The roof of the north adyton is made from a single huge slab of stone. In the centre is a cupola containing the buts of the seven planatary divinities - Jupiter in the middle, surrounded by Helios, Selene, Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite and Cronos. In a narrow band around that are the signs of the zodiac - if you enlarge the photo you can see Pisces at the bottom and Scorpio over to the right.
At the top of the photo, on the underside of the lintel, there is the carving of an eagle, representing Jupiter / Bel, with his wings outstretched across a star studded sky. The entrances to two side chambers can be seen, one of which contains a stair that leads to the roof.

Excerpt from VMFA Caption: Head of a divinity, 8th-9th Century, Buff Sandstone. Indian, Southern Uttar Pradesh or Northwest Madhya Pradesh. This head of a male deity is a sculptural fragment of great delicacy and beauty. Though it is difficult to determine his identity, the piled, matted hair suggests an affiliation with the Hindu god Shiva, who is often shown as an ascetic (one who practices self-denial as a measure of spiritual discipline).
I last visited Oxford about 15 years ago so it was definitely time to go back. I lucked out with the weather - it was a gorgeous day in mid-May 2022, actually too bright at first. I tried to check out as many attractions as possible but trying to navigate admission policies was a nightmare - some places required buying tickets a day in advance and others were closed even though they said they were open. One security guard told me "It's Oxford, things are different here". That is true. Next time I'll stay a few days.
I misplaced my notes, so if you know the names of any of the building, feel free to help me. Thanks.
The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford.[2] Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology, which is housed at the Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford.[3]
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses, designed by William Orchard in the 1480s.[4]
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library and is also next to the Sheldonian Theatre where students gain their degrees. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7).[1]

Divinity
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
Combine sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan; cook over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (260 degrees F, 125 C). It will be boiling rapidly for about ten minutes to reach this temperature (Time depends on the BTU output of your stove). Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Pour hot sugar mixture in a very thin stream over egg whites while beating constantly at high speed of an electric mixer. Add vanilla, and continue beating just until mixture begins to hold its shape (3 minutes). Stir in pecans and spread on foil that's been stuck to the counter with a bit of water underneath. Let cool 1 hour and slice into squares with a butter knife. Let sit overnight and transfer to wax paper lined air-tight tins in the morning.

This was clicked at the Chor Bazaar's antique market. To me, this looks like one of those Thai goddess whose roots are said to in Hinduism.

This building is part of the Bodleian Library...this ceiling just blew me away! It's from the reign of Edward IV - my favourite period of history . The people who contributed to its cost had their arms, or initials if they didn't have arms, emblazoned into the pattern.
Built 1427–83, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology, which is housed at the Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford.
