This lovely ancient message, wrapped by a laurel wreath, was written down in Greek on a mosaic more than 1600 years ago in Halicarnassus, on the coast of modern-day Türkiye. #HappyNewYear2026

An Egyptian shabti (a figurine who acted as servant for a deceased to perform the manual labour in the afterlife), on display at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
Mathober Day 3: Polyhedron
This prompt is a hard one for me to choose for because I’ve beaded dozens of polyhedra over the years, perhaps more than a hundred. I decided to share my favorite of them all, which is also one of my largest.
I call this one a Crater Moon Beaded Bead.
The polyhedron on the outside surface is a truncated icosidodecahedron (4.6.10). The inside layer is (3.4.5.4), also known as the rhombicosadodecahedron.
You can read all about it and see step photos on my blog: https://gwenbeads.blogspot.com/2017/12/truncated-icosidodecahedron-in-beads.html?m=1
Have a great weekend people.
