A 2nd c. BCE cameo of banded agate, used to great effect, to create a double portrait. BUT the museum info differs from the info in the exhibition at the #GettyCenter, where I spotted it a few years ago. The foreground character is undoubtedly a Ptolemaic king, but is the background character Zeus-Ammon (ram's horns hidden by the king) or Hercules? #archaeology #AncientArt

Probably not going to post anything for the 30 Day Song Challenge today (not a fan if that category) but going for #architecture and #photography instead.
2015 trip to LA to see my stepson and we visited the amazing Getty Center. Absolutely gorgeous forms, materials and vistas #GettyCenter #LA

The #Maya #Codex of #Mexico (dated between 1021 and 1154 CE) is the oldest manuscript of the #Americas. It is the only surviving book kept at the National Library of Anthropology and History in Mexico City, of four original pre-columbian Mayan codices. It can currently be visited at the #GettyCenter in Los Angeles, as part of a temporary exhibition (thru January 15, 2023). The photos were taken by me during a previous exhibition.
