The earth goddess Dharaṇī, who bore witness to Gautama's enlightenment, wrings her wet hair to drown Māra's army, lintel relief from Ta Prohm, c. 1186. This iconographic type is thought to have been devised in mainland Southeast Asia (Zaleski 2020).
"I did not ask for this shade of red!" - A devatā at Wat Athvea
Wat Athvea, a temple of the 12th century oriented westwards like Angkor Wat and perhaps also dedicated to Viṣṇu:
Reliefs on a four-sided Vaiṣṇava (boundary?) stela from the Maṅgalārtha temple (late 13th century) including two Vānaras, Viṣṇu on Garuḍa and Aṣṭabhuja Viṣṇu. Presently at the Angkor National Museum.
Fascinating paper by Louise Quillien on Babylonian leather footwear in this open access volume including a type originating in the Zagros region (mešēnu ḫambanūtu). Reminds me of the Median footwear cited in Xenophon's Kyroupaideia (8.1.41): peeters-leuven.be/detail.php?sea…

@vicitracitta I think we are bucking the trend 😂
… I think the trend in both public history and academia is, first, moving away from ‘big picture’ stuff in favour of narrower focused events, and secondly, a desire to cling more closely to what is perceived to be ‘the consensus’. >
