Happy #Halloween

This intaglio depicts a skeleton resting on an amphora and holding a jug. Such representations were intended to remind to enjoy life to the fullest since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.

This type of glass intaglio was hand-carved or engraved directly after the glass had cooled and solidified. It's possible that some 'blanks' were made, with the rough outline of a woman's profile, and details hand-carved to make each gem unique. 2/

I've driven by this slightly dilapidated building on Madison St in Oak Park a million times but just recently noticed what I think are Pittsburgh Corning intaglio glass blocks in the window openings.
Two-story flat-roofed red brick building. The door is boarded up and the tall vertical windows on the first floor are filled in with what I think are Intaglio glass blocks from Pittsburgh Corning. The second story windows are open and some of the glass is broken. Between floors is a band of thin vertical plastic maybe that might have contained a sign at some point. Article from Masonry Magazine (I think) about Intaglio glass blocks.

This #Hellenistic glass intaglio features the bust of a maenad wearing an ivy wreath on her head. Glass 'gems' were made as an affordable alternative to precious and semi-precious gemstones. But some glass was more expensive, hand-carved for fine, crisp details, as in this example. 🏺 1/

Oval glass paste intaglio engraved with the bust (her left profile) of a maenad - a female follower of Dionysos - wearing an ivy wreath. The glass is transparent, and a beautiful wine-purple color. The woman has her hair bound into a bun at the read, and she wears a fillet/diadem across her forehead. She's looking slightly upwards, and she wears a nebris (fawn skin) over her shoulder - we can see the hooves hanging down.

"In April, border wall contractors bulldozed through a large, well-marked earthen etching, known as the Las Playas Intaglio, that was believed to be at least 6,500 years old."

CBP it was "accidental"

Destruction of history by mindless racist trespassing people.

Samhain blessings on one and all. Lifting a glass to all we've lost this year - may the wren sing them on in peace and light. Remembering also that not all changes are endings - though this little bird has been renamed, he'll always be Troglodytes troglodytes to those who love him. 🦉🎃🍂🍁✨🌝🌞🕯️
Intaglio style pumpkin (carved from the outside in) showing a singing male wren surrounded by ivy leaves. The rest of the pumpkin is quite dark maroon, and the carved areas glow. The wren is Troglodytes troglodytes, none of this Nannus nonsense.

An ereader and a paperback both show the same cover. A silhouetted figure walks across rain-washed cobbles. Behind them is a winged serpent set into an intaglio such as you might find on a signet ring.

5115 N. Mont Clare, Chicago. This is part of St. Monica Parish.
One story building with a gently sloping gable roof. It is clad in yellow brick on both sides and has a large stone-clad section in the center, surrounding the entrance. The entrance is protected by a black metal canopy. Centered above the doors is a stylized stone cross? inside a circle that also contains stained glass. On both sides of the stone entrance surround are floor-to-ceiling panels of aqua-tinted wavy glass blocks containing crosses made from gray Intaglio blocks.

The intaglio is signed by none other than the gem engraver for the emperor Augustus, Dioskourides. Yes, we've heard his name before. If you want some background on him, see this gem on my Flickr account, which has his bio. 🏺 2/

Two identical prints on paper are laid on a hardwood floor. The image are of a black and white view of two sycamore trees and bushes outside a window. In the distance are fields and mountains framed by a pink sky with unsettling lenticular cloud hovering over the mountains.
