How was gleninsheen gorget made?
A piece of gold was beaten flat and shaped into a crescent. The dots and rope molding design were created by a technique called repousse which means the design was incised into the back of the object so it would appear raised on the front. The circles were also beaten from gold sheet and decorated using a combination of incision and repousse. I do not know however how the circles were attached to the crescent but soldering was used in Ireland at this time so I'd say it was soldered.
How can you tell the difference between a girl and boy hummingbird?
As with many species of birds, male hummingbirds are typically more brightly colored than females. In North America, the most common species of hummingbird are the Ruby-Throated and the Rufous. Both species are sexually dimorphic (meaning you can tell the difference between a male and a female by looking at them). Male Ruby-Throated hummers have a bright red gorget (or bib) that the females lack. Likewise, male Rufous hummers have a bright orange gorget, while females do not. When hummingbirds are young and sexually immature, males and females can appear identical. Also, there are a couple of species, such as the Berylline and Buff-bellied hummingbirds, where the color variation between an adult male and female are difficult to distinguish.
