Michelangelo's study for the Libyan Sibyl, and finished figure on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Love how much attention he devoted to her toes! Today is his day.
official museum photo of the object, quarter turn profile small painted papier mâché figure of a chonky white / black / red dog with a bamboo basket on its head “They are used as lucky charms to pray for safe childbirth and the healthy growth of children. Safe Childbirth: Because dogs give birth relatively easily and have multiple puppies, they symbolize fertility and easy labor. Protection: They act as "guardian dogs" to ward off evil spirits and are believed to take on any physical misfortunes in place of the child. The "Basket-Wearing" Dog (Zaru-kaburi Inu) is a play on words: the kanji for "bamboo" placed over "dog" resembles the kanji for "to laugh", symbolizing a home filled with laughter and health (as the basket also helps "drain" away sickness).” (info via tokyo.yokai.tales)
