Next Artefacts in Focus article is in production, looking at this rather beautiful wooden rearing cobra in the collection at Bolton Museum. Did I think it would be straightforward? Yes. Did my ADHD brain then find a massive rabbit hole to fall down? Also yes 😐 Anyway, coming soon ...
An ancient Egyptian rearing cobra with a sundisk on its head. It's made of wood, with fragments of gilding remaining around the good and on the sundisk. It's photographed in quarter profile, which highlights the curve in the body and details on the face.

As we run headlong into the autumn here in the northern hemisphere, this is your reminder that you don't need 'good' weather to get good photos. The colder months can bring fog, cloud, or low, raking light, which can add an amazing atmosphere to your photos. #Photography

Happy Kalends of #October! 🍂 From the Latin octo, “eight” — October was the 8th month in the earliest Roman calendar. Even after the calendar expanded to 12 months, it kept its name & its 31 days. October marked the close of the military & farming seasons & was under the protection of Mars. ⚔️🌾
