The Taus, also known as the Mayuri Veena, is one of the more spectacular items in the Tagore collection of musical instruments at the Met. The two names for the instrument come from the Persian and Hindi words for peacock, an auspicious animal often associated with the Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of wisdom, art, and music. Mayuri, 19th century. India. Wood, parchment, metal, feathers. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Crosby Brown Collection of Musical Instruments, 1889 (89.4.163) #MayuriVeena

Creole: The world’s largest wooden sailing yacht

Launched 90 years ago, Creole has quite some history. But under the loving stewardship of the Gucci family, this classic schooner still sails like a dream...

Allegra Gucci’s classic sailing yacht Creole has graced the cover of Boat International before — but you may not have realised. The classic image (March 2015, for devoted collectors of this magazine) features a 1955 photograph of Sophia Loren at her most alluring, bound in a shimmering bodice, with this vast schooner in the background. The boat puts up an impressive fight for the viewer’s attention. The extraordinary yacht and the family’s other classic, 18.3 metre Avel, are under the loving stewardship of Allegra, younger daughter of the late Maurizio Gucci — and she is guarding her father’s legacy with skill. She may be the scion of a fashion dynasty, having grown up between residences in New York and St Moritz (where she still resides now with her husband and small child) but she is also a serious sailor with a law degree, who can usually be spotted working on deck during races — or getting her hands dusty at a shipyard when on land.

Sea Horse Ranch Cabarete, Dominican Republic - The sunset views from this spot looking west towards Puerto Plata are wonderful, particularly in spring, summer, and fall. Well-treed, the lots receive nice breezes from the east while giving open ocean view to the north and northwest.

The superb Leica M Monochrom Limited Edition Jim Marshall Set

Renowned for his unique shots of rock and roll and jazz legends and many other iconic pictures, the late American photographer Jim Marshall had a different way of viewing life through his lenses, and that’s exactly why the famous German camera manufacturer Leica has decided to pay an awesome tribute to his legacy. Unveiled a few days ago, the Leica M Monochrom Limited Edition Jim Marshall Set is set to cost $12,950 and only 50 lucky people will get to enjoy it.

This special Leica set comprises a custom brass-plated M Monochrom camera, a Jim Marshall estate print of pianist Thelonious Monk, and a special estate-embossed copy of Jim Marshall: Jazz Festival, which will allow you to take a glimpse of previously unseen images of the artist. It is also worth mentioning that this is a first for Leica, meaning this is the first time the German brand has honored a celebrated photographer.
