Know how they feel....

steepholm and I went to the British Musuem on Saturday, on our way to a wonderful dinner with fjm and chilperic, and I was very much taken with these figurines.



Amazing that the one with the shades (lapis lazuli eyes, in fact) is about 4000 BC, isn't it? I know what the dotted area really is, but it looks so like a bikini bottom to me.

( another picture from the BM - mystery spheres floating )

(Pictures with my mobile phone, so not great. I was thrilled to find I could get them onto my computer via bluetooth though - something I've never attempted before!)

(Oh, and I finished Cloud Atlas, and can see why people raved about it, despite having read it in the way most guaranteed to cause confusion and connection-missing.)
