  • Lely's Venus (Aphrodite) in the British Museum, London. Here, the Godess Venus is surprised as she bathes, her water jar resting on her thigh. She crouches naked and attempts to cover herself with arms and hands. Naked Aphrodite was a popular subject with ancient Greek sculptors as she was with the Romans who called her Venus. This statue is a Roman copy of the Greek original, probably made in the 1st or 2nd century.

  • In a Brussels Flea Market, two curly-haired twin sisters wander about the cobbled square to play with a an empty push-chair at the Marché du Jeu de Balle, in the Marolles district of Belgium's capital city. In harsh sunlight the girls role-play at mothering, a gender conditioning that all children discover and these females are finding it natural to act as parents at such a young age. An antique doll sits looking in our direction, dressed in frilly clothes and all around is Chinese laquered furniture and other kids' toys like a hobby horse and a trike. At Place du Jeu de Balle Flea Market, you can find an extraordinary mix of household items, vintage clothes, crockery and furniture. This market is open daily from 6am to 2pm and is in the heart of the “Marolles” district, a working-class neighbourhood that was built in the 17th century.

  • Detail in the British Museum of an Assyrian relief. Assyrian kings competed to outdo each other with carved reliefs on interior walls. This tradition began with King Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859BC) at Nimrud. Nimrud is the later Arab name for the ancient Assyrian city originally known as Kalhu, located 30 kilometres (20 mi) south of the city of Mosul, and 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of the village of Selamiyah in the Nineveh plains in northern Mesopotamia.

  • A visitor bends to read the description for a pair of giant Assyrian protective spirits - an Ugallu - or great Lion, preceded by what may be a House God from about 700-692BC from the ancient city of Nineveh, an ancient Mesopotamian city located in modern day Iraq; it is on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, and was the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. It was the largest city in the world for some fifty years[1] until, after a bitter period of civil war in Assyria itself, it was sacked by an unusual coalition of former subject peoples, the Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Chaldeans, Scythians and Cimmerians in 612 BC.

  • Statue of a victorious athlete, a Roman version of a Greek bronze original of about 440-430BC, found by the Roman theatre at Vaison, France but perhaps from a nearby villa. Known as Diadoumensos, it represents a triumphant athlete tying a ribbon round his head. At Greek festivals, it was the custom to give red ribbons to the winners of games. He may symbolise athletic victories in general, rather than an individual.

  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points. Those that fail to win go home feeling empty-handed or perhaps cheated out of victory and glory. Those who win hang them on bedroom walls for years to come.

Among autumn leaves are someone's old possessions strewn across the gutter outside the thrift shop in East Dulwich in south London. Childrens's toys and a young person's treasured items seen opposite a green bin where Shoes and Textiles can be deposited. But a common problem is that charity donors leave unwanted things outside in the street, for others to come and rifle through, leaving a mess that's difficult for volunteers to clean up.
