Magical Relief https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/47426
Soft limestone stela. The central portion of the piece is occupied by a large four-handed figure of the god Bes. He wears a high crown decorated with various animal heads. His two upper hands support figures which occupy the upper corner of the stela, the left figure being a cynocephalus ape, the right an ibis, emblems of the god Thoth. Behind the body of the god are elongated figures which may be conventionalized serpents. At the feet of Bes are two bound captives. Below these figures is a register with three bound and kneeling captives at each end, the intervening space being filled by three animal figures which appear to be a lobster, crab, and a lion-like animal. There is a semi-circular opening in the middle of this register. It probably served a magical purpose in guarding Egypt from the foreign invaders depicted in the captive figures. The workmanship is good. Condition: The limestone is extremely soft and is chipping in various places. The base of the piece is badly weathered and there are numerous chips, the head of the ibis being badly chipped.

A small comic about god coming into being. Inspired by golden dawn material
A circle appears then a frame, when the circle has a dot in the center the dot says "shame that Im god and I cant even think" The dot ectends a line beyond itself and layers of nesting circles are added within itslef as it realizes it just had a thought. When it realizes it has started thinking it "explodes" and then settles saying "neat" it turns itself into a three eyed being for convience and looks at itself. It says "Little wierd both the mirror and the reflection are equally me" and the mirror which is also god says "well, you're a little weird"

This silk hitoe kimono transforms into a living aquatic tableau. Swimming through this liquid landscape are wild carp (nishikigoi), rendered with much technical skill using silver metallic thread inserts that catch and reflect light like actual fish scales moving through water. 1940-1960, Japan
