Terracotta stirrup jar ca. 1400-1050 B.C. Mycenaean The stirrup jar is one of the most common Mycenaean shapes used to contain liquids such as oil or wine.. Terracotta stirrup jar 252899 Mycenaean, Terracotta stirrup jar, ca. 14001050 B.C., Terracotta, H. 13 7/8 in. (35.2 cm) Diameter 12 1/8 in. (20.8 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Gift of the Greek Government, 1927 (27.120.1)Covered Jar (Hu) 2nd-1st century B.C. China This mortuary vessel is decorated with the animated drama of a blue beast with bared fangs lunging at a mounted archer. Roaming the other side of the hu is a long striding tiger. Executed with brilliant pigments and confident black brushstrokes, the decoration perfectly expresses the boldly assertive character of the Western Han dynasty and is, moreover, one of the finest known examples of Han painting. The iconography is celestial: the blue beast represents the star Sirius, known in China as the Heavenly Wolf, and the archer is a personification of the adjoining constellation, Bow, whose arrow always points directly at the Wolf. Their companion on the other side is the White Tiger, cosmological symbol of the West, whose domain in the nightly sky borders that of the Wolf and the Bow.The Wolf is a baleful star. He governs thievery and looting and represents the Xiongnu tribes (Huns) who warred with the Han people on the northwestern borders ofBeardman or Bellarmine jug 17th century German, Cologne-Frechen The motif of a bearded face is carved in low relief at the neck of this jug.

Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Jar ca. 7th century B.C. Iran This globular jar has a flat base and a flaring rim. It is made of an orange clay using a potters wheel and its exterior surface has been burnished. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort. The jar was found in the columned hall in what has been identified as a ‘squatters level. Archaeologists use the term ‘squatting to refer to the re-occupation of a sitJug 480-400 B.C. Cypriot White horizontal bands with fleur-de-lys ornament.. Jug. Cypriot. 480-400 B.C.. Terracotta.

Sasanian This small jar is made of a buff ware, covered with a burnished red slip and decorated with incised wavy lines and vertical strokes.The small town and fortress of Qasr-i Abu Nasr is located near Shiraz in southern Iran at a strategic point at the intersection of defensive mountains, available water sources, and along roads entering the Shiraz plain. The site was excavated by archaeologists from The Metropolitan Museum of Art for three seasons from 1932-1935. The town was occupied, at least intermittently, from the Parthian period (3rd century B.C.-3rd century A.D.) to the Muzaffarid period (13th-14th century A.D.). The major occupation, including the extensive fortress, dates to the Late Sasanian period (6th-7th century A.D.).The eastern part of Qasr-i Abu Nasr is a raised plateau of a roughly triangular shape. During the Sasanian period the plateau was fortified by a wall and densely occupied. Archaeological finds from the fortress show a wide ranEwer 12th-13th century While this small earthenware ewer excavated from Nishapur is less colorful than the famous glazed ceramics found at the same site, it is no less vibrant in terms of its decorative program. Most of the preserved surface is covered with registers containing repeat patterns, each one different from the others. In the central register, birds and seated men alternate with large tear-drop shapes, all on a stippled ground. These patterns were made by hemispherical molds in which the body of this vessel was cast. The use of molds not only enabled Nishapurs potters to easily make intricate surface decorations, but the technique also produced motifs that stood out in relief, creating a surface texture similar to cast or hammered metalwork..

China Large and small two-handled jars, pitchers, bowls, and beakers are the most common forms produced in the Machang phase of the Majiayao (or Gansu Yangshao) culture. Decorative motifs on Machang-period wares are largely geometric and include curvilinear patterns and cross-hatching, and lozenges, triangles, circles, and squares in an endless array of combinations. The zoomorphic figure in the center of this jar is one of the more distinctive images in the Machang vocabulary. Four limbs, bent in the center, are attached to a long torso, capped by a small head. Feathers or some other type of tufting are found at the end of the upper limbs and at the joints of all four appendages. These enigmatic motifs are variously interpreted: they are sometimes explained as abstract representations of natural creatures such as frogs; other hypotheses suggest that they are symbolic of either the costume worn by a shaman or the transformation he undergoes Terracotta globular flask ca. 1400-1050 B.C.

The flask-shaped bottle—a less-common vessel shape in Moche ceramics—includes a stirrup-spout, a characteristic feature of Moche bottles. So-called for their formal resemblance to stirrups, a device used to anchor a foot to the saddle of a horse (although entirely unrelated to that function), such spouts are usually located at the top of the vessel’s body. On this bottle, the stirrup-spout is eccentrically located to the side, thereby permitting the placement of a central, cylindrical, sealed element that resembles a bottle spout but does not serve as one (Donnan and McClelland, 1999).
