<p>During medieval times, oyster shells were often used as paint palettes for intricate wall paintings or manuscripts. Very few oyster shell palettes have been found from this period and astonishingly this was found during excavations for the Millennium Library at the Forum. It is anticipated that this item will spark interest from artists or art groups, those interested in local history and would make a lovely gift for any creative friends or family members.</p><p><strong>The minimum donation to become a Silver Adopter of this object is £30</strong>.
