Just wanted to post the pic that Alvaro sent because I thought it was really beautiful - it kind of reminds me of the paintings of Picasso with the rounded voluptuousness. This is a mosaic from Bishapur found at the Louvre. Another example of the west swallowing the treasures of the east. Of course I have to admit that I can't imagine present day Iran putting this up anywhere in the museums!! what a world.

Hmm, I hadn't heard this city's name before. This was a geography lesson too;-)
