A: They do help, but the focus is more on Empresses because there are more sculptures made of the same person rather than a single one of a single noblewoman, so better for comparative purposes.

A: I am not really sure, it depends on whether we already have existing information on the chemical used for these dyes and pigments.

A question for Ruby Chin on statues: Q: What scientific methods are there for analysing residual traces of pigments? Would XRF analysis pick up any chemical signatures?

A: Because they’re a low value copper alloy coin, its not a convenient or economical way of keeping wealth in one place. I think it is some way of keeping money that you need to access relatively easy.

A: It would definitely have been attached to some sort of organic material, and served some sort of decorative purpose, either a necklace or leather helmet, but again would require experimentation to prove or disprove this.

Another question for @DaveyJonny: Q: Could the objects have performed a similar function to those on the Sutton Hoo helmet made of organic materials that has since degraded over time, hence the confusion?

A: Potentially recreating some objects and then hafting them onto things, preferably out of bronze, but making casts would also work to test potential usage.
