Today is the final day of #Hedgehog week, so here is another one of our favourite hedgehogs from our collection. It's from ancient Egypt c. 1500 BC, where hedgehogs are thought to have symbolised rebirth 🦔
This is fabulous! It doesn't mention demons (well, can't have it all ;-), but what a great description and idea!
Love this! The many stories within a stela…#ThingsThatTalk @RM_Oudheden thingsthattalk.net/t/ttt:Tzu…

The German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer died #OTD in 1528.
His Rhinocerus print had a profound influence on the arts & was widely copied. 🦏It is not an accurate representation, though it was regarded as such throughout Europe into the late 18th c.
Print, 1515.

Our #objectoftheday is this fragment of a faience bowl, of unknown provenance. The decoration features a uraeus (rearing cobra) in front of what appears to be a cabin on a boat - we'd love to hear if people know of examples of Egyptian objects with a similar motif!

Not exactly ancient Egyptian, but I think the demons, daemons, and even some of the deities would enjoy “Creep” Medieval style… youtu.be/TeFiIjMIlRw
