Enger-lund

I have returned to Nairobi after a week at a training course in England. I somehow resisted the urge to take snaps of people harassing the guards at Buckingham Palace, but here are a few shots I took at the British Museum:

In the Sainsbury Gallery of African Art, a chair made entirely from discarded AK-47s and other assault weapons.

Also in the Sainsbury Gallery: some striking bronzes from Nigeria.

Stela! Babylonian stela depicting either commerce or something nefarious involving weapons of mass destruction, depending on whether you are Condoleeza Rice.

Babylonian stela depicting either a pleasant outing or proving ancient linkages with al-Qaeda, depending on whether you are Donald Rumsfeld.
