In honour of last night's beautiful moon.

The second picture has words by Maya Angelou.
"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."

If you enjoy seeing my work, I'd love it if you could show your friends who are on here too. Thank you 😊

Something lovely for the weekend!

Ancient Egyptian gold headband decorated with heads of gazelles and a stag between stars or flowers. Second Intermediate (Hyksos) period, Dynasty 15, c. 1648–1540 BC. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

#Archaeology

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian gold head ornament viewed from the front against a grey background. The headband is made of hammered sheet gold, the ends of which have been tapered to a narrower width and rolled to form loops. A string would have threaded through the loops to fasten the band around the head at the back. The front of the band is decorated with a central head of an antlered stag, identified as the Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica). The stag has two large antlers, large ears and a triangular-shaped head. It is flanked on either side by two gazelle heads. The gazelle heads have long ears and long curved horns which point outwards at the tip. Between the animal heads are four 8-pointed flowers or stars. Dimensions: height of central stag 8.9, length of headband 49.5 cm.

Dated to the Second Intermediate period (c. 1648-1540 BC) when northern Egypt was ruled by the Hyksos from the ancient Near East. Said to be part of a group of objects found in the Eastern Delta near Avaris, the Hyksos capital. The headband shows a mix of ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian artistic styles.

Happy Anniversary to the Stockton and Darlington Railway which opened 200 years ago today 🥳 It was the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives. This photograph shows the Ashover Light Railway opening ceremony nearly a 100 years later.

Black and white photograph. In the foreground there are the four engine drivers: Miss Turbutt, Mrs John Jackson, Mrs Johnson, Mr W.T.H Jackson. To the right of them is a train with flags on it, pulling a carriage. To the left is a wooden waiting room. Behind them is a crowd of people, two men in uniform in the engine cab and more crowds of people stood on the bank of a hill on the left handside.

My capybara is looking a bit more like The Princess Bride's rodents of unusual size at the moment 😂

Quarter Session deposited railway plans can be an excellent source for local history. Here's a short #Railway200 video guide, which explains what they are and how to use them

I'm going to be spending the next few days making capybara eyelids and eyelashes so this lovely thread about them is quite timely!

I took this picture at Padley Gorge last week but I've only just noticed that it looks like it has an alien facehugger in the middle of it 😂
