In the detailed shot of the brooch I can see that it looks very well made and quite intricate, but I must admit, I can’t see any resemblance to the stone carvings, I must be as blind as the curators 😉
That brooch, is wonderfully crafted. Much at variance with the history books we had at school where the Picts, were shown as a bunch of half naked savages in bearskins, fighting the Romans.
You touch on something I touch on in my post this week. The museum in Modena was very much a traditional museum, with displays in chronological order, with everything simply displayed. Our Museum in Reggio called in an "Archistar", to "update" the museum, to make it more "accessible", I presume. The exhibits are just now props to gratify the architects artistic vision, similarly without any logical chronological order. Rant over.
No riders
Due to inclement weather there are no takers...
Oh, love that scene, so peaceful with beautiful colours and atmosphere.
A little macabre site and snow definitely adds to the atmosphere.
Those terracotta figures are life like indeed.
Like those 2 rooms for their architectural aspects, the cellings, windows, arches and the light.Superb craftsman and his art. The colours are very real.
Beautiful colours and scene.
Very intricate design and work. Incredible.
Nice. The dark water & trees and that line of black bikes are contrasting nicely with the white snow in the image.
They'll have to wait patiently until the first warm spring days come around and the people start to feel the urge to ride again :-)
Looking at the bottom half of the stone; The double crescent has identical geometry with the double crescent of the brooch. The 'pin' in the carving is the other way round as displayed on the brooch, but I think it's a separate piece, so could well have been the other way up in use. There were several other stones and brooches, all with differing ornamentation but similar geometry.
The inky waters are a great contrast with the snow, and the bikes have a nice rythm.
I really like the patters in this shot. Nice one.
Nice image, it reminded me of this image a little bit.
It is an interesting project.
These terracotta figures look as if they are about to start walking and talking.
Really, whats that?
