good morning everyone! I have a new all-time favorite work of art, and it’s this early 19thc ivory netsuke in the shape of an INCREDIBLY fat bird

This must’ve been a popular design for netsuke, because there’s a very similar one on display in the National Museum of Scotland:

Didrachm (reverse) - 8.6 grams silver - Eretria, Greece - 500-480 BCE 

Tetradrachm - 17.2 grams silver - Eretria, Greece - 500-490 BCE

Litra - .87 grams silver - Syracuse, Sicily - 460-450 BCE 

Socrates (Greek, 469–399 BCE) could have handled any of these coins and asked why they depicted an octopus — or what values they represented …

In the 5th century BCE the value of a litra was equivalent to the value of a pound of bronze, while the value of a didrachm (two drachmas) was considered to be about the value of two days wages for the average worker in antiquity.

The current (July 2020) value of bronze is $1.37 per pound, and value of silver is $206.51 per pound, or 45½ cents per gram. A pound is 453.592 grams.
