Today is the final day of #Hedgehog week, so here is another one of our favourite hedgehogs from our collection. It's from ancient Egypt c. 1500 BC, where hedgehogs are thought to have symbolised rebirth 🦔

The German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer died #OTD in 1528. His Rhinocerus print had a profound influence on the arts & was widely copied. 🦏It is not an accurate representation, though it was regarded as such throughout Europe into the late 18th c. Print, 1515.

Our #objectoftheday is this fragment of a faience bowl, of unknown provenance. The decoration features a uraeus (rearing cobra) in front of what appears to be a cabin on a boat - we'd love to hear if people know of examples of Egyptian objects with a similar motif!

Local canine hero Swansea Jack (1930-1937) saved 27 people from drowning. He is the ONLY dog to have been awarded 2 bronze medals (the canine VC) by the National Canine Defence League. He may have lent his name to the nickname for local people – Swansea Jacks. #Swansea #Wales
