Historians have launched a hi-tech search for an ancient bowl which was found in Lincolnshire but has been missing for 130 years.
The Royal Society of Antiquaries is posting a 19th century drawing of the eighth century Witham Bowl on its new website, being launched tomorrow.
The silver artefact was found in the River Witham, at Washingborough, near Lincoln, in 1816.
It is a hanging bowl from the Middle Saxon period and features a mysterious animal at its centre - thought to be a dog or a water monster.
Link found at the Anomalist.
