SPAIN.Silver jug with gold rim ca. 1279-1213 B.C. New Kingdom, Ramesside Wine was a coveted drink starting in Egypts earliest days, though wine services do not have a long history there, as strainers were not found before the New Kingdom. The importance of wine grew during that period, as intoxicating drinks played a prominent role in festivals and in communal celebrations. When associated with Bastet and other feline goddesses, these drinks helped partakers emulate the drunkenness that brought about the goddesses pacification. Such practices probably occurred in festivals for Bastet in Tell Basta, where this and other vessels were found. The vessels were buried in two caches close to the temple, along with silver and gold jewelry, ingots, and lesser objects. Rare in antiquity, most silver and gold vessels were later melted down and reused for new projects. The Tell Basta hoards are thus exceptional finds.Jugs like this one might be used for pouring wine.. Silver jug with gold rim. ca. 127Skyphos ca. 325-300 B.C.

China This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11).A partial reconstruction of the sets arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels—the two wine containers, or you, and the central tall wine container, or zun—that were etched onto the surface of the altar table.

Date: 10th century.Slip-painting, the technique employed to decorate this ewer, was developed in Khurasan and Central Asia in the 10th century. It consists of diluting the pigment of the desired color in a slip (liquid clay), and of painting designs with the mixture: the adherence of the slip-painted designs to the surface of the vessel makes for a neat design, that does not run under the glaze. In this case, fine incisions of the black slip give definition to the design.The black slip-painting outlines a continuous motif of palmettes connected by a band with loops and an inscription in Kufic script. The text, typical of slip-painted vessels of this type, is an Arabic proverb and reads "devotion fortifies action".

In the second creation, human beings were made from wood and reeds. They lacked souls and minds, and they did not revere their creator. Because of these imperfections, most were killed by an uprising of utensils and domestic animals. Monkeys are the descendents of the survivors.Jar with decorated rim, swivel, and knob 664-30 B.C.

In a thickening on one side of the vessel's lip there is a hole for a swivel for the now missing lid.

'Cut-glaze' decoration, as this technique is called, rose to prominence in Cizhou kilns during the Northern Song (960-1127) and Jin (1115-1234) periods. The method was inspired by the more complicated earlier Cizhou decorative techniques worked with black and white slips in combination with incised decor under a clear glaze. Vessels with cut-glaze decoration are often attributed to Shanxi province but many such vessels were produced in other northern provinces as well.Clay vessel, museum in Bogazkale, finds from the Hittite period, Turkey, Bogazkale, Turkey, AsiaLekythos 4th century B.C.

Date: ca. late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C..During antiquity, vessels of precious metal were used in ritual ceremonies and as symbols of status for members of the ruling elite. From the western Caucasus to eastern Afghanistan, several hoards of these vessels in gold and silver have been found and recorded. Such a cup is this one, made of a natural alloy of gold and silver known as electrum. Resting on its narrow base, the body of the vessel curves gently inward before flaring out again to a wide mouth. The vessel is decorated at the rim with eight birds of prey incised with patterned lines. They are placed at equal intervals, with wings outspread and heads projecting above the rim of the cup. Each bird is attached with three round-headed rivets. Since the placement of the birds makes it awkward to drink from the cup, it is probable that the vessel was intended Paste box, c. 1643, 2 7/8 x 2 3/4 in.

New Kingdom, Ramesside The pomegranate did not arrive in Egypt until the beginning of the New Kingdom, when it was probably brought back from western Asia during the military campaigns of the early Eighteenth Dynasty. While the fruit may initially have been available only as an import, pomegranate trees were soon planted in Egyptian gardens. The attributes of the fruit served as the point of departure for an elegant, stylized vessel shape with a scalloped rim. Pomegranates in nature can range from green to yellow to red, so the choices for these vessels are not unrealistic. The juice was prized as a drink and often added to wine, but it can also be used as an astringent to shrink tissues and reduce swelling in wounds. The larger jar (26.7.1180) probably held juice for consumption as a drink. The smaller, green jar (44.4.52) depicts the fruit in its unripe state, when the juice is too sour to drink, and may have held juice intenCup 1st-2nd century Roman Period Most of the archaeological finds from the Tomb of Nespekashuty originate from the courtyard and first chamber of the tomb. While the relief finds can be assigned with confidence to the tomb, the other general finds and graffiti testify to a long usage life. This particular pottery beaker dates to the Roman Period, probably first century AD, some seven hundred years after Nespekashuty's burial.The courtyard finds help to sketch the long life and various incarnations of the tomb. Nespekashuty had used for his tomb the courtyard and causeway of an earlier Dynasty 11 tomb of a high official of Mentuhotep II. That tomb's position in the northern cliffs of Deir el Bahri, and above the subsequently built temple of Hatshepsut made it suited for certain reuses. Already in the Third Intermediate Period the tomb was reused for a burial and seemingly for overflow off offerings from the Hathor Shrine in Hatshepsut's Temple.

These vessels were widely distributed among the population and used in households of any socioeconomic status. Plates and bowls were probably obtained during feasts, which gave opportunities to elites to enhance their own status by displaying and distributing prestigious crafts among the population. This bowl shows large raptorial birds decapitating human beings. The white background is filled with spears, zoomorphic heads, and circular objects interpreted as sling stones. The Nazca had a headhunting cult; caches of several trophy heads with carrying ropes have been discovered occasionally by archaeologists. The frequent depiction of severed heads is one of the most distinctive features of Nazca ceramic art.

Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.Terracotta krater with lid surmounted by a small hydria ca. 750-740 B.C. Attributed to the Cesnola Painter Said to be from Kourion, CyprusDuring the eighth century B.C., the Geometric style that had originated in Athens spread throughout the Greek-speaking world. This beautifully proportioned vase found on Cyprus differs in a number of ways from the three monumental Geometric kraters from Attica displayed elsewhere in this gallery. The shoulder is subdivided by four handles rather than two, and the carpetlike decoration was applied over a light ceramic slip ground instead of directly onto the clay. Since the 1870s, scholars have debated where the vase was made; current opinion attributes it to a workshop on Euboea, an island just off the east coast of Attica, rather than to the island of Naxos, in the Cyclades. In the center panel, between the handles, two stags or goats rise on their hind legs to nibble at a tree. While the graceful long-legged animals are represented in a typically GIranian vase with multiple spouts. Dated 13th CenturyNear East. Iranian glazed pottery. 2nd-3rd century AD.
