1) A truly incredible artefact - This portable bronze writing case was found in an elite male burial in Thessaloniki, dating to around 350 BC. The fold-up case consists of two hinged half-cylinders with lidded compartments and a built-in inkwell.
From UTs own @AntiqueThought ! Great cover, great metaphor
