Valentine's Day Issue

Cupid wears a mask and points his arrow at a young couple. The boy thinks it’s a robbery and raises his hands. The girl, who clearly has eyes for the boy, seems puzzled by her friend’s reaction.

Great fun this was shooting with my brother and father (photograph by our father)

Shot in the Dark

Dragon's Dogma 2
Developed and published by Capcom

Made by a skillful artisan, this stocky jug has an outturned rim that stays within the limits of the body's maximum diameter, a plain, inwardly curving neck bordered with a carefully executed egg-and-dart band, a convex body with figures in high relief, and a broad foot, again decorated with an egg-and-dart pattern.' The wide handle with three vertical ribs starts from the rim and follows a smooth curve to join the body, attached by means of a decorative plate consisting of volutes and an upturned palmette with rounded leaves.

The complex composition on the body of the jug depicts two antithetical four-wheeled quadrigae drawn by winged horses. Each quadriga carries two figures. In front, there is a barefoot female in a long chiton stooping forward with arms bent at the elbows, holding the reins. Behind her on the first chariot, there is a male holding a bow and arrow seated on a stool with carved legs. He is young and beardless, and his curly hair, rising from the forehead and parted in the middle, resembles a hairstyle that became popular in the Greek world in the time of Alexander the Great. He wears a short chiton and shoes with upturned toes, Behind the charioteer of the other quadriga, a female figure is seated in a calm posture, holding a large branch with small, round fruits in one hand and a cup with a high neck and rounded body in the other. Like the charioteer, she is barefoot and wears a chiton reaching down to her feet. Her hair is braided. The fantastic elements (winged horses drawing chariots) clearly indicate a mythological scene, and the figures must be deities. Their specific attributes-bow and arrow, branch and cup-should identify them, but too little is known today of Thracian mythological beliefs to make this possible.

Thracian, 330-300 BCE, silver. Part of the Rogozen Treasure, a chance find with later excavations in the village of Rogozen, Vratsa Province, Bulgaria, in 1985-86.
