A struck silver coin depicting #Antinous (d. AD 130). This one was made by Giovanni dai Cavino (1500-1570) in #Padua , inspired by an ancient model. A lovely day at the #FitzwilliamMuseum soaking up inspiration and ideas.

W wazonie pod liliami znajdują się mlecze. W Biblii mniszek lekarski kojarzy się z cierpieniem. Kwiat był jednym z „gorzkich ziół” tradycyjnie spożywanych z barankiem ofiarnym podczas żydowskiej Paschy.

Great day looking round all the brilliant museums Cambridge has to offer. A particular favourite being the Fitzwilliam Museum. This is a relief of an Assyrian Diety from 879 BC.

The Kiss Of Judas
A rare medieval painting depicting Judas’ betrayal of Christ may have survived destruction at the hands of 16th century iconoclasts after being ‘recycled’ to list the Ten Commandments instead. Rothschild Gallery, #FitzwilliamMuseum

The wonderful #FitzwilliamMuseum has a small copy in marble of the #DenderaZodiac done in 1819 copied off original material. Alas it is hung 90 degrees out from how the original was orientated in situ by the Ptolemaic temple priests.

In the space between Cygnus & Aquila, Hevelius (c. 1690) put his Fox & Goose constellation. So reminded of this when I see representation of fun-stuff in Egyptian sky. Motif first appeared 6th Dyn. From 11th Dyn temple of #Montuhotep 2nd, Deir el Bahri. #FitzwilliamMuseum E5.1906

I just love these historic railings outside the #FitzwilliamMuseum in Cambridge.
