Identifying worn coins can be tricky, especially the denomination. If you find one with two pellets behind the shape of a bust, it is likely a halfgroat, like this one of Queen Elizabeth. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/pas/recorded...

For #FindsFriday an exciting new discovery in Flanders - the first single find of an early dirham from Belgium. Identified by experts as North African, possibly a contemporary imitation, 173-175 H./789-790 AD. Most likely brought here from Frisia/ Denmark.

This is a medieval harness mount decorated with an enamel design comprising a crowned Lombardic letter T. Objects with this design have been associated with pilgrimage to the shrine of St Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/pas/recorded...

Two of the Lewis Chessmen currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Discovered in 1831 on a beach at Uig on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the chessmen date to the late 12th or early 13th century. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #LewisChessmen

The 982g phiale is embossed with acorns, beechnuts, bees and lotus flowers. Its inscription may name Damarchos, son of Achyris – or the magistrate Achyris – and records gold and probably the bowl's weight. Now at Himera's museum. #AncientBlueSky #archaeology #FindsFriday

🪙 The gold phiale of Caltavuturo (late 4th/early 3rd c. BCE) was found in 1980 during work on an electricity pylon. Illegally exported in 1991 via Switzerland, it was sold to Michael Steinhardt for $1.2m, seized and returned to Italy in 1999. #AncientBlueSky #archaeology #FindsFriday

#FindsFriday undated stone head from Ynys Môn/Anglesey, which nonetheless has unusual ear holes & what appears to be a torc carved beneath its chin - both features one would not expect in a modern carving

Looks OK as an Iron Age/RB head 🧐🤔

On display at the excellent Oriel Môn 👌

Two wine strainers and a trulleus from the 1st Century CE Kingston Deverill hoard in Salisbury Museum. The spouts on the wine strainers looked very familiar to me as I painted something similar from the Chettle hoard back in 2008. Local maker, possibly?

Some of the best archaeological finds are the smallest, simplest and most personal

Late Iron Age decorated bone weaving / personal grooming combs like this are among our favourites 😀

Found in Wookey Hole Caves #Somerset and now in Wells and Mendip Museum

This #Roman potsherd discovered in Tuscany has a very unique design #FindsFriday

Whilst most terra sigillata pottery was decorated with small, standardised stamps, this example is large and ornate, hinting at an unseen side of Roman craft production.
