— Reyna N.A., from All Summer Longing

Antiques at Home, 1989

Captured by Alexander Lavrentyev, Bolshoi Theatre 2012.

A woman’s “poesy ring” with initials, from 1592, made of gold and rock crystal. On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed, “The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” From a love token to a memorial/ mourning ring, a fate that often befell many wives or mistresses of sailors.
