Pic o' the Day #1309- Dog Day Afternoon


Spent the afternoon yesterday with some very good old friends looking at the Pompeii exhibit currently at the Los Angeles Science Museum. It was a bit thin in the display, and a bit long in the "interactivities" department, but there were still a few nice bits. This one was a little marble sculpture of puppies that was thought to have been in a garden area. Very cute!

Who can resist sleeping puppies?
There was also a large marble wash basin with elegant sphinx supports and an unusual triangular base.



Detail of the sphinx support. Love those wings!

Another detail of the vegetal ornament on the plinth.
