My photo shows the monochrome mosaic floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. Black tessarae (mosaic tiles) are used to depict the sea god Triton, who is holding a club over his left shoulder and a small fish in his right hand. He is surrounded by a cherub, dolphins, octopus, and a squid. Set against a white tile background.
Here’s a fuller view of the mosaic floor in the women’s changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. The monochrome floor mosaic depicts a marine scene featuring the spectacular octopus together with the sea god Triton, a cherub, dolphins, and a squid.
Спасибо!
Чтобы, будучи в рабочих ботинках со стальными колпаками в носах, просто споткнувшись на хвалёной тротуарной плитке, сломать мизинец (!) на ноге, надо быть, конечно, исключительно талантливым человеком.
И, да, я таков.
Ein Klippschliefer hockt am Eingang einer Höhle und schaut den Betrachter mit seinen großen Knopfaugen direkt an. Er hat etwa den rundlichen Körperbau eines Murmeltieres, runde kleine Öhrchen und Pfötchen mit abgerundeten stumpfen Nägeln. Die kleinen Elefanten-Stoßzähne, die ich dazu erfunden habe, sind natürlich übertrieben. In Wahrheit besitzt der Klippschliefer aber tatsächlich stark verlängerte Eckzähne.

Man sieht nur wenigen Klippschliefern ihre Verwandtschaft mit dem Elefanten an. Manche Wissenschaftler halten sie auch für verwandt mit dem Wolpertinger.

My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.

An illustration of an owl with head slightly tilted and crescent moon above. Poem text reads "かたむいた月のふくろうとして" I am unsure of an appropriate translation.
'Owl and Crescent Moon' - Kozaki Kan, ca. 1990s.

a collection of owls arranged in yin and yang formation, i.e. one with head turned to the right, with one eye showing, the 2nd owl in the circle upside down and facing towards the first owl, also one eye showing prominantly. There are also some stylized blossom with five petals. Linedrawing, black and white, Maria Strutz
Owl Yin Yang for #OwlishMonday 🤍🌀🖤
Art. Black and white ink pen drawing made of abstract shapes and lines that looks a bit like an eye with tentacles or legs coming from it. That’s disquieting, but it also has long and luxurious lashes. Maybe it’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.
A drawing from today. An eye-spider, perhaps?
Terracotta statuette of a dog with upright, pricked ears and a fluffy upright tail. He has an oval object - supposedly meat - in his mouth, painted red. Black pigment can still be seen on his ears and the tip of his tail, in addition to some traces of red on his coat.
Every dog owner: ‘What’s that in your mouth?? Omigod, drop it, drop it!’ 😱
This Greek (Boeotian) terracotta dog appears to have a red piece of, um, meat in its mouth. I’m sure he earned it (‘Hey, that dead guy over there wasn’t using this.’)
1st half of the 5th c. BCE. #MetMuseum 📸 me 🏺
The photo shows an intricately designed glass figurine in the shape of a stylized fish. The fish is made of transparent, slightly yellow-tinted glass and features numerous decorative details. Its body is adorned with curved elements, including a blue wavy line above a black, round eye. The fins and tail are elaborately shaped, with the tail appearing broad. In the background, another glass figurine resembling an animal is visible. The image has taken in a exhibition setting.
Fascinating world of ancient #glass: This #Roman flask in the form of a fish was found in Cologne, 3rd c. AD. 🐠🐟
We don't know what is was used for, maybe the shape relates to the content (fish sauce), maybe it was used to hold oil.

2,400 years ago, this terracotta plate with models of food was placed in a tomb to provide sustenance for the deceased in the afterlife ~ pomegranates, grapes, figs, nuts, cheeses, and breads (Paestum, southern Italy) www.reddit.com/r/Sarcophagu....
This mosaic of a dog wearing a collar and leash and looking ready to play rather than fight is now held at the MAN Napoli.

Monday off to a rough start? We’d be barking mad not to suggest you take a moment to enjoy this top doggo from Pompeii who was doing their best to keep the entry safe.

A Roman mosaic depicting an owl with wide eyes, brown and red body, and blue feet, set against a cream-colored background with a black geometric border. The owl looks a bit deranged.
Just another Monday…

A beige pottery with two handles and a narrow neck, decorated with intricate dark brown patterns depicting a stylized octopus. The vessel is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting.
We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC.
On display at National Museum Copenhagen.
A lovely weekend to all of you!

Ощущение себя стариком хорошо описано у Олеши.
И "Мир без меня", да.
