Last of the pics from Provence
On our last full day in France it rained horribly, so we went to the Musee Lapidaire. It has the sculptures from the Calvet Museuum collection. It's a cute wee place, with a fascinating collection, and a sense of intimacy with the art. I don't know if I can make more sense about it than that. I think it was that a lot of it was freestanding rather than in big full-wall cases.
Anyway. Here are a few of my favourite shots.
Krater, if memory serves.
And again. Belly amphora, in fact. Thanks Sass!
A cup, although I can't recall what type. I'm pretty sure it's not an oinoche. Skyphos - thank you Anne and Sass.
Cupid chasing a Grasshopper
A very old Christian tombstone with some fascinating imagery.
Rhyton
Monster (I've never seen anything like this anywhere else!)
And one last one to finish up. I am not above using small children for photos if it's convenient.
