I’d be interested in understanding the sculptures in the other corners. A little research is due...
The top left statue is based on Artemis with a Doe, also from the Louvre's collection.

On Fairytales, characters in design with toys, I’m guessing, Hansel carries a teddy bear and Gretal a doll.
Thank you, Awillow.
You always know so much about your scarves and their stories and the details of them. Very impressive to me. I feel like I select scarves by color and design, but half of the time don’t even know the artist’s name!

I think the inspiration for sculpture Bottom Left is Younger Centaur from the Furietti Centaurs.
“The Young Centaur, with a joyous face, is depicted with his right arm raised and holding a lagobolon (a stick used for hunting hares) in his left hand... A small Eros once rode the back of the centaur.”

The top right sculpture has me stumped tho’
Thank you so much, turfnsurf. I am happy you posted on this subject.
Oh yes - this is a good one! Totally overlooked it - Twins and same colorway!
Delighted to be your twin! Perhaps I’ll wear it in our honor next wknd when zooming through your area!
I've pretty much got the white flag out alreadyI hate to enable you, but the eye is pretty fab...
How "fortunate" that I'm skint at the moment and must leave the Eye of Sauron on my waitlist. You know, dress it up in poetic romance: should this dino be still waiting when the new leaves unfurl on my winter sere money tree, then it will be a sign that we are destined to be together .... 
Lovely selection for this week! Like the dominos especially!
Oh oh, I didn't notice any 80s!Hi, Sister!(Did you notice the 80s all over the background? I was thinking it was some kind of square jacquard, but instead digits everywhere like The Matrix!)
Must extract it and eyeball...I think I'll buy the tie. Higher chance of me wearing a tie than conquering that field of white...
Thank you for the compliment, Luvbolide. I am but a newbie in H waters and I have learnt much from scarfies here. I always go for colour and design first. Everything else is icing on the cake
My last contributions for this week.
Did you ever play with a spirograph kit? I loved it when I was a kid. I filled entire notebooks with the spiral designs. It was the perfect toy for me.

Vertige reminds me of the spirograph designs.
The spirograph won Toy of the Year award in 1967. Graphical computer games started to gain traction two decades later when the computer stopped being room-sized and became personal. Another 30 years later in 2017, H held an event Men Upside Down in Hongkong, and the featured motif was off the delightful videogame robot spider scarf Flamboyant Web, seen here in red CSGM 100 and a fuschia pocket square. I'm wearing The Game, another video game-inspired design, photo taken in front of a Pac Man arcade game machine. The Game has dice, match shapes-in-holes, coin slots, arcade game controls and ribbon cables, toy horses, wire frame models and a nod to Saut at the upper right corner.

I have never used this scarf, but I keep it because of the lovely pictures!

My "thing" recently has been combining 2 H scarves - more color, more length. Today, it's Marche du Zambeze and Cache-Cache Fleuri.
