A statue of a kissing couple on the waterfront in Olympia. Richard Beyer is the sculptor. It's a sunny day with blue skies and calm waters.

Here's one, Margot.

Olympia's most well known statue: The Kiss.

On the waterfront at the most southern tip of Puget Sound.

I need to take some better photos of the statue. Then, maybe a 🧵

I love statues. we should do a #StatueSaturday 🫶

It's #StatueSaturday. One of two bronze statues of Artemis found in 1959 in Piraeus, together with an Archaising Apollo and the famous Piraeus Athena. Isn't she wonderful? Hellenistic. Probably buried to for safe keeping to protect them from Roman plundering in 1st Ce BC and never retrieved.

I'll try a new one. #StatueSaturday. Bronze Dionysus, found in Rome in 1895. Dated to the 2nd C AD. Now in Palazzo Massimo museum. From the waist up to get past the Bluesky censors! I find it a haunting piece even if it is little bit kitsch.

It's #StatueSaturday. Young Dionysus, bronze, 2nd C AD, found in Rome in 1885. Now in the Palazzo Massimo museum.

#StatueSaturday - Eurydike II, mother of Philip II of Macedon, grandmother of Alexander the Great. Found at Vergina, 4th C BC. She looks as formidable as you'd expect. (And I found a cool new feature on my phone - hold on a statue and it cuts it from the background!)

#StatueSaturday. Is that a thing? Well it should be. Beautiful female statue of a woman in the Sparta museum. I assume late Hellenistic/early imperial, probably a votive portrait from a sanctuary. Found locally in the late 19th century. Find spot, context, subject all unknown. An alluring mystery.

For #StatueSaturday Pocahontas in St George’s church, Gravesend.
