Great to see the progress at Vikingtidsmuseet, and lovely to see these steatite bowls, which remind me both of the collections at Shetland Museum and Archives and the remarkable Shetlandic steatite (soapstone) quarries at Catpund / Cunningsburgh [...]

Steatite bowls being placed in boxes for transportation.
