...! ;)
Garnets seem such a commonly used gem in such uncommonly rich items.
But expensive and exotic back then, sourced from India in 3rd-7thC and indicative of high status/Romanitas etc
I've always loved them & delighted that they were loved so much then too.
Gorgeous
