Quite the crafty day. Bread in the morning, #pyrography in the afternoon. In order to practice and make things that interest me, I attempt to recreate motifs on archaeological objects. This is a Quoit Brooch Style (QBS) mount for a strap or furniture. QBS bears hallmarks of Late Roman and early medieval aesthetics, suggesting its a transitional style such as objects for 'Anglo-Saxon' clients by Roman craftspeople. Fun exercise!
