Are Disabled people invisible? New blog piece by Fazilet Hadi
Whilst the funding of the social security system and our support and services are almost a daily discussion, our actual lives never seem to factor into the conversation.

An exceptionally rare, 11th-12th Century CE, gold ring with an engraved two-faced design, discovered during excavations at the Wawel Royal Castle in Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱
Unearthed by archaeologists working at the historic Wawel Hill site, it is the only artifact of its specific kind ever found in Poland and likely belonged to a member of the early elite.
The gold ring is intricately decorated with two opposing anthropomorphic faces engraved on a shield. This elaborate ornamentation sets it apart from other early medieval gold rings discovered in Poland, which typically lack such intricate designs or are adorned with simple geometric patterns.
The discovery occurred within the confines of the castle’s Danish Tower, one of its four residential towers, constructed under the orders of King Władysław II Jagiełło in the late 14th to early 15th Century CE. The ring was found atop the remains of a former stone structure, likely a defensive rampart.
Believed to have been produced locally, the ring’s craftsmanship and style align with the typical aesthetic of the Polish region during the medieval period. It may have belonged to a member of the elite under the Piast dynasty, which ruled Poland from its inception in the 10th Century until the 14th Century CE.
