This beautiful cloisonné brooch is made of gold, garnet, multicolored glass and pearls. It dates to the time of Charlemagne & was discovered in a well in Dorestad. What a great find.

Here's the Abu Nuwas poem from c800 ACE, btw:
In the bath-house, the mysteries hidden by trousers
Are revealed to you.
All becomes radiantly manifest.
Feast your eyes without restraint!
You see handsome buttocks, shapely trim torsos,
