Prehistoric Axehead and Macehead Selection, The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

A detail of the boots of Mars, carved in very fine stone and will a level of detail that’s simply amazing.

This level of craftsmanship simply boggles my mind.

Found in India, 5000 years old, made from a single rock 🪨 #indiaarchitecture #indiatravel #travelindia #architecturephotography #stonecarving #spectacular_works (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOF1aMpFAfNJ2B7YakGcHUzr-0BG2nB97Dot40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Before and after pitfiring these ceramic pendants! [These are sold.] First pic is after firing and after I filled in the figure with some extra red paint. Second pic is before firing. Third pic is after firing (and not filled in with paint yet). This figure is based on a stonecarving/petroglyph I saw in Näsåker, Sweden. Mysterious figure and a moose! What do you think is going on there, what does it depict?

Pelican. Portuguese pink marble. Hand carved.

Seated God Probably Ptolemaic Period | 285-246 B.C. | Granite From Behbeit el Hagar In this relief, Osiris 𓁹𓊨 “wsir”, crowned with two plumes 𓆄𓅱𓏏𓆃 “šw.t”, is seated 𓈞𓊃𓀉 “ẖs” and followed by another seated divinity, possibly Isis 𓊨𓏏𓆇 “3s.t” whose scepter is visible. The block comes from the uppermost level of a wall 𓇋𓆛𓈖𓃀𓊊 “ı͗nb” where a series of seated gods 𓊹𓊹𓊹 “nṯrw” was represented. There is good reason to think this relief was carved during the reign of Ptolemy II (𓊪𓏏𓍯𓃭𓇌𓋴) “ptwlmys”‘Philadelphus’, the king 𓇓𓏏𓈖 “nsw” who completed the relief decoration of most of the temple 𓉞𓏏𓉐 “ḥw.t” proper. Despite the fact that their reigns are separated by sixty 𓎋 years 𓆳𓊪𓏏𓏤 “rnp.t”, the earliest Ptolemies chose to closely embrace the style of their predecessors of Dynasty 30. Only small details, such as the more relaxed smile and the exaggerated rounded pectoral muscle, seem to differentiate this block stylistically from the earlier block across the gallery. 𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬 📸 @egyptologylessons 𓋹𓊽𓋴𓆖𓎛𓇳𓎛 © (@metmuseum and description) 𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁 #Ancientegypt #ägypten #egyptianhistory #egyptology #hieroglyphs #egypte #egitto #埃及 #مصر #egipto #이집트 #relief #metropolitanmuseumofart #stonecarving (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeZNfMEO9Ml/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
