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.

In Japan, Ksitigarbha, known as Jizō, or Ojizō-sama as he is respectfully known, is one of the most loved of all Japanese divinities. His statues are a common sight, especially by roadsides and in graveyards. Traditionally, he is seen as the guardian of children, particularly children who died before their parents. Since the 1980s, he has been worshipped as the guardian of the souls of mizuko, the souls of stillborn, miscarried or aborted fetuses, in the ritual of mizuko kuyō (水子供養). In Japanese mythology, it is said that the souls of children who die before their parents are unable to cross the mythical Sanzu River on their way to the afterlife because they have not had the chance to accumulate enough good deeds and because they have made the parents suffer. It is believed that Jizō saves these souls from having to pile stones eternally on the bank of the river as penance, by hiding them from demons in his robe, and letting them hear mantras.
Jizō statues are sometimes accompanied by a little pile of stones and pebbles, put there by people in the hope that it would shorten the time children have to suffer in the underworld. (The act is derived from the tradition of building stupas as an act of merit-making.) The statues can sometimes be seen wearing tiny children's clothing or bibs, or with toys, put there by grieving parents to help their lost ones and hoping that Jizō would specially protect them. Sometimes the offerings are put there by parents to thank Jizō for saving their children from a serious illness. Jizō's features are commonly made more babylike to resemble the children he protects.
As he is seen as the saviour of souls who have to suffer in the underworld, his statues are common in cemeteries. He is also believed to be the protective deity of travellers, and roadside statues of Jizō are a common sight in Japan. Firefighters are also believed to be under the protection of Jizō.

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.

Situated on the Old Schools Quadrangle the Divinity School (built 1427-88) faces and is joined to the Bodleian Library, and features a bronze statue of William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke.
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.

Oxford
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.

When Beeson Divinity School was founded in 1988, one of Mr. Beeson's wishes was that the Divinity School house a "special" chapel. In the fall of 2002, the chapel was officially named in honor of Andrew Gerow Hodges, close personal friend and advisor to the late Mr. Ralph Beeson.
The chapel dome weighs 90,000 pounds. Its exterior diameter is 41 feet and is110 feet high atop the lantern. Primarily copper in content, it contains 10,000 pounds of 16-ounce sheets laid in 12-inch x 18-inch strips, and 22 tons of steel.
