@FHawksworth 😂😂 And we love that about you!

We love a “Guess What It Is?”
From absurd guesses to eerily accurate ones, you never disappoint.
Here is another one… What do you think it is? 👀

@FHawksworth They are also called ear tunnels, which I kind of like.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@FHawksworth Ha! Now that says a lot about your thinking 😂 I was worn in the region of a person's head.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@AndyWoodturner 😂😂😂

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@BOUDICC88003310 It would work well for that, but no. This object was used to adorn the body.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@AndyWoodturner All great suggestions. I am surprised you didn't say a lamp. I know how much you love to see an object upcycled into a lovey, quirky lamp. This object was used to adorn the body.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@FHawksworth Whilst hamsters were voted the most popular pet of the Japanese Neolithic 😂, that is not what this is used for. It was used to adorn a part of the body...

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@LeroivAmis No. It was an object used to adorn the body...

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@littlemore20 100%, but I am learning this object has a lot more names than I was aware of. I thought it was just called a plug.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@LanceGoober @AndyWoodturner A great suggestion, and I think it would work for that, but no. It is for body adornment.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@MarthaH49758600 This, I think, would work really well, as would your suggestion of a thread spool. But, no.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@MarthaH49758600 I like your thinking, and I can see how it could be used as a stamp, but no. It is for body adornment.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@feakins25 A diabolo for a mouse 😂 Nope! It is for body adornment.

[Sarah Lord @PotsOfHistory]

@BOUDICC88003310 😂😂😂 I love it. I liked this particular figure because he has a bit of a belly on him, rather than the hench six-pack. I feel he is more representative of real people.

I suspect if you walked into most pottery studios, you’d find tools being used for things they were never designed for. Ours includes potato mashers, bone corset stays, crochet hooks and a bone tongue depressor 😅

Mithraism was secretive, symbolic, exclusive… & usually centred around intimate cave shrines. I wonder if Roman Mithras worshippers would have had a Discord channel. I suspect yes 😅See the centrepiece of Mithraic worship, the Tauroctony: https://t.co/G0OgrIU9pf

@BOUDICC88003310 The Mithraum is top of my visit list next time I am in London. It looks amazing!

Why is Bes a big deal? 👀

Unlike many ancient gods, he feels… approachable.

A fierce protector of homes, women, children & daily life.

I strongly suspect he’d support your kitchen dancing & shower singing 😅

That makes him special.
