The remarkable Ellis Rowan was born #OTD (30 Jul 1848 – 4 Oct 1922). #DTK she traveled to New Guinea in 1916-7 (when she was almost 70!) and with help from Indigenous Papuans was able to find and paint most of the known species of Birds of Paradise?

Spondylus shell pendant
Chimú, 900-1470 CE
Shell & turquoise
Dumbarton Oaks display
“According to 16th c. documents, Spondylus shell was considered more valuable than gold or silver in the pre-Columbian Andes. Found in the warm waters off the coast of Ecuador, the bivalve was closely associated with concepts of fertility.”
“This pendant was crafted from S. princeps valve with inlays of S. calcifer and turquoise to create a design of coastal birds devouring their prey.”

Another favorite from the new “Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature” exhibition at Brandywine Museum of Art:
Joseph Stella (1877-1946), Lyre Bird, c. 1925, oil on canvas.
With two bonus bird friends…a bird-of-paradise on the right, and what appears to be a honeycreeper on the left? (A fairy wren would make more sense since that’s also native to Australasia, but it really does look more like a honeycreeper, native to the Neotropical Americas…?)
