If you ever wondered where all the eyes went in ancient bronze statues…
Here’s one made from marble and glass, set into bronze (complete with eye lashes!) Zoom in here.
“In the Byzantine Empire, as today, rings exchanged during the marriage rite witnessed a couple’s legitimate union. Three rings were associated with this rite of passage: one ring for engagement and two for marriage. The bezels were decorated with images and words of symbolic importance or inscribed with the names of the couple. In Greek Orthodox custom, following the Byzantine tradition, the ring is worn on the right, or “correct” hand, related to the acceptability of the marriage through an ancient rite of the clasping of the right hands.”
~ Put a Ring On It
Gold and enamel engagement ring with a Greek inscription, dating from about 1175–1300 AD, and measuring 3cm in diameter. Image courtesy of the National Archaeological Museum, Athens.
What does this particular one say though?
“I, Goudeles, give this engagement ring to Maria.”

Did you know that for hundreds of millions of years, Manhattan was home to a towering mountain range similar to the Himalayas? Central Park has many rock formations.These rocks are Manhattan schist. They used to be part of the ancient Pangaea supercontinent and are fragments of it left behind when the continent split. #centralpark #winter #snow #nyc #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #imagesofNYC #instagramnyc #instagood #igers #igersnewyork #allny #newyork_instagram
