"The lack of oxygen in peat inhibits microbial activity so organic artefacts like leather wood and human remains dont decompose in the usual way and can survive for millennia. Ancient people also deliberately deposited high value artefacts made of metal or stone (e.g. tools weapons jewellery) in bogs which were seen as sacred places. In modern times these artefacts have been found by peat diggers digging for peat to use as fuel https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020071113477243126 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020071113477243126"

"Definitely channeling good boy energy However the museum refers to it as a wolfs head. Probably because the wolf was a positive symbol of protection for Romans i.e. the she-wolf nursed Romulus and Remus founders of the city of Rome. Wolves were also associated positively with Mars the Roman god of war. Ideal symbolism of protection and power for a public water fountain"
