An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell circa 500,000-300,000 years ago.

The maker appears to have deliberately flaked around the shell to preserve and place it in a central position. As a result this handaxe has been described as an early example of artistic thought.

From West Tofts, Norfolk.

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”

“Glass float from an old submarine net, used by a peasant of Iona Island, Scotland, for crystal-gazing. It should be laid on a bed of heather & gazed into to see visions.“

Donated to Pitt Rivers Museum in 1922.

Few more shots of the Cave Ponies going up in my Etsy shop tomorrow (3/16)!

I bought these sweet little wooden horses years ago at a craft store and finally got around to painting them recently. Their coat colors and markings are inspired by horses depicted in Paleolithic cave paintings <3
