J'ai décidé de lui en offrir une en retour, en hommage à un certain hashtag gourmand du mardi 🤤, que je n'utiliserai pas ici, vu qu'on n'est pas mardi.
Mes pâtisseries sont moins appétissantes que les vraies, mais l'intention y est ❤️
(PS : la citation latine originale est "abundans cautela non nocet", excès de prudence ne nuit pas. J'ai cherché comment dire pâtisserie en latin à la place, mais si ça se trouve, c'est pas ça du tout 😅)
Au #musée des Confluences, j'ai eu la chance de voir travailler la responsable de l'atelier des #moulages : elle réalisait des copies de sécurité d'objets très rares, mais aussi des exemplaires pour des #chercheurs éloignés et pour les médiateurs.
Seul un examen attentif permettait de distinguer la copie de l'original.
Pas de souci avec l'exemplaire de cet homme barbu, copie dédicacée d'une #statue#égyptienne.
Sometimes when we walk, we pass by this statue of Jesus at the Queen of Angels Church right off Welles Park in Lincoln Square. We often call him Bangra Jesus. Put on some Bangra music and look at the photo - ROFL
"Getty Museum restitutes ancient bronze head to Turkey" by Elena Goukassian #TheArtNewspaper
"Los Angeles’s J. Paul Getty Museum will return an ancient bronze sculpture of a young man’s head to Turkey after an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office revealed that it had been looted in the 1960s.
Head From a Statue of a Youth (1st century BC-1st century AD), a bronze head with curly hair and light stubble on the chin, is believed to have been created as a separate cast from the rest of a now-lost life-size body that has never been identified. Researchers know the figure was once whole, because the neck has “evidence of ancient joins on the interior along the break”, according to a press release
, and the eyes—now mere holes in the metal—were “once inlaid with an unknown material”."
The imposing James Hogg Monument, overlooking St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. It was unveiled in 1860 to commemorate the author often known as "The Ettrick Shepherd" who lived from 1770 to 1835. The image shows the setting before the trees in the background were blown down in a storm in January 2022.

Foam by Charles d'Orville Pilkington Jackson in Greenbank Garden, Clarkston, near Glasgow.
This figure was first displayed at the 1938 Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Fifty years later, it was also displayed at the Glasgow Garden Festival in the summer of 1988.
Nachdem es schon Statuen von Kirk und Janeway an ihren jeweiligen (zukünftigen) Geburtsorten gibt, läuft aktuell eine Initiative, eine Riker-Statue mit zugehöriger Bank in seiner Heimatstadt Valdez in Alaska aufzustellen. Die Chancen stehen gut, dass das klappt.
Based around a plaster cast taken from an old Terminator 2 (cast the skin on Arnie) play set.
Now, a hard-fought location on the battlefield of the future.
Even though the statue has fallen, someone has set up a shrine with the head and built barricades.
Those barricades have not held... what has become of the occupant and what is the future of this location?
Lots of details in this piece. Too many to cover in this post.
