My new notebook, which I bought at the Frist Museum Art Museum shop, has pandas holding trowels on the cover. Why trowels? I have no idea, but I'm not complaining.

Google suggested the second photo as a "related" image to this Roman gilded glass portrait. I can see it!
A round portrait of a young man, young woman, and older woman in Roman clothing with Greek text near the top of the frame. The portrait is painted on glass and gilded. A black and white photograph of Cher with similar hairstyle, facial features, and expression to the women on the Roman glass portrait.

It's creeping into my leisure reading! (I like to think we're not enemies, though?)
Screenshot from ebook that reads: "Nora's whole life is on her calen- dar. She's a busy woman. Nora is one of those genius kids who managed to live up to her potential and not burn out by the age of twelve. She's incred- ibly smart, and while I won't ever say it to her face, she's pretty damn badass in her quest to help countries and individual people reclaim stolen art- work and antiquities displayed in all the most prestigious museums of the world. Her expertise and first love is cultural property law, and it's a testa- ment to her skill that she has plenty of enemies in museum circles."
