Last week I did not finish any portraits and instead visited Bologna, where I was lucky to see these three lovely ancient playthings. Read through the thread to see what they are and where they are.
Ceramic articulated doll. Second half 4th century BC. Attic production. Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna.
Taka a look at Portrait No. 26, Ivory Jointed Doll, made a century or so later. https://t.co/lLFV1Eolg1
It feels very special to get a message like this from someone who has first-hand knowledge of a lovely plaything I have portrayed (Portrait No. 45 - Andelusia the Monkey) and is a big part of its story, and for them to share their enthusiasm and delight. Thank you!
@PofAPlaything@V_and_A I’m so overjoyed to find your project. I acquired the Reddaway monkeys when I was curator @ V&A and I’ll never forget that magic gift and those brothers’ world. Thank you for continuing the research into Andolie, there’s stories there.
@aliceemmasage@V_and_A What a lovely message, Alice, thank you for reading! I was so very taken by the monkeys, and by the whole world they created -- how wonderful you were part of that story! And yes, so many stories everywhere, and especially with Andolie, who was clearly a rather special person.
