Excavated in Iran, Nishapur. CeramicsModel Mason's Float from the Foundation Deposit for Hatshepsut's Tomb ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom The location of tomb 20 in the Valley of the Kings was first recorded in 1799 by an expedition of artists and scientists organized by Napoleon. Most of the tomb was choked with debris and the accessible part was undecorated, so the owner remained unknown until the early twentieth century. In February 1903, while working with Theodore M. Davis, Howard Carter was clearing the entrance to the tomb, looking for evidence that would reveal the name of the king who had commissioned it. From previous work in the area, Carter had an inkling of the owner's identity, and his theory was confirmed when he discovered a single foundation deposit of model tools and small jars inscribed with the cartouche Maatkare, the coronation name of Hatshepsut (see 30.3.1-30.3.20). This model mason's float was among the objects discovered in the deposit.Foundation deposits often contained tools or models of tools tHarpoon 1500-500 B.C. India.

Museum: The Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, USA.Fragment of a Bowl 9th-10th century This object was excavated at the site of Qanat Tepe in Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. The term "Silk routes" often refers to these itineraries, but these 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 lesser-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental to adapting global cultural trends that led to the creation of a distinctive visual language. 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, coiSquare Plaque.
