    Perhaps you know nothing about early porcelain? (you should read "The white road" by Edmund De Waal), or celadon ceramics that travelled across much of the known world from China to Europe?Anyway, the images in this paper about underwater #archaeology are striking for the variety of products that were found at this shipwreck site in SingaporeThe Temasek Wreck ceramics cargo: Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, celadon and other ceramics found in Singapore waters https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S3050997125000132?via%3Dihub

    I wish a joyous Christmas to all who celebrate. May you have a truly wonderful time 🎄🎅.This #Roman glass spherical bottle would make great #Christmas bauble, but it was used to hold perfume and loose powder. The contents were sealed inside the delicate cosmetic container, and a small knob at the top had to be broken off to remove the oil/powder. Dating 1st/2nd century AD.On display at Altes Museum Berlin 📷 me#archaeology

    @gemsofindology wait, wait, buttons as in “we are reasonably sure that they were used to fasten garments”?or “they look like buttons, and they could have been used to fasten garments, or they may have been beads, or whatever else”?
