Pathologic But It’s A Late 90′s Visual Novel

The great Chennakeshava Temple, Karnataka, India. It is filled with carvings and other art works of minute details . There Are 48 large pillars in the main hall. It took 103 years to construct this Temple ( not a surprising thing when you look at the carvings). It is painful to know that this Temple is not well recognized.

recurring thing in wtc: people being slotted in as replacements for absent people whose role they cant actually fill: e.g. keiichi with satoshi. kinzo with each successive beatrice represents this idea taken to its logical extreme

K, so a couple weeks ago I went on a lovely bus trip to the Art Institute of Chicago, and being the WWDITS hyperfixed and Nandor obsessed little nerd that I am, I was on the lookout for anything Persian related AND anything that felt like "Nandorcore" to me. :P

And I found a few things!!

The first pieces of pottery are actual Persian artifacts adorned with some interesting designs and illustrations and even some writing. (It's too bad they don't have translations for those poems though.) They are, judging by the info cards, a bit before Nandor's time, but they definitely still fit into the aesthetic I was hunting for (esp those two with horse illustrations!)

The last piece, a South Asian vase from Nepal, is NOT Persian, but the jewels and shiny copper covering give such an overall regal/royal vibe that came across as very Nandor-esque to me, so I included it in this set.

So anyway! Yeah! Just Nandor things.
