striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.
Stunning portrait of The Morsel by my boyfriend.
Terracotta statuette of a dog with upright, pricked ears and a fluffy upright tail. He has an oval object - supposedly meat - in his mouth, painted red. Black pigment can still be seen on his ears and the tip of his tail, in addition to some traces of red on his coat.
Every dog owner: ‘What’s that in your mouth?? Omigod, drop it, drop it!’ 😱
This Greek (Boeotian) terracotta dog appears to have a red piece of, um, meat in its mouth. I’m sure he earned it (‘Hey, that dead guy over there wasn’t using this.’)

The photo shows an intricately designed glass figurine in the shape of a stylized fish. The fish is made of transparent, slightly yellow-tinted glass and features numerous decorative details. Its body is adorned with curved elements, including a blue wavy line above a black, round eye. The fins and tail are elaborately shaped, with the tail appearing broad. In the background, another glass figurine resembling an animal is visible. The image has taken in a exhibition setting.
Fascinating world of ancient #glass: This #Roman flask in the form of a fish was found in Cologne, 3rd c. AD. 🐠🐟
We don't know what is was used for, maybe the shape relates to the content (fish sauce), maybe it was used to hold oil.

Jellyfish swimming in a dark blue aquarium.
I have no interest in meeting jellyfish in the flesh (so to speak), but they are fascinating to watch.
At the Sunshine Aquarium, Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

It’s okay to notice them. But we don’t have to keep them. Happy Caturday 🐈⬛🤍

Learning ancient languages is fun. It’s always like: “We don’t know what the second person plural pronoun was, but here are 50 words for “kill.””
Hoppas det kan vara till nån hjälp iaf!
Bronze figure of a goose with a dark patina, perhaps from a fountain. The neck section is removable and there is a pipe in the beak. The feathers are all delineated by engraving - it’s highly detailed. The webbed feet are missing. British Museum, London (1859,0601.1)
A true rarity, this bronze goose was discovered in the ruins of Constantinople’s famed luxurious hippodrome. It has a pipe in its beak, so it was probably part of a fountain, providing water to the 100,000 spectators who could fit into the circus stands. 🏺 1/

"Corcos not only portrays the young woman with great naturalness and adherence to reality, but also makes her assume a very unusual pose, which denotes confidence with the painter and which aims to strike the observer. The girl is sitting with extreme ease on a bench, on which she has placed her wide-brimmed straw hat, three books and her walking umbrella. Resting her head on her hand, she looks straight into the observer's eyes, with confidence. Her legs are crossed, in a position that, at the time, was not considered decorous." https://www.finestresullarte.info/operadelgiorno/2017/644-vittorio-corcos-sogni.php
Vittorio Matteo Corcos, Sogni (Dreams), 1896 (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome). A portrait of Elena Vecchi, daughter of the writer Augusto Vecchi, a friend of the artist. A sensation at the time for candid and direct portrayal of a modern, independent young woman. #arthistory #ottocento
