We excel in a number of things @AshmoleanMuseum, such as research, learning, art & archaeology. Definitely, though, one of them is also #howtoparty. More #fun tomorrow at our One World Family Festival. #Children #weekendfun

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 21 - Five Gold Rings ⭐️
In 1905 two exceptional hoards of gold and silver were discovered in the ruins of a small temple at Tukh el-Qaramus. The treasure seems to have been buried in response to an unknown catastrophe in the mid-3rd c. BC.
