It’s okay to notice them. But we don’t have to keep them. Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🤍

A dress for a diva with a gorgeously pearl encrusted costume made in the #1880s for the Spanish Italian opera singer Adelina Patti. It was created by Parisian firm Morin Blossier, a team of sisters designing costume and couture for many famous clients #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Learning ancient languages is fun. It’s always like: “We don’t know what the second person plural pronoun was, but here are 50 words for “kill.””

A true rarity, this bronze goose was discovered in the ruins of Constantinople’s famed luxurious hippodrome. It has a pipe in its beak, so it was probably part of a fountain, providing water to the 100,000 spectators who could fit into the circus stands. 🏺 1/ Roman, 4th c. CE. #BritishMuseum 📸 me

Vittorio Matteo Corcos, Sogni (Dreams), 1896 (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome). A portrait of Elena Vecchi, daughter of the writer Augusto Vecchi, a friend of the artist. A sensation at the time for candid and direct portrayal of a modern, independent young woman. #arthistory #ottocento

This little #Roman silver statuette of a shepherd is displayed incorrectly at the #BritishMuseum (1st pic). Because when he's turned, you can see that he's carrying an adorable smiling lamb in a skin bag slung over his shoulder. 😍 🏺 1/ Probably 1st c. CE. 📸 me #ancientbluesky

The great Buddha at Tennō-ji next to the Yanaka cemetery, Tokyo. This bronze sculpture was made in 1690. You can't really see the size here, but the sitting figure has the height of a (tall) grown man. It is generally referred to as Tennō-ji Daibutsu (天王寺大仏: The great Buddha at the Tennō temple).

Was just sharing this image with some folks on here and thought it was worth sharing more widely. This is what happens when the sun hits Byzantine mosaics and you're standing at just the right angle. They turn into a negative image! From a visit to Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, #Ravenna flic.kr/p/2q35Nfx

This Etruscan guttus - a vessel used to store and pour liquids in small amounts, or to refill oil lamps - is shaped like an elephant. It may have been inspired by the elephants first seen in Italy during the invasions of Pyrrhus and of Hannibal of Carthage in the 3rd c. BCE. 🏺 300-200 BCE.

So we actually had some snow - not much, mind you, and a few days later it was more or less gone. But for a brief moment it was there. #winter

Finding out what the American version of ‘gingerbread flavour’ tastes like is to stare into the vast, unbridgeable cultural void that sunders our continents

you know who's got some good book titles? The Council for the Care of Churches. "It won't happen to us: a guide to church insurance" "Sounds good! a guide to church organs" "Widening the eye of the needle: a guide to church access" "how not to do it: installing electricity in your church (1940)"

How do you raise a glass to friendship in the 17th century? 🍷 Large glasses like this one were passed from hand to hand during a toast. The Latin inscription roughly means: 'This is how I treat my friends.' In other words: those I drink with, I hold dear. 👁️ https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/200386680

Embroidered Japanese silk was fashioned into a tea gown in the late #1870s, the addition of blue silk panels shaping it into the bustle style silhouette. The exquisite-ness of the stitch means that I would take absolutely no refreshments whilst wearing. Sold via #coraginsburg #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
