Gold jar from Galloway Hoard on display in Kirkcudbright
It resembles a perfume bottle and a Latin inscription on it suggests it had a religious function.
The phenomenal and enigmatic rock crystal and gold 'jar' of Bishop Hyguald from the heart of the Galloway Hoard is NOW on display for the first time ever. It was held back for Kirkcudbright while the rest of the Hoard continues its world tour in Melbourne (1/2)

A head and shoulders shot of Heather. She's smiling, and is up a hill, with rocks right behind her and a scenic view behind - open space, hills, and a loch or sea coast winding between them
The cover of Gesta - it is grey, with a photograph on the front of an ornate metal vessel.
Congrats to Professor Heather Pulliam, who has been appointed co-editor in chief of Gesta, the leading international journal for medieval art.๐
Gesta is published by the University of Chicago Press:
