This stunning photo taken at Fort Mason Center came in from Instagrammer, @luckyjuju, whose response to The Forty Part Motet is actually pretty popular:

“I went to see/hear Janet Cardiff’s sound installation at Fort Mason today and my instant reaction was a very very strong desire to weep. Wish I could’ve had the room to myself so I could just let go, but alas, public art. This was waiting outside. Unfiltered."

Roman Tintinnabulum, C. 100 BC - 400 AD

In ancient Rome, a tintinnabulum was a wind chime or assemblage of bells. A tintinnabulum often took the form of a bronze phallic figure or fascinum, a magico-religious phallus thought to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune and prosperity.

Tintinnabula were hung in the doorways of houses and shops, often together with a lamp, as a protection against evil spirits. The name comes from the inclusion of bells that would have hung from suspension loops as seen in this example.

Egyptian Ostrakon, 19th or 20th Dynasty, 1292-1070 BC

From Deir el-Medina, painted on limestone, depicting an acrobat. An ostrakon is a piece of pottery (or stone), usually broken off from a vase or other earthenware vessel.

The ancient workmen’s village of Deir el-Medina is nestled in a small wadi north of the Valley of the Queens on the Theban west bank. The village was founded during or before the reign of Thutmose I (1504–1492 BC) and flourished until the end of the 20th Dynasty (c. 1070 BC). It was home to the workmen responsible for constructing the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

Pre-Viking Triple Bezel Gold Ring with Garnets, 3rd Century AD

A very similar ring was found in royal burial at Aarslev (Denmark), that seems to have been made from a small gold plaque, lavishly decorated with filigree and inlaid with dark purplish type of garnets known as almandine. Its similarities to a fibula from the same hoard indicate that it was part of a set of jewelry in the Roman style, and a coin of the Emperor Geta (211-12 AD) underlines this connection. However, the style of the mount with three pairs of shoulders merging into a single hoop is distinctly Scandinavian.

I spoke to her in a way I had never spoken to anyone before. Sometimes it happens, doesn’t it? You’re speaking to someone and you suddenly find that you’re another person.
