My Syrian friends fled Assad’s bombs in Syria and are now trying to survive this new nightmare in Lebanon, where over 820 people have been killed in recent weeks.

Normal life matters more than ever. They just want to send their kids to school, and you can help me help them.

Oooh we are posting super bowls?

Here is an example from the British Museum's collection of incantation bowls. These would be inscribed by magicians for a client who would place it upside down on the corners or at the entrance to a house to ward off evil spirits. 6th to 8th century. Mandaic. Iraq.

The Sacred Latte of Abu Serga

My contribution to the super bowls is this silver bowl from around 4th century BCE in Esik, Kazakhstan.

We don't know who made it, but the area was at this time inhabited by Sakas. It's curious for the writing on it, which is likely an Iranic language, but beyond that? No clue.

Oops: one self-correction! This super bowl probably has a transparent glaze over a stonepaste body, but that takes me on another tangent about stonepaste, another remarkable Islamic ceramics innovation invented to imitate Chinese porcelain www.metmuseum.org/essays/selju...

lol! I shall forevermore call it this

The Abbuna Bowl, if you will
