The Bucca's Stone

In Cornwall the shadow of the old gods is never far away. In the mines, offerings would be left to the Bucca and his faery kin "The Knockers", in the fields he stood as a scarecrow by day but by night lead the "Pisky" revels, but as lord of the seas and the storms he took his most majestic form.

Legend has it he was chased out of Newlyn by Paul Choir. Before he took to the air he chanted his name three times...BUCCA, BUCCA, BUCCA! But in the commotion he dropped his nets. As living proof of this take his nets still mark some of the stones around these parts...and this is one of them

from the Museum of Magic and Folklore, Aberfala, Kernow.

For #FrockFriday, this was definitely one of the highlights of the #KimonoStyle exhibition at The Met:

Man's Under Kimono (Nagajuban) with Spider and Spiderweb Taisho (1912-26) or Showa (1926-89) period, 1920s-30s Crepe silk (chirimen) with freehand paste-resist dyeing (yüzen) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

"Worn under an outer garment or at home, the nagajuban frequently bore eye-catching designs that would be seen only by family and friends. The large spider perched on the right shoulder of the crepe silk robe, whose back is covered with a web against gray clouds, exemplifies such a decoration. The pattern could be a reference to Tsuchigumo [Yōkai], a monstrous, shape-shifting spider featured in Japanese myths and legends as well as in Noh and Kabuki plays. The dramatic, supernatural subject was also featured in ukiyo-e prints, which might have inspired this nagajuban's composition."

If any of you rad folks are around New Bedford, MA and are into cryptids, folklore, or the ocean and all the weird and wonderful beasties residing in it then be sure to check out the new Sea Monsters: Real and Imagined exhibit at the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center!

And if you look closely you might even see one of my Drawtober cryptid illustrations as part of a display...

I just yoinked this off a video they posted of the exhibit so it’s a lousy picture—but I suppose that is kinda appropriate for a cryptid!

Here’s a better image of the artwork though:

The Koakun-klun!

Thomas Crawford (1814-1857) "The Babes in the Wood" Marble Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, United States The sculpture is was inspired by an old English ballad of the same title, which describes the abandonment and death of an orphaned boy and his younger sister. Clasped in each other’s arms on the floor of a forest, they pass serenely into eternal slumber—a state underscored by their tranquil features. The painstakingly carved leaves and acorns allude to the part of the story in which a robin covers the children with foliage as a substitute for a proper burial.
