#MosaicMonday with this one of a Panther and other Dionysiac symbols on display in Herculaneum's on-site musem.

The museum panel doesn'tsay where it's from, or specify each symbo, though I can definitely see the thyrsus.

Katherine was one of twelve children although not all of her siblings survived childhood. Her sister Isabella was Queen of England after marrying Richard II at the age of six. Her brother Charles VII would be King of France. 2/2

For #31DaysOfGraves day 26: figure. The first day after clock change and the first proper chilly weekend here in Scotland, so here's a frosty figure from Cathcart Cemetery here in Glasgow.
A frosty gravestone in low winter light. A woman in flowing robes reaches up towards some flowers that are carved above her head.

What was a bear worth in Elizabethan England? Well, thanks to a deed held at The National Archives [TNA C 146/8581], we at least know a few specifics, like Nan, the old she bear, valued at 30s in 1590. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/explore-the-...
List of animals held in the ‘Bear Garden’ in Elizabethan Southwark
This deed reveals some of the animals kept to perform on the Tudor stage or in arenas, and how they were valued. It includes an ‘old she bear called Nan’, several bulls, a horse and an ape.

Some things never change!

4,000 year-old ancient Egyptian writing board with a student’s many spelling mistakes corrected in red ink by the teacher! 😂

📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

#Archaeology
Met museum photo of an ancient Egyptian rectangular wooden white-washed writing board with an exercise written in black hieratic script. It was written by a student named Iny-su whose spelling mistakes are corrected in red ink by the teacher. Hieratic script is an ancient Egyptian cursive version of hieroglyphics. The board measures 19 cm long x 43 cm wide and has a horizontal crack half way down the left-hand side. The wooden board was painted with white gesso, which now appears cream-coloured. This allowed boards to be whitewashed for use over and again. The exercise is a practice in formal letter writing. The student Iny-su addresses the letter (presumably jokingly) to his brother Peh-ny-su, treating him like a wealthy authority figure. Wood, gesso, paint pigment. Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, c. 1981–1802 BC.
