Northern Ireland"s Linen Biennale launched a few weeks ago. There's already been some lovely events with many more to come.
Flax & Linen are a huge part of our history. The skills, crafts, art & stories are all wonderful.
Find events & go to them.

The so-called ‘Tellus’ relief from the Ara Pacis is my all time favourite relief. The details are mesmerising with so much layered symbolism built in from the infant twins to the vegetation.

The Augustan style often calls for abundance to be on full show and this relief captures that idea in spades.

A skilful and jaw-dropping relief not to be missed!

@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons That's beautiful and teeming with detail.
Is the choice of vegetation deliberate and symbolic?

@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons Ah! That's fascinating. Thank you so much.
It's hard to make out the vegetation but it certainly looks like poppies to her right and grain possibly which would make sense if that's Ceres
