This old house in Suffield, Ohio, was once part of a large farm and occupied by a family. For several years, during the 1980s and 1990s, it was the site of Ivory Manor Antiques. Still standing straight and tall, it has been empty for several years and, sadly, the deterioration continues.

I got her on sale a couple of weeks back and i was always intrigued by this sculpt- androgynous and strong, which upon arrival , it confirmed all my expectations. the sculpt is surprisingly detailed and easy to work with though quite ginormous lols. She is wearing a leatherette empire gown, with shoulder sculpture details and a filigree headpiece all inspired by Cherlize on Snow White and the Huntsman.
The villa of the Bruttil Presentes had been the property of a powerful family from the entourage of emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD).
Chryselephantine statues are so-called from the Greek chrysos, meaning gold, and elephântinos, meaning ivory, and in classical times these two precious materials were combined with others, particularly in cult statues. The high value and perishable nature of the materials have meant that very few artefacts have survived to our day, and such finds on archaeological sites are rare.
It formed part of a life-sized statue of the Greek goddess Athena, which should be seen in the light of a renaissance of this particular technique in Hadrian's time.

About the Work
By Augusto Marcelino Reyes Gonzalez III
Commissioned by D Maximo Viola y Sison (1857– 1933): a contemplative and reflective tabletop “Calvario” tableau. The “Cristo Expirante” has a resigned expression. It has long hair of “jusi” fibers and on its head are a silvergilt crown of thorns and “tres potencias” symbolizing the three powers of the Lord: Authority (Exousia in Greek), Ability (Dunamis in Greek), and Strength (Kratas in Greek), it wears a “tapis” loincloth of silvergilt repousse with flowers and leaves. The cross itself is of kamagong wood with linear lanite inlay terminating in silvergilt repousse “cantoneras” on three of its exposed sides; there are the requisite INRI plaque (“Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews,” in unusual silvergilt openwork) surmounting the cross, the reverse–painted red glass sun framed by silver rays above the Cristo, and the silver skull and bones representing Golgotha below the Cristo; the cross exudes silvergilt repousse rays with flowers and leaves which symbolize the Cristo’s divinity. The Cristo is flanked by the two thieves, San Dimas the good thief to the Cristo’s right and Gestas the unrepentant thief to the left, as dictated by tradition; San Dimas gestures towards the Cristo but Gestas ignores both of them; both San Dimas and Gestas are polychrome “de tallado” wooden figures with their carved “tapis” loincloths painted red for some reason. The other principal figures in the tableau are the grieving “Mater Dolorosa” (Mary the Sorrowful Mother) on the left, a silvergilt “rostrillo” (of the distinct 1890s type) around its face and a silvergilt heart pierced by a dagger on its breast, clad in a gold robe and blue cape; a distraught “San Juan Evangelista” (Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist) on the right, a silvergilt “paraguas” halo on its head, clad in a red robe and green cape; and a prostrate and desperate “Santa” Maria Magdalena (Saint Mary Magdalene) at the foot of the cross, a silvergilt “paraguas” halo on its head, clad in a purple robe and yellow cape. All the velvet vestments are embroidered with floral and foliar designs of the 1890s genre. In the tradition of nineteenth century (Victorian) “miniaturismo,” many charming glass baubles, reputedly created by the inmates of the Bilibid Prison (according to the prewar–postwar collector Felipe Kleimpell Hidalgo), dot the base of the tableau. There are country folk: a farmer (well –dressed, looks like a prince), his wife, daughter, and a female vendor with a basket on her head, all wearing cheery dresses. Plants and flowers. There are all kinds of animals: dogs, cats, birds, geese, sheep, goats, even antlered deer. There is a “Roman centurion” on a horse between the Cristo and San Dimas, although the horse looks like anything but one. The surface of the base is textured to simulate earth. Overall, it is a very interesting tableau. “Calvario” tableaux (Calvary scenes) were necessary appurtenances of Roman Catholic evangelization and catechesis in the past centuries. They depicted the Crucifixion: the “Cristo Expirante” (dying) or even the “Cristo Moribundo” (dead) Jesus Christ on the cross, his nearest and dearest --- “Mater Dolorosa” (Mary his Sorrowful Mother), “San Juan Evangelista” (Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist), and “Santa Maria Magdalena” (Saint Mary Magdalene) at the foot of the cross. To the faithful, they were daily reminders of the ultimate sacrifice by Jesus Christ. They were the visualizations of “Semana Santa” (Holy Week), “Viernes Santo” (Good Friday), “Las Siete Palabras” (The Seven Last Words), “La Procesion del Entierro” (Burial Procession), and “El Triduo Pascual” (Easter Triduum), all central themes of Roman Catholicism leading to Easter, the Resurrection of Christ, the most central theme of all.

What a charming little poem to go with this ivory fork, another treasure from my Grandfather's house. The box is really old and beat up, a remnant of an elegant lifestyle that sadly does not exist these days. Imagine having a special ivory serving fork to put that slice of lemon in your tea?
"When you serve lemon with your tea
Use this fork of ivory.
It's just the thing for pickles, too
The tricks of acid no harm can do.
"I" is for Ivory.
My ivory display wedding cake. I wanted to use plenty of texture on this one to show that all ivory doesn't have to be boring! Piped dots on the top, hand-embossed hearts on the middle layer and double-depth stripes on the base.
St. Anthony with the Christ Child
17th Century
FILIPINO
Ivory with traces of gilding and polychromy. The ivory has yellowed with age.
St. Anthony is shown wearing the habit of the Franciscan order -- the long cassock with the valona (a short capelet) with a raised cowl forming a hood at the back. A rope cincture is tied around his waist. On the saint's right hand, he holds a book (probably a Bible) on which perches a small image of the Christ Child. His left hand is crooked to hold a spray of lilies (a symbol of his chastity and purity) now lost. The saint is shown with a chubby face consistent with early renditions of the saint's image in ivory. The saint also is shown generally bald but with a a wide tonsure which cover his pate three-quarters of the way around his head. In the middle is a bunched forelock. Old losses and repairs.
H w/o base: 8.5 in. or 18.7 cm.
H w/ base: 12 in. or 26.4 cm.
Note: The image bears NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES inventory tag number #0020345.

This puzzle is so pretty but I couldn't take a straight picture. I had to use a step stool to get higher than the puzzle on my card table and even then could not see the puzzle in the camera, so this might be the best I can do.

Ivory sat with his friend Victor on the north side of Monroe Street east of State Street. Victor was very engaging and friendly as we started talking. Early on in our conversation he told me, "Don't ever strive to be good, don't ever strive to be great, strive to be ex-cell-ahnt". He wrote that, he said. He said he's not homeless, but he comes out here and hangs out with his friends on the weekdays. He is a very generous man. One of his friends needed some money, so he reached into his shirt and gave him five dollars. He used my phone to leave a message on his mom's phone. He then talked about his mom, who was very strict and didn't let anyone smoke or drink in her house. He said one time, she had him put in jail because he had alcohol on his breath. But he spoke fondly of her and said her full name--Mary Montgomery Hudson Patterson. He was going there for Thanksgiving and said she was an amazing cook. He used to work at the Palmer House as a bus boy and dishwasher. He said he's famous and that everyone knows him. He also said he's a writer and an artist. He likes to draw and is currently writing an autobiography titled, "The Life and Times of Homeless People". He said he has a lot of it written already.

I have some really close up shots of this species from the trip but I liked the setting around the bird in this photo.

At least one doll picture this weekend! I was cleaning and reorganizing my BJDs space and she was so pretty on the shelf.
Everyone have a wonderful week! ♡

Piano on piano XD
The small piano is a pencil sharpener that my mom gave me. I love it, but I've never used it to sharpen anything. I just keep it displayed on top of my real piano so I can see all the time.
I took a similar shot about 1 1/2 years ago and posted it on my deviantArt account. I didn't have my camera back then, so I used my phone. Here's what it used to look like. (I named it "Ivory" too) That was my very first upload on deviantArt.
