The Mail Online has an article with fine illustrations about the gold-mounted rock crystal vessel from the Galloway Hoard which I wrote about in my post earlier today concerning The latest revelation from the Galloway Hoard
The Mail account can be seen at Experts find Roman rock crystal jar in Viking-era treasure hoard
Once again this brings out the importance of the discovery in terms of the insight it offers into the artistic and cultural achievements of ninth century lowland Britain and also the undoubted quality of the object itself.
