List Of treasure Robbed From Ireland In the British Museum

Location: Ireland

And for those interested in pre antiquity of any kind

Note this is typical of the elaborated ignorance guesswork that ends up as a presentation of knowledge (presumably to portray some notion of credibilty! )

Quote:

These unusual objects are known as 'crotals' - globular or pear-shaped bells or rattles. They may have been rather heavy for suspension from straps, for example on horse harnesses, and instead may have hung from a rigid support, such as the draught-pole of a wagon. In this way the sound produced while in motion, while not very 'musical', would nevertheless draw attention to and enhance the procession of the wagon. As wagon accessories, crotals join other ornamental bronzes in embellishing wheeled vehicles in this period.

In other words

They dont know

But!! Ye can never sort of 'own the right' to something ye have no idea about Question

All part of the 'image' of stolen goods presented in a museum as culture, and 'theirs' as well Laughing
