These itineraries are often referred by the term Silk routes but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, aCollection of various empty wooden sign isolated white background.

Baekje/Paekche was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, alongside Goguryeo and Silla. Located in southwestern Korea, the kingdom was foudned by Onjo, third son of Goguryeo's legendary founder Jumong, at Wiryeseong (modern-day southern Seoul). Baekje often fought and allied with the other kingdoms, and was at its peak power in the 4th century, when it controlled most of the western peninsula and perhaps even territories in China such as in Liaoxi. It was a significant sea power, and had relations with China and Japan; some have called Baekje the Phoenicia of East Asia. Baekje fell in 660 CE after being defeated by Silla and the Tang Dynasty, and was subsumed into Unified Silla.Decorative ceiling, 11th century, from Castillo Formós (Balaguer).

Terracotta; red-figure. Classical. VasesDisc: die or gaming piece () 3rd-2nd millennium B.C. Objects such as this one can present problems of interpretation when they are not preserved as part of a set. Gaming accessories are rarely retrieved together with game boards. A game of 58 holes was discovered in association with three clay plano-convex discs in the area of the Enlil temple at Nippur. The discs, with the rounded side marked and the flat side plain, were presumably cast to determine the movement of the pieces along the board. They would have indicated a different value depending on the side, marked or unmarked, they landed. This bone disk from Nippur with two double incised lines on the edge may also have been used as a die. A great variety of dice—with two, like here, four, or six sides—have been used with race games in the ancient Near East.If not a die, this disc could have been part of a set of playing pieces for the game of 20 squares, also attested at Nippur. The number of pieces for each player seems to vary Silver jewellery and pendants from the Kiev Hoard, found opposite St Michael's Monastery, Kiev.
