An Egyptian scarab amulet was discovered in an Oretani tomb at the Necropolis of El Toro in central Spain. Made of faience and inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs and Demotic characters, it likely reached Iberia through Phoenician-Punic trade networks by the 6th century BC. Buried alongside local cremated remains and grave goods, the object shows how far Egyptian symbols and Mediterranean exchange reached long before Roman rule.

Gifts from Emperor #Puyi to his departing tutor Johnston reside in the SOAS library and archives. These include the emperor’s fan, now part of the Library’s Special Chinese Art Collection. The black fan features a landscape picture in gold and bears an inscription of the Imperial Seal of Xuantong (Puyi was the Xuantong Emperor). The fan was given as a farewell gift on 15th September 1930 when Johnston left China following the formal handover of Weihai back to Chinese sovereignty.

The development of ‘tie-on’ pockets during the 17th century was a defining moment for women, providing a highly practical and extremely popular detachable accessory for carrying their possessions, similar to the function of handbags today.
In polite society, formal situations, or when travelling, pockets would normally be invisible under a woman’s petticoats, but for working women, they might be more visible and immediately accessible, worn just under an apron.

18 seconds in front of the @SmithsonianNMNH’s #mollusk collections
From snails the size of a grain of sand to the giant squid, the phylum Mollusca can be found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet.
Did you know that 16 American states have official state shells representing a variety of marine mollusks?
The exhibition features 600 specimens and cultural items representing all 50 states, D.C., and the five U.S. territories.

These New Zealand kākāpō chicks the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital vet team are hand-rearing are growing so fast.
They're in the process of learning how to eat leaves and berries and exploring bigger spaces. It is essential that they learn how to forage and eat leaves and berries so that they thrive once weaned and released back into the wild. Still a long way to go however these two are making great progress 💚💚 #globalmuseum #Kakapo #birds #Parrots #conservation -

Trilobite lovers, meet the blue green chiton! Though it resembles some trilobites, this critter is actually a #mollusk that inhabits waters around Australia & New Zealand. Growing about 1.4 in (3.5 cm) long, this nocturnal critter can roll into a ball when threatened or disturbed.
