Hello people of #ancientbluesky🏺
I am excited to share my paint jobs of ancient statues & cultural monuments.
Here is the Augustus of Prima Porta statue I printed and painted recently, on a plinth (yes, the crack is painted!)
More in ALT txt!🌿

✨ 15cm tall figure + c. 15cm plinth ✨ resin print painted with acrylic and oil paints I added a custom plinth with an inscription and lots of grime, patina, and weathering. I wanted it to look like a statue that had spent quite some time outdoors.

Found in the churchyard of St Paul’s cathedral in London in 1852, this runestone reads ‘Ginna and
Toki had this stone set up’. It shows a creature with its front paws
entangled with a snake. It was probably raised in the early 11th
century, when Danish king Cnut ruled England. #medievalsky #london

Happy Saturday everyone!

Here’s a charming little octopus from a Roman villa at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, 2nd-3rd century AD. 🐙❤️

My photo shows a fragment from a mosaic floor of a Roman villa in Spain depicting a stylised octopus using red, yellow, and black limestone tesserae. The front facing octopus has bulging eyes and eight writhing tentacles

#FrescoFriday - One of the stunning female portrait medallions from the House of Leda, Pompeii (V.6.12).

Perhaps a depiction of one of the Seasons, or - with what appears to be ivy wreathing the hair - a Maenad? #Pompeii #Archaeology 🏺

🏛️ Pan and Hermaphrodite 🏛️

Pan and Hermaphrodite take centre stage this #FrescoFriday. Found in the House of the Dioscuri at Pompeii, Pan tries to turn away from Hermaphrodite while Hermaphrodite tries to hold Pan closer…

🏛️ MAN Napoli, inv. 27700

#AncientBluesky🏺
This fresco is delicately coloured with a range of blue tones in the background which are enhanced by the fact that Hermaphrodite wears a blue gown that is loosely draped over their left arm and lower body. Hermaphrodite is depicted as pale while Pan is depicted as deep brown with goat legs and horns.

For #FindsFriday here's a fabulous bronze boar from the Lexden Tumulus burial near Colchester, Essex

Dated to the late Iron Age ~10BC, it may have belonged to King Addedomarus of the Trinovantes tribe!

Barberini Faun, second century BC. Fun fact: During the siege of Rome in 537, the defenders had hurled down statues upon the Goths, and this one could have been such a projectile.

A bunch of fridge magnets are ready to be shipped! I haven't shown the polished gold version yet, so here they are! 💛

The gold doesn't photograph well. In real life, it is very reflective. ✨

First test piece for the new series of fridge magnets- Gods of ancient Greece and Rome!

I might change the font and add texture to the base and meander, but overall, I am happy with it!

Hope you like it!
