Capital in the "Beveled Style" late 8th century This object exhibits the decorative language of Samarra, the second and temporary Abbasid capital. Among the various styles of surface ornament created at Samarra, the beveled style is the most well known. This style refers to a form of ornamentation based on a vegetal design that was slant cut so that the foreground and background become almost indistinguishable..

Magical Figure ca. 1802-1550 B.C. Late Middle Kingdom-Second Intermediate Period These tablets of unfired clay with attached crude faces were found as a group by the Museum's excavators at Lisht South in loose surface sand west of the mastaba of Senwosretankh, a high official and possibly the architect of the pyramid complex of Senwosret I (ca. 1961-1917 B. C.), east of which he erected his own very elaborate mastaba tomb (see acc. nos. 33.1.2 and other pieces). The mud figures and little coffin (acc. no. 33.1.66) that had contained some of them must have been buried, however, considerably later than the early twelfth dynasty tomb close to which they were found. In fact, during the thirteenth and following dynasties people deposited a number of objects in the by then sacred area around a legendary ruler's pyramid and its dependant monuments, believing conceivably that potent magical powers could thus be released. These flat mud figures, for instance, are inscribed in now much-faded red

Marble relief fragment with scenes from the Trojan War 1st half of 1st century A.D. Roman The tabulae iliacae are a series of tablets covered with minuscule relief scenes from the Trojan War, which were evidently inspired by illustrated manuscripts of Homer's epic poem The Iliad. This piece is signed on the back by a Greek artist named Theodoros, to whose workshop all of the surviving examples can be ascribed. He was probably active in Italy, and the tablets show that Homer was as popular with Romans as with Greeks, despite the fact that Virgil's Aeneid, designed to rival the Homeric poems and published by 19 B.C., quickly became the classic work of Latin epic..

Figure Fragment: Head 16th-19th century Nnam Over 300 monoliths carved from basalt in this style were created in the Cross River region of Nigeria between 200 to 1900 a.d. These lithic monuments, which vary in size ranging from around two to over six feet in height, are usually found in circular groupings facing inward. The depiction of human features in stone is unusual in sub-Saharan Africa; additionally, the scale, number, and arrangement of the Cross River monoliths distinguish them from other groupings of anthropomorphic sculpture.This particular example, with its elegant low-relief detailing around the eyes and the ornate cicatrization along the cheeks, led to its attribution to a class of objects created by members of the Nnam, one of eight clans that comprise the Bakor ethnic group of the Cross River region. Frequent motifs that appear on Nnam-style monoliths include a single spiral, double spiral, concentric circle, diamond, and triangle. This work is fragmentary and is the to

Furniture plaque carved in relief showing two winged, male figures flanking an infant on a lotus flower. Culture: Assyrian. Dimensions: 3.25 x 3.12 in. (8.26 x 7.92 cm). Date: ca. 9th-8th century B.C..During the early first millennium B.C., ivory carving was one of the major luxury arts that flourished throughout the ancient Near East. Elephant tusks were carved into small decorative objects such as cosmetic boxes and plaques used to adorn wooden furniture. Gold foil, paint, and semiprecious stone and glass inlay embellishments enlivened these magnificent works of art. Based on certain stylistic, formal, and technical characteristics also visible in other media, scholars have distinguished several coherent style groups of ivory carving that belong to different regional traditions including Assyrian, Phoenician, North Syrian and South Syrian (the latter also known as Intermediate).Several ivories in the Metropolitan Museum's collection are from the Aramaean town of Arslan Tash, ancient

The Sogdians established a trading network across the 2400 kilometres (1500 miles) from Sogdiana to China. In fact, the Sogdians turned their energies to trade so thoroughly that the Saka (Scythians) of the Kingdom of Khotan called all merchants suli, 'Sogdian', whatever their culture or ethnicity. An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains. They are frequently used where burial space is scarce. A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary. The greatly reduced space taken up by an ossuary means that it is possible to store the remains of many more people in a single tomb than if the original coffins were left as is.

Terracotta architectural tile 6th century B.C. Lydian This brightly painted, mold-made tile is one of many that have been excavated at Sardis, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia, in southern Turkey. In places like Lydia and southern Italy, where native stone was scarce or of poor quality, terracotta served as a substitute for stone in architecture. Tiles such as this one would have originally decorated the rooflines and outer walls of houses and civic buildings. Being both decorative and functional, some are equipped with a protruding spout that helped drain water from the eaves..

Document Sealing With the Throne Name of Amenhotep III ca. 1390-1353 B.C. New Kingdom This document sealing preserves one complete impression of a seal that was inscribed with the throne name of Amenhotep III. The full inscription reads "Nebmaatre, Son of Amun, Beloved of Horus." At the center of the impression, the ruler's name is written with the hieroglyph of a seated king holding the maat-feather, the sun disk of Re is above his head. At the left, another seated figure represents the god Amun, and the oval shape between the god and the king is a hieroglyph that means "son." At the right, the falcon represents the god Horus, and the hieroglyph "beloved" is below the seated king. An impression of the upper right edge of the same seal is visible just below the complete impression. The left side of a third impression is also preserved (not visible in the photograph). Although this may have been made by the same seal, not enough is preserved to identify the type.. Document Sealing With

Eagle Relief 10th-13th century Toltec This exquisitely carved stone panel, one of a pair given to the museum by the Hudson River School painter Frederic Church in 1893, depicts an eagle biting into a cactus fruit, a symbolic representation of the sun devouring a human heart. The two panels are nearly identical in size and imagery and may originally have formed part of a larger composition on the façade of a temple or other sacred building (see MMA 93.27.2). The Eagle Panels are among the finest examples of Mesoamerican stone relief sculpture, highly sophisticated in both composition and technique. In each, the curve of the birds back, from its head through its tail feathers, forms an arc that determines the entire composition and nearly fills the frame. The artist has placed glyph-like scrolls, shells, pierced circles (chalchihuitl), and what appears to be a bundle of reeds or a stylized ear of maize in the remaining spaces. A narrow, raised band once framed the image, and the remaini

Magical Figure ca. 1802-1550 B.C. Late Middle Kingdom-Second Intermediate Period These tablets of unfired clay with attached crude faces were found as a group by the Museum's excavators at Lisht South in loose surface sand west of the mastaba of Senwosretankh, a high official and possibly the architect of the pyramid complex of Senwosret I (ca. 1961-1917 B. C.), east of which he erected his own very elaborate mastaba tomb (see acc. nos. 33.1.2 and other pieces). The mud figures and little coffin (acc. no. 33.1.66) that had contained some of them must have been buried, however, considerably later than the early twelfth dynasty tomb close to which they were found. In fact, during the thirteenth and following dynasties people deposited a number of objects in the by then sacred area around a legendary ruler's pyramid and its dependant monuments, believing conceivably that potent magical powers could thus be released. These flat mud figures, for instance, are inscribed in now much-faded red

Date: ca. 8th-7th century B.C..This curved, trapezoidal ivory plaque was found in a storage room in Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was used to store booty and tribute collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign. It depicts a figure with the head of a falcon kneeling with elbows bent and palms held outwards, facing a stylized tree to the right. The figure wears a type of Egyptian headdress called a lappet wig, topped by a version of the Egyptian double crown which has a curled element added at the front. He is dressed in a belted garment with short skirt and loose, short sleeves, decorated with a beaded border, and is barefoot. The stylized tree is made up of a vertical trunk topped by a palmette and a curving branch rising from the root, topped by a bud; presumably the other half of the tree would ha

Furniture plaque carved in relief with a griffin in a floral landscape. Culture: Assyrian. Dimensions: H. 3 1/16 x W. 2 3/8 x Th. 3/8 in. (7.8 x 6.1 x 1 cm). Date: ca. 9th-8th century B.C..A griffin, a hybrid creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body and tail of a lion, faces right and extends its beak upwards to nibble on the top of a tripartite palmette tree in this fragmentary low-relief plaque. This piece was found in a large storeroom at Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was probably used to store tribute and booty collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign. A forest of papyrus flowers and palmettes surrounds the griffin. The scene is framed by a raised border on three sides that probably also continued on the left edge. The skillful carving technique, evident in details such as the long curled locks hanging from the head, and individually articulated wing feathers, combined with the slender proportions of the body, suggests that this pie

Column, Costumed Figure 8th-9th century Maya This limestone column, carved in medium relief, depicts an ornately dressed individual and a dwarf. The central figure is most likely a Maya ruler, and he wears an enormous tiered headdress with feathers splaying to the tops and sides of the column. He also wears a collar with three images of human heads, and a long beaded necklace.
