just wanted to sketch my dream;; I made a post describing it but just going to copy paste:
I had a dream in which Aule forged a body vessel after the War of the Ring and put Sauron’s wandering exiled soul in it, then he built a house for them on Arda and they stayed there, with Sauron being raised again by Aule because he got wild after having his soul forcefully put into a body he didn’t choose
Viking Torc with Axehead Pendants, 8th-11th Century AD
A silver flat sectioned torc, narrowing to the ends and engraved with
lines forming triangular patterns; five suspension rings to the body
with large silver suspension loops with threaded wire over body and with
axe pendant to each with engraved sun burst pattern
This fine gold necklace, dated from the early Hellenistic period, is made with a ‘loop-in-loop’ technique, known only from this era. Its chains of warm reddish gold are constructed of twisted double-figure-eight links. The center part of the necklace is adorned with three oval cloisonné settings containing blue glass gems. A wonderful example of the use of bright coloured glass in ancient jewelry. The necklace is wearable and still has the original closure.
McDermott’s Castle on Castle Island, County Roscommon, Ireland

Shield of Sarduri II, King of Urartu, 8th Century BC
Decorated with images of lions and oxen. A cuneiform inscription on the edge reads: “Sarduri, son of Argishti dedicates this helmet to god Ḫaldi.”
Sarduri II (ruled 764-735 BC) succeeded his father Argishti I to the throne. The Urartian Kingdom was at its peak during his reign, campaigning successfully against several neighboring powers, including Assyria. Sarduri II was so confident in his power that he erected a massive wall at Tushpa (modern-day Van) with the following inscription: “The magnificent king, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of the land of Nairi, a king having none equal to him, a shepherd to be wondered at, fearing no battle, a king who humbled those who would not submit to his authority.” He was succeeded by his son, Rusa I.
Ancient Coin with the Image of the Persian God Baaltars
This silver stater was struck around 379 to 374 BC under the rule of the Persian satrap Phanabazos II at Tarsos (Tarsus) in Cilicia. The obverse bears the image of Baaltars seated and holding a lotus tipped scepter with ‘BLTRZ’ inscribed behind. The reverse shows a bearded and helmeted male head (possibly Ares) with the inscription ‘FRNBZW HLK’. Stunning natural iridescent toning. Extremely Fine.
Baaltars (combination of “Baal” and “Tarsus”) was a deity of the Persian Empire, the Baal or Zeus of the city of Tarsus. His depiction appears on coins of the Persian kings or satraps of Cilicia at Tarsus before Alexander the Great in the 5th and 4th century BC and also on the coins of the early Seleucids.
