Fragments of decorative wall plaster from Roman Lincoln (Lindum). The fragments came from the Greetwell villa site in Lincoln (sadly destroyed by quarrying during the C19th), and are now part of the collections Lincoln Museum and Usher Gallery #FrescoFriday #RomanBritain 📸 My own.

#FindsFriday Among star finds from #Saxon Prittlewell Prince burial in Essex were #glass beakers w trailed lattice decoration. Beautiful + rare, so similar they were likely made as a pair, in Kent. Few other examples are known, almost all in high status burials. Southend Museums
