The picture shows two dolls with movable shoulders, elbows, hips and knee joints. The legs of both dolls are partially broken off. One doll's arm is almost completely missing. The limbs and torso are very long, the breasts small. The faces are largely destroyed. The hair is combed back behind the ears, reaching down to the shoulders at the nape. The ivory, which is actually white, has turned brown over time.
Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/Slovenia.
The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen. 🧵1/2

Legendary New Zealand film and television producer John Barnett has died
He was a producer or executive producer on four of the New Zealand's 10 top grossing films.
This is really upsetting…John was one of a kind, a special man, who was great at standing up for what and who he believed in…a sad day for the NZ film and TV industry and all of us for that matter

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Just seen Farage and Truss (grifting over in the US) described as "the Slug and Lettuce".

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

We'll never get bored of watching Johan Cruyff trying to teach Hristo Stoichkov how to use a skipping rope 🤣
