[Leica] [OM] Ancient Sicilian Greek pottery

[Nathan Wajsman]

In a similar vein, I posted a photo of a 17th century painting from Valencia cathedral last week, with a very well-endowed Virgin Mary offering her breast (nipple and all) to baby Jesus. So far it has remained accessible, after about a week :-)

Cheers,
Nathan

Because of differences in attitudes towards display of the human body then vs. now, I was forced to add a modern fig-leaf to the version you can see here on flickr, lest I risk my entire body of work being deemed X-rated by some present-day Puritan.  For this, I apologize to both you and the ancient artist.
