Ea Nasir gets all the credit, but can we talk about this Sumerian seal with a dude choking out an ostrich, while their friends wear fish costumes?

reading about Belle da Costa Greene who was a librarian and art historian who worked for the Morgan Library in New York and was famous for her efforts at adding to and maintaining the collection. and she was a Black woman who passed for white so that she could be successful, and the book I’m reading is historical fiction but still, knowing she would be recognized for her true self at one point and could shine as a beacon of a successful Black woman in a time when that was nearly impossible… like it’s so beautiful

Strolling Madison and Seventh Avenues

It was a gorgeous Friday in New York City. Deb and I strolled famous avenues and saw the sites along the way. Come along

Travel There – Libraries, a Cathedral, an Architectural Tour and The Top of the Rock There was only one thing wrong with our plan for the day and that was Deborah’s feet.

I love how curious Arthur Morgan is. He doesn't know if dinosaurs are real but he hopes they are and keeps an eye out for large bones.

Four cicada brooches, Eastern Germanic, c. 380-500 CE

silver, copper alloy, iron

The Morgan Library & Museum display

“Cicadas symbolized immortality in the ancient world, perhaps because of their seemingly miraculous regeneration after long periods of dormancy. Cicada brooches were worn by women living along the Danube and on the northern shores of the Black Sea. The Goths converted to Christianity in the period after AD 350, and these brooches may have had connotations of spiritual renewal and rebirth.”
