Of course, the phallus-flashing guy gets all the headlines.
Well, it *is* quite a picturesque scene - one fitting #Neolithic iconographic conventions in the region & an apparently strong focus on male depictions (here's e.g. a comparable image from contemporary #GobekliTepe).

Luboš Plný is a Czech painter and conceptual artist, usually classified as a creator of art brut ("raw art" or "rough art"), a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture.
Plný is fascinated by medical iconography. An expert in the mysteries of anatomy, he devotes himself – when not drawing – to all sorts of performances where he confronts the limits of pain, which he experiences as an act of purification, transforming suffering into artistic work.
He incorporates organic materials, photographs from 19th century atlases, pictures of anatomical wax models, and clippings of models from fashion magazines in his work. These images form the foundation for his graphical compositions.

The #iconography indicates this #stone image to be the Snake God - #NaagDevta - but the presence of #Sun & #Moon is intriguing as that’s not how the Snake God is usually represented. Is this some other #God or any other form of the Snake God?@jhowesuk @LaliMAndrade @BL_VisualArts

I think Universal Share icon should be different from in-platform share icon. @LinkedIn Share icon always misdirect my expectations to share it with friends over whatsapp and messenger only to be disappointed. @jmspool @Facebook #iconography #semantics
Noticed Facebook in-app share icon is different from universally used share icon. The reason could be to avoid cognitive bias of icon vs usage expectation.
@jclaussftw have a look at this as well.
Gospel for Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Did Jesus get his power to cast out demons from the Prince of Demons? #gospel usccb.org/bible/readings…
//The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." (Mk 3:22) #Gospel
//Beelzebub or Beelzebul is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. The name Beelzebub is associated with the Canaanite god Baal. #demonology #religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub
