Day 20 of our 30 day January Challenge was Pogonotrophy: the act of cultivating, or growing and grooming, a mustache, beard, sideburns or other facial hair. I was able to shave it down to 50 pogonotrophs, without splitting hairs.

“Lots of beats in the ancient near east section of the Met catalog. This is a silver head of a Sasanian king (Shapur II?) of the 4th century. I love that in addition to the stylized mustache and beard he’s rocking the chin braid finished in a kind of bow.” @rebecca_talks
