High demand for shawabtys in the Late Period, a time when as many as 400 or more shawabtys were placed in the tomb with the deceased, gave rise to a specialized container for storing them: the shawabty box. This example is inscribed for the lady of the house, Ditamenpaankh, and was probably one of a pair originally made for her. The single-masted boat on the box's lid is perhaps an allusion to the pilgrimage of the deceased to the holy city of Abydos, the cult city of Osiris, king of the dead.

The stylized animals and conventional motifs found on bronze vessels are also encountered in carved bone suggesting similar emblematic purposes. All of these items were likely personal adornments rather than ceremonial objects.Faience amulet of Mut with double crown 304-30 B.C. Egyptian, Ptolemaic Amulet, Isis..

These falcon-headed coffins do not contain actual mummies but symbolic Osiris mummies stuffed with grain and sand. The falcon head on the coffins and the hieroglyphic text on the painted lid indicate they are associated with the funerary deity Ptah-Sokar-Osiris.Such coffins and 'mummies' were prepared and buried in annual rites at certain centers as part of the mysteries of Osiris. Subsequent germination of the grain would symbolize the possibility of new life offered by Osiris.Both this example and acc. no. 58.98a-d belong to a typological group, although this group cannot at this time be associated with any particular site.Dagger, 1900s.

UnknownBronze and iron knife late 12th century B.C. Cypriot. Bronze and iron knife 244235Sistrum with a dedication referring to a king 332-30 B.C. Ptolemaic Period The sistrum was a a sort of rattle, its rustling sound associated in particular with great female goddesses, for instance Tefnut, Hathor, Isis, or Bastet.Like all Egyptian sistra, this one has the emblem of Hathor/Bat, the frontal head of a female with cow ears, at the juncture of the upper part and the handle. Above the goddess's head, a naos or shrine forms the sound-box. The naos in this instance is not openwork, so that disks could not be strung between the sides of the naos as they usually were. Three holes are provided on each side for the crossbars, however, so possibly the movement of the crossbars within the soundbox created a desirable sound. Beneath the Hathor emblem are columns of inscription on either side of the handle. Although very difficult to deipher owning to pits and cracks, the insciption includes reference to shaking the sistrum for a goddess - possibly Hathor is named.

Statuette of a man with vessel 246406Face Beaker 14th-early 16th century Inca Beakers with human faces on one side made of precious metals were worked in Peru from about the ninth to the early sixteenth century. Those with pronounced noses, resembling bird beaks, are said to have been found in many parts along the Central and South Coasts. Because none were excavated by archaeologists, their cultural attribution is uncertain. In the literature they are variously called Chimú, Chincha, Ica, and Inca. The more naturalistic rendering of the facial features on Chimú beakers, particularly the eyes and noses, would argue against their attribution to that culture. The beakers were made in different sizes, from two to sixteen inches in height. Some are straight-sided, while others have flared bases and stepped tops. Many were made from a single sheet of silver by hammering the metal over carved wood molds that are flat in back and held in place by a wedge during hammering; others have soldered seams along the back and bottom.

Pyxis fragment 325758Hand Coil, 1800s. Nigeria, Benin Kingdom, Ẹdo peoples, members of the Igun Eronmwon (royal brasscasters) guild. Copper alloy; diameter: 11.5 cm (4 1/2 in.). While this looks like a bracelet, it wasnt worn around a wrist. A chief or titleholder grasped this “hand coil” vertically during the annual Igu? festival, during which such men reaffirm their relationship to the ?ba, whose mystical powers are strengthened. An image of a mans head caps each end of the thick, twisted metal. Repeated human touch rubbed the undecorated lengths bright and shiny. Though small, the coils detail is enormous: to capture it, the artist incised the designs in wax during the casting process. They show these men are elites, with necklaces, caps, and whisker-like facial markings.Peg for a Patten-type Shoe, c 1800s.

Third Intermediate Period See 30.3.26.1a, b. Worker Shabti of Nany 625728The Goddess Taweret with a Feline Head. Dimensions: H. 6.4 cm (2 1/2 in); w. 2 cm (13/16 in); d. 2.3 cm (7/8 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 26-30. Date: 664-332 B.C..In this depiction of Taweret, the goddess is shown with a feline head and on top of her head seems to be a small animal. As usual her massive hippopotamus torso includes the pendulous breasts of a woman, while the tail of a crocodile is on her back. Her human arms end in the paws of a lion and she stands upright on the legs of a lion. This hybrid creature combines the elements of dangerous and fertile creatures, perfect for a goddess that was meant to protect women and their children. In front of her legs is the sa-symbol, a protective loop that was also used as a hieroglyph to write the word for "protection" and for "amulet." The object here is a very small figurine that might have been used as a protective amulet, but it is also possible that it was a personal object of adoration or a gift to Taweret expressing the hope for her Ceremonial Knife (Tumi) 2nd-7th century Moche.

Museum: The Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, USA.Handle with Intertwined Figures 13th century Nepal (Kathmandu Valley) This elaborate openwork handle for a ritual vessel is composed of a five intertwined nagas, snake deities charged with the protection of the earths waters and its riches. The nagas appear with human torsos, snake hoods, jewels, crowns, and extended snakes bodies. As this handle likely formed part of vessel for ritual lustration, naga imagery would be highly propitious..

Late Period, Saite These shabtis were part of a group of 377 found at the bottom of the sloping passageway to the burial chamber in the tomb of Nespekashuty. The shabtis were closely grouped as if they came from one or two boxes that had disappeared, almost certainly in the fire that left a number of the shabtis melted together and damaged the walls of the tomb in the excavator's opinion.Other shabtis were found elsewhere in the much reused tomb and the forecourt debris, also with no inscription or names, but their size and appearance differed..

Dynasty 26Perfume bottle in the shape of a hes-vase inlaid with the figure of a princess ca. 1353-1336 B.C. New Kingdom, Amarna Period The shape of this perfume bottle imitates that of a ritual vessel used for water libations. Inlaid on its side is a marvel of lapidary skill-a little Amarna princess standing on a blossom of the blue lotus, a species that opens anew each morning with the rising sun. For an Egyptian, the child and the flower would have been a powerful image of rebirth and rejuvenation..

(34.9 cm); Diam. of rim: 11 1/8 in. (28.3 cm); Diam. of foot: 6 7/8 in. (17.5 cm); Wt. 16 lb. (7.3 kg). Date: late 11th century B.C..This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. 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 principaCast pendant bead. UnknownGoblet (jia) Made 1200 BCE-1046 BCE China. Monumental scale and the precise casting of animal imagery distinguish this vessel as a commission of late Shang royalty. Two tiers of monster masks encircle the flared bowl. Elongated version of these masks, which may also be interpreted as paired serpents, descend the sharply tapered legs. A bovine head with sculpted horns crowns the strap handle. Pieces of the clay core, visible through holes in the legs, remain from the piece-mold casting process..

Achaemenid This silver vessel is called a rhyton’ (from the Greek rheo, meaning flow through’) by scholars because it has a spout at the bottom. Like many rhyta, it consists of a horn-shaped beaker and a hollow sculptural element, in this case in the form of the foreparts of a kneeling ram or ibex. The ibex has curved horns, pointed ears, heavy brows, a narrow snout and a chin beard. Rows of spiral curls on its chest and back indicate hair or possibly fleece. The animal’s hindquarters are depicted in row relief on the beaker itself, with its hind legs running straight up the side. A feather is engraved on each of the ibex’s flanks, perhaps suggesting wings. The beaker is decorated with horizontal fluting. Below the outturned rim is a repeating pattern of engraved lotuses and palmettes, separated from the fluting by a guilloche border. The two parts of the rhyton are now joined by an acrylic ring and it is not certain thCosmetic Spoon. Egypt, Late Period, 712-332 B.C.. Tools and Equipment; palettes.

Italic, Villanovan Originally part of a set of three, this solid cast bronze leg in the form of a horse and rider would have supported a large bowl or basin used in lavish Etruscan gatherings. These vessels are common at Vetulonia, in Etruria, where this leg was likely manufactured, and continue a long tradition of bronze working in this metal-rich region. As symbols of wealth and status, the vessels were frequently buried with their owners, and perhaps allude to the funerary banquet..
