2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact

This artifact was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.

#TilesOnTuesday + #TwoForTuesday:

165 & 349 “Porcupine”

Usually these tile pairs are duplicate compositions, but not these! 👀

From the ongoing search for all the animals from the 420 original 1906 Moravian tile mosaics by Henry Mercer on the Pennsylvania Capitol floor.

Back in 1980, legendary actor Vincent Price recorded several 30-second television announcements in a bid by the Albuquerque Museum to gain more visitors and members. In an interview with the Albuquerque Journal at the time, Price said, “I am crazy about New Mexico. If I had lots of money, I would like to have a house like Georgia O'Keeffe's here.” Price served on the Arts and Crafts Board of the Interior Department and had a doctorate from the California College of Arts and Crafts.

Digging through our archives, we uncovered this fabulous promo video promoting the Albuquerque Museum Foundation—a non-profit that raises funds for the Albuquerque Museum. You can learn more about us, and as the King of Horror suggests, support us!

Adorable antique netsuke (made from wood? stained ivory?) representing the sparrow-girl of the Tongue-Cut Sparrow tale. If any of you have played Okami, this tale should be familiar (Sparrow-inn nestled in a bamboo grove anyone ;) ?).

The evil old woman of the tale is also part of the Suntory Museum of Art collection. Here she’s represented holding the basket full of demons which will soon be her downfall:

I am currently going through my first year of art school and it is the best that has happened to me. Art has always been a big part of my life, so when I starded tattooing during my third year of architecture I immediately knew where my life was really headed. Tattooing and art fill me up the right ways…
