Archeological Museum of Cagliari.Raptorial Bird Bottle 4th-7th century Moche This painted stirrup-spout bottle, depicting two raptorial birds, was produced by Moche artists of Perus North Coast. This type of ceramic is called “fineline,” so named for the detailed figures and scenes delicately painted in red slip (a suspension of clay and/or other colorants in water) on a white background. On this vessel the artist illustrated two almost identical raptorial birds, perhaps hawks, falcons, or ospreys, separated by war bundles consisting of a shield, a mace, and spears or darts. Both shields are decorated with sunburst-like designs reminiscent of those seen on actual gilded copper shield frontals (see, for example, one in the Mets collection, accession number 1987.394.129). Raptorial birds are fierce predators capable of snatching animals both in open regions and in forested terrain. As such, these creatures would be suitable symbols of a warriors might.

UnknownOil Lamp Alexandrian workshopBottle with Mouse 4th-7th century Recuay Contemporary with the Moche peoples on the coast, those of Recuay were in the highlands around the Callejón de Huaylas in the north-central Andes. They flourished from about 1200 B.C. to 800 A.D., producing distinctive ceramics and stone sculptures decorated with images of rulers and supernatural creatures apparently related to Recuay cosmology. One of the best known of these images is the so-called moon animal or moon monster, a foxlike or feline animal with a long, toothy snout and head crest. The creature is frequently depicted on fine Recuay ceramics. Often made of white kaolin-like clay and decorated by resist, or negative, patterns, as is this example, Recuay ceramics exhibit quite engaging imagery. The moon animal appears twice on each chamber depicted in profile, with big round eyes, large clawed paws, and a curled tail. From the top of its head extends a curved appendage. One of the chambers has a flared spout, the other is topped by a Handleless Oil LampOne-Handled Mug with Relief Human Mask; Etruria; 575-550 B.C; Terracotta; 10.5 x 9 cm (4 1,8 x 3 9,16 in.)Bowls and lamps (2400-2000 BC) from Tiwal esh-Sharqi in the central Jordan Valley. The lamp of this period has four spouts. From analyses it has been possible to identify the fuel used as fish oil.Stirrup Spout Vessel with Fineline Bird Motifs Made 100 BCE-500 CE North Coast. Ceramic and pigment . MocheStirrup 12th-14th century Probably Burmese This rare bronze stirrup is very appealing for its beautiful form and sculptural qualities. However, no closely comparable stirrups have been identified, making it very difficult to place or date this example. The beaded arms and bearded masks that feature prominently on each side are unique three dimensional interpretations of an iconic design comprising masks linked by garlands of pearls. This design was used to decorate architecture, sculpture, and ritual objects in Buddhist cultures throughout much of Asia..

This beehive-shaped alabaster vessel is small and squat with a flat bottom and two pierced lug handles at the shoulder. Its lid has a pierced handle on top. This type of vessel was probably intended as a container that could be sealed by tying the handle on the lid to the lug handles on the vessel. Due to the weight of the stone and the skilled workmanship involved, it has been suggested that these vessels were made to hold a valuable commodity, perhaps a semi-solid ointment. They are found in southwestern Arabia in the last half of the first millennium B.C.. Vessel with a lid 327499Chinese ritual food vessel, ding. Bronze, Western Zhou dynasty (c.1 050-771 BC)Confronting Figures Bottle 4th-7th century Moche Each side of this Moche stirrup spout bottle shows a prominent subject of Moche iconography, Wrinkle Face and Iguana facing each other. On the left side of each pair, Wrinkle Face, a fanged anthropomorphic figure with wrinkles, snake earspools, a feline headdress, and a snake-headed belt, sits on a throne. On the right side, Iguana, the anthropomorphized lizard, wears a bird headdress. While Wrinkle Face raises a hand with a pointed index finger, Iguana joins both hands in an attitude of veneration. Throughout Moche history, the two companions were portrayed in a wide range of complex scenes, such as burial ceremonies, "bean and stick" ceremonies interpreted as games or rituals surrounding agricultural activities, and combats with supernatural creatures.. Confronting Figures Bottle 310522Ewer 11th century This object was found and purchased in Nishapur.Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. 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 lost itLibation jar with with lid ca. 1887-1750 BC Middle Kingdom This small jar currently has no known parallel, although its form is reminiscent of the large magical water jar from Sithathoryunet's tomb (see 21.2.62a,b).Link to a blog postJewelry from the Haraga Treasure, United at the Met.

Dimensions: H. 9 1/2 x W. 4 5/8in. (24.1 x 11.7cm). Date: 2nd-3rd century.Moche ceramists rendered naturalistic details of humans, animals, and plants with great anatomical precision. Exact species and even historical individuals can be recognized in sculptural images depicted with a high degree of realism. In Moche religion and iconography, birds of prey include falcons, eagles, condors, vultures, and owls. Naturalistic or anthropomorphized birds of prey perform a variety of ritual activities related to their natural behavior such as battles, hunts, and sacrifices. Perhaps because they are nocturnal, owls seem to be closely related to the funerary domain. Anthropomorphized owls prepare bodies and offerings for burials and also carry deceased warriors to the world of the dead. Many species of owls living in the desert environment of the Peruvian north coast are represented by Moche ceramists. This vessel probably shows a Tyto alba, recoVessel with a strap handle and Lid and Lentoid Bottle (Pilgrim Flask) ca. 1353-1336 B.C. New Kingdom, Amarna Period These are marl-clay pots excavated in the North Suburb at Amarna. The lentoid flask (29.7.1) is a type that originates outside Amarna itself. It probably came with particular trade contents: many such lentoid flasks from Amarna show a pitting on the interior that suggests their special contents was somewhat corrosive. The two-handled jar (29.7.2) is lidded with a small upside down silt-clay dish. It had a brown contents when excavated. The jar was found in a house with many others, some sunk into the floor for storage, and plentiful remains of pigments in the house suggested to the excavators that it belonged to a painter..
