Cedric Laquieze is an artist working out of Amsterdam. I like the idea that Cedric has taken the idea of taxidermy art, and added a different twist to it. The idea of skeleton is a clear link to death, but with the flowers adorning them the idea seems to be softened. It’s also a stronger connection to life; if we did not go through such trouble to embalm and preserve, the bodies we bury would give way to other life such as flowers. (Via)

Group of Mahdist Sufi Moslem Weapons
- Dated: circa 1880
- Culture: Sudanese
This group of items originates from the Islamic Mahdist movement of the mid-late 19th century, where Sufi warriors or ‘Ansar’ rose up against the British and Egyptian rulers in a form of Jihad or Holy War.
The Anglo-Sudan War is most famous for the death of General Gordon on the steps of Khartoum Palace. Typically weapons from this context are inscribed with Arabic script in Sudanese form ‘Thuluth’, and the use of lizard and crocodile skin is frequently found associated with scabbards and mounts.
The two large battle axes found here are heavy and solid fighting items, traces of silver patterning remain to the heads, both feature a solid iron topspike, and also a spiked steel butt making these weapons truly formidable. One haft is fully mounted with yellow crocodile skin, the other with some remnants of lizard.
