Estonian artist Dolores Hoffmann nurses a hot cup of tea in front of a crackling log fire. The walls of her studio, in a low-ceilinged medieval building in central Tallinn, are covered in vibrant artworks and sketches produced and accumulated over her decades-long career. Now 86 years old, Hoffmann broke onto the Soviet Union’s art scene in the 1960s and would become best known for her work with brightly colored stained glass. But the picture she paints of her childhood is bleak.

III- Il nome del trono del Faraone | le pagine dei nostri libri

Il nome del trono veniva scelto al momento dell’incoronazione e dava il messaggio che il Faraone avrebbe regnato sul giunco e sull’ape quindi sull’Alto e sul Basso Egitto. Vicino al cartiglio che racchiudeva il nome prescelto venivano realizzati due glifi che rappresentavano appunto il simbolo dell’Alto Egitto, cioè un giunco in egiziano “nesut” e del Basso Egitto cioè un’ape in egiziano “bity” e per questo il nome del trono era detto il nesut-bity .

Il nesut-bity divenne comune solo con la fine della II dinastia e a partire dal Primo periodo intermedio tendeva anche a sostituire il nome di Horo nell’identificazione del sovrano.

हाथी /Elephant – Kaushal Kishore

 

 

हमने पाल रखे हैं

उम्मीदों को

हाथी की तरह…

पर पूंछ भी कब

निकल जाती है,

एहसास ही नहीं होता…

🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

We nurse 

our expectations 

like tending to an elephant, 

but we’re oblivious 

when even its tail 

slips away unnoticed…
