#stone
Irregular rectangular-sided monument recording Esarhaddon's restoration of Babylon; possibly black basalt; carved symbols on the upper surface. Height 8.5 inches.
The stone is not local to Mesopotamia. The irregular shape of the object suggests that it was cut from a naturally rounded piece of stone. The inscription is incomplete.
Neo-Assyrian era, c. 670 BCE, Mesopotamia, Iraq. (The British Museum, London) [+]

Fig House by Stemmer Rodrigues appears supported by a natural rock formation
Large stones conceal a single column supporting the upper level of this concrete house near Porto Alegre, Brazil, configured to protect the roots of a centennial fig tree.
Designed by local architects Stemmer Rodrigues, the Casa Figueira – or Fig House – is a modernist-style concrete house in Eldorado do Sul, a residential community that sits across the Guaiaba Lake from Porto Alegre.
Fig House looks as if it is supported by natural stones
The home's main feature is the overhanging second floor, which defines the driveway and forms a passage through to the back yard.
This windowless concrete volume is made to appear as if supported by natural stones that contrast the facade's smooth finish.
Sliding glass walls offer views towards a nearby canal
This formation conceals a single column, which was placed to avoid disrupting the roots of a nearby fig tree that lends the house its name.
"The composition of the front facade is a harmony of contrasts between the rigidity of the concrete and the large rock that simulates the support of the volume and hides the pillar, paying homage to a strong element of the regional landscape," explained Stemmer Rodrigues.
The features minimal interiors to complement its modernist form
The only other elements visible on the facade are the front door, which is marked by a curved concrete wall, and the wooden garage door.
On the ground floor, Stemmer Rodrigues laid out an open-concept kitchen, living and dining room to face views of the tranquil waterfront beyond the edge of the property.
"The facade facing the street was designed to block the south wind, and the views are therefore turned to the opposite direction, maximising the contact with the canal water, energy efficiency, and privacy," the architects said.
Two sides of this volume are enclosed with full-height sliding glass walls. Immediately outside of them, an overhanging weathered steel canopy avoids the sun directly hitting the glazed surfaces.
Landscaping leads down to a boat dock on the canal
The upper level runs parallel to the waterfront, and contains four bedrooms. The north side of the home, facing away from the street, is clad in ipe – a traditional Brazilian wood prized for its vibrant colour and durability.
A few steps away from the main building is a pavilion containing a secondary kitchen and dining area. This stone building is slightly lower than the rest of the property and is fronted by a walkway leading to a boat launch.
The property's two pavilions face each other across the garden
Porto Alegre is the capital of the Brazilian province of Rio Grande do Sul. Other projects in the area include a house for a yoga teacher also by Stemmer Rodrigues, and a house for a car collector featuring a glass-bottomed pool that offers views of the garage below.

Due to all kinds of trouble I have been a bit handicapped, and for the last week or so I have had a hard time using my right hand. So this one page comic is made solely with my left hand! I have realised that I am terribly unambidextrous and it has been a bit of a fight, but also interesting. After almost six month of being hindered by some sort of gout or other arthritis, I have at least learned some new motor skills and I have also been reading a lot... among the reading you will find the Quran which inspired this comic page.
