One of the best examples of ancient #polychromy that I know of is this terracotta thymiaterion - incense burner - in the form of a group of colorfully dressed women sitting around a wellhead. The iconography reflects a local cult, perhaps of Demeter and Kore. 🏺 1/

Good evening. Got to the beach today. Lots of bushfire smoke here at the moment.
Storm just kicking off here, will hopefully put out the fires.

I think the snowfall in North Carolina is rather peaceful and we should just take a beat.

I finally have a nice LeGrand crinoid piece.
This Mississippian aged site in Iowa is famous for crinoids with preserved color. The darker crinoid is Rhodocrinites kirbyi and the lighter one is Platycrinites symmetricus.

They brought back the Cheronites in the new Star Trek, and this is one of the nerd things I’ll back up because 1) originally played by Frank Gorshin 2) they were from a TOS episode that was literally the Dr. Seuss story about star bellied sneeches

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

IC1848 - The Soul Nebula. I am officially blown away by the detail in my first real SHO image. This is just 30 mins on each filter. I can't wait to see the results when I get several hours on it.
ASI2600 MM, Esprit 100ED, Altair 3nm Ha, Sii and Oiii filters.
