Another bead to feature in the Slaves of Fashion by the @singhtwins @walkergallery is faience bead in the shape of a lotus flower. Along with the cowrie bead they form part of Hatshepsut’s broad bead collar https://t.co/Af3G32fPsH
In 1840s goldsmith & major Victorian antiquary Joseph Mayer joined the campaign to establish a public museum in Liverpool. One reason was to keep unoccupied artisans out of pubs. He opened his own Egyptian Museum at 8 Colquitt St in 1852 ..but it's now a PUB!
