Obverse side of sterling silver Navajo turtle brooch inlaid with night sky pattern in various stones and shells and signed Frank Yellowhorse photographed for the Macro Mondays theme: Jewelry
Frank Yellowhorse was born on Feb 14, 1933 and was a US Navy veteran in the Korean War. He and his talented offspring created Navajo jewelry, rugs and curios and sold them in their well known Route 66 shop in Lupton, Arizona until he died four years ago at the age of 87. The turtle brooch continues to be made and sold in various patterns signed by his son Alvin Yellowhorse who, apprenticing with his father since the age of 19, has lifted the craft to a new high, winning many awards.
It is entirely possible that Alvin did the inlay on this piece. If you have an interest, please enjoy this Mark Sublette podcast with Alvin Yellowhorse in which he talks quite a bit about the actual selection of materials and hand crafting of the jewelry.

Found in small cemetery near village on island in Fiji in South Pacific. Such a lovely, living color memorial so beautifully inlaid, especially contrasted with the other graves that were plain cement color.
The inlaid marble mosaic floor is one of the most ornate of its kind in Italy, covering the whole floor of the cathedral. This undertaking went on from the 14th to the 16th centuries, and about forty artists made their contribution. The floor consists of 56 panels in different sizes.
The first known artist working on the panels, was Domenico di Niccolò dei Cori, who was in charge of the cathedral between 1413 and 1423.

The 13th century Siena Cathedral is one of the most magnificent Romanesque-Gothic churches in Italy. The black and white marble stripes on the walls and columns have a dominating visual impact—black and white being the colours of the city’s civic coat of arms. Equally, some would say even more, striking is the inlaid marble designs that cover the entire cathedral floor, one of the most ornate of its kind in Italy.

Bronze dagger with inlaid decoration depicting a lion hunt. The hunters carry spears and bows, and protect themselves with tower-shaped and figure-eight shields. One lion has been hurt and a man lies on the ground, while two more lions escape. On the reverse, the hunted become the hunter: a lion hunts deer. Grave IV, Grave Circle A, Mycenae. Excavated by Schliemann in 1876 -- he is better known for discovering Troy, but also investigated the main city of its besiegers, the Achaeans.
What you are watching here is one tiny step in the relentless millennia-long campaign to eradicate the lion. Its native range originally encompassed most of Africa, the Middle East, India, and southeast Europe. In Greece, it was common as reported by Herodotus in 480 BCE; it was considered rare by 300 BCE and extirpated by 100 CE. It is now restricted to relict patches in Africa and one tiny population in India.
Where it comes into conflict with livestock, herders are still trying to eradicate it. In Kenya, Maasai herders got permission to graze their cattle on what was supposed to be a game reserve, the Maasai Mara -- by night, so the tourists could experience it as 'wild' during the day. And then, in 2015, when (predictably) the nocturnally active lions developed a taste for cow, the Maasai poisoned the lions.
A beautiful long colonnade surrounds the central courtyard of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque with large open arches held up by rows of white marble columns, inlaid with floral mosaics and topped with gold date palm finials. The workmanship is superb and it is peaceful, cool and elegant space that is a pleasure to walk down and admire. In this image a visitor looks up in admiration at the finials. Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Elaborately carved and inlaid cabinet in the Château de Chenonceaux in the Loire River Valley in France.
According to daysontheclaise.com,
the cabinet was made in Italy in the late 15th or early 16th century. It is pear wood, which has been ebonised in parts to show off details such as the fine stringing on the inside of the doors. The drawer fronts are cast bronze and there are ivory panels with pen and ink sketches inserted into some panels. The inlay patterns are created with wood, ivory and mother of pearl. The cabinet was a wedding gift to François II and Mary Stuart in 1558.
The current Château de Chenonceaux was built from 1514–1522 and was later (1559) expanded with bridges to span the entire river. It has amazing furnishings and sports a spectacular history.
The Tomb of Akbar the Great is an important Mughal architectural masterpiece, built 1605–1613, set in 48 Ha (119 acres) of grounds in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The buildings are constructed mainly from a deep red sandstone, enriched with features in white marble. Decorated inlaid panels of these materials and a black slate adorn the tomb and the main gatehouse. Panel designs are geometric, floral and calligraphic
A little inlaid Indian box – it's so small that I just put a piece of paper with a word on it inside 😜

Marble eagle in an inlaid tombstone in the Co-Cathederal of St. John in Valletta, Malta. The tombs cover almost the entire floor of this incredible building, the final resting place of around 400 dignitaries of the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.
There must be a story here; if anyone can enlighten me as to whom this particular coat of arms belongs...
This is the buckle I used for the MM Wood shot. Steve reminded me that his friend made this for him 44 years ago as a wedding gift. I don't know the types of wood he used. It's actually a little darker than this. : )
The Bibi Ka Maqbara is nearly as old as the Taj Mahal. Whereas the Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1632, the Bibi Ka Maqbara was commissioned 28 years later in 1660 by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Like the Taj Mahal, it was built by a Mughal emperor of India and like the Taj Mahal, it was built for his beloved wife (namely Dilras Banu Begum).

Found at Petra (see on Pleiades), Temple of the Winged Lions, niche in the N wall of the cella, during excavation in 1975.
Nabataean period, early 1st c. CE
The Nabataean inscription translates as "Goddess of Hayyan, son of Nayibat/Nybat," suggesting that it was dedicated by a man named Hayyan to the goddess, probably 'Allat, worshiped in the Temple of the Winged Lions.

PADDY: “Goodness! This canola field is full of interesting things, and not just golden canola flowers.”
SCOUT: “Which are really yellow canola flowers, Paddy!” *Definite.*
PADDY: “Look Scout! A piano! Who would put a piano in the middle of a canola field? Perhaps someone who likes to play in the open air? What do you think, Scout?”
SCOUT: “Perhaps, Paddy. Or maybe it was put here for little bears to climb and amuse themselves with whilst their Mummies and Daddies photograph the yellow canola flowers millions of times, like Daddy is doing!”
PADDY: “Hhhmmm…” *Contemplates.* “That’s a very interesting and unique thought, Scout.”
SCOUT: “Come on! Let’s climb the piano!”
PADDY and SCOUT: *Clamber up the side of the upright piano and on to the keyboard.*
SCOUT: *Starts walking down the keys.* “Oh Paddy!” *Covers ears with paws.* “What is that awful noise? What is making it? It should stop!”
PADDY: “It’s you, Scout: you’re the one making the noise!”
SCOUT: *Stops running on keys.* “No I’m not Paddy!” *Offended.* “Stop blaming me!” *Listens.* “Oh good, the noise has stopped now. Phew!”
PADDY: “Well of course it’s stopped, Scout. It’s stopped because you have stopped walking.”
SCOUT: “Paddy!” *Places paws on hips.* “I walk all over the place and I never make a nasty noise like that when I do!”
PADDY: “Well no, Scout, but when you walk on piano keys like you are now, you will. I’ll show you.” *Starts walking on keys one at a time, an out of tune note arising as he steps on each key.* “See!”
SCOUT: “Oh I’m glad I’m not the only bear afflicted by this problem! You are too!”
PADDY: *Reaches Scout.* “It’s not an affliction, Scout, it is simply the piano making music when you press the keys. That’s how a piano works.”
SCOUT: “Really Paddy?” *Jumps up and down on keys energetically* “Oh! So it does! Well, in that case, since I made this music, it doesn’t sound so bad at all! In fact, this sounds like that eternal music Daddy plays at home sometimes.”
PADDY: “Eternal music, Scout?”
SCOUT: “Well, maybe it’s called infernal music.”
PADDY: “Infernal music, Scout?”
SCOUT: “Yes! Daddy’s partner comes down and says, ‘Can’t you shut that infernal racket off?’”
PADDY: *Giggles.* “Oh, that kind of music!” *Giggles more.* “I think you’ll find that called atonal music, Scout, and yes, Daddy plays pieces like that by Arnold Schöenberg.”
SCOUT: “So we could make our own eternal music on this piano then, Paddy, by dancing on the keys?”
PADDY: “Atonal music, Scout.” *Looks at piano keys.* “Well, it is a little out of tune being out here in the field, but I guess so. We could dance across the keys.”
SCOUT: “Oh goody!” *Starts jumping up and down on the keys, making a terrible racket.* “Wheeeeee! We can make our own infernal music!”
PADDY: “A-tonal music, Scout, and yes we can.”
SCOUT: “Infernal, internal, eternal: music is music, Paddy! Let’s just make it! Hoorah! Wheeeeee!” *Makes more noise jumping on the keys.*
PADDY: “And Dolly can dance too!”
SCOUT: *Gasps and stops jumping on the keys.* “No she can’t, Paddy!” *Shakes head adamantly.*
PADDY: “Why not, Scout? Don’t you want her to dance with you?”
SCOUT: “Well of course I do, Paddy. It’s just that…”
PADDY: “What Scout?”
SCOUT: “Well…” *Lowers voice.* “Dolly doesn’t have any legs.” *Gasps.* “She only has a funny second head of Granny under there, which I don’t like as much as the Little Red Riding Hood head.” *Lifts skirt and gasps when he sees second head.*
PADDY: “Well, maybe she can do something else then. Can she sing, Scout?”
SCOUT: *Gasps.* “No Paddy!” *Shakes head again.* “I don’t want Dolly to sing! I want to sing!”
PADDY: “But you will be dancing on the keys, Scout.”
SCOUT: “I know, but I am a bear with many talents!” *Proud.* “I can sing and dance at the same time!”
PADDY: “Then what will Dolly do?”
SCOUT: “Dolly can do what she does best, and enjoys doing, Paddy.”
PADDY: “And what is that, Scout?”
SCOUT: “She can sit here and look pretty and clap when we sing and dance!”
PADDY: “Oh!”
SCOUT: *Puts Dolly on the music rack.* “You stay there Dolly and remember to clap loudly. Alright?” *Dolly says nothing. Scout nods at Dolly.* “Good!”
PADDY: “Well, now we have that sorted, Scout. Shall we begin?”
SCOUT: “Yes! Are you ready, Paddy?”
PADDY: “Yes.”
SCOUT: “Maybe if we dance loudly enough, Daddy will stop his photograph taking and come and watch us!”
PADDY: “We can only hope so, Scout! Let’s begin! One… two… three!”
SCOUT and PADDY: *Begin dancing on the keys making a terrible racket as they do.*
There is only one place in Victoria that I know of where you where can walk right into the canola fields and immerse yourself in the glorious and bright golden yellow flowers, and that is at the 'Cornella Canola Walk'. In conjunction with the Shiraz Republic Winery and Cornella Brewery just outside of Heathcote in country Victoria, a canola walk has established complete with a viewing platform and walking track through the flowering yellow crop. And this is where my bears Paddy and Scout, and I, went on Saturday. Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. This tree is known as the Piano Tree, because beneath its twisted branches at its base stands an old Victorian upright piano. Made by K. Schmidt Piano Manufacturers in Berlin, the upright piano is made of walnut and has beautiful panels inlaid with brass. Although out of tune, the piano can still be played, and was played by Paddy and Scout as they performed their impromptu concert. That is how I know the piano was out of tune!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
