Weekend walking in the Peak gave an opportunity to revisit the Wirksworth slab. Probably late 8C and the coped top of a tomb from which scenes on the left have been lost. The iconography is connected to Eastern Mediterranean and has been much discussed. @ascorpus.bsky.social especially intriguing 1/
Just out! As @sarahsemple.bsky.social says, '544 pages and 190 images of pure sculptural joy!' A fantastic cast list and a tremendous achievement @ascorpus.bsky.social. boydellandbrewer.com/book/early-m...
Had such a wonderful rock ‘n’ road trip in Ireland in the summer (shared on the other site), so returned in October for more road tripping in Wicklow, Kildare and Tipperary.
