Wonderful stuff, Igor....great to see, and keep it coming! More, more, more...........
And a Laudes to Marika for opening up such a Treasure trove of valuable information..... ( since I've already given one to Igor...)
Lucky person, to work with the Ashmolean collection!
The colour photos of the greave and scale armour from Grave 6 of the Nymphaeum tombs were nice...are there more? e.g. of the modified Illyrian helmet ( probably from grave 1 ) with added peak or neckguard (hard to say which)...or the bronze arrowheads? ...or the gold hare appliques? ( how cute are they !?)
