Got distracted from a battle in Total War Warhammer 3 by an Orc stone circle. Stones haven't been dressed (other than the Orc skull carvings), but I like how the glyphs at head-height remind me of the bronze age axeheads and daggers carved into stones at Stonehenge.
A stone circle constructed from rough stones, some worked or painted with orc glyphs and orc skull iconography. A central stone is also decorated with horns/tusks. There's a tusked skull lying to the left, and an orc banner to the right.A stone circle constructed from rough stones, some worked or painted with orc glyphs and orc skull iconography.

Mušḫuššu monday once again
Drawings of the mušḫuššu (a VERY CUTE dragonlike creature from Mesopotamia with a snake head, horns, the body of a lion, and taloned hind legs).
1) It has a reptile face so it looks very goofy from the front.
2) The winged woman from the Burney Relief/Queen of the Night giving it a biiiig hug.
3) Comparison of the mušḫuššus from the Ishtar Gate, a kudurru fragment, the Statue of Marduk, and the Libation Vase of Gudea. (I accidentally arranged them like Gorillaz)

A miniature masterpiece from 40,000 years ago! 🦣 🤩 This tiny carved mammoth figurine measures a mere 3.7 cm in length, yet the #IceAge artist captured naturalistic detail with aesthetic perfection! Mammoth ivory. Vogelherd Cave, Germany 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a tiny mammoth figurine carved from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago, dated to the Aurignacian culture. It is one of the oldest known works of portable art. It is viewed in profile with head to left, mounted on a thin dark metal display stand against a dark background. Although the figurine only measures 3.7 cm in length the artist suceeded in capturing naturalistic details combined with an aesthetic eye to create a tiny object which encapsulates the characteristic form, power, and beauty of the animal. The ivory is weathered, now a mottled yellowish-greyish-brown colour. The mammoth’s head is rounded with a long, slightly inward curved trunk. At the back of the head, the upper back rises into a distinctive rounded shoulder hump giving it a characteristic woolly mammoth form. The line of the lower back and rump slope downwards to a short pointed tail. The body is large with thick rounded forelegs, and slightly shorter, thick hind legs, giving it a massive and powerful appearance. It was found in 2006 in the spoil heap from the earlier 1931 excavations at the Vogelherd Cave in the Lone Valley in Germany’s Swabian Jura. The Ice Age caves of the Swabian Jura are a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Fabulous Ice Age spear thrower handle carved in the form of an animal. Known as the ‘Creeping Hyena’ it was carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The shaft is missing, but the hook to propel the spear is still visible. From La Madeleine rock shelter, France. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows an Upper Paleolithic spear-thrower (also known as an atlatl) carved in the form of a crouching animal, viewed in profile with head to left. Its head and neck are extended forward, low to the ground, and its legs are tucked beneath its body. It has a long downward curved tail, the pointed lower end of which ends beneath the body at lower right, forming the hook against which the tail end of the spear rests. The shaft of the spear thrower is missing. The ivory is a warm beige colour and is cracked with age in places. The sculpture is mounted on a thin metal support in a museum display case. It was found in La Madeleine rock shelter, Tursac, Dordogne, France. I saw this spear thrower on display at the Pompidou Centre, on loan from the National Prehistory Museum in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows:

Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles. Each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines.

Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet!

Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins

Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines.

Bottom right: A central band delineated with white lines contains white 's'-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background.

This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.
