Found in the churchyard of St Paul’s cathedral in London in 1852, this runestone reads ‘Ginna and
Toki had this stone set up’. It shows a creature with its front paws
entangled with a snake. It was probably raised in the early 11th
century, when Danish king Cnut ruled England. #medievalsky #london

#FrescoFriday - One of the stunning female portrait medallions from the House of Leda, Pompeii (V.6.12).

This fresco is delicately coloured with a range of blue tones in the background which are enhanced by the fact that Hermaphrodite wears a blue gown that is loosely draped over their left arm and lower body. Hermaphrodite is depicted as pale while Pan is depicted as deep brown with goat legs and horns.

🏛️ Pan and Hermaphrodite 🏛️

Pan and Hermaphrodite take centre stage this #FrescoFriday. Found in the House of the Dioscuri at Pompeii, Pan tries to turn away from Hermaphrodite while Hermaphrodite tries to hold Pan closer…

Thanks a lot!♥️

Ancient sculptures turned into fridge magnets!

A bunch of fridge magnets are ready to be shipped! I haven't shown the polished gold version yet, so here they are! 💛

The gold doesn't photograph well. In real life, it is very reflective. ✨

Yes, the link to my shop is in the bio. I offer those as singles or as a set.

Thank you!
I might make Greek and Latin as options, but from my experience, sadly, English will still be preferred by most of my audience.

I love Latin, and for fans of classical languages, I have a series of magnets with Latin phrases planned!

Fridge magnet with goddess Athena.

First test piece for the new series of fridge magnets- Gods of ancient Greece and Rome!

I might change the font and add texture to the base and meander, but overall, I am happy with it!

Hope you like it!
