Looking forward to representing @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social & co-leading a workshop at #SGSAHSummer25 today with @orkat3.bsky.social on anthropocentrism, the Animal Turn $ zooarch. There will of course be a smattering of #VikingBirds from me. Sadly, I'll only be online, but Kath will be in Glasgow.

The pendant represents a bird flying left to right and wings are rendered as four curved lines on each side of thin tail and body
