Wow, a small Roman glass bottle with preserved ointment from almost 2,000 years ago! 🤩

The ointment is composed of fatty acids, glycerine, and plant fibres (wood, pollen, and seeds). Perhaps a valuable cosmetic or medicinal cream.

My photo shows a small, Roman bottle made of translucent pale green glass. It has a square body with rounded shoulders, a short, narrow, cylindrical neck with an out-turned, flat rim sealed with a (cork?) stopper. There is a single curved handle attached between the shoulder of the bottle and top of the neck. The bottle contains a solid, yellowish-orange substance. Bottle height 9.6 cm. The bottle is displayed on a grey surface. Dated late-1st century to first-half 2nd century AD.

A book cover design with the title “The Desire to Be an Archaeologist (and Other Diseases of the Brain)” by Antique Christie. The cover has a vintage style with a red and beige color scheme, the publisher name “Great Auk Books” at the top, and a small illustration of an auk bird near the bottom.

This week on #findsfriday we have a post medieval silver finger-ring found in Heytesbury in 2015.

A simple four-petalled gilded flower covers the joint in the band, now partially damaged. The hoop has raised edges and between them is a gilded strip with a series of pellets running down through it.

Silver finger ring taken from all angles. Central clover shape stone

A real tangible link to the past. You can just imagine the last person holding it before they dropped it between the cobbles
