I love reading the tags on the polls, the time period one is just people pointing out different definitions for the chronological framework (also fyi, Viking Age is not part of the medieval period where I’m studying!), and the underrated life poll is people just chanting or info bombing about mostly lichen (and I’m SO here for it!!)

Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces
From the John Paul Getty Museum:
The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.
The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.
Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.

Statuette of Apollo (100 BCE – 1 BCE)
Getty Villa, Gallery 216, Roman Treasury
Apollo stands in an s -shaped pose, inspired by the late Classical work of the Greek sculptor Praxiteles. The sculptor presents the harmony of features in the human body, emphasizing Apollo's youthful, muscular torso by carefully framing it with drapery. A dynamic, sinuous line extends from Apollo's upraised arm through his torso and left leg, on which he rests his weight. Apollo's long hair hangs loosely around his head and neck.
