(horse from Cornell's art collection at the Johnson Museum)
There is an exqusite little bowl at the Johnson Museum that I can't find a picture of, but they have this horse. Many hundreds of years old, saying it is red-baked and hard fired. That is not an entirely clear meaning to me, but I suspect it means that the horse was low-fired with maybe straw and wood until just hardened, so that it wouldn't fall apart under water, but not fired as high as a vessel used for food.
Gorgeous, eh?
The Johnson Museum has this top floor that is open but hard to get to, full of POTS and SCULPTURE, just amazing stuff, and the views over the hills, rivers and lakes!!! On the ground floor by the entrance is the 'Two Naked Guys Cafe', with coffee and sandwiches and two larger than life anatomically correct bronze sculptures of 2 naked men. This is ithaca.

I know someone who refuses to call that cafe by its proper name. This is also Ithaca, I guess.
