this week in lecture we took a close look at the remarkable statue of Rameses II in the Turin museum. The museum photos are really impressive - and free to use! I'm really grateful. It so much easier to teach ancient art when there are good photos available. #egyptology #ancientbluesky

The Penn Museum posted part of their collection on Google Arts & Culture, allowing me to discover this delightful object: a silver cosmetic box with carved lid made of shell and lapis lazuli, from Ur (Mesopotamia), ca. 2450 BCE. #AncientBlueSky
