Works featured in these exhibitions


The Nebra Sky Disk by unknown artist. Photograph of the Nebra Sky Disc, an agèd bronze disc with a blue-green underlay and gold symbolic detailing to depict cosmic bodies in the night sky. In addition to the small golden circles scattered across the disc (mimicking the stars), there are four larger golden symbols: a large circle on the left, a crescent on the right, a thick arc along the right-hand edge of the disc, and an inverted arc underneath the circle and crescent shapes.
Peapod with ten biblical scenes, by unknown German artist. •	This wooden object, which mimics a peapod, opens to reveal five internal ‘peas’. Each spherical pea opens on a hinge and exposes two intricate carvings, detailing biblical scenes. These are taken from Genesis, including the creation and eventual disobedience of Adam and Eve, and the New Testament, with scenes of the annunciation and crucifixion, among others, included.
Fossil Necklace, by Katie Paterson. A long, beaded necklace of 170 dainty spherical beads set against a black background. The beads vary in colour but are primarily different shades of brown and grey, giving the necklace and natural and earthly appearance.
