Date: ca. 1390-1353 B.C..Although bronze and iron scales have been found in Egypt, body armor--a foreign import--was probably not commonly worn there. Two sets of armor appear in a presentation scene in the tomb of Kenamun at Thebes, and a cuirass of leather scales was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The ten scales (11.215.452a-j) were excavated from the palace of Amenhotep III, but their position, embedded in an enclosure wall, does not allow us to speculate as to who might have worn them. The scales would have been sewn to a linen or leather backing. Although they vary, they still might have constituted the same armor. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Winged Pendant 10th-16th century Tairona Stone objects of this general shape are known to have come from an area stretching from southern Mexico to Venezuela and the Antilles in South America and the Caribbean. Their greatest concentration, however, is in the Tairona region of northwestern Colombia. Large numbers of finely crafted stone objects were excavated at Tairona sites. Usually found in caches buried in vessels under house floors or those of ceremonial structures, they are often carved of attractive pieces of stone. The stone objects include beads; axes in hafted shape carved from a single piece of stone; scepters or staffs; and thin, bar-shaped pendants with two holes or a suspension tube at the center such as the objects illustrated here, which seem to be sets of ritual artifacts.The lateral extensions of these objects may represent stylized spread wings of bats. Among the present-day Kogi and Ica, direct descendants of the Tairona, similar objects are used by religious speciaFragment 8th-9th century. Fragment 448773Fragment 8th-9th century.
