The mirror is photographed against a grey background
The mirror's handle is formed as a female statuette, while on the underside two winged Erotes hover overhead. Along the frame, a lively chase unfolds as a hound pursues a hare, and the composition culminates with an imposing siren figure crowning the top.

The mirror is photographer against a grey background. Full description of the mirror is in the next post in the thread.
A new year invites resolutions and self-discovery. Our #ImageOfTheMonth takes the mirror as a symbol of self-reflection, in which we can all look back on our accomplishments over the past year. Our example, a 5th-century Argive bronze mirror, is remarkable for its sculptural qualities /1

Uzma is seen with a colleague photographing accession cards in a light box.
This week’s #PeoplingBlog features the work of Uzma Z. Rizvi, whose project at MohenjoDaro in Pakistan highlights the ways in which archaeologists can engage in decolonial approaches in their use of legacy data through the framework of an archaeology of care:
peoplingthepast.com/2025/11/28/b... 🧵/1
With nearly two decades of work on decolonizing methodologies, intersectional and feminist strategies, and transdisciplinary approaches, her work has intentionally pushed disciplinary limits, and demanded ethical decolonial praxis at all levels of engagement, from teaching to research /end.
Headhot of Uzma
Uzma is Professor of Anthropology & Urban Studies at Pratt Institute, and a visiting scholar in the Department of Archaeology, Shah Abdul Latif University, Pakistan. Rizvi’s own work intentionally interweaves archaeology with cultural criticism, philosophy, critical theory, art, and design. /2
