Gilded decorated disk
The silver disk was gilded. The decoration shows a kneeling man fighting with a lion. Above him a ram is depicted, flanked by two lions with gaping maws. At the bottow there are two dogs and a cow’s head in the middle.
The style indicates a thracian orgin and ended up in the Netherlands either as booty won by the Celts or a piece of merchandise.

“Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road”
*King of the Road- Roger Miller
I love sharing a glance with you
Touching your bare arm
And observing how you changeYour pulse quickens
Your upper lip glistens
Your nipples stiffenAnd you re-cross your legs
My hand on top of yours
Mating with youAnd its like I dropped your anchor in a confused sea
You revel in your capture
You blink a longing blinkAnd I can only imagine what you see of me
When those beautiful eyes are closed
I savour possessing you, in just such moments.
Some nights I close my eyes and imagine feeling your lips on mine, your whispered words slowly pushing my legs apart.”
