A pair of heavy wooden double doors fills the frame, their surface painted in a faded turquoise that has chipped and weathered over time. The wood beneath shows through in streaks and patches, revealing layers of age and use. Each door panel is reinforced with horizontal and vertical bands of dark, aged metal, intricately engraved with repeating floral and geometric motifs. The metalwork is richly textured, with subtle hints of bronze and iron tones worn smooth along raised edges.

Centered on each door is an elaborate escutcheon plate adorned with scrollwork and symmetrical ornamentation. Large circular ring handles hang from the plates, their metal dulled and patinated, suggesting countless hands once grasped them. Beneath the rings sit keyholes, small and square, framed by decorative borders. Between the two doors, a vertical central beam is carved with detailed patterns that echo the surrounding frame, creating a sense of unity and deliberate craftsmanship.

The doorframe itself is equally ornate, etched with layered relief carvings that climb upward and outward, forming an arch-like surround. Fine cracks in the paint and subtle scratches across the metal hint at history rather than decay. The lighting is soft and even, revealing the depth of carving and the tactile quality of both wood and metal. The composition feels grounded and symmetrical, evoking permanence, secrecy, and the quiet weight of passage.

This first-century BCE Greek buckle shows a griffin, first worked in repoussé and then engraved, with a slot and knob to fasten the belt.
It was worn by someone living or visiting an ancient Greek colony called Pontic Olbia, which was founded in the 7th century BCE on the banks of the Bug River estuary in present-day
Ukraine.
In ancient Greece, a griffin was a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, symbolizing strength, majesty, and guardianship. They were depicted as fierce protectors of treasure, particularly gold, and were said to be in constant conflict with the Arimaspians, a one-eyed race who sought to steal the treasure. Griffins were also associated with the gods, with some myths claiming they pulled the chariot of Apollo or acted as the "Hounds of Zeus".

Theory and experiment: an interdisciplinary collaboration with the aim of a better understanding human craft activities We can define at least three levels of experiments in archaeology. First, those who aim to reconstruct the prehistoric working processes based on original conditions. Second, the ones that seek to ...

Two white earthenware bowls with a rough surface on the inside

Two white earthenware bowls with a rough surface on the inside

The Roman mortarium was used for grinding food. That's why the inside has a rough surface. Below: my replica. Original: Rijksmuseum van Oudheden / dating 1-300 AD /

Two brown glazed jugs besides each other. They look very similar but the right one has a pewter lid. The jugs have a chunky body that actually looks like a body of a man wearing 16th century attire with a little cape and a smock shirt appearing from under his slashed upper garment. He's got arms closely pressed against his body and he's holding a glass and a jug. He's got a small face with a full beard, mustache and curls.

Which Bartmann jug is 500 years old, left or right? This dude is a true masterpiece of 16th century stoneware and I've just finished my first replica.

Empire in a Shell: How Iron Age Craftspeople on the Carmel Coast Turned Snails into Royal Power A sunbaked coastal promontory in northern Israel hides the story of an ancient industry that tinted the Mediterranean world purple—and changed how archaeologists think about early state economies.

3,000 years ago on Israel’s coast, Iron Age artisans turned sea snails into royal purple dye. New digs at Tel Shiqmona reveal the earliest known long-term dye factory. #Archaeology #IronAge #AncientCraft #Anthropology @plosone.org

Picked up a new nalbind project. Mittens in a lovely soft and fuzzy yellow wool. Again a Oslo stich with my favorite bone nal.

Recently I have shifted my focus to ancient textile and basketry techniques, taking ways that humans (and some non-humans) have twisted and looped and interlaced natural materials for thousands of years, and applying them to this very modern, ubiquitous and controversial material.

Long before wine and beer dominated the scene, mead was the drink of choice in the ancient world. From Egypt to Scandinavia, it symbolized power, wealth, and divine favor. Cheers to this timeless elixir! 🏺 #mead #ancientcraft #history
