Wow! @madelinemiller.bsky.social has 2 books in Australia’s #top100books of the 21st century - as voted by #ABCRadioNational listeners. And we’re only up to number 45. The count will continue tomorrow.

Hi @moudhy.bsky.social I have a mystery object that nobody knows about. Seems to be very old. Maybe Assyrian? Can you help identify it? The statuette is about a hand high
A hand sized terracotta (?) statuette of a seated weird figure with long hair, prominent nose and beard. Looks like ritual markings around his neck like a collar.
