https://qoto.org/@mattyhari/1097...Cut-steel jewellery was popular in the 19th century and consisted of rivetting fine steel studs in decorative designs on a thin metal base plate. This chatelaine is a particularly stunning example of the technique. Made by cutler Joseph Banks Durham ca. 1850. On display at the V&A Museum. Photo: me #metalwork #jewellery #design #metalmonday

https://qoto.org/@mattyhari/1094...One of my favourite finds - not even kidding. From topsoil of early Christian church c5th century in Palestina, this little thing generated much excitement: "Button with religious cross!" "Unheard of for this period!" "Inscribed with religious message!!" (etc). Imagine my surprise when I cleaned it a little to find the English words "open" and "close" and arrows. It is a cam-lock screw. Like the ones that come with the Ikea flatpacks. #findsfriday #archaeology

https://qoto.org/@mattyhari/1093...20 years ago one of the young shepherds near Abu Qalqal in northern Syria showed Holly Jones and me a hole in the ground - it led to a (robbed) vaulted Roman tomb. We made a quick record. Lucky I had those ridiculously oversized dishwashing gloves with me. #tombtuesday #AncientNearEast
