A #Roman rock crystal ring decorated with a crescent and stars inlaid with gold foil - it looks like an emoji 🤩, but for the Romans this wasn’t just decoration. The motif was associated with death: crescent and stars were symbols for eternity and afterlife.
Rock crystal was valued...🧵1/2

Apple Tree, I
https://botfrens.com/collections/109/contents/28554
"Apple Tree, I" by Gustav Klimt showcases a vibrant apple tree, teeming with foliage and red apples, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and colorful wildflowers. Klimt, known for his decorative and symbolic style, captures the essence of nature's beauty with intricate details and a mosaic-like pattern that highlights his transition from portraiture to landscapes.

Earthly Paradise
https://botfrens.com/collections/44/contents/1222112
This exceptional object attests to the spirit of collaboration and competition between Paul Gauguin and the younger artist Emile Bernard in the late 1880s. It also speaks to their experimentations with radical new styles and techniques and their desire to break down the hierarchy between painting and applied or decorative art. On three of the five panels, Bernard (left vertical) and Gauguin (center panel and probably top panel) carved men, women, animals, and apple trees inspired by village life at Pont Aven, motifs that they also used in their paintings. On the right panel, however, Gauguin carved figures from his trip the previous year to the tropical island of Martinique, which presaged his future voyages to Tahiti. Through prior gift of Henry Morgen, Ann G. Morgen, Meyer Wasser, and Ruth G. Wasser; restricted gift of Edward M. Blair

One side of this ivory "memento mori" features a human face crawling with worms and insects; the other side shows a skull - the flesh eaten away. Date unknown.

This unusual object is from the Wellcome Collection in London.

This #ReliefWednesday we celebrate Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads and transitions.

This is a votive relief to Hecate and the inscription warns against defacement of the place where the relief was located. Presumably the relief was originally located in a sanctuary to the goddess.
Description from the Kunsthistorisches Museum: “As guardian of places of transition, statues were erected in her honor, often depicting her with a tripartite body, which could multiply her power. This is also how she is portrayed here in the relief: above the lower body with its long, folded garment, the multiple forms are clearly visible: a total of six arms and three (now partially damaged) heads can be discerned.“
