In the 8th century, a storage jar made of earthenware stood as a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. Meanwhile, Emperor Charlemagne's passion for education and support for scholars earned him the title of patron of schools. As depicted in an engraving, he even visited schools himself, emphasizing his interest in learning. The influence of this time period extended beyond educational pursuits. A Frankish chief and soldier from the 8th century showcased their bravery and loyalty through an intricate engraving. Similarly, a wall panel portrayed Na-Bolon-K'an adorned in ritual dress, reflecting the religious practices prevalent during that time. Artifacts like a spherical bead with four glyphs made from jadeite hinted at the rich cultural heritage of this era. These small yet significant objects offered glimpses into ancient civilizations' artistic expressions and symbolic language. Charlemagne himself was immortalized in engravings as King of the Franks. His reign marked an important chapter in European history when political power intertwined with intellectual curiosity. The Battle of Poitiers held immense historical significance; its depiction on oil pulp board captured its intensity and impact on shaping medieval Europe's destiny. Religious beliefs were also prominent during this period: The Resurrection of the Dead and Weighing Souls served as reminders to individuals about life's ultimate purpose beyond earthly existence. Notable figures emerged during these times too; Bishop Aldhelm left his mark on Sherborn while Eginhard became known for documenting Charlemagne's life through his writings.
