An illustration of a skunk, named Psydro, holding up a television in his hands. The tv has a purple and pink spiral visual on its screen, and Psydro has a ditzy, stupefied look to his face, electricity seeping out of his head. He's drooling and looking rather pleased to be showing you this tv. He says "Want to watch this show with me?" while he holds the television up to you.

Monkey Tail spiral design plate pottery, pigment c. 300-800 CE Maya culture Mexico #handmade #oneofakind #monkeytail #spiral #design #ancientart #pottery #Maya #mayanpottery #ancientpottery #mexico #mesoamerica #prehispanic #precolumbian #archeology #religion #culture #belief #transformation #art

A Mayan monkey tail spiral design, often found on Classic Period (300–850 AD) polychrome ceramics, primarily symbolizes the mythological transformation of the Hero Twins' older half-brothers into monkeys. It represents a blend of punishment, artistry, and the cyclical nature of life.
The Popol Vuh Transformation: According to the Maya creation epic, the Hero Twins (Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué) tricked their arrogant older brothers, Hun Batz and Hun Chuen, into climbing a tree. The tree grew impossibly high, and when they tried to climb down, their sashes turned into tails. The spiral tail is a direct reference to this transformation moment.
Following their transformation, the monkey brothers became the divine patrons of artists, scribes, musicians, and sculptors. Therefore, the motif often signifies creativity and the arts.
The spiral itself, sometimes called Hunab Ku in this context, represents the continuous movement of energy, transformation, and the balance of the cosmos.

Standing Horned Figure with Spiral at Center
carved jade
c. 4700-2500 BCE
Hongshan culture
China
Universal symbolism!
This image shows a rare Neolithic jade standing horned figure from the Hongshan Culture in China, dating approximately from 4700-2500 BCE.
The artifact is crafted from jade (nephrite), which was highly revered by the Hongshan people in northeastern China.
The stylized figure features a bovine or bull-like head with prominent horns, and a distinctive spiral motif carved into its torso.
It is a fascinating example of ritual jade carving from this period, although the exact function of such figures remains a subject of study.

Sunday is #Stunday! Phacelia imbricata (I hope that's the correct name; there are many variations) spotted along a trail while hiking. #ECK #Hiking #Wildflowers #Bloomscrolling #Spiral #FibonacciSequence #Design #WestCoastKin #MacroMonday

Closeup of a young wildflower that is shaped in a spiral, about to unfurl. This flower is also called the caterpillar phacelia because it resembles a fuzzy caterpillar curled up in a ball. The stem and flower buds are light green, and the actual flowers are a very pale pink with long stamen. Spotted in the Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo, California
