#FindsFriday #FerrousFriday #Celtic: The birch hat (diameter 35 cm) of the man from the burial mound in #Hochdorf distinguished him from the other members of his tribe.
`He was not only a tribal leader, he also led the sacrifice. It is therefore reasonable to assume that we are dealing here with a #sacral king, the forerunner of the #druids. The state archaeologist of Baden-Württemberg, Dirk Krausse, explains two other unusual finds: `With a heavy iron axe, the deceased apparently killed defencible sacrificial animals (deer, cattle) by striking them on the forehead. A spear was then used to kill the animals with a blow to the heart.`

Oh Mann, ich hätte noch so viel mehr für heute! 🙈 Aber eine kleine #Kirche bzw. #Kapelle muss noch: die faszinierende Watts Cemetery Chapel in dem kleinen englischen Dorf #Compton. Hier hat sich die Künstlerin Mary Fraser-Tytler 1896 in Sachen #Jugendstil, #Celtic Revival und mehr so richtig ausgetobt. Fanden viele nicht so lustig, aber wenn ihr mal in der Gegend seid, solltet ihr euch unbedingt mal davon erschlagen lassen. 😉 Außerdem: #Doorsday! // Gaaaah, I could share so many more buildings today! 🙈 But one more tiny #church or #chapel is a must: the fascinating #WattsCemeteryChapel in the village of Compton, #Surrey. Resident artist Mary Fraser-Tytler went wild with #ModernStyle, #CelticRevival, and several other styles in 1896. Many contemporaries were not amused, but if you're ever in the vicinity, pay a visit and be flabbergasted (or 𝘨𝘰𝘥smacked?). 😉 Also: #Doorsday!

Im Inneren der schlichten katholischen #Kathedrale St. Sebastian in #Magdeburg. Die unterschiedlichen Säulen fand ich sehr interessant. // Interior of Magdeburg's #Catholic #Cathedral – St. Sebastian. I found the different pillars quite interesting.
