Carved Bowl with Olmec Dragon Motif
Olmec, Mexico, 1200-900 BCE (Early Pre-Classic)
The apparently simple, non-figurative design actually shows an abstracted image of a mythical creature known as the “Olmec dragon.” It combined features of different powerful predators of the region, including the harpy eagle, crocodile, and jaguar. The horizontal and vertical lines here show the fast-moving body and tufted eyebrows of this creature. The red pigment here is the mercury compound cinnabar, brought from sources hundreds of miles away.

SEA DRAGON’S GIFT : Part 43 of 83 ,
A World of Sea tale to
@nevermord who commented :
Doctor Woran's response to Kurin's question is based in my own personal experience. I have a few touchy points that date back at least sixty years!
About that parchment process; it dates back to the original refit of the Sun's Daughter to become the Dark Dragon. Mikal was given a shop to begin making the Blackware that became so universally used and popular all over the ship.
All sorts of fish hides were being boiled to release the fibers. As the hides broke down, there were actually two products, though one was only found by accident. The goal was the pliable mass of fibers that could be mixed with blacktangle glue to make the basic material of Blackware. The water the hides were boiled in became thickened by a mix of collagen and very micro fibers.
Some got spilled on a bench and dried in a thin sheet. A journeyman wrote "Clean this up" on it with brush and ink. The apprentice peeled the sheet off of the desk and was about to toss it into the melt pot when Mikal saw it. Thanks to its microfiberous content, the sheet had taken the ink without bleeding out.
Some powdered lime from heat reduced coral was added as an experiment to make it more opaque and the resulting sheet, after bleaching became the brilliant white parchment.
Master Stimms was called in to look over the basic process and he developed the equipment needed to produce the parchment in paper thin sheets taken up in rolls of uniform width. The resulting parchment, due to the fibers in it, is quite tough and resistant to simple tearing, though it cuts cleanly and can, as a result, be made into reams of exactly uniform sized sheets.
Blacktangle glue added to the initial mix will produce a black stout but flexible material that can be used to make backs for bound books and with a different formulation and thickness, stiff covers that can be tooled or embossed.

Happy #InternationalDayOfTheSeal ! 🦭
Sea Lion Effigy Stirrup Vessel
Moche, Peru, 50-800 CE (Early Intermediate-Middle Horizon)
Earthenware (Blackware), H: 6 1/4 x W: 9 1/2 x D: 6 1/4 in. (15.9 x 24.1 x 15.9 cm)
The Walters Art Museum 48.2842 https://art.thewalters.org/detail/79387/seal-effigy-stirrup-vessel/
“This vessel shows a swimming sea lion, an animal commonly found on islands in the Pacific Ocean close to Peru. Apart from being an important source of food for Andean people, sea lions commonly swallow beach pebbles, which they later vomit up. These stones were considered to have powerful medicinal qualities, and could be ground to make herbal remedies in ancient Peru.”
🆔 South American Sea Lion (Otaria byronia)

So yesterday I didn't go to locals cause my brother wasn't feeling well and it was my sister's birthday. Instead, what I'm going to be talking about is this very funny thing I saw in a discord server. It was blueflare mixed with blackwar, and I liked the idea, so I tried to recreate it, but the problem was it was very bricky because the level sixes could only digimon on black and red. It was only running the metalgrey x that digivolves for 1 from metalgreymon, so I tried to adjust it, but it always felt like too much of a brick to have anything other than the metalgretmon xros in hand and even then it felt more like a worse version of old blueflare. It gave me ideas, though, so instead, I changed it to the black and red wargreymon with a mix of the red metalgrey x and a few other things and I can't wait to test it!
