Sherman M4A4 Medium Tank of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards Armoured Division from the British Empire dated to 1944 on display at the Imperial War Museum in London, England

The M4A4 Sherman was part of the lend lease programme from the United States of America to the other allies during the Second World War. The Grenadier armoured division used these tanks during the campaigns against the fascists in North West Europe.

Celtic Bronze Ceremonial Axe excavated from Hallstatt, Austria dated between 800 - 450 BCE on display at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria

This small axe was a symbol of status and rank in Hallstatt where many were found in man’s graves. The trousers of the horseman are one of the oldest representations of this sort of clothing in Europe. Trousers are thought to have been developed for the special needs of horsemen. Horse and rider were thought to be highly respected by the society who made this.

It’s Fossil Friday! Take a bite out of the weekend with Dilophosaurus wetherilli, a carnivorous dinosaur that lived some 194 million years ago during the Early Jurassic. This dino acquired its name, which means “double-crested reptile,” from the paired crests on its skull. They were possibly used for display. This specimen was found in 1942 at the Kayenta Formation in Tuba City, Arizona. You can see it in the Museum’s Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs!

Celtic Gold Dagger excavated from Hallstatt, Austria dated about the 6th Century BCE on display at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria

The rare golden objects in the Hallstatt graves are rather small where as the gold objects found in barrow graves elsewhere from this period are significantly larger. Gold seems to have been reserved for the political elite and the lack of larger objects suggests richer lords resided elsewhere.
