Dimensions: l. 4.6 cm (1 13/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: reign of Akhenaten. Date: ca. 1353-1336 B.C..This mold from Amarna was used to produce cornflower pendants (see 31.114.2a). The mold would hae been created by using an existing pendant to impress a shape into a pad of clay, which was then fired. The mold was then used to produce cornflower pendants in faience paste. Once molded, the pendant was not fired in the mold, but tipped out of it to dry before later firing, so that the mold itself could be used many times in quick succession. Eventually the mold, because it was porous, soaked up some of the paste materials - the whitish cloud seen over the surface within this mold is the result. After considerable use, the mold would have blurred and been discarded. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Buckle. UnknownAttic Red-Figure Vase Fragment. UnknownArrowhead Japan The Jōmon period is the earliest period in Japanese history, lasting from roughly 14,000 to 300 BCE. The Jōmon people were primarily hunter-gatherers, using arrowheads such as this one to hunt a variety of land animals. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Jōmon hunted over 60 species of mammal throughout the Japanese archipelago, including tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) and monkeys, both of which would likely be considered unpalatable in contemporary Japanese society..
