Glorfindel of Imladris ☀️ LOTR fanart, as a treat, and because I've been meaning to draw this golden elf for a looooong time!
Illustration by Eleonor Piteira of Glorfindel, a character from The Lord of The Rings. A male golden haired elf with gold armour and a long dark blue cape behind him floating in the wind, sits on top of a white horse. Framing his head is a stylised sun with rays, the symbol of the House of the Golden Flower. The elf and the horse are framed within a gold circle adorned with plant-like ornaments which include celandine flowers.

The site of Athribis/Upper Egypt has revealed more than 43,000 ostraca (pot sherds used for writing and drawings), offering remarkable insights into a thousand years of daily life in Egypt. My favourite: a drawing of a shrew, the sacred animal of the god Haroeris. uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...

Wow, this 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box still contains original pigments! Looks similar to a modern-day set! An inscription tells us it belonged to Amenemope, Vizier during the reign of Amenhotep II. 📷 Cleveland Museum of Art www.clevelandart.org/art/1914.680 #Archaeology
Cleveland Museum photo showing an ancient Egyptian paint box carved from boxwood with five oval wells containing original paint pigments. From top to bottom the preserved cake pigments are red (red ochre), blue (Egyptian blue), green (a mixture of Egyptian blue, yellow ochre, and orpiment) and two of black (carbon black, from charcoal). Dimensions  2.2 cm x 21 cm x 3.6 cm. 

On the front of the box there’s an inscription inlaid in Egyptian blue with the name Amenemope who was Vizier during the reign of Amenhotep II, Dynasty 18. It translates as ‘The overseer of the city and vizier Amenemope. Master of secrets of the west bank [of Thebes]’. A red inscription on the back reads ‘Amen-Ra, Lord of the Thrones of the Two Lands’. Dated c. 1427-1401 BC.

Two little quail chicks carved on a limestone plaque over 2,000 years ago. Look closely to see a third chick sketched in ink! From Egypt, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 400–30 BC. 📷 Met Museum www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology
The photo shows a limestone plaque with two carved quail chicks and a sketch of a quail chick in black ink. It is displayed against a grey background. 

Traces of ink occur on both carved chicks suggesting the limestone plaque shows three stages of an ancient Egyptian artisan’s work; the ink sketch at top left, the finished chick at upper right, and the almost finished chick at bottom left. Limestone plaque dimensions: H. 15 x W. 13.8 x D. 0.9 cm
