  2. Ivory seal with two bats.
    In China, personal seals (yin/zhang) have long served to authenticate letters, contracts, and artworks. By the late Qing and early Republican era, small hand-held seals were widely used by scholars, merchants, and collectors. The impression is engraved on the base—often a personal or studio name—while the sides and finial provided space for decorative, auspicious imagery.

  3. L’Empereur romain Hadrien (117-138) regardant les fesses de son favori et amant Antinoüs (Aντίνοoς, Antinoos). La photo a été prise lors de d’une exposition, en 2018, consacrée à ce même Antinoüs à l’Ashmolean Museum d’Oxford.

  8. The #AshmoleanMuseum in Oxford has done the right thing and has started #repatriation of this sculpture. More of this.

  9. One of the items in the Ashmolean collection was a stuffed Dodo, the last ever dodo seen in Europe. However, by 1755 the stuffed dodo was so moth-eaten that it was destroyed, except for its head and one claw.

  14. As Britain’s industrial revolution gained pace, scientific breakthroughs allowed the Victorians to become increasingly revolutionary in their use of colour!

    The Ashmolean Museum's current major exhibition explores this explosion of colour, embraced by artists and designers. #AcademicHeritageDay2023

  15. At the Colour Revolution exhibition at the #AshmoleanMuseum this afternoon. Absolutely beautiful.

  17. I feel like this Knossos exhibit at the #AshmoleanMuseum missed two great merchandising opportunities 😄

    1. Puzzles of fresco fragments where you have to fill in the missing pieces with color pencil

    2. Replicas of seal stones
    (In fact, any museum selling replica seals will automatically become Best Museum in my book)

  18. @morethanadodo It's a beautiful place with an excellent cafe and not a stones throw from the #AshmoleanMuseum

  19. portrait of Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Siddal (herself an #artist) by #Rossetti, her husband, who she had a sometimes tempestuous relationship with, at the #AshmoleanMuseum
    #PreRaphaelites exhibition in #Oxford. Apparently when she died Rossetti put some poems he'd written in her grave, and then, when his friends suggested the poems were actually quite good, arranged to have them dug them again.

  20. Saw this beautiful #portrait, The Day Dream, by Dante Gabriel #Rossetti, today at the #AshmoleanMuseum #PreRaphaelites exhibition (Sunday is the last day.) The model was Jane Morris. Born Jane Burden, an #Oxford stableman's daughter, she met Rossetti and William Morris on the same night, at the theatre. Married William, but later became Rossetti's lover.
