#TerracottaTuesday Medusa has death in her eyes. She could cast her spell and turn you to stone from both sides of large askos from a 3-2 C BC tomb in Cannae, Puglia. Fine modelling, and the polychrome - especially red lips - would have added to a startling impression. 🏺 #Archaeology Canne Museum

A large terracotta jug (askos) with a spout, and faces of Medusa with wide glaring eyes on either side. traces of polychrome designs are evident on the body of the jug, and also on the face, particularly on red lips.
The citadel of Canne where this was excavated apparently overlooks the site of the 216 BC battle featuring Hannibal, between Romans and Carthiginians. Archaeological evidence hasn't yet confirmed this....

Side view of jug showing faces either side, and a polychrome design with long streaks and curves painted in red, pink, white and blue.

My parents made this bird sculpture from various bits of wood and old metal they found in their shed and made a perch for it on the sawn-off trunk of a dead tree, and it makes for some great folk horror winter sunset photos.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass! #Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at Rovasenda, Italy, is...🧵1/2 🏺

Sometimes you see an artefact where myth, magic & reality all seem to converge… Behold, the Iron Age Torrs Pony Cap; pulled from a Scottish bog in the 19thC & dating to the 3rdC BC, the horns were still attached when found. Chariot ponies knew they were cool. National Museum Scotland #FindsFriday

Fortunate to live among several old orchards that sell real apples from long-established trees. Baking with MacIntosh now. First picking was Ida Red. I admit that sometime in the dead of winter I bought some Cosmics & the pies were respectable.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
