“The cross itself is filled with a complex interlace design and the ring which circles the cross is divided into three bands, separated by projecting borders; each ring is decorated with further interlace. The upper part of the cross shaft is decorated with four bands of plait-work.” Archaeological sites of the Isle of Man guidebook. Andrew Johnson & Allison Fox

Hello, my name is Frank and I'm a lettering nerd. Type, print, letter carving, and anywhere that good letters can be found. I like good letters and good letter spacing.
I've said it before and sadly it still stands, not all Roman letter(space)ing is good letter(space)ing.

Fibonacci provides the clues here, turning chaos into order with balance, beauty, grace, and proportion. The organ staircase at St. Mary’s, Studley Royal, designed by William Burges, echoes this harmony in the golden section.

A Roman silver tray featuring images of Roman gods gathered around a shrine. Animals also appear, and the tray has a decorative vine around its rim.
This remarkable Roman silver tray was discovered by a nine-year-old girl called Isabel Cutter on the banks of the River Tyne near Hadrian's Wall in 1735. Known as the Corbridge Lanx, it shows Apollo, Artemis and Athena gathered around a shrine. It is now held at the British Museum #FindsFriday

Today's the feast of St Catherine, by tradition a 4th Century martyr, and one of the most popular of all saints in medieval days.
Here she is with her sword and wheel in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, an early 16C Flemish devotional statue. 1/3

Great piece well worth immersing yourself in for a time so rare to have such old stones preserved .
