1000 years from now the hoard will be wrapped in plastic.

Incredible how these older cultures were so masterful at craftsmanship.
They also thought that they were the most important people in history.
Then they were gone.
Makes you think.

Where would a Scottish Viking come across a flamingo? Imported, me thinks. Great looking design, though. Maybe they could focus more on the pin than the narcissist holding it.

Nice, except the guy thinks he’s something. Wonder what 1000 years from now will be found? IPhone cases...with their pictures? Haha...pet peeve of mine...the “cloud”ing of life.

Makes me recall my next door neighbor. In the country that is half a mile away.
His name was Galloway and as good a neighbor as one could want. He is gone now but his kids use his house as a vacation house now.

Thanks for the links to those sites.
Wow! Incredible artifacts and craftsmanship. Interesting how they may have used the silver ingots as currency.
Have to laugh that they still haven’t officially pegged the “bird pin” ID, but it just screams “Flamingo!”

If that pin is supposed to be an Ibis it would be Egyptian in origin.

Vikings traveled into the Mediterranean, Black Sea & up the Danube. There they encountered arabs and traded with them.
A lot of viking hoards contain arab silver coins and other trade goods.
