I love all things writing and writing-related. So this blog about deciphering a runic inscription on items from the #GallowayHoard caught my attention.

I felt a bit emotional being able to see items from the #GallowayHoard up close. So incredibly detailed, I feel very privileged. I would have completely dropped my bundle if I’d been allowed to hold any of the items! #MuseumsVictoria

Thr Alfred Jewel
Always startling to see the #AlfredJewel in real life. Especially interesting now that I've seen the #GallowayHoard which potentially destabilises the identification as an æstel.

🔍 @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social translate Old English inscription on this Hiberno-Scandinavian silver broadband armring as:
DIS IS ЇIGNA ˑFˑ
This is the community’s wealth
Was this Northumbrians stealing from, or trading/allying with Vikings?

As with all these things, it was a mix of factors, but I think the main two were...

The silver vessel at the heart of the #GallowayHoard is on loan from National Museums Scotland to The British Museum's #SilkRoads.
Its Zoroastrian iconography, inc. fire altars, suggested a Sasanian origin (Goldberg et al.), now confirmed by elemental analysis (Kershaw et al.)!

It seems wherever in the world beautiful artefacts are found, they often carry the hallmark of Persian craftsmen like this container described as travelling from Iran to Scotland....www.facebook.com/NationalMuseumsScotland/...

Leslie Webster says it straight about that gorgeous little rock crystal jar from the #GallowayHoard: "I’ve seen a lot of Anglo-Saxon finds over the years in my professional career, some of them amazing. But this absolutely knocks them all into a cocked hat.”
