A detailed low-angle close-up of ancient Egyptian carvings on a dark stone granite surface with both hieroglyphic inscriptions and figurative representations.
The bas-relief carving is showcasing Seshat, an ancient Egyptian deity - the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing -
wearing her distinctive headdress featuring a seven-pointed star and two inverted plumes. She is shown in profile, a common artistic convention in ancient Egyptian art, with her arms extended in a record-keeping gesture.
Another deity figure - Thot - is partially visible to the left, also in profile, interacting with Seshat.
The background and surrounding areas are densely covered with intricate hieroglyphic carvings, which appear to be well-preserved. These inscriptions would likely detail the actions of the figures depicted, religious texts, or historical records related to the monument's construction or purpose.
The play of light and shadow highlights the depth and precision of the carvings, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the relief.
The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking upwards, which emphasizes the monumental scale of the carving and the structure it adorns. The natural sunlight casts dramatic shadows that enhance the contours and details of the figures and hieroglyphs.

The difference in color which appears at the bottom of the picture is due to differences in the actual boards covering the facade (amplify to see the sealed joints). Those boards were made off-site and mounted lalter on the building (See [www.d-y-d.com/sv/svex/indexex.html])
In der Stadt Olten war ein für die meiste Zeit seines Lebens freilebender Kater unter dem Namen «Toulouse» stadtbekannt. Erst in seinen letzten Jahren lebte er bei einer Familie. 2017 musste er 18jährig eingeschläfert werden. Ein lokaler Schriftsteller widmete ihm als «König von Olten ein Buchkapitel». Seit 2018 residiert der König als Bronzefigur auf dem Kaplaneiplatz.

IIn the city of Olten was a for most of his life free-living tomcat under the name "Toulouse" city-known. Only in his last years he lived with a family. In 2017, he had to be euthanized at the age of 18. A local writer dedicated a book chapter to him as "King of Olten". Since 2018, the King resides as a bronze figure on Kaplaneiplatz.
"I found these ancient inscriptions and writings on the rocks during my recent tour of the valley. Although I couldn't read them, a brief search revealed that they are religious prayers and some names. I believe they are very old, mainly because the script is undotted - and in Arabic, dots are essential for distinguishing letters. Since dots were first introduced in the 7th century AD, this suggests the inscriptions predate that period."

Looking at the wall around it, one wonders just how many layers of paint adorned it before finally being abandoned in the 1950s. There is evidence of quite a number, but just how many...?
in 2015 during the first world war, to defend our country ancestors made a huge war against enemies and got an outstanding victory by giving 253 thousands martyrs only in Çanakkakale. This monument was constructed in order to represent victory and independence of my country.
In a secluded place in the Ojeda Valley of Palencia, the Cistercian order erected this female monastery of Santa María and San Andrés.
Many details attest to it.
- LIGHT - Sorø - Sculpture at Storgade 14.
Inscription in Latin: "The Dream I never awake from"
- Ud for Storgade 14 afsløredes i 2002 Mogens Møllers skulptur, ”Den nye Klio” på toppen af en høj granitsten.
Mogens Møller siger, at den nye Klio ikke er historiens Klio, men den enkeltes Klio. Hun er derfor ikke udstyret med bøger, men med et spejl, så historien ændrer sig efter den, der ser på den.
Den latinske indskrift på soklen lyder: Den drøm jeg aldrig vågner af.

This book belonged to my husband's grandfather, he gave it to us many years ago. Photographing it today for the Macro Mondays theme I wondered if he thought that my house keeping skills could do with some work - the book is called Domestic Economy, a class book for girls.!
The preface has a lovely line which says "It may be profitable to put the book into the hands of those who are already engaged in domestic work, whether daughters or mothers, mistresses or maids."
I'd love to know who it was given to in 1879.....HMM

A solemn and historic artistic atmosphere.
The profound contrast of light and shadow creates a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere. The predominantly dark color palette underscores the solemnity of Burmese temples.
Two stone tablets or plaques inscribed with Burmese script form the visual focal point. Their ancient texture and densely packed inscriptions hint at a long history and profound cultural heritage.

Paris, France, Le Palais Royal. "Les Modes," a sculpture in bronze by Wang Du (detail).
"La presse écrite, Internet et la télévision sont les supports privilégiés de son art. De ce recours quasi obsessionnel aux médias, Wang Du extrait les images les plus frappantes, créant ainsi une « post-réalité » qui oscille entre monde réel et virtualité du monde médiatique. Dans le jardin, il a posé trois journaux froissés en boule, surdimensionnés et en acier, qui appartiennent à la série des «Modes»."

Dedicated in 203 AD, the Arch of Septimius Severus stands on the Via Sacra near the base of Capitoline Hill. It commemorates the Parthian war victories of the Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons in the final decade of the 2nd Century AD.
The inscription originally originally had gilded bronze lettering and reads:
IMP · CAES · LVCIO · SEPTIMIO · M · FIL · SEVERO · PIO · PERTINACI · AVG · PATRI PATRIAE PARTHICO · ARABICO · ET PARTHICO · ADIABENICO · PONTIFIC · MAXIMO · TRIBVNIC · POTEST · XI · IMP · XI · COS · III · PROCOS · ET IMP · CAES · M · AVRELIO · L · FIL · ANTONINO · AVG · PIO · FELICI · TRIBVNIC · POTEST · VI · COS · PROCOS · P · P · OPTIMIS · FORTISSIMISQVE · PRINCIPIBUS.OB · REM · PVBLICAM · RESTITVTAM · IMPERIVMQVE · POPVLI · ROMANI · PROPAGATVM · INSIGNIBVS · VIRTVTIBVS · EORVM · DOMI · FORISQVE · S · P · Q · R
A translation is:
" To the Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius, son of Marcus, Severus Pius Pertinax Augustus, father of his country, conqueror of the Parthians in Arabia, Pontifex Maximus with tribunal power 11 times, Imperator 11 times, Consul 3 times, and proconsul. And to the Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, son of Lucius, Augustus Pius Felix, with tribunal power 6 times, consul, and proconsul, father of the country, the best and bravest prince. Because they restored the Republic and increased the dominion of the Roman people by their outstanding virtues at home and abroad, the Senate and the People of Rome (dedicate this). "
After Septimius Severus death, his son Caracalla (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) had his brother Geta (Publius Septimius Geta) killed and ruled as Emperor. Geta's name and image was removed from the arch and other memorials.
Also visible here are the two large panels depicting scenes from the Parthian war and the spandrels with winged victories over the central archway.
