Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
"Again Eros, looking at me meltingly from under his dark eyelids, hurls me with his manifold enchantments into the boundless nets of Kypris [Aphrodite]. How I fear his onset."
Ibycus, Fragment 287🏛 Aphrodite terracotta figurine with #Eros, Tanagra, ca 400 BCE

CW: Image of a God
The #Reims Stela is one of the more impressive and complete survivals of #Cernunnos iconography.
Because the weathered stone is so dull, I've always wanted to see it restored to its former #polychromy glory. I experimented with some digital colorization, and here is the result!

Here's my #introduction to all you ... Tooters. I'm a refugee from the Tech world, who took early retirement, which enabled me to return to my first love: #archaeology. Specifically, Roman history and archaeology (love the Greeks, Egyptians and Assyrians, too!).
I started getting tired of asking why there weren't any good #reconstructions of ancient polychrome sculpture, so I decided to create them myself. A continuing process, always learning. #polychromy
