Clock cases made of gilt bronze – incorporating figures, animals, and motifs found in nature with porcelain flowers – were very popular in France during the mid-1700s. This example is notable for the distinctive design and execution of the gilt bronze. It is dominated by rockwork, splashing water, shells, and toadstools on a gnarled tree trunk with rough, decaying bark and branches. There are also somewhat awkward human and animal figures, all of different and incongruous scales.
Originaire de Madagascar, la grenouille mantelle dorée ressemble sous bien des aspects aux dendrobates – les grenouilles toxiques d’Amérique centrale et du Sud. "Mantella aurantiaca" est classée depuis 2004 comme espèce en danger critique d’extinction d’après l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature (UICN).
Une jolie couleur, un élevage en captivité plutôt facile, un animal rare ... Au moins 100 000 mantelles dorées auraient été prélevées en milieu naturel avant que ce commerce ne soit régulé (quotas, autorisations). Néanmoins, le commerce illégal persiste et le prélèvement en milieu naturel se poursuit. Autre menace : la réduction et la fragmentation de leur habitat. Les forêts de pandanus sont détruites pour le commerce du bois et les terres sont convoitées pour l’agriculture. Une autre cause de déclin serait l'introduction d'espèces exotiques sur l'île.
Sauvegarde :
L’élevage en captivité de l’espèce n’est pas difficile et permet de freiner le prélèvement en milieu naturel. De plus, une trentaine de parcs animaliers dans le monde participent au programme d’élevage mis en place. Ainsi, pour la première fois, le 19 mai 2017, 1500 mantelles dorées nées en captivité sont réintroduites dans la nature. Fait assez inhabituel, la compagnie Ambatovy, une société minière de Madagascar, finance le programme de conservation qui a permis ces réintroductions. Un exemple...

A clock I received from my Mom a very long time ago.
I was fascinated with it. The way the clock weight moved smoothly and silently around and back and forth.
It is a wind up version and over time, with moves from one house to another, it stopped working. ...Maybe I wound it a bit too much. I still have the key.
Every now and then, I think...well...I will find a clock maker to fix it. I still think I may.....

My wife's decorated mantelpiece. A study of color and shadow. See the star shape on the left? The TV screen on the bottom right could be photoshopped out, but it is so American to have the TV going all the time.

Ein Mantel, den der 2018 verstorbene Dichter, Philosoph und Liedermacher Wilhelm Raabe, genannt "Tiger Willi" getragen hat
A coat worn by the poet, philosopher and singer-songwriter Wilhelm Raabe, called "Tiger Willi" 1947-2018
I was given a tall, white poinsettia for Christmas. Over time its leaves fell off so now the "flowers" live on adorning my mantel.

Es ist furchtbar geworden! XD Aber ich musste es irgendwie trotzdem hochladen...ich bin vom Satan besessen. Bestimmt.
