Book Cover of the Day:
Les chauves-souris, clairs-obscurs, Robert Montesquiou-Fézensac, 1892. The cover features a repeating pattern of dark bats and small stars on a light, textured background. This central design is framed by a decorative border of intertwining vines with leaves and purple flowers.

#Archaeology
My photos show two gold bracelets, each formed by two semi-circles connected by a hinge and a clip. They have rich granulated ornamentation in a series of geometric patterns. The upper part is decorated with relief heads of two ducks with necks bent forwards and resting on a single body created with lapis lazuli. The tail is decorated with small granules of gold. The cartouches of Ramesses II are engraved next to the fastener (not seen). Max diameter 7.2 cm. Dated Nineteenth Dynasty, Reign of Ramesses II, 1279-1212 BC. Discovered in 1906 with a hoard of jewels and gold and silver plate at Tell Basta (Bubastis) during railway construction works. On display at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo.

Before they could see the planets as anything other than little dots of light in the night sky, how did people imagine them?

More often than not, medieval Europeans turned the planets into neat little guys. 🧵🗃️

Take a peek! 👀

This week, we’re joined by talented young photographer Jamie Smart, also known as ‘Eagle Eyed Girl’, over on our Instagram feed.

From rutting deer to diving gannets, this award-winning photographer certainly knows how to capture the character of UK nature. 💙

Overgrown gothic.
Found in the ruins of a temple to a long-forgotten god, the blade seems to be made from the same stone as the building. This stone holds an edge unlike anything I’ve seen, and the blade is still sharp. #HumanArtist

Une incroyable étude révèle l’existence d’un réseau d’espionnes à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Au XVe siècle, en pleine révolte flamande contre Maximilien d'Autriche, des femmes franchissaient les lignes ennemies pour des missions secrètes. Enquête sur ces femmes de l'ombre. 🧵

a scratchboard artwork on the lower portion of the image, we can see the tiled rooftops of medieval houses - in the bottom left corner, a little character wearing a black coat and a floppy little hat is sitting on top of a roof far in distance, a huge castle rises above the scene, four towers on the very top of the castle seem to be supporting a giant, gleaming obelisk behind the castle, in the sky, a giant winged creature comprised of round turrets and rotundas emerges from the clouds

Mike (c. 1908[1] – January 1929) was a cat who guarded the gates of the British Museum and was so famed that Time magazine devoted two articles to him on his death Mike spent twenty years at the British Museum during which time he gained a certain notoriety for his misogynistic and cynophobic tendencies, resisting all fraternisation with women and expressing a dislike for dogs. Mike would only accept food from those "who treated him as a man and brother".[citation needed]
