Last of the pics from Provence

[debitha]

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.

I did, but it was over 10 years ago, so I excuse myself for being rusty. :oP

I knew you guys would be able to tell me, anyway.
