1st Century AD wine cup, a British made copy of a Roman form, from the Crownthorpe hoard, Norfolk. Now in fabulous @NorwichCastle, its burial has been tentatively associated with the Boudican revolt AD60. The ducks 😍. #FindsFriday #BoudicaFriday #Echolands
@theDuncanMackay @theAliceRoberts @NorwichCastle Assuming that it doesn't just have 'Made In England' stamped on the bottom of it, can you easily spot the differences between a locally made cup and a Roman cup?
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle Those ducks are definitely 😍😍!
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle I'll raise you a Celtic lion! Hochdorf grave 530 bc
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle "tentatively?"
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle It kind of reminds me of Nestor's Cup from the Iliad with two golden doves feeding. From Mycenae, 16th century BC.
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle You need a #PlayMobilInfestation of that !
@theDuncanMackay @NorwichCastle Is this a version of libation cup, without the bottom motif?
@theDuncanMackay @theAliceRoberts @NorwichCastle Wow, this is fabulous. I want one of my own!
