ABOVE: Fragment of a Greek funerary stele, c. 470-460 BCE, possibly Persephone and her mother Demeter
holding mushrooms
Its meaning is unknown, but I like it: Wikiepeida article on this stele, image at the Louvre Museum, who say they're holding possibly poppies, pomegranates, or sacks of grain? They sure look more like mushrooms to me.

They kind of open and close the new movie "The Beguiled."
Mushrooms, or Demeter & Persephone?

The former.
Mushrooms quite definetly. I have some pottery mushrooms. Middle son broke one and insisted on making one at school when he had the chance to replace it. Guess which one I treasure most now?

CATHY: Aw... maybe one day post a photo of the treasured Replacement Mushroom?
