# The Forgotten Knight 
Once a mighty warrior, abandoned by time but not by nature. His armor, entwined with crimson roses, stands as a testament to battles long past. No longer does he hear the clash of swords, only the whisper of petals in the wind. A silent guardian, a symbol of eternal memory and unfulfilled duty.

⛨ The Forgotten Knight ⛨

..You should always keep your eyes open at "the Fallen Pigeon"! Oh no, it's not about inhospitality at all! I assure you, if you're lucky enough to find shelter somewhere during your grueling journey to the Peak of the Winds, it's there. A fallen pigeon will shelter all the suffering under its wing, yes, yes! But the "sufferers" in those parts are all rascals and adventurers, so you'll have to live among a very diverse, and I must say deeply unpolished public ..

– Just imagine, - the old bard continued with a hitch. - Under one roof, the scum from the very bottom of society are bizarrely intertwined with local princes, pilgrims and troubadours – not every Mass on All Saints' Day can boast of such a unity of souls, right?

– And the representatives of the local city guards do not disdain to throw dice with cheaters, because in any case they win: they either take the bet for themselves or throw you to freeze your ass for the night in the punishment cell for cheating..

The tavern "Under the Falling Pigeon"

The caduceus is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology and consequently by Hermes Trismegistus in Greco-Egyptian mythology. The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead, and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves.

**Red‑Gold Dragon vs. Blue‑Silver Dragon**

The Red‑Gold Dragon and the Blue‑Silver Dragon, collectively classified as *Draconis geminiflare*, are legendary twin forces said to have emerged during the late Warring States period. Ancient astronomers believed their intertwined forms mirrored a rare celestial phenomenon, two comet tails crossing in the night sky, interpreted as a sign of cosmic recalibration.

Though often depicted in eternal combat, scholars argue their clash was never about dominance. Instead, each dragon embodied a natural principle: ignition and stillness, eruption and clarity. Their unexpected purpose was pedagogical. Monks studying their mythic duel used the dragons’ mirrored movements to teach balance, how opposing energies can create harmony when neither seeks victory.

Even today, artisans echo their spirals in pottery, dance, and martial forms, preserving the lesson hidden within their legendary struggle.

Fire and Ice Dragon Duel

This marble carving is a **heraldic coat of arms (stemma)** located inside the Siena Cathedral. The shield prominently features a **lion in a rampant pose**, a common symbol representing strength, courage, and authority. Such emblems were used to identify noble families, bishops, or important patrons associated with the cathedral.

These coats of arms were typically installed on altars, chapels, or architectural elements to signify **patronage and contribution**. Wealthy families or church officials who funded construction, decoration, or restoration works were often granted the privilege of displaying their crest within the cathedral.

Beyond decoration, the carving reflects Siena’s historical social and political structure, where religion, power, and family identity were closely intertwined. Today, these heraldic symbols serve as historical markers, offering insight into the individuals and families who played a significant role in shaping the cathedral’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.

Decorative hexagon with intertwined K

創作於8世紀奈良時代，是日本代表性的寫實木心乾漆造佛像名品。此像高209公分，以慈悲容貌著稱，曾被藝術史家費諾羅薩譽為「日本第一」並推動保存。它原供奉於大神神社（大御輪寺），因明治時代「神佛分離」政策遷至聖林寺，至今仍以其莊嚴美感與三輪山信仰相結合。
Created in the 8th century during the Nara period, this statue is a renowned masterpiece of realistic hollow-core lacquer sculpture in Japan. Standing 209 centimeters tall, it is celebrated for its compassionate expression. The art historian Ernest Fenollosa praised it as "the finest in Japan" and advocated for its preservation. Originally enshrined at the Ōmiwa Shrine (Daigorin-ji), it was relocated to Seirin-ji due to the "separation of Shinto and Buddhism" policy during the Meiji era. To this day, it continues to embody solemn beauty, intertwined with the sacred beliefs of Mount Miwa.

Octofoil brooch with fleur-de-lis

Polychrome bowl decorated with a black perimeter band followed by a sequence of 10 glyphs and four figures arranged alternately. The two jaguars have spotted skin with circles and dots, eyes with spiral irises, tails pointing upwards, and what appears to be a water lily flower or an enema bulb on their heads. The  two black figures have protruding lips, bodies painted with black stripes (probably imitating hair), and headdresses with three scrolls or feathers. They wear a red loincloth knotted at the back. All hold small bowls in their hands, and between them, alternately, are red jars from which red scrolls emerge. Below the main scene is a decorative band with a phytomorphic design consisting of two intertwined bands, possibly coiled stems. Small black and red bulbs or buds protrude, alternating.

The piece of jewellery under consideration is a large gold ring in the shape of two intertwined snakes.
The ring was crafted in a distinctive meandering shape and featured snake heads at the ends as decorative embellishments. The presence of small knots is observable at the points where the meanders intersect. The scales of the plastic snake heads have been meticulously crafted to display a realism in their appearance. In the area where the ocular cavities should be located, it is presumed that gemstones or glass were inserted.

Brooches were an essential part of high and late medieval fashion and fulfilled two significant functions. The smaller versions were used to close the neckline of the undergarment or dress, while the larger, more sturdy clasps were used to fasten the cloak either on the shoulder or at the front of the chest.
