The lower left mask is a human face with horns and a snake coiled around the horns. The lower right mask is a stylized large fish (maybe a shark) with a human face on it's back. End photo ID]

‘Lovers Tomb’, Northern Wei dynasty, China (386-534),
Archaeologists in China have discovered a rare double burial, or “lovers’ tomb,” featuring the skeletons of a man and woman locked in an eternal embrace.
Though the grave is 1,500 years old, she still wears a plain silver band on her ring finger.

“Inanimate objects with a trunk” — this probably does not mean “statues of elephants”, so, an interesting way to express “trees”?
(I also wonder who’s going around giving people old-fashioned German names like “Ethelbert Emmanuel Kari” in Nigeria of all places. Seems appropriate / vaguely nominative-determinist for a comparative linguist though…)
