This sheela na gig is on display in the Ulster Museum. It is thought to have originally belonged to the church of Errigal Keerogue, Tyrone.
A stone carving known as a sheela na gig. It is classed as a female exhibitionist figure. It has a pained expression with gritted teeth and round staring eyes, and pendulous breasts. The right arm extends forward over the vulva; and the left backwards and under the leg.

#Scape #ForestFriday #ClassicMono #ColorADay #BWFri Today's hike up Cerro San Luis mountain with fog in the valleys. #ECK #Hiking #Weather #Photography #LandscapePhotography #WestCoastKin
Black and white image of a mountain slope going from lower left to upper right. There is fog that blankets the lower elevations, so it is pure white. The fog starts to thin on the mountain slope revealing some oak trees and vegetation. The trail is visible on the right side with low vegetation on each side. The foreground has some rocks that the sun is hitting directly, creating a strong contrast in their formation. In the absolute foreground are silhouettes of dry weeds that look like separated pompoms on a stem. In the distance, black mountains poke just above the fog with a few wispy clouds in an otherwise clear sky. 'M' Trail on Cerro San Luis in San Luis Obispo, California.

Smile, it’s Friday! 😃 Meet ‘The Oldest Smile in the World’ a tiny face that’s been smiling for some 7,400 years! Carved from oak during the Mesolithic, this small human figure was found in 1966 in a layer of peat during dock construction at Willemstad in the Netherlands. #FindsFriday #Archaeology
My photo shows a human figure roughly carved from dark brown oak wood during the Mesolithic period about 5,400-5,300 BC. It is 12.5 cm tall with a long body with two finger-shaped indents on the right hand side (left in my photo), suggesting it was made to be held in the hand. The stylized head has deeply carved eyes, nose, and open mouth. The triangular shape of the mouth makes it look as if the figure is smiling, leading to its description as ‘The oldest smile in the world’. It is displayed against a black display case background at Landesmuseum Halle in Germany where the figure is currently on loan for the ‘Shamaness’ exhibition. It is part of the permanent collections of Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, Netherlands. It was found in a layer of peat in 1966 during the construction of a dock at Willemstad, North Brabant, Netherlands.
