The photograph you see above, is of a a large 'ceiling boss' discovered during the archaeological digs that took place between the 1960s-1990s. This 'boss' has been called 'Samson and the Lion' but there is some debate as to whether it is Samson or of 'David and the Lion'. This boss was sent to Rome for examination and returned to the BANES archives. We are delighted that this Boss and many other artefacts will be on display at the Pop-Up museum. We look forward to seeing you there!
