The Amazonian queen Penthesilea is one of Mary Beard’s top five powerful women in ancient Greece and Rome She is shown on this storage jar, wearing a leopard skin and a crested helmet, captured just at the moment she is killed by the mythical hero Achilles. The Amazons were a wild race of warrior women, and women only, who were believed by the Greeks to live somewhere on the northern borders of the Greek world. They were entirely mythical, but were still capable of striking fear into the hearts of Greek men, always representing a potentially deadly threat to male civilisation. This 6th-century BC pot shows Achilles plunging his spear into Penthesilea’s throat, a stream of blood gushing from the wound. According to myth, at the moment Penthesilea died, she and Achilles fell in love. Storage jar showing Achilles killing the Amazon queen, Penthesilea. Attica (Greece), c. 530 BC.

The scene of Penthesilea revealing her face to Achilles in their life or death confrontation reminds me of a gender reversed version of the scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens where Kylo Ren unmasks before the captive Rey.

So in my most recent playthrough of The Quarry, I noticed something in the freezer.

Why is there a random ass half-eaten jar of pickles, in the fucking freezer? Like, a fridge makes sense, but a freezer? Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that's weird.

Tsujimura Shiro Large storage jar

Oviform, the whitish stoneware body tapering towards the irregularly shaped foot, with dripped natural ash green glazes, fitted wood storage box (tomobako), signed Shiro, sealed Shi, inscribed Shizen yu otsubo (Large jar with natural ash glaze). 62 cm., 24½ in. high (the jar). 53 x 52 x 52 cm., 20⅞ x 20½ x 20½ in. (the fitted wood storage box).

A highly regarded giant of contemporary Japanese pottery, Tsujimura Shiro established himself as a ceramicist with a deep understanding of traditional forms that are both reverent and unique. Internationally recognised, Tsujimura was entirely self-taught, identifying the aesthetics of tea ceremony ceramics as his guide. His profound works are strongly inspired by the ceramic expressions codified in the Momoyama period (1568-1600), as well as the medieval works produced from the Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyo), but his repertoire is wide ranging extending to revival Joseon Korean wares.

 Jar, 4400BC-3800BC, Egypt.
