These waters are cooled by a current which yields some of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Fish and coastal birds appear frequently in ancient Andean imagery. This jar portrays a pelican fishing and catching three mythical killer whales, showing the importance of coastal activities in Nazca culture.Strainer.

Known from a region in the western state of Guanajuato that was flooded when a large dam was built in the late 1940s, Chupicuaro ceramic figures merge human and vessel forms in a manner well illustrated here. The figure's arms appear winglikeno fingers are indicatedand they may have functioned as handles. The feet have been stretched out to form the base of the entire vessel. The striking step-fret pattern is continuous on the figure's chest and back. While such renditions are traditionally interpreted as textiles, they cover Chupicuaro figures so completely that body paint may be represented.. Figure Vessel 312802Skyphos ca. 350-300 B.C.

These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments.Nishapur loIncense Burner, 600-1000. Guatemala, Quiché, San Juan Cotzal, Maya, 7th-11th century. Pottery; overall: 16.3 x 25.5 cm (6 7/16 x 10 1/16 in.). According to the Popol Vuh, a sixteenth-century Quiché Maya manuscript, the world has been created and destroyed twice, and we now live in the third creation. In the second creation, human beings were made from wood and reeds. They lacked souls and minds, and they did not revere their creator. Because of these imperfections, most were killed by an uprising of utensils and domestic animals. Monkeys are the descendents of the survivors.Terracotta lid of the lebes gamikos 96.9.20 (jar associated with weddings). Culture: Greek, South Italian, Apulian. Dimensions: H. 7 11/16 in. (19.5 cm).

Of interest is the subsidiary frieze of horsemen. Horses play a significant role in funerary iconography, in the form of war chariots, racing chariots, or riders. The reference will be to the status of the deceased, for ownership of a horse in ancient Athens was a mark of wealth and privilege.. Terracotta loutrophoros (ceremonial vase for water).

(26.67 x 26.67 cm), Bronze, China, 6th-5th century BCE, Over hundreds of years, the form and decoration of the bronze ding cauldron evolved from the Shang and Western Zhou style to a new type prevalent during the Spring and Autumn period (c. 770-476 BCE) and the Warring States period (c. 475-221 BCE). In contrast to the earlier ding, the newly fashioned ding showcases a bulbous body that is smaller in size and displays simpler decoration. Its classic domed lid has three looped knobs representing stylized serpents. Archaeological evidence indicates that the casting of ritual bronzes in this form and style originated in the Jin state in present-day Shanxi province.Bowl 15th century Although true Chinese blue-and-white porcelain was available to elite members of Timurid society, local imitations in stonepaste were popular among the wider public. Modeled after a bowl from Ming China in both decoration and shape, this thin-walled stonepaste example has a three-clawed dragon running along its exterior.

Parthian This spouted jug has a globular body, a flat base, and a high flaring rim. On one side is a looped handle with a tab at the top for the thumb, and on the other is a spout that rises upward from the jugs body before extending out horizontally, though only a little bit of it remains. It is made of a pale, light pink clay, using a potters wheel, with the handle and spout added. It was excavated at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos, established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means ‘a hundred gates, suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds. This vessel was found in a large building at Site V, which has been tentatively identified as an elite residence.

Of particular interest are the images of battles on and around the two ships. The center of one ship is occupied by a figure seated under an awning as two warriors fight with swords near the stern. The central portion of the other ship is missing. The archer on the prow of this vessel, the warrior just above the prow, the proximity of the foot soldiers as well as the birds perched on the sterns of both ships suggest that the vessels are beached or at least close enough to be boarded from the shore. The person of rank under the awning, the variety of combatants, and the number of foot soldierseven if they are repeated for decorative purposesindicate that a specific event is depicted..

Date: ca. 1860-70.Face jugs were made by African American slaves and freedmen working in potteries in the Edgefield District of South Carolina, an area of significant stoneware production in the nineteenth century. The distinctive features of the jugs, notably the kaolin inserts for the eyes, relate in style and material to ritualistic objects of the Congo and Angola region of western Africa, whence many slaves in South Carolina descended. This jug is missing its teeth and lips--a common loss, sometimes occurring as early as the firing stage. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Terracotta oinochoe (jug) ca. 725-690 B.C.
