Block with cartouche of Alexander the Great or his son Alexander IV of Macedon. Dimensions: H. 17.5 cm (6 7/8 in.); W. 10.6 cm (4 3/16 in.); D. 4.6 cm (1 13/16 in.). Date: 332-323 B.C..The preserved cartouche gives the name of Alexander, although omitting one of the usual signs. This should be Alexander the Great, who conquered Egypt in 332 BC and died in 323 BC, or just possibly his son by Roxanne Alexander IV of Macedon who ruled Egypt in absentia from 316-306 BC.To the left of the cartouche may be seen the remains of the king's first cartouche. Below the heads of two uraei crowned with disks may just be seen, possibly referring to two goddesses and part of an epithet of the king. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Queen Offering to the Aten ca. 1345-1335 B.C. New Kingdom, Amarna Period This limestone block is from a monumental temple scene representing the king and queen makinig an offering to Aten. The face, usually identified as Akhenaten, actully depicts an Amarna queen, probably Nefertiti, following her husband. The king's shoulder is just visible at the left side of the block. Nefertiti wears the royal "afnet" headcloth with a uraeus cobra at the forehead. Two of Aten's hands hold an ankh to her nose and mouth. The hand at the end of a third ray is turned upward to touch the divine cobra on the queen's forehead. This reversal of the hand position is unusual but not unprecedented, and adds an element of artistic tension to the composition. The relief has been carved in the restrained style that came into use in about the eights year of Akhenaten's reign, shortly after the capital was moved to Tell el-Amarna (Akhetaten). The delicacy of the modeling, which subtly emphasizes the bones of the l

Part of a bronze statue base inscribed in Egyptian and Greek 6th century BC Late Period This broken or partial base is inscribed with both an Egyptian dedication phrase and with a Greek dedication.The front of the base bears a scene of Amun and Mut opposite a man holding a cone shaped object. On rectangles in either upper corner are the Egyptian phrases "Amun give." And along one adjacent side is the phrase "Amun give life (to) Ber son of .... The father's name appears to have been removed. Below the hieroglyphs and on other surfaces is a Greek phrase "Melanthios consecrated me to Theban Zeus (i.e. Amon) as a gift." It seems the individual making the dedication had both an Egyptian and a Greek name, although there are other possibilities..

Relief block depicting plucking and roasting fowl and herds crossing water. Dimensions: H. 95.2 cm (37 1/2 in.); W. 71.7 cm (28 1/4 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 12. Reign: reign of Amenemhat I, late. Date: ca. 1962-1952 B.C..The upper register of the block depicts the plucking and cooking of geese, while the lower scene shows cattle being led through the marshes. The block was found reused as the threshold of a house at the site of Lisht North; the rectangular hole in the upper left corner was cut to receive one of the doorposts. Stylistic and iconographic features indicate that the relief comes from one of the Dynasty 12 mastabas at the site. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Champlevé furniture or cosmetic box plaque with a griffin and a floral frieze. Culture: Assyrian. Dimensions: 2.28 x 1.26 x 0.28 in. (5.79 x 3.2 x 0.71 cm). Date: ca. 9th-8th century B.C..This slightly curved, rectangular plaque depicts a sun-disc crowned griffin, a fantastic animal with the head and wings of an eagle and the body and tail of a lion. The griffin stands on its hind legs, resting its left foreleg on a papyrus flower and raising its right foreleg. Found in a large storeroom at Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was used to store booty and tribute collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign, this piece was probably used to decorate a round cosmetic box or as an inlay for a piece of wooden furniture. It is carved in the champlevé technique, characteristic of the Phoenician style, in which recessed spaces cut into the ivory would have been filled with colored inlays. Traces of Egyptian blue, a vibrant artificial pigment made of silica, lime, copper,

Cylinder seal and modern impression: bull-man combatting lion; nude hero combatting water buffalo; inscription ca. 2250-2150 B.C. Akkadian Contests between heroes and animals first appeared in cylinder seals in the late fourth millennium B.C., and by the middle of the third millennium B.C., the combatants, which might include mythological opponents, had assumed heroic status. The contest was a favorite subject during the Akkadian period, where it possibly represents the contrast and ever-present struggle between the forces of nature.A standing nude bearded hero with five visible sidelocks of hair (the traditional sixth curl is hidden by his raised right arm) grasps a water buffalo that is rearing on its hind legs. The head of the water buffalo is pushed back by the hero's right hand. The animal's wide horns are displayed frontally, as found on contemporary stamp seals from the Indus Valley where the water buffalo was native. Such imagery demonstrates cultural interaction resulting from

Relief fragment with two young dogs ca. 2400-2323 B.C. Old Kingdom Two puppies stand side by side with slightly lowered heads, as if hesitating to approach some problem or adversary they cannot yet handle. They must have belonged to a subregister of a larger composition-perhaps a hunt in the desert. The impression of overlap is achieved by the use of incised lines that slope up into the surface of the relief rather than by actual variations in height. This technique, used from the time of Niuserre onwards, allowed much easier execution of intricate groupings.. Relief fragment with two young dogs 543886

Grapevine ca. 1353-1336 B.C. New Kingdom, Amarna Period This fragment shows a very successful integration of two carving techniques. The delicate outlines of the leaves and their veins are lightly incised into the surface, while the heavy, dense clusters of grapes are in deeply modeled sunk relief, evoking plump dark grapes against the shaded tracery of the vines. The block might belong to a scene highlighting daily life and nature, or, more likely, to a scene of the royal family under a vine-laden pavilion.A clue is preserved to the block's architectural position on the wall: the rough strip to the left was probably a highly raised and rounded astragal (border or transition element) protecting the corner of a small shrine.. Grapevine. ca. 1353-1336 B.C.. Limestone, paint. New Kingdom, Amarna Period. From Egypt; Probably originally from Amarna (Akhetaten); Probably from Middle Egypt, Hermopolis (Ashmunein; Khemenu).

London, England, United Kingdom.

Cosmetic box fragment carved in relief with the head of a sphinx ca. 9th century B.C. Iran Excavations at Hasanlu in Iran yielded a large number of carved ivory fragments which probably decorated wooden furniture or were used as small precious objects such as boxes. The citadel at Hasanlu was attacked and destroyed around 800 B.C., most likely by military forces of the powerful state of Urartu, centered in present-day Armenia, eastern Turkey, and northwestern Iran. In the fire that destroyed the citadel, many objects were crushed and shattered. The blackened appearance of most of the Hasanlu ivories is due to their exposure to high temperatures at the time of the citadels destruction.This fragment of a pyxis, or box, depicts a seated sphinx. The beardless, perhaps female sphinx wears a soft peaked cap with a band at the forehead, tucked behind the ear. A curled lock of hair covers the back of the neck. The pupil of the eye is drilled to receive an inlay, now missing, as are the sectio

Plate with reclining zebu. Dimensions: Diameter: 22.9 cm (9 in.). Date: ca. late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C..Made from a sheet of copper alloy with a rim that has now broken away, this shallow plate is decorated at the center with an image of a zebu, a breed of cattle from southwestern Asia. The zebu's distinctive hump and upraised curved horns are clearly visible as the recumbent animal turns to face its rump and arched tail. Details such as the texture of the fur on the neck and chest and the long tuft of hair at the tip of the tail are incised. The body is formed in low relief, and the modeling of the face is especially delicate, combining the techniques of repoussé and chasing.The Bronze Age cemetery at Shahdad, in southeastern Iran, yielded three copper-alloy plates similar to this piece, which were likewise decorated with animals in low relief. Another low-sided copper plate, embellished with a lion attacking a bull, comes from a Bronze Age level at the site of Tepe Hissar, i

Dado Panel 10th century This small panel was excavated at Nishapur from a mound known as Sabz Pushan (the Green Covered). Excavations at Sabz Pushan revealed part of a residential neighborhood with several houses and an alleyway. This piece was found in an iwan, or covered room opening onto a courtyard, richly decorated with carved panels and wall paintings. This iwan may have been part of a private house, but the presence of a mihrab (prayer niche) suggests that it could have also served as a small neighborhood mosque. Other panels found in the same iwan include MMA 37.40.43, 37.40.45, 37.40.46 and 37.40.47.The piece specifically formed the base of a column framing the mihrab. While its design is unique and made to fit the dimensions of this particular panel, the leaf motif in the center appears throughout the iwan in a variety of combinations, creating a sense of cohesion. Such attention to detail, even at the level of tiny panels like this one, is typical of the architectural decora

Panel from Model Cooking Stove: Raven Flanked by Snake-Entwined Tortoises, 100-1 BC. China, from a tomb in Xi'an, Shanxi province, Western Han dynasty (202 BC-AD 9). Earthenware with impressed relief decoration; overall: 12.7 x 18.4 cm (5 x 7 1/4 in.). Han dynasty tombs were often furnished with grave goods to provide the deceased with items for the afterlife. Four earthenware panels were made in molds and then joined together to make a miniature model of a stove, which was placed in a burial chamber. The four sides show the animals of the cardinal directions. Two snake-entwined turtles designate the north, and here flank an archway that simulates the opening for fueling the stove. Above the arch perches a raven, which is identified with the sun, perhaps depicted here to denote the heat issuing from the false opening.
