2. España 
Una silla de roble con una conexión española
#DYK the castle on this crest is not Windsor Castle? It’s the Castle of Castile! The crest was given to Windsor by Edward I and his wife, Eleanor of Castile and is made up of their Coat of Arms & a deer for the town.

4. Misr 
yd almawmia'
This female mummy’s hand possibly dates from #Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, the 'Golden Age' of the Old Kingdom. Most likely brought back to the UK as a souvenir in the 19th Century & donated to the former Maidenhead Museum before the First World War.

7. भारत 
एक तलवार
This beautiful sword has chiselled engravings, which we think shows the Ram Lila legend and is possibly from North India. This sword was found in a house in #Windsor before 1959. Was it a souvenir of someone's travels? We’d love to know more about it.

8. USA 
Photo of an American Plaque.
You’ll find this plaque in Boston, USA, recording Windsorian, later Bostonian Captain Robert Keayne, who left a bequest to Harvard in his will. Look out for a similar plaque on River Street, #Windsor where his family's butchers shop was.
