What's your Avatar?
Just for fun, let's describe our Avatars.
Mine is a Thai temple guardian. Mark had used this one originally, and I coveted it. When he changed, I grabbed it. |

Mine, is one of the Warriors from a 'Benin bronze'.....decorative and symbollic bronze plaques that were attached to the walls of the King's Palace. A facinating culture.....often overlooked.
This particular 'individual' stood out ......a character I could relate to .....And no I do not have a dis-proportional sized head |

I guess the original is known to you.
The Sky Disc is one of the most important archaeological finds of the past century. The disk is attributed to a site near Nebra, Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, and associatively dated to c. 1600 BC. It has been associated with the Bronze Age Unetice culture. It displays the world's oldest known concrete depiction of astronomical phenomena. Its significance is reflected by its inclusion into the UNESCO's Memory of the World register in June 2013. More infos available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk |
