Greek, Attic Obverse, seated woman, holding openwork processional basket and accompanied by two other women, Eros, and satyrReverse, seated woman with standing servant, Eros, and satyrOpenwork baskets of this type holding implements of sacrifice were carried by women in religious processions. The presence of a satyr and Eros on both sides of this vase suggests that the festival being celebrated is the Anthesteria. On the second day of this important Attic celebration devoted to Dionysos, the god of wine, he was united in marriage in a secret ritual to the wife of a high honorary official of Athens. It was apparently also a popular time for weddings in the city, and the seated woman on the back of this vase may be a bride being prepared for marriage. The basket and details of jewelry are in slight relief and gilded.. Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup) 247344Terracotta Megarian bowl. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: h. 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm);d. 3 15/16 in. (10 cm). Date: ca. 150-75 B.C..The decorative motifs on this unglazed, hemispherical bowl are hallmarks of the workshop of C. Popilius: a row of beads below which are zones of garlands and shields; grape clusters and leaves; garlands suspended from bucrania interspersed with theatrical masks; and finally, a frieze of small satyr heads. A bowl signed by Popilius in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with similar decoration, contains an inscription indicating that it was made in central Italy, suggesting perhaps the bowl in this case was also manufactured in the same region.

Guinea Coast, Ghana, Asante, 19th century. Brass; overall: 3.6 x 5.3 cm (1 7/16 x 2 1/16 in.). The wealth and power of the Asante kingdom was derived primarily from its massive gold resources. Since at least 1600, small weights in brass and bronze were used to weight gold dust and nuggets. The royal court had the most elaborate store of weights, while commoners often had about a dozen. Their imagery falls into two broad cateogries: geometric and representational. The latter often refers to proverbs, which used judiciously, marked a wise person.Pitcher.

(36.83 x 25.88 x 25.88 cm), Stoneware, Vietnam, Ly dynasty, 11th-13th century, After more than 1,000 years of varying degrees of Chinese occupation, the people of northern Vietnam gained their independence and established a capital at present-day Hanoi. This period of freedom saw a flourishing of Vietnamese culture. The selective adoption of neighboring Chinese developments in ceramics created distinctly Vietnamese forms. The spontaneity of line, color, and pattern are hallmarks of Vietnamese ceramics, with each vessel bearing an interpretation by an individual artist.Ewer with Grotesque Decoration and Figures of Faith, Hope and Charity.

Dimensions: H. 6 1/2 in. (16.5 cm). Date: ca. 500 B.C.-A.D. 300.The function of these amusingly anthropomorphic vessels is made clear by traces of quicklime in their interiors. Along with spoons and other paraphernalia associated with the preparation of betel (areca) nuts, containers like these were part of an extensive surface find on the beach at Lamajang in northwestern Java. Throughout South and Southeast Asia the leaves of the betel plant, a type of pepper, are wrapped around a mixture of lime and the seed kernel of the betel palm and chewed. Quicklime is a natural antacid, and the concoction provides both a stimulant and a tonic.It is not known precisely when the practice of chewing betel began. An intriguing early reference, however, is found in the Chinese Shiji (Historical Records) written by Sima Qian during the first century B.C.

The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11).A partial reconstruction of the set's arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels--ESENCIERO DE ALBARRACIN.
