Valentin de Boulogne (1591-1632) "The Fortune Teller" or "Fortune Teller with Soldiers" (c. 1620) Oil on canvas Tenebrism Located in the Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio, United States This painting is a play on the cheater being cheated and the corruption of Rome, with the man in the red hat stealing from the fortune teller's while a little girl steals his bag of coins. The cheater being cheated is a reference to deceit, which was a common trait of both men and women during the early 17th century in Rome. It was common to steal things such as the items shown in the painting. Rome was a very dangerous place with drunkards, sword/knife fights, and murder throughout the city.

Coffin of Ta-Mit

About 664-525 B.C.E (Dynasty 26)

Wood with linen, gesso, painted decoration

Egyptian

------------------------------------------

The coffin's front shows the sky goddess Nut (NOOT)-- also depicted on the coffin's interior--who protectively spreads her wings around Ta-Mit. Just below, a host of gods and goddesses watch Ta-Mit's heart being weighed against the feather of Maat. Just below the weighing of the heart, Ta-Mit's mummy reclines on a funerary couch. Rising from her body is a human-headed bird--her ba--one of the immortal forms of the soul.

Located at The Toledo Museum of Art

Uniform of Adjutant General from the Spanish Empire dated to 1855 on display at the Museum of the Army in Toeldo, Spain

The staff (Cuarto Militar) reporting directly to the Monarch was created on 15th of September 1855 and Francisco de Asís de Borbón, King Consort to Queen Isabella II and Duke of Cadiz, intervened directly in the design of the uniform for his adjutants.

This uniform belonged to Field Marshal Joaquin Bouligny y Fonseca.
