Cleveland, 2024
In the spring of 2025, Ron and Carol finally made their way to Cleveland to visit its wonderful art museum. It had been on their bucket list for a long time.
In 2012 a wrap-around building was constructed around the original 1916 building. (Similar to the British Museum.)
Ron and Carol in the University Circle with the museum’s 2012 museum façade behind them.
As usual, Carol finds a cat. Head of Sekhmet, Egypt, Dynasty 18.
A drum or gong stand. Cranes and Serpents, China, Waring States period.
Pair of Guardian Griffins, Northern Italy 1150-75 CE.
Pieta, ’Master of Rabenden’, Bavaria, 1515 CE. The expression in Mary’s face was moving.
Felline Incense Burner, Copper cast, Iran, 1150-1200 CE.
Monkey General Hanuman, Bronze, India, 1000 CE. A heroic figure in the Ramayana.
Statuette of a Woman: The Stargazer, 7 in., Marble, Eastern Turkey, 3000 BCE. Note the tiny eyes and ears. Ron liked this so much he ordered a copy.
