Excavations at Caerlaverock Castle uncovered pieces of medieval Islamic glass. But how did it reach Scotland? 🤔
Together with @AminaMWRC, 8th Braid Salaam Scout & artist Alice Martin we uncovered more about the story of the glass. 🔍

This kiln is based on a 2nd century one found in the Medway Estuary! @UCLarchaeology's students created this replica earlier in the summer, and we filmed the process for Butser Plus 👀

It's that time of year again! The spring London Islamic Art sales are upon us, so I'm back with a thread. This time, I'll be focusing on 'A MONUMENTAL SELJUK STUCCO PANEL. IRAN, 12TH CENTURY.' being sold by Christie's.

Thanks to @PDWordsworth for sharing this rather interesting manuscript written by a former BNC student in the Christmas Vac of 1810. It contains a series of “riddles" and “charades” devised by the author! #BNC
