I am having so much fun with my tablet that I upgraded some old photographs with flowers inspired by Ottoman Iznik tiles and pottery. I am always trying to find some old postcards when I am in Cairo and as soon as I find a working scanner I will start working with my collection. Here, the original photographs are from collection of Victoria and Albert Museum and the flowers are from various 15th-16th century objects from Tokapi Palace in Istambul.
Please tell me how do you like it!

Ritual Lingzhi Fungus Mask Nepal probably 19th century height: 22.5cm, width: 21cm This extraordinary mask has been formed from a large, single Lingzhi fungus (Ganoderma Lucidum). The natural structure of the fungus has been coaxed into forming a nose, ears, a mouth and eyes. Two holes on either side allow for a natural twine to have been threaded through so that the mask can be either worn or hung for (perhaps) ritual display. The surface is hard, glossy and dramatically wrinkled.

Hi :)
Excavations are finished but I am still in Egypt, currently working in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. You can follow my adventures on my second tumblr: Cats of Cairo!
See you there!
