This particular bracket is made of terracotta and may have been a model for a woodcarver or a bronze caster that was later gilded and mounted for hanging. A dragon with outstretched wings is carved underneath the top, its long tail entwined around openwork C and inverted C-scrolls. This bracket was part of the model collection of woodwork, paneling and seat furniture of Maison Leys, a successful decorating business, located at the Place de la Madeleine in Paris.

Ear Ornament 317652Rosette pendant ca. 9th century B.C. Iran This circular shaped pendant is decorated with a repoussé design of a rosette with ten petals and small circles. There is a loop for attachment at the top. It is one of the thousands of artifacts of terracotta, bronze, iron, gold, silver, and ivory which were recovered from monumental buildings at the site of Hasanlu in northwestern Iran. Hasanlu is best known for its early first-millennium B.C. occupation. At that time, it was a major local center of commerce and artistic production with close ties to other political and creative centers of the Near East. In 1957, the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania initiated large-scale excavations at the site with the Iranian Archaeological Service. The Metropolitan Museum of Art co-sponsored the excavations from 1959 to 1977 and received a share of the finds. Many of these objects are now on display in the Museum.

By the 1870s, Japonisme had become as de rigeur in jewelry as it was in ceramics, silver, furnishings, fashion, and gardens. Especially admired was shakudo, a technique in which colored metals such as gold, silver, and copper are inlaid into a dark patinated ground to resemble black lacquer. The present parure of matched jewelry appears to have been constructed in England from imported pieces of shakudo. This extensive and very fashionable suite is housed in a specially-fitted leather case stamped by the elite London firm Hunt & Roskell, silversmiths and jewelers to Queen Victoria..
