A figurine of a bear carved from amber 10,000 to 8,000 years ago. Found on the west coast of Fanø, from a submerged settlement of the Mesolithic period.
Bears played an important role in the life of hunters,figurines such as this were worn as pendants.

On display at National Museum Copenhagen

@ninawillburger This is awesome, and immediately makes me think of the tales @juergen_hubert has been translating.

@ninawillburger As a German, I can confirm that this was my childhood, my youth and my adult life.

The unique Trichtingen torc consists of an iron core with a silver mantel. It’s too large and too heavy for human use (6.7kg), it was rather worn by a wooden cult image.
Dating 2nd/1st c. BC.

A friend who is working on the Esna restoration project just sent me these stunning photos of the restored ceiling and columns of the Temple of Khnum in Esna, Upper #Egypt. The colours of the reliefs and inscriptions in the building have been covered by a coating of dirt and soot for some 2000 years.
Since 2018, the original bright colours have been uncovered.

Stunning 3,000 year old glass beads, found in pile dwelling settlements at Lake Constance. The beads were probably made in the Alpine foreland from raw glass imported from Italy.
