Such a beautiful polychrome terracotta group of two female figures sitting on a couch, leaning towards one another as if to share a secret. The older woman clasps her bare breast. They are thought to be Demeter and her daughter Persephone, but the identification is unsure. 🏺 1/ #ancientbluesky

Terracotta group of two female figures sitting on a couch with elaborately turned legs, thick cushions, and draped with brightly painted textiles. They lean towards one another as if to share a secret, and the older woman on the right, with her himation pulled over her head, places a hand over her bared breast. The younger woman on the left raises her right hand over her breast under her own himation, mirroring her companion; on her left hand, we can see a large ring with a circular bezel. Each woman wears thick-soled sandals, and the older woman's sole is painted dark red.

We see remains of the white slip - the base coat over which pigments would have been applied - as well as the bright remains of blue on the couch's drapery, and vibrant rose madder pigment on the younger woman's himation (cloak) and the cushions of the couch, red on the sole of the older woman's sandal and the younger woman's chiton (tunic), and a pale pink on the flesh of both women.

Hellenistic, circa 100 BCE. Made in Myrina (Turkey), Asia Minor, where it was said to be found. Terracotta with pigments.

Zeus-Ammon. #Roman copy of a #Greek original from the late 5th century BC. The Greeks of the lower Nile Delta and Cyrenaica combined features of supreme #god Zeus with features of the #Egyptian god Amun-Ra.

#AncientBlueSky🏺 #History

After the Greeks colonized Cyrenaica—now part of Lybia—and established settlements in the lower Nile Delta, they came to associate Zeus with the Egyptian supreme god Amun-Ra, who was often depicted with the head of a ram. The features of both deities are combined in this sculpture.

Worship of Amun, called Ammon by the Greeks, also spread north to the Greek peninsula, with statues and temples erected at Delphi, Sparta, Thebes, Aphytis, and Megalopoli. The poet Pindar wrote a hymn to Ammon, which was inscribed on a triangular pillar at Thebes, where Ammon came to become the principal local deity

Congratulations, @tjeerdroyaards.com, on winning the European Cartoon Award 2025. A powerful cartoon that lays bare how the 'red line' became nothing more than a blood trail drawn, crossed, and ignored by the international community in defense of Israeli impunity.

Cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards won the European Cartoon Award on Friday. Royaards' winning cartoon about the Red Line appeared in Trouw on 30 May 2025. The European Cartoon Award is an annual prize for political cartoons in Europe, selected this year from over four hundred entries from more than thirty countries.

markings as found.

#synthography #art #aiart #fineart #abstract #dada #surrealism

A black and white photograph documenting markings found on a dark asphalt surface. The image shows white paint forming several distinct elements: a large curved arc spanning the upper left portion, straight linear segments creating perpendicular intersections, a circular form containing what appears to be an organic spiral object at its center, and angular directional markings on the right side of the frame. The paint exhibits deterioration with visible cracking, chipping, and areas of loss. The underlying surface shows weathering and textural variations. Dark staining and discoloration are visible across multiple areas of the pavement. The photographic angle is directly overhead, capturing approximately 4-6 feet of surface area.
