Old aesthetics

Many of us have pretty clear ideas in our heads about what Norse or Celtic, etc, historical aesthetics look like, but no idea when it comes to Finnish ones. Therefore, I wanted to set up a little gallery. ... I say but of course we can't know from an artifact what language its maker spoke, or how they identified. So therefore, gallery of stuff from Finland asterisk I can't know if its maker or user spoke Finnish.

To understand what years the different ages mean, see my timeline.
