Travertine; diameter: 18.2 cm (7 3/16 in.); diameter of mouth: 9.6 cm (3 3/4 in.); overall: 40.8 cm (16 1/16 in.). In the process of mummification, the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines were removed, separately embalmed, and stored in specialized jars known as canopic jars (after a sailor in Greek mythology, who died at the town of Canopus in the Nile Delta and was worshipped there in the form of a human-headed jar). Each organ was identified with one of four funerary deities collectively known as the Sons of Horus: the liver with Imsety (man's head), the lungs with Hapy (baboon's head), the stomach with Duamutef (jackal's head), and the intestines with Qebehsenuef (falcon's head). It was their duty to protect the deceased and restore to him his body parts in the hereafter.Olla (vessel), late 1920s-1930s, 9 3/8 × 11 1/16 × 11 1/16 in.

SPAIN.Stirrup-spout Bottle 12th-5th century B.C. Cupisnique Bottles made in northern South America beginning in the second millennium B.C. were frequently made in a shape that is visually reminiscent of the stirrup on a horse's saddle. Stirrup-spout bottles, as they are called, were particularly favored in Peru, where for thousands of years they were made in a great variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes. Those stirrup-spout bottles, such as this example, termed Cupisnique, after the location in which many vessels in the style were initially discovered, are robustly sculptural and often monochrome in color. Strong and squat in shape, this bottle has a particularly well-balanced surface, with carefully placed, raised projections and round protrusions that echo the curved forms of body and spout. Since the Cupisnique style became known in the 1930s, it has become clear that there are a number of ceramic styles that are contemporary with and similar to it, but that can be distinguished from it Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 4 3/16 in. (10.6 cm). Date: ca. 500 B.C..Obverse, between hunters, lioness felling fallow deerReverse, between hunters, lion felling deerThis vase gives noteworthy testimony to the persistence of tradition in Attic vase-painting. Introduced from the Near East and depicted as early as Geometric vases, the motif of a feline felling a bull or deer appears here in mannerly, decorative form. The hunters to either side reflect the predilection for symmetrical compositions with decorative elements, figural or floral, at the handles. The shape of the skyphos readily accommodates the narrative frieze. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Kero. Maker: UnknownJar 12th-13th century.

Greek, South Italian, Apulian Head of a woman.. Terracotta mug 255984Lidded Vessel with Loop Handles, 57 BC-AD 668. Korea, Three Kingdoms period (57 BC-AD 668). Earthenware, with impressed, paddled, and incised decoration and red slip; This small storage jar was hand built from coils of clay before it was finished on a potter's wheel. The thick, vertical ridges covering the surface were impressed into the wet clay using a carved wooden paddle. This network of raised lines was then intersected by four incised lines coursing around the bulbous form and separating the body into lower and upper areas with deft visual simplicity. Such direct, effective design solutions to ceramic decoration appear frequently in early Korean ceramics. The two perforations in the upper body were no doubt used to help secure the lid to the body with cord.. Come from stoneware, covered with a gray-white / green, cracked glaze. The bowl overshoes up and stands on three feet in the form of animal legs with a hoof; The handle is modeled in the form of a dragon head. Celadon (Yue).Lycurgus Cup 4th C. A.D.

Date: 7th-10th century.Cylindrical beakers with flaring sides, called keros, are a vessel form popular when the cities of Wari and Tiwanaku dominated the central and southern Andes. Used for the consumption of chicha (corn beer) during ceremonies and everyday gatherings, they played an important role in the maintenance of social and political relations. Keros were made of wood, fired clay, gold, and silver--the material reflecting the social status of the owner. They are decorated on the exterior with religious imagery and geometric motifs. On the circumference of this kero are four anthropomorphized winged figures in low but crisp relief. Its abstract carving style, distortion of the figures, and dense ornamentation are characteristic of Tiwanaku art. All four figures carry the staffs in their right hands that are a symbol of status and authority in ancient Peru. Two have feline faces looking skywarBurden Basket, 1880.

Martavan from v.o.c.-ship the 'white lion'.Storage jar (one of a pair) ca. 1550-70 Possibly by Domenico Veneziano Italian Storage vessels were among the most frequently produced maiolica wares in late medieval and Renaissance Italy. Made in fairly standard shapes, they were designed to fit with dozens of others on a shelf, often in a pharmacy or shop. Their handles therefore tend to fit within the vessels profile, and the cylindrical albarello type is generally narrower at the middle than at the top or bottom, making it easy to grip. Other common features include inscriptions indicating contents and flanged lips to help secure cloth or paper seals. The decoration, usually more elaborate on one side than the other, can sometimes link pieces to a known dispensary or specific workshop or artist..
