A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️

A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm.

Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887.

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes it glow in places. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2 It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue ‘’Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished”. In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was ‘Słupcio’,

A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

The seasonal display of nature’s beauty at Poly Joke, Cornwall. When the poppies and rapeseed flower in unison, set against the blues of the ocean and sky. May your day be calm, my friends. 😊

A single raindrop held on the edge of a leaf, so delicate, so stubborn. Nature clings to its own poetry.

What symphony did you hear today? Was it the gentle hum of your computer, the distant chirping of a bird, or the rhythmic tapping of rain on a windowpane? Our world is filled with a soundtrack if we just listen. Take a moment and breathe.🎶 #DailyWonder #ListenClosely #Soundscape #MindfulMoments

What tiny, everyday wonder caught your eye today? Maybe it was the way sunlight hit a teacup, a squirrel's acrobatic leap, or the perfect blue of the sky. Take a moment to truly see it. There's magic in the mundane if you look close enough! ✨ #DailyWonder #CreativeLiving #Mindfulness

Roman scent bottles made of gold-band mosaic glass.

Beautiful examples of the skill of ancient glassmakers some 2,000 years ago!

My photo shows two Roman gold-band mosaic glass bottles on display at the Met Museum. Made of translucent cobalt blue, turquoise green, opaque white, and colorless glass encasing gold leaf. Both bottles have globular bodies and cyclindrical necks with horizontal everted rims. The larger bottle on the left measures 10.5cm in height and has a slightly concave bottom. The smaller bottle on the right measures 4.8cm in height and has a flat bottom. According to the museum label: “Gold-band cast glass was a particularly opulent type of early Roman glassware. It combines canes of brightly colored translucent and opaque glass with strips of gold leaf encased between layers of colorless glass. Only a limited number of vessel shapes were made in this way, and some of the most common are small globular or carinated bottles such as these. They were presumably used to store expensive cosmetics and perfumes”.

There’s almost nothing cooler than seeing a massive strangler fig in a primary rainforest. Strangler figs can be a number of species of Ficus; they germinate on other trees up in the canopy, then grow downward and eventually root. If the host tree dies, it leaves a hollow scaffolding like this. 🌿
A vertical photo, shot with the panorama function on a phone, of a tall, multi-trunk strangler fig tree in a tropical forest. A few people are on the ground at the base, and large-leafed plants are in the bottom foreground.

This is Jane Austen’s original manuscript for her first few chapters of Sanditon. I came across it at Harewood House at their lovely Austen and Turner exhibition. It was so small and moving because she would never finish her story. #austen ❤️ #dailywonder

My #allotment Rhubarb produced this beautiful and very impressive flower - sadly now on the compost heap (apparently it’s not great to keep it on the plant) but I thought it should have it’s moment in the spotlight:
