Description:
The dry, wrinkled skin, crow's feet and rheumy eyes of old women can be seen universally; yet the actual images and their meaning differ widely, and the very absence of these old women in certain settings also reveals both a discomfort with the aged and an ease in their invisibility. This is true in writing about art and often in the art itself. The physical markers of aging, even implications of death or the nearness of death, make many of these images of old women, haunting; in the 16th and 17th centuries, they become emblems of anger and avarice, though portraits of known elderly women are often created with a sense of awe, and in some cases, authority.
This book provides a frank examination of old women, from medieval "old wives" to contemporary reimaginations of shamans and witches and empowering self-portraits. Works from medieval Europe to colonial-time Polynesia, present West Africa, Japan, and the Americas, in a multiplicity of media are explored. These studies of varied representations of "old women" offer fresh perspectives and a dialogue about society's values and preconceptions regarding the "golden years" in different times and cultures. Images of old women may be the very opposite of what one considers the ideal, but this discussion makes these often overlooked images seem fresh and highlights their many positive associations.

I used these shelves for my espresso area and I love them. The unboxing experience was so nice, it caught me off guard! Everything felt very handcrafted and sturdy. The finish on the real wood was very nice. It came with everything I needed for installation, which was very convenient. Installation was super easy and everything fit together perfectly. I am very pleased with these shelves!

Finally, great shelves!
Color: Walnut - Warm Brown Woodgrain, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 4, Size: 30 inch
Having tried several shelves, this is by far the best product we have received. These shelves are real wood, well cut and prepared, with very easy installation and are quite stable. They look wonderful in the bedroom we purchased them for, and we like them so much that we have just order another set for another room. These shelves are well worth every penny, and came with a beautiful thank you card from the small business from whom we purchased them...we thank them!

Beautiful floating shelves. Worth the price.
Color: Honey Oak - Warm Amber Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 2, Size: 12 inch, Color: Honey Oak - Warm Amber Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 2, Size: 12 inch
Love these shelves. Hanging them was incredibly simple. They came with a level to really help ensure they were straight. Directions were precise and easy to understand. Took me longer to decide where and how I wanted to place them than it did to hang them. Literally took me 5 minutes to actually hang both shelves. They are smooth, easy to dust and look amazing in all lighting. They are packaged well so I had no missing pieces and no damage. Super strong hold and I love that the bottom of each shelf has a screw to secure the bracket to the shelf so they don't fall. Where I live, that is a major plus because we have a train that comes through regularly and they haven't loosened a bit. Super pleased with this product.

Absolutely love these floating shelves. We bought three 30" and two 12". The quality exceeded my expectations. They feel incredibly solid, well-made, and high end.
From the moment the package arrived, I could tell this company really cares about their product and their customers. Everything was packaged so elegantly and thoughtfully, with great attention to detail.
Installation was straightforward, and once mounted, the shelves looked absolutely beautiful.
What really stood out was the customer service. It was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced on Amazon. Super responsive, helpful, and genuinely caring. You can tell this is a company that takes pride in what they do.
Highly recommend these shelves to anyone looking for something stylish, durable, and backed by amazing customer support

good
Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White
I recently added this bathroom shelf, and it’s been a great upgrade for organizing my space. It was easy to install and feels sturdy enough to hold everyday essentials like toiletries, skincare products, and small containers without any issues.
The design is simple and clean, which helps it blend in nicely with the rest of the bathroom. It doesn’t take up much space but still provides enough storage to reduce clutter around the sink or shower area.
One thing I appreciate is how practical it is for small bathrooms—everything is within reach, and it makes the space feel more organized overall. As long as it’s installed properly, it holds up well and stays secure.
The only downside is that heavier items might not be ideal depending on the material, but for regular use, it does the job perfectly.
Overall, a functional and affordable solution if you’re looking to add extra storage and keep your bathroom tidy.
