Bronze Age Incense Bowl

Written By Andy Ward

It's #FindsFriday so I thought I would post a recent image I took of the #BronzeAge incense cup from the Lord of the Manor excavation undertaken by Trust For Thanet Archaeology and Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society. This small cup dating between c. 1650 and 1400 BCE is decorated with twisted cord patterns.

It's one of a small number of cups found in Bronze Age graves. The cup is currently on display at Maidstone Museums as part of our temporary exhibition and more information on the cup will hopefully be published soon.
