1976: Archaeological Discoveries - Celtic Neck Torc 200-50B

A striking silver-iron torc although as this one weighs 6.7 kilo one would have to have a strong neck but as the article 'How do you put on a torc' explains, not designed to be worn

1982: Leipzig Autumn Fair

and it would never fit into this amber jewellery box.

Growing

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is shopping for Vegetables and Fruit

Inge Löök turns her eye for detail to the growing season. I can spot leeks and squashes and something recently dug up lying on the bench.  I wonder what is going to join the marigolds to be transported by bicycle?

Bird and Pomegranate wallpaper - Kathleen Kersey (b1889)

The pomegranate has appeared in myth and art for centuries and Kathleen Kersey (a member of the Morris and Co Design Studio) turned it into a design for wallpaper in 1911.  This was the last wallpaper produced by Morris and Co.  I don't know anything more about Kathleen Kersey apart from the fact she became Mrs Allngton and was still working as a designer in 1955.
