A Minoan gold pendant which consists of two bees facing each other in the process of depositing a drop of honey in their honeycomb. They hold a round, granulated honeycomb between their legs and a round gold ‘drop’ of honey in their mouths. On their heads is a spherical filigree cage enclosing a solid gold sphere. Three cut-out circular gold discs decorated with filigree and granulation hang from their wings and sting. Excavated from the Chrysolakkos necropolis, Malia, Crete, dated 1800 BC.

‘Bee-eautiful’ gold pendant from Bronze Age Malia, Crete.

Usually said to represent a pair of bees placing a drop of honey into a honeycomb. A delightful piece of Minoan jewellery inspired by nature 3,800 years ago!

The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums The Institute of Museum and Library Services has long received bipartisan support. But after years of trying, President Donald Trump has delivered it a crushing blow.

DOGE has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide. In communities across the US, the cuts threaten student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to popular digital services, such as the ebook app Libby.
