So one of my new favourite things to do is seven-degrees-of-Kevin-Baconing all types of Irish buildings or art or literally anything to beer history. Ie, making connections between what you can see, what there once was, and beer.

![From Wikipedia Mazer, Maplewood with silver-gilt mounts, Unmarked, around 1380 V&A Museum no. M.165-1914
The boss is engraved with the sacred monogram IHC [Jesus]. The mounts are engraved, 'Hold yowre tunge and say ye best and let yowre neyzbore sitte in rest hoe so lustyye God to plese let hys neyzbore lyve in ese' (Hold your tongue and say the best // And let your neighbour sit in rest // He is so eager to please God // He lets his neighbour live in ease). Verses like this, emphasising religious and moral duties, were considered appropriate for drinking vessels as a warning against indulgence.
