If you haven't got any plans this coming Sunday why not join folks over at the ISSE conference, as they explore the burial pyramids of Poland, metaphorically speaking. Expertly guided by Anastasija Goliewskaja, who will discuss both design and histories of such Polish marvels.

I had the privilege to visit the @Cambridge_Uni Museum of Art and Anthropology for an object research session earlier this week.

#Predynastic #Egyptian #palettes were originally made between 4400 and 3200 BCE, however the story doesn’t stop there and there were workshops in the 19th and 20th Centuries re-carving Predynastic objects and more recently in the 21st Century creating replicas.
