[escapismsworld]

Iron firedog with terminals shaped like bulls or horses, from Capel Garmon, in Conwy, Wales; 1st century B.C. or AD.

These andirons were discovered intact in a peat bog in 1852. The item is believed to have been placed there as a votive offering to the entities of the netherworld. Andirons of this sort, known as “firedogs”, were set around a house’s central hearth to keep logs conveniently placed so as to allow greater air circulation, better burning, and less smoke.

National Fire Pup Day on October 1 honors canine members of America’s fire departments. Dogs have historically worked, lived, and slept alongside members of local fire departments. Please help me celebrate these heroes today. #firedogs #firefighter #firefighterofinstagram #firefighterlife (at Franklin, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzgAGMBSl6/?igshid=1w7qs70dtz5h4
