Help Us Feed Our Foster Kittens! 🐾❄️

Hi everyone, My mom recently found three small, helpless kittens when she was getting back from work, during a snowstorm. She couldn’t leave them out in the cold, so we brought them home to keep them safe and warm.

We already have a dog and two cats, and while we’re doing our best to give everyone the care they deserve, the cost of food and supplies is more than we can afford. That’s why we’re reaching out for a little help.

If you’re able to contribute, even if it's only a dollar, it would make a huge difference for these kittens, me and my mom. 💕

Even sharing this post would help us. We are actively trying to find these kittens their forever homes, but any help would mean the world to us in the meantime.

Thank you and happy holidays!💕

The restoration of the head of the Croatian Apoxymenos discovered on the island of Lošinj

The Croatian Apoxyomenos is one of the rare preserved Greek statues which used to adorn Greek temples and cities, especially their training grounds (gymnasion, palaistra). The statue was raised from the sea in the vicinity of the islet of Vele Orjule near Lošinj, in 1999. An apoxyomenos, literally translated as ‘scraper’, is the name given to an ancient Greek sculpture of an athlete depicted in the act of scraping sweat and dust from his body with a small curved instrument after exercising. There are eight known examples, including a bronze excavated in Ephesus (Turkey) and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna), a marble in the Vatican museums (Rome) and a bronze head in the Kimball Art Musem in Forth Worth (USA). The Croatian example is not only the most complete one of its kind, many scholars agree it is by far the finest of all known examples.

It is generally thought that the Croatian statue is most likely a Hellenistic or Roman copy of an original that was probably made during the fourth century BC. The detail on the statue is exquisite, including red copper inlaid lips and nipples, and all the more amazing given that bronzes such as this are rare. Bronze statues like this did not survive antiquity as they were melted down to make dishes, weapons, tools and coins. After the Croatian Apoxyomenos was raised from the sea in 1999, it was extensively restored. It was not publicly displayed until 2006.
