While watching the live broadcast of 2020 Oscars this morning, I realized my yellow brick box was just lying across the table, so I did a little challenge for myself and tried to recreate the iconic Oscar Statuette before the show ends. Spent around an hour or so on it in the end, not bad for a quick exercise!😛
P.S. Yes I did go lazy and reused the base from the Avengers Tower promo, as most of my black curves have been taken up currently by another MOC I am working on...
Traditional Roman households owned at least one protective Lares-figure, housed in a shrine along with the images of the household's penates, genius image and any other favoured deities. Their statues were placed at table during family meals and banquets. They were divine witnesses at important family occasions, such as marriages, births and adoptions, and their shrines provided a religious hub for social and family life. Left to right: the pater familias genius statue, a larger and smaller statue of Isis-Fortuna, Helios, a seated Jupiter, a standing Jupiter and Mercury.

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral was between 1624 and 1790 the Cathedral of the Bishop of Glandèves. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, it was consecrated in 1627 and classified as a Historical Monument in 1996. Integrated into the fortifications of the city at the end of the 17th century, it reveals from this time a crenellated belfry which then serves as a defense tower. Inside, you can admire several objects and other works of art classified like the altarpiece and its painting representing the baptism of Christ, stalls in walnut of the seventeenth century, a statuette of St. John in silver, reliquary bust of Saint Peter in gilded wood, or organs of the early eighteenth century.
This is a classic metaphysical work inspired by Giorgio de Chirico.

This bronze statuette depicts the syncretic Greco-Romano-Egyptian goddess Isis-Aphrodite. Her nude form and hair are pure Aphrodite, while Egyptian elements are present in her large headdress. In her left hand, she holds a tiny figure of Harpocrates (Horus), son of Isis. In her right hand, she probably held a sistrum (rattle), a symbol of Isian worship. Her necklace almost looks Etruscan, but the pendant is in Egyptian format (I recognize the object, but can't recall what it represents, and no info on the Brooklyn Museum website).
Four stylized feather-palmettes arose from the goddess' stephane (tiara), with the horns of Isis in the center. Glass or semi-precious stones were originally inlaid into the goddess' eyes and into the sockets in her headdress.
Egypt, Roman era, 1st-2nd century CE, bronze.

The decoration below the upright handle on the back of this kalpis (pitcher) shows the hero Herakles, with his attributes of a club and a lionskin, carrying Eros, the winged young god of love. Such depictions of an older deity carrying an infant god were popular in Greek art in the period from about 400 to 300 BCE. Eros in particular was a favorite subject for artists of this period. The image on this kalpis is the earliest known representation of Eros paired with Herakles, perhaps symbolizing the triumph of love over physical strength.
Although most have not survived, vessels in precious metals must have been plentiful in the Greek world. Produced for the wealthy, luxury vessels in gold, silver, and bronze were created in the same shapes as the ceramic versions used for everyday household chores. The kalpis is a variant form of the more common hydria, a vessel used for carrying water. Often awarded as prizes in competitions and dedicated in sanctuaries, these valuable objects also served as cinerary urns and ballot boxes. Decorative appliqués or statuettes were usually cast separately and soldered or riveted to the exterior. The body of the Getty’s kalpis was hammered from a bronze sheet, while ornate attachments such as handles were added separately.

For many animal statues, it is impossible to say whether they represent animals or gods if they are not named in antiquity. This falcon can represent either the falcon god Horus or a sacred falcon for him.

Statuettes from the tomb of Tutankhamun. The one in the middle, depicting Tutankhamun, was one of seven royal statuettes wrapped in linen, and placed in a black naos in his tomb. This statuette was stolen during the break-in at the museum on January 28, 2011; when it was recovered, some parts were missing and other parts were smashed; it was restored in the museum. (JE60713)

This Statuette was gifted to my father by a colleague many years ago. It was meant to represent him, and thus the label "le Penseur" (french for "the philosopher"). My dad was a very deep thinker. On it is my dad's old set of prayer beads.

Toujours utile, et fonctionne sans pile, sans électricité, traverse les années, voir les siècles avec la même précision à chaque utilisation, en plus l'objet est beau, tout le contraire de la consommation actuelle. Tout ça pour dire, une belle macro. J'aimerais bien le voir en entier ce sablier.
