Mysterium Regnum Plantarum (Pancrace Bessa)
“Bessa was commonly known as the painter of flowers. Because he specialized in scientific and lifelike representations of various plants, he also worked with the most important French horticulturists and botanists. Especially in this period, when many new plants were discovered and were to be catalogued, the pictures of plants and also some animals Bessa made were of great importance. Mainly he painted plants. When he painted animals, he mainly painted insects. Coloured engravings of a raven or a kangaroo are therefore rather the exception. His pictures stand out strongly because they are so detailed and vivid. His entire oeuvre comprises several hundred pictures.
Born in Paris on 1 January 1772, Bessa also completed his studies in Paris at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. His art was influenced above all by the plant painters Gérard van Spaendonck and Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Maria Karolina of Naples-Sicily, the Duchess of Berry, daughter-in-law of Charles X, was an important supporter of Bessa. This patronage expanded in the following years to such an extent that Bessa gave art lessons to the ducal family, especially to the Duchess herself. Before his death in 1864 Bessa produced his last work of art, Flore des Jardiniers. An eye for detail, a love of the world of plants and colourful illustrations make Bessa a very special painter of the time. © Meisterdrucke.”

The Discovery in Nackhälle
This fantastic shield was found in Nackhälle, Spannarps parish in Varberg, Sweden in 1865. The shield is adorned with beautiful sirats, one of which is perceived to be fifteen swans. It’s dated to the younger Bronze Age through these types of ornaments and is truly an unusual find if you ask me.
The shield belonges to a group of splendor shields manufactured in eastern Germany, the so-called Herzprung shields. These was at first unknown until year 1985, when shields belonging to this group were found in Denmark and Ireland. But the same year, a finding of at least fourteen shields was made in Sweden, the Fröslunda shields. These had several similarites to the Herzsprung shields but also the one found in Nackhälle. This discovery inspired to a after study in 1990 of the Nackhälle shield, over a hundred years later the discovery was made.
Photo by me from the Historical Museum in Stockholm.
These beautiful golden sword details really caught my eye first time I saw them.
All three are findings from Sweden and are dated do the migrationperiod (400-550 AD). Sword pommel found in Skurup, Skåne. The sword mouth in the middle was found in Backa, Bohuslän and the other one in Mellby, Västergötland.
Can’t get enough of all these beautiful golden ornamented objects from this period.
