The Lewis Chessmen

These 12th-century chess pieces are packed with personality, and have such charmingly expressive eyes! ♟️ 👀

From a large gaming hoard discovered on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831.

My photo collage shows a selection of bishop and warder chess pieces finely carved from creamish-coloured walrus ivory, dated c. 1150-1200 AD. Found in a large gaming hoard on the Isle of Lewis. On display at the British Museum. Photo top left: Two bishops and a warder. All standing. The bishops wear long garments, mitres, and hold a crozier with both hands. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and a conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces. He’s armed with a sword and kite-shaped shield inscribed with a lozenge shaped cross. Photo top right: A so-called ‘berserker’ warder chess piece. Standing, wearing a long garment and hood, armed with sword and a shield decorated with an interlaced saltire. The warder has large, wide-open eyes, and large upper teeth which bite the top of the shield. Height 8.2 cm. Photo bottom left: A standing warder and two seated bishops, one of which is partly obscured by the warder. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces, is armed with sword and shield. The seated bishops wear long garments, mitres, and each holds a crozier and book. Photo bottom right: A warder and a bishop, both standing.

Se abre la temporada de que mi vecina de arriba tenga lavadoras puesta desde las 19:00 hasta las 00:00. No puedo decirle nada pero mi hipersensibilidad a los sonidos me está volviendo loca.

El actual presidente de la comunidad debería haber convocado "elecciones" a principios de noviembre pero no lo ha hecho. Se ha vuelto a romper la manilla del portal, puedes salir pero no entrar salvo que alguien te abra por dentro. Este hombre cambió el seguro del edificio sin pasar por junta.

The dreamy barrel-vaulted choir ceiling @carlislecathedral.bsky.social. The structure is from circa 1400, but the heavenly painted decoration is from a 19th century restoration, repainted in 1970. #CeilingsOnSunday #Carlisle #Cumberland #Cathedrals

Hemos estado desde las 10 de la mañana sin poder trabajar porque el informático está instalando un parche en la base de datos. Terminó con mi ordenador y en teoría yo podía conectarme ya pero la base de datos ahora da 1000 problemas. Se viene, amics

#TheVictorianBookoftheDead With the holiday season coming up, let me tout one of my books on Victorian mourning: "Long-lost tales of the morbid, mournful, and macabre from the Victorian era." Available worldwide. Please ask your local bookstore or library to order it.

The Opening of the Sixth Seal. An extraordinary painted glass window by William Collins (1788-1847), c.1830. The apocalyptic chaos of crumbling rocks, terrified humanity fleeing divine judgment, all achieved through a virtuoso performance of glass-painting techniques. St Andrew's, Redbourne, Lincs.

It was lovely to see homage to the Hunterian Museum’s Evelyn Tables in @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. These four tables were made in Padua, taking arteries, veins and nerves dissected in Padua’s famous anatomical theatre, pasting them to boards and varnishing them to protect and preserve

The dagger’s handle is made of thick gold pieces over an iron core, and the scabbard fittings are solid gold. All the engraved surfaces are decorated with gems and colored glass. The style of the designs is very similar to early 1600s Mughal art.

Bit much?

#MosaicMonday
(Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna)
A ceiling mosaic, viewed from the ground. The central motif is of various biblical characters. However, the wider mosaic is highly decorated, with no shortage of gold, bright colours and complex and intricate patterns. The quality is very high and the general impression is quite overwhelming.
