An ivory pyxis from Tomba della Pania at Chiusi. It dates to the seventh century BC, so it is a typical Orientalising finer find. It is in the National Archaeological Museum in Florence. The tomb is one of the 15 painted tombs at Chiusi. #FindsFriday

#FindsFriday: Bronze anthropomorphic sculpture (probably an attache of a vessel) from Mšec, Museum Nové Strašecí

#FindsFriday: `The earliest Irish writings are brief inscriptions on stone pillars in the ogham alphabet, a system of scores and notches. Some date from as early as the fourth century. They record only names and ancestry and say nothing about events.
This stone, now incomplete, is inscribed with the male name Netacú in the ogham alphabet. #Ogham inscriptions preserve the earliest written texts in the Irish language.` #Celtic

#FindsFriday: `Rituals associated with life and death were integral parts of the Irish #IronAge.
An obsession with feasting and appeasing the gods with water offerings continued after the ritual destruction of Navan Fort, Co Armagh. At nearby Loughnashade human bones and four great bronze horns were found during drainage works. Only this example survives; it is 1.86m in length and made of rivetted sheet bronze with a decorated disc at one end.` #Celtic
