Reposting this because it’s one of the most fascinating finds of Neolithic figural art I know. Group of limestone figurines, probably a hoard, from the Xaghra stone circle, Gozo, Malta. #Archaeology
The past was far more colorful than many would expect. Early Neolithic pottery from Slovakia. Museum Bratislava.
A boar tusk cased in bronze and richly decorated. #BronzeAge People definitely knew how to dress dramatically. From southwestern Germany.
Pottery of a possible Balkanic origin from #Troy. Known for more than 100 years and still many question marks.
An amazing group of late #Neolithic limestone figurines, probably a hoard, from the Xaghra stone circle, Gozo, Malta. #Archaeology
