🎤 Hey fans! Wondering what the scripture is on Bambie Thug's face? 🎵

It's called Ogham! ✏️ A unique writing system native to Ireland!

Consisting of vertical and horizontal lines, Ogham was typically recorded on materials, such as sticks 🪵 trees 🌲 & stone 🪨 and is believed to date as far back as the 4th century AD! 😲

If YOU 🫵 want to see an example for yourself, make sure to visit the Collecting Coventry exhibition at The Herbert 🗓️ (launching 11th May) where our locally found Ogham stone will be going on display! 🪨
