First time trying to forge an animal head. The weather finally cooled down today after a heatwave so I figured, why not start the forge, it's been a while. I finally got to use my eye punch and my small ball punch I made a while ago, that felt great !
Cheers
Portrait of Jan Zizka at Ambras Castle. This portrait was part of Archduke Ferdinand II, which respected Jan Zizka for his ability as a commander to raise an army from peasants during the hussite war.
Illustration from the medical book (herbarium) written by John Cerny in 1517. This is the oldest Czech botanical publication. Seen in the Prague national museum.
Me and my wife are vacationing in Prague, coming all the way from Canada. We took the train for a day trip in Kutna Hora. Here are some of the pictures !

This was truly an amazing day, seeing the Sedlec ossuary, the Sedlec monastery and church, the Italian court and the St Barbara cathedral IRL was truly a phenomenal experience. I wish we had more time to do the silver museum and Italian court tours. We also missed out on the fountain !
The day ended with us finding and stealing buying AN ORIGINAL silver groschen from the reign of King Wenceslas IV which I can't even imagine what it must have been used for all these years ago. Truly an amazing experience which was well worth all the travel.
