The Frilled Shark is a deep-water shark that sports many “primitive” features,  leading it to be dubbed a living fossil.  Its name comes from the frilled appearance of its six pairs of gill slits.  Visible are its approximately 300 teeth,  with notable needle-like cusps and cusplets,  suited for feeding on squid.  Unlike most sharks,  it is unique in having a long,  slender,  eel-like body,  and unusual front-facing jaws,  as opposed to the underslung jaws of most shark species.

རེའུ་མིག། བྲིས་ཐང་སྣ་ཚོགས།. Astrological Chart and Protective Talisman, Tibet. 1800s. 

As both an instructional tool and auspicious talisman the stylized astrological chart brings good fortune to all those who see, display or possess it. The painting is a congregation of astrological, calendar and primary element symbols.

Gustave Courbet, Le Sommeil,1866.

Le Sommeil [The Sleepers], which depicts two women entwined in a post-coital embrace, caused a stir when it was first shown in the 1870s. The police were called in, and the painting was not shown again until the 1980s. But its brief showing had an influence on a number of contemporary artists, and helped challenge the taboos associated with lesbian relationships. For modern audiences it’s a good reminder that people in the 19th century were not ignorant of lesbian relationships, as we tend to believe. And it’s pretty damn sexy, don’t you think?

They called the police on this lesbian painting.
