Gathered garnet (The West Yorkshire Hoard)

By  Lorna Johnson 2020
Wrapped, cloaked, gathered to make safe. Adding protection to the metals it often embellishes, encrusts or set within. Singular it can help, but with many, light work is made to disguise. Size: 6cm (h) x 11cm (w) x 12cm (l) Materials: Linen, thread, garnet beads, glass ‘garnet’ beads
