Lessing Photo ArchiveA really good photographic resource - you can download a watermarked version (like the one on this post - see details of picture at the end of this post), purchase rights to an image or buy a print. Kat, do have a look at the Late Period cat with kitten!

The photo above is listed as an ivory boar, 4000-3800 BCE Predynastic, Nagada I. Measurements L: 10,5 cm H: 4,5 cm, from a private collection in France. It is almost certainly unprovenanced but it was so endearing that I had to post it!

Thank you for discovering this site! This statue reminds me of my heart, Lilith, The Justified.
