Cloisonné (French pronunciation: [klwazɔne]) is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used, and inlays of cut gemstones, glass and other materials were also used during older periods. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the metal object by soldering or affixing silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.
In antiquity, the cloisonné technique was mostly used for jewellery and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloison walls. In the Byzantine Empire techniques using thinner wires were developed to allow more pictorial images to be produced, mostly used for religious images and jewellery, and by then always using enamel. By the 14th century this enamel technique had spread to China, where it was soon used for much larger vessels such as bowls and vases; the technique remains common in China to the present day, and cloisonné enamel objects using Chinese-derived styles were produced in the West from the 18th century.
The reason why I chose this object is because I got it as a souvenir from the Philippines. Whenever I wear this bracelet, I would always think and feel that I'm at home and remember the child hood memories that I had when I was little. When I was little I didn't have any problems to face and I had a lot of freedom those times and was thankful of everything that I had even though my mom was't there and she was working in another country. Whenever I had this bracelet on, I would always think of home where the air is clear and just fresh, I would see a lot of green trees, a lot of animals and a lot of plants. Even though I'm not at home I still feel that it would be nice to be at home even though I'm away from my original home. I got this as a souvenir from my homeland because I wanted to remember the times where I enjoyed the things that I did while I was still there with my family.
I chose to take the picture this way because I wanted to express the lightness and the darkness of this object. I wanted to put it is as high key because I wanted everything in the background to be light and that it remembers me of home and that everything is fresh and easy to breathe in the good air. Where I'm at in Canada I live in a city where its full of cars and buildings that are releasing bad air such as pollution. I'm that type of person who likes nature and enjoys nature. I wanted to shoot it in way because I wanted to only show the gems in the front because that's the only place where a viewer would wanna see and I wanted to show how this bracelet represents the purity which is also the background that shows the light of its side. The white gems represents the purity and the lightness and the blue gem represents the fresh air that we breathe in and also this bracelet represents love and freedom from my childhood memories where I was free and I had no problems to face when I was little but now a day we live in a world where we have a lot problems and the time where we start growing up and more problems to come.

NPS digital imaging project. We were privileged to have a number of items in our museum collection photographed. This is [what I believe to be] a Steiff bear that belonged to the daughter of a sea captain.

People are always impressed by our reconstruction of a formal Roman garden here at Fishbourne. The garden you see today is based on the archaeological evidence uncovered in the 1960s excavations at Fishbourne.
The garden in Roman times may have contained statues and fountains and was approximately the size of Liverpool football ground’s pitch! It would certainly have demonstrated the important status of this building.
We have used box hedges to fill the original bedding trenches. Although no pollen or plant remains have been found to suggest box hedges were planted in the original bedding trenches, the Roman historian Pliny often refers to this plant in his descriptions of contemporary gardens.
Why not come and enjoy the gardens and all the outdoor space here at Fishbourne Roman Palace and Gardens.
