I haven't seen this beautiful and intriguing Bronze Age artifact in the news for awhile. Some think it's a fake. (I don't).
Does it show the Sun, and the Moon in two phases (quarter and sliver)? Or does it show a Full Moon, quarter Moon and sliver Moon, with New Moon implied?
One cluster of stars is recognizable - the Pleiades (the Seven Sisters). Where I live, they can barely be discerned because of the background light.
