A silver altar frontal panel
c. 18th century, Ilocos
Silver, kamagong frame
39 x 100 cm (15 1/4 x 39 1/4 in)
The retablo or altar of a church is a vertical structure usually made of wood and, in the case of some old, affluent churches, the altar facades are covered with decorated silver. This silver panel was part of an altar frontal of a church in Ilocos that underwent renovation a long time ago. The panel has been repoussed and chased, primarily using steel liners and chasing hammers, to bring out the details of flowers and scrolling foliates on stippled ground. Dotted squares simulate the seeds on the center of the flowers. Encased inside some of the scrolls are diagonal grids with cross at the intersections. Such delicate and laborious work. The silver alone weighs a staggering 1.2 kilograms. Now framed in kamagong and ready to hang.
Provenance: Ramon N. Villegas collection

Pour rappel, vous êtes sur le fameux circuit touristique et piéton de Périgueux ! Cette dame qui nous raconte à tout bout de champ, être écolo, et vouloir mettre en valeur le patrimoine historique de la ville ! Une sacrée comédienne... un sacré numéro... car il est bien évident que d'injecter du diesel dans des ruelles strictement piétonnes, c'est très écolo...
Madame Delphine Labails, maire de Périgueux, ou une vision des années soixante dix... Un échantillon parmi 8000 photos d'infractions prises par des riverains en quelques mois dans deux-trois ruelles exclusivement piétonnes, historiques à cinquante mètres d'une cathédrale classée au patrimoine de l'UNESCO) du grand saccage orchestré par cette dame à Périgueux. 8000 infractions d'automobiles, zéro verbalisation... un authentique record national... pour des ruelles piétonnes, à mettre au crédit de notre maire actuelle madame Delphine Labails...

Altar Frontal With the Auspice Maria Monogram
late 18th century
hardwood with vivid polychromy
30” x 84” x 3”
(76 cm x 213 cm x 8 cm)
From the Benito J. Legarda Jr. Collection.
Opening bid: PHP 300,000
While silver altar frontals have been widely published, fully carved wooden ones like this are less-known. This impressive piece is carved from one full plank. The carving is crisp and deep, with roses and other appliqued forms standing out in high relief. The polychromy is especially vivid.
The central motif is the simplest of the known monograms of the Virgin . Other later monograms depict the letters R (for Regina) and A (for Angelorum) interlinked with the central M. This monogram is known as the Auspice Maria (Under the auspices of Mary), an intertwined A and M, topped by the crown of the Queen of Heaven. Three cherubs are also seen, an allusion to another popular Marian title.
The frontal would have possibly graced a side or transept altar dedicated to the Virgin. The Legarda collection of ecclesiastical art also has many other details and fragments from altars and churches. Among the collector’s many interests was Philippine Church architecture . He was known to have written several essays on the subject. This frontal may well have been his prize among the many altar details he collected. Unfortunately, no collection notes exist to point to the origin of this spectacular frontal.

Here is a different view of the Prothonotary folks only because some one said the first was a partial butt shot and of course to which disagreed, so here it is for what it's worth, Thank you all and thank you for visiting.
Several people asked about this little chest of ceramic drawers in my earlier picture, so I have posted a "full frontal" view so you can see the scale of them. They are 12 inches square and probably made in China, although I bought them here in Bexhill (amazingly!).
For those of you in the UK, The Pier (or Pier 1 on the Continent) sell very similar chests but they are in dark wood. I liked these light paint-washed ones as they went well with my kitchen but I've never seen any more like this. I HAVE seen other ceramic chest of drawers on eBay though .... just search "ceramic drawers" !
(I thought you might like the title Amy !!!!!! LOL ) ;o))

The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

One of my favorite photographs of my daughter and granddaughter. It's a powerful image because of the frontal/equal perspective.
Altar Frontal.
Italy, mid-1700's.
The size and shape of this richly embroidered panel indicate that it was made as an antependium, or altar frontal, a textile that was placed across the front of an altar in a church. It was common for the decorations on these textiles to represent religious themes but this was not always the case. Here, the light colors and the elaborate curvilinear floral motifs lavishly embroidered over the surface of this textile are all characteristic of the rococo, an ornate and playful late Baroque style that developed in the eighteenth century. The central medallions, wreathed with gold embroidery, may have been taken from an earlier work.
