This collection was inspired by the historic site known as Mine Howe which was found in Tankerness, Orkney. Surrounded by an earthen ditch, the area may have been considered sacred since the Neolithic period (4000 – 2500BC), or earlier, but the style of the construction is very reminiscent of the Iron Age (700BC – 500AD). One of the most unique, simple and beautiful things to be found so far was a stud or button with a cross-like design.
