This #Etruscan bust is a fragment of a statuette depicting the god Hermes (Turms) or the hero Perseus (Ferse), identified by the remains of wings emerging from either side of his head. Beautiful pouty lower lip, and inlaid silver eyes. 150-50 BCE. #BritishMuseum 📸 me

Vibrant colour projected onto a 2,600 year-old wall panel offers a glimpse of the past lived in glorious technicolour! From the North Palace at Nineveh (present day Iraq), where the walls were decorated with brightly painted reliefs. 🎥 by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

I’m actually not sure it’s worth my posting her on Xwitter any more. Not only due to the concerns about supporting this platform, but also because my posts now get abysmally low impressions and interactions. It seems like a waste of time. Sad.

#sarcophagusSaturday brings us back to #PalazzoMattei di #Giove in #Rome, where a wonderful collection of #sarcophagus fronts decorates the two androni or entrance corridor. Here we have the deceased as a sort of #Apollo with the #Muses. But who's the extra one?

Oddity alert! Appearing in the traditional Mistress of Animals pose (with a fierce split chiton), and holding a bird in each hand, this winged female possesses the head of a Gorgon. Look closely and you’ll see she also has tattoos. Greek, from Kos, 600 BCE. 📸 me #BritishMuseum
