The earliest archaeological finds of silk in China comprise very small fragments of fabric that are datable to the 4th and 3rd millennia B.C. Silks with woven patterns are rarely preserved but can be documented about one thousand years later, primarily through ghost-like imprints on jade implements as well as bronze vessels and weapons. Before burial, these prestigious ceremonial objects were evidently wrapped in fragile but fugitive silk fabrics.Preserved near the edge of this jade blade is a three-dimensional pseudomorph (ìfalse formî) of a squared, tightly woven pattern, whose organic material has completely disintegrated and been replaced by minerals that duplicate the original textile structure. Under high magnification, this pattern displays a slight ìZî twist in the original filament thread, as characteristic of reeled silk that is simply woven (ìplain weave.î).Such indirect but clearly preserved evidence of Shang dynasty silk is extraoSpearhead late 2nd-early 1st millennium B.C.

Mali, Neolithic. 4 inches.Whole and peeled bamboo shoot on white backgroundSerpent ca. 1820 C. Baudouin French The serpent is a European bass brasswind instrument that was a predecessor of the tuba. Its snake-like form helps to position the finger holes within reach of the players hands. The serpentine qualities of this example, made by one of the most celebrated makers, are heightened by its zoomorphic paint scheme, a rare decorative embellishment for an instrument that was typically finished in black. The wear marks around its finger holes are the result of extensive use. They show how this serpent was held and also prove that its musical properties were as strong as its visual appeal. The serpent has a long association with church music. In France it was used to bolster and accompany plainsong from the late sixteenth century onwards. Its warm, resonant sound complemented male voices, and it found favor in English church bands during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Played alongside the cello and the bassoon, it provided vital accompaniment in churFragments of uniform pipe stemsOCARINA INSTRUMENTO MUSICAL.
