Brander suspended over the fire and makes a pattern on the cooking bannock, Glengairn (c1800 AD). Cooking in Northern Scotland, up until the 19th century when stoves were introduced, was done at the open hearth, at floor level. If there was a stone chimney, a sway, links and cruik were used to hold the cooking pots over the fire. Usually cooking was done over a peat or turf fire, although very poor people sometimes used dock stalks or animal dung as fuel. This is a 19th century brander from a hearth at Darnabo, Fyvie, Aberdeenshire. The links hold the brander, or barred girdle, nearer to the fire and its height can be adjusted. The quality of the sway, cruik and links often denote the prosperity of the household. All the equipment here is good quality. disc John mcpherson ornament pendant https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/7b4dca24357e019e28272c22bce92627.jpg 4c84856cf7eb0877fd50c31eb75ef916 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One of a selection of snuff mulls (18th -early 19th cent). Clay figurines appear in graves and the household debris of the earliest farmenrs in Mexico, and continued to be made and used by successive civilisations until the Spanish Conquest. Those made by farming communities of the Mexican Neolithic most often represent women, with exaggeration of the breasts and buttocks, perhaps reflecting a concern with human fertility and increase. Images of a later period, especially those from the great classical city of Teotihuacan, illustrate a variety of gods and human types, reflecting the richness and diversity of an elaborate priest-temple cult. small, fired, white clay figurines which were dug up by a workman excavating a trench near Tampico, Vera Cruz State, Mexico, in the 1920's. The figures were all of females and many had exaggerated hips and large buttocks. They are naked and the breasts, navel and vulva are often depicted, and also sometimes the feet and head, but these are not always modelled, and they are small and insignificant. Although the forms of the figurines varies, the essential style emphasises the female sexual characteristics and minimises the head and limbs. They are thought to be prehistoric, certainly Pre-Columbian and probably dating from the first millennium BC. clay figurine John mcpherson https://exhibitions.abdn.ac.uk/university-collections/files/original/dfc38195514d6baf2bd2320bcab9f794.jpg e9b817f0f81c07c245e4146d8f207a6c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Slate button mould (18th-19th cent). Clothing was fastened with buttons often made from horn or from cast metal, sometimes silver. A horn or wooden button often had a metal front with a design stamped on it. Some buttons were decorated with a design which might show the rank or the allegiance of the wearer. This is a slate button mould dating from the 18th or 19th century. It carries one round button matrix which has the design of a Greek cross carved into the stone, surrounded by a border of fine lines. The metal button or button front would have been hammered into the matrix.in order to stamp on the design. There is a second incised design resembling a spade from playing cards. This is much shallower, but would have been used to stamp a design on to metal. This button mould is Scottish but it is not known where it comes from.
