I like to work fast, and so the report from the past weekend's fieldwork only needs some additional find photos and proofreading by the students before I can submit it. Another fast-working man is the animal #art master Luciano Pezzoli. Today he delivered this reconstruction drawing of an early-10th century sword chape from the Äversta war booty site. The drawing is partly based on better-preserved finds of this standardised type. 1/2
A friend who is involved in the Esna restoration project has shared with me his latest impressive photos of the restored walls and columns of the Temple of Khnum in Esna, Upper #Egypt. The colours of the reliefs and inscriptions in the building have been covered by a coating of dirt and soot for some 2000 years.
Since 2018, the original bright colours have been uncovered.
