Another vintage print, I think from 1908? But for being an Egyptian, she's awfully pale. She makes ME look like Miss Hawaiian Tropic!

The monkey has resource guarding issues. Better call the Monkey Whisperer. BTW, the old book is Don Juan by Lord Byron.

Monkeys! I'd love to find something with Hanuman the Hindi Monkey God, just because I love the phrase "Hindu Monkey God."

Having a house that rivals the Addam's Family in it's absurdities has it's good points. I can do a post about far away lands by just visiting the living room. :)
I have a lot of weird collections/obsessions. Black cats, roosters (and chickens & peeps), monkeys, 1940s pinup art, vintage advertising, and ancient ethnicities & mythologies. My living room was initially all ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian, but recently I've been picking up other items with Chinese, Indian, Moroccan and African vibes.
Yep. Our house is a museum, when people come to see 'em.
