It’s That Time Again
This morning we visited the Fitzwilliam Museum.
You know what that means?
Right, it’s time to play Ugly Baby Jesus again. You know the rules. Just pick the most unflattering representation of the Christ Child and leave a comment telling us which one you think it is. Without further ado, here are the contenders.
Inappropriate Nibbling Baby Jesus
The Amazing Shrinking Baby Jesus
Since we are equal opportunity heretics, we also have the Bad Hair Day Virgin Mary.
So, what do you think?
While you are making up your mind here are a few more gems from the Fitz and the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.
A lovely collection of grotesque faces and expressions.
This painting is called The Worship of the Golden Calf.
There’s people feasting, there’s people dancing, there’s people playing music, there’s people getting naked. Where do I sign up? If the artist was trying to show how bad things get if you stop worshipping Jehovah, I don’t think he did very good job.
Battle swan vase.
Not made by De Morgan, though it looks like his style.
Saxon jewelry found in archeological digs near Cambridge.
The garnets in the cross probably came from Asia, so even after Britain was no longer part of the Roman Empire, trade routes still stretched for thousands of miles.
Falsies from Papua New Guinea.
Worn by men when they were playing female roles in ceremonies where genders were exchanged.
The Death of Lieutenant Munro.
Personally I’m siding with the big cat. I think Munro probably deserved it. As a wise man once said, Don’t Taunt The Tiger.

Junkie or Crib Death
That’s not Saxon jewellery, it’s a Saxon toast rack.
