    Not casting in my lot, but boy, do these take me back. Had a number of pairs of Miss Aris gloves way back when you dressed in your best to go to church or into the big city & you were not completely dressed until you had your gloves on, winter & summer.

    As I recall, the virtue of many, if not all, Aris gloves was that they were washable.

    I would love to win these! I will want to pay postage. They look so soft. I haven't seen old Aris gloves in decades! :cat:

    I have been fascinated by the Dying Gaul statues ever since childhood. They are always such an impressive expression of a devastating moment and yet so beautiful.
    Yes, I was a funny child.:rolleyes:
    I have always had the same with Thorvaldsen's dying Swiss lion, and Stefano Maderno's body of St Cecilia. I have seen them in 'real life', a few Dying Gaul statues as well, and they are very emotive.
    For anyone who gets a chance to visit Rome, the modest Saint Cecilia convent and church in Trastevere is well worth a visit anyway. It is a place of tranquil beauty, away from the bustle of Rome.

    You will both be puzzled by the description of the intaglio in this ring:

    If you don't recognize him, you can find him here. Think the auction house got taken in by the hair, but don't know how they see a mustache.

    He probably shaved just before the picture was taken. The description had already been written. Don't you hate it when those Gauls do that?
