The Fuller Brooch
Anglo-Saxon, late 9th century AD
The earliest known personification of the Five Senses
This splendid circular brooch is made from hammered sheet silver. The centre part is decorated with five figures who represent the five human senses. In the centre is Sight, with large staring oval eyes. Sight was thought of as the most important of the senses in medieval times. The other four senses surround Sight, and can be identified by their actions. Taste has a hand in his mouth. Smell's hands are behind his back, and he stands between two tall plants. Touch rubs his hands together. Hearing holds his hand to his ear. In the outer border are human, bird, animal and plant motifs, which may represent different aspects of creation. The figures stand out clearly because the background has been inlaid with black niello. The meaning of this brooch would have been easily understood by King Alfred the Great (died AD 899), soldier, administrator, and Christian scholar who wrote about gaining inner wisdom through the 'eyes of the mind'. It may have been made in his court workshop.
Both men and women would have worn a brooch like this on an outer garment to make sure that it was visible to other people.
Although its pin and fixings have been removed, the brooch has survived in excellent condition. Early in the twentieth century a curator at The British Museum thought that it must be a fake because it was in such good condition. He advised the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford which had been lent the brooch, to take it off display. It was then bought by Captain Fuller (after whom the brooch is now named) for the value of its silver. However, after the beautiful Strickland Brooch, also in The British Museum, was found, this one was re-examined and confirmed as genuine because the niello inlay was a type only used in the early Middle Ages.

This is an image of the moons halo generating a rainbow through high thin water filled clouds, and the moon was cut and pasted on the image to show where the moon would be. the black area with in the rainbow was blacked out as it was the over exposed moon, making it hard to see the rainbow in the image. The lunar halo image was taken with a FUJIFILM FinePix S3500 at 1 second exposure. The image of the moon was taken with my meade deep sky imager through a 6 inch reflector telescope.
Arriva 1642 arrives back in town on a Sunday 219 after another circuit of North Tonbridge, seen on Shipbourne Road while my son and I waited for the George & Dragon pub to open so we could watch Arsenal.
1637-1642 were new to Tunbridge Wells for the cross town 281 in that locality but were displaced by Wright Streetlites some time ago. 1642 is one that has stayed at 'TW' on other duties, and its capacity is seen as sufficient for a Sunday on this route. 6/11/16.
This Installation made my customer VERY happy!
Ever since he purchased this Mid-Century Modern home he had no idea of how to protect / where to find a circular fireplace screen to match his Circular Fireplace....
that is-

Vivid Light transforms Sydney into a wonderland of 'light art' sculptures, innovative installations and grand-scale projections for all to enjoy.

Imagine a giant canvas where you can paint and splash light collaboratively. Giant concentric circles invite you to leap onto them. When you do, you enter a world where play and movement create swirling effects of light and colour. Welcome to The Pool.
More than 100 interactive circular platforms sit side by side. Each pad is independent and simultaneously interacts with and ‘listens’ to its environment, adjusting its output according to your movements. It senses where you place your feet, how heavily you land, and how quickly you leap and bound.
Together with all your ‘pool playmates’, you can instruct your pads to create complex, and delightfully unpredictable patterns of colour.

"Whilst researching this topic I came across the hidden history of women who were active within the movement and in single sex relationships, something I had never heard of.
These women deserve to have their names recognised"
I chose an Australian gum tree pod as my found object. It is set with blind rivets and held in place by tension and some stitches that I pulled up in metal.

Casa urbana situada al nucli de Palou, davant de la carretera d'Olivella. És un edifici aïllat de planta irregular i tres crugies. El cos central sobresurt respecte els laterals, de dos nivells d'alçat, amb el pis de les golfes. La coberta és a dues vessants amb el carener paral·lel a la façana. Al centre del frontis hi ha el portal d'arc pla arrebossat, sobre el qual hi ha un finestral de les mateixes característiques amb sortida a un balcó de baranes forjades. Queda rematat amb un plafó ceràmic amb iconografia religiosa i un rellotge de sol ovalat. Les golfes s'obren amb una galeria de cinc pòrtics d'arc de mig punt, el central de majors dimensions, i brancals ceràmics. Els cossos laterals presenten una finestra per pis, la superior amb sortida a un petit balcó. El cos de llevant es prolonga amb el celler, amb un portal d'arc escarser arrebossat, sota el qual hi ha un pedrís que permetia abocar el raïm. A la façana posterior hi ha adossats diversos cossos d'alçades i cobertes variables. El ràfec està acabat amb una imbricació de teules i rajoles ceràmiques. L'acabat exterior és arrebossat i pintat de color blanc a la façana principal, mentre que la resta té el parament de paredat comú vist.
Al cadastre de l'any 1716-17 hi apareix un tal Andreu Muntane del Palou. Més endavant, segons consta en el llibre d'Apeo de l'any 1847, la masia pertanyia a Pau Parés i Llopis.
AS08-14-2506 (21-27 Dec. 1968) --- This photograph of a nearly full moon was taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft at a point above 70 degrees east longitude. (Hold picture with moon's dark portion at left). Mare Crisium, the circular, dark-colored area near the center, is near the eastern edge of the moon as viewed from Earth. Mare Nectaris is the circular mare near the terminator. The large, irregular maira are Tranquillitatis and Fecunditatis. The terminator at left side of picture crosses Mare Tranquillitatis and highlands to the south. Lunar farside features occupy most of the right half of the picture. The large, dark-colored crater Tsiolkovsky is near the limb at the lower right. Conspicuous bright rays radiate from two large craters, one to the north of Tsiolkovsky, the other near the limb in the upper half of the picture. These rayed craters were not conspicuous in Lunar Orbiter photography due to the low sun elevations when the Lunar Orbiter photography was made. The crater Langrenus is near the center of the picture at the eastern edge of Mare Fecunditatis. The lunar surface probably has less pronounced color that indicated by this print.
