> 0901714690 paperback. As the title suggests this book is more concerned

> weavers' swords, toggles, an awl, knife handles, bowls, spoons, winders,
> a harness bow, a plane, a writing tablet, a shuttle(?), a carding comb,
> toys, and fragments of larger things like benches and chairs.

> Wallace, Patrick F.(Ed.):  Miscellanea 1: Medieval Dublin Excavations
> 1962-81 National Museum of Ireland, 48pp PB Royal Irish Academy, Dublin,
> 1988 PB, ISBN 0901714712, HB ISBN 0901714712. $14 from Amazon.com.
> The first section is a Bibliography of Dublin 840-1300 listing all
> articles.
> About 5 pages of solid bibliography by Patrick Wallace.
> The second section is A 'Winchester-style' Bronze Mount by Andrew
> Halpin. This depicts four mounts. Similar ones are thought to possibly
> have been sword pommels. This one is highly carved in an animalistic
> romanesque style and is thought to have been a ceremonial staff end of
> some type. (Although to me it looks like the animals would have been
> upside down in context). 10 C. English Import. Two inches wide by about
> 5/8" thick. Shown actual size in three orthographic drawings, and one
> photo.
>    The third section if Ship Graffiti and Models by Arne-Emil
> Christianson.
> This one looks like fun, it has a number of graffiti of early ships
> including a horned dragon head ship and some obvious toys and models.
> Both carved models and real boats are illustrated. Also a Birka coin and
> a wooden gaming piece from High Street which is rather like a checker
> piece.
> 25 illus. Bibliography.
>    The fourth section is Romanesque bookbinding fragments by Joseph
> McDonnell and has a number of book stamp styles illustrated. Not the
> actual punches but the impressions of them. This kind of illustration is
> fairly rare. The leather bits and the six different stamp designs used
> are depicted.
>   The last section if Pilgrim Souvenirs by Brian Spencer which consists
> of quite a number of differently shaped Ampullae. Ten illustrations and
> about 40 citations in the bibliography.
>
> Treasures of Irish Art 3000 BC to 1500 AD is there in the Irish Edition.
> This is one of the best books on Jewellery ever photographed and
> printed.
> Absolutely stunning. I have the English edition and the two above.
