Paris, Museum Causori. 35173-8 Art of steppes, doe, animalCow lying down second half 18th-mid-19th century Italian The practice of using crèche figures to restage religious events reached the height of its complexity and artistic excellence in eighteenth-century Naples, and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts group of Neapolitan crèche is one of the finest and most complete survivals of the art form. The ensemble consists of characters traditional to eighteenth-century Italian Christmas holiday customs. The Nativity, featuring the holy family, shepherds and their flocks, and a host of angels and cherubs is joined by the procession of the three Magi and colorful peasants, townspeople, and animals. The figures have articulated bodies of tow and wire with polychromed terracotta heads, and are all in partially distressed condition.These vibrant characters are further brought to life by a wide-ranging set of cloth, embroidery, leather, wicker, wax, and silver accessories. Many of these, such as the figures luxurious costumes, baskets of fruit, and gNetsuke in the form of a wolf with a turtle, Tomotada, c. 1800 - c. 1850 Wolf, the front leg of which rests on a turtle.

Date: 15th century.The Qilin is a mythical creature thought to appear when a sage ruler comes to the throne. This exquisitely cast bronze example served as an auspicious ornament or paperweight on a Chinese scholar's desk. The creature looks back to its proper left and reclines with all four feet tucked under its body. Its head features a beard, a central horn, and a flame like flowing mane--characteristics shared by early Ming dynasty depictions of dragons. The animal's dense scales and ribbon like flames emanating from its upper legs are also attributes of Ming images of mythical animals. The surface of the bronze bears traces of red pigment, probably cinnabar, which was believed to have the magic property of warding off evils.

Late Period (Saite)-Ptolemaic Period Although uninscribed, the sun disk and horns identify this figure as the image of a sacred bull, most likely the Apis. Such figures come in a variety of sizes and qualities, and can be decorated with trappings such as engraved blankets or amulets. Inscribed examples show that they were often dedicated to the god by specific people wishing to share in the cult. This example might represent an offering from a less wealthy patron. The worship of the Apis, considered the earthly incarnation of the god Ptah and also seen as a deity in its own right, is attested as early as Dynasty 1. The single living representative, chosen according to specific markings such as a white triangle on the forehead and black patches resembling winged birds or scarabs on the body, was stabled near the temple of Ptah at Memphis, and, starting at least in the reign of Amenhotep III (ca. 1350 B.C.) buried in a vast catacomb knownFinial; bronze (gilt)Pole Cap with Antelope 599 BCE-400 BCE Eurasia. Bronze sculptures of real and imaginary animals are generally known as ìOrdosî after the Ordos Desert in which they were first discovered in the early twentieth century. This northern and northwestern frontier of Chinaówhich also includes the forests and grasslands of present-day Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, southern Siberia, and parts of Central Asia was occupied by hunting and herding tribes during the first millennium B.C. The precise ethnic identities of most of these tribes are unknown; ancient Chinese texts refer to many of these tribes by ancient regional names rather than by the names by which the tribes called themselves.The vigorous lifestyle of these nomadic horsemen is reflected in their bronzes, which originally embellished chariots, harness equipment, and personal accessories. Pole caps or finials like this were probably attached to such chariots or their canopies.. Bronze .Figure of a Deer, Possibly Finial of a Pin 1000-1470 North Coast. Bronze .

(13 x 13.3 x 7.6cm), Yue ware Porcelaneous stoneware with celadon glaze, China, 3rd-7th century BCE, Celadon glazed ram-shaped vessels are known from as early as the eastern Wu dynasty (222-280). This vessel was made by joining together sections pulled on the potter's wheel and finished with carving and appliqué. Most ram-shaped vessels from this era have small holes in the top of their head suggesting they might have been used as lamps. Their actual purpose however has still not been fully determined.Pottery Whistle 800-1500 Costa Rican. Pottery Whistle. Costa Rican. 800-1500. Clay. Late Period (). Costa Rica. Aerophone-Whistle Flute-whistleBronze bull's head early 7th century B.C. Possibly Cypriot Bull's head attachment from a tripod with horizontal tubular socket. Painstaking scholarship over twenty years has discovered that these pieces and others now in Berlin originally belonged to one bronze and iron rod tripod. Luigi Palma di Cesnola and his brother Alessandro divided their finds made in Kourion in 1873-74 and sold them to New York and Berlin, respectively. Bronze tripods represent one of the most prestigious and costly creations of the Archaic period. While they originated in the Near East, by the eighth century B.C. they were exported westward to the Greeks and Etruscans as well as copied locally. Thanks to its copper mines, Cyprus was probably an important production center; numerous examples have come to light on the island.The tripod originally had six bulls' heads at the top and three bovine hooves forming the feet. The missing heads and feet are in Berlin.. Bronze bull's head 244497Lamp in the Shape of the MythicalTianlu, 1st century B.C.E.-1st century C.E., Bronze, 2 7/8 × 5 1/8 × 2 3/4 in.

The traditional Egyptian gods Amun or Khnum were identified with curly-horned rams, but by this time several other divinities were as well. In terracotta statuettes and on coins Harpokrates can be seen riding a ram or sitting upon a lotus flower, the latter symbolic of rebirth. Perhaps this faience composition alludes to Harpokrates, who was an immensely popular god of fecundity and rebirth during the Roman era. With the masks 26.7.1020-.1021, the ram is said to have been part of a find of numerous faience objects at Arsinoe, capital of the Fayum region.. Ram with lotus-shaped manger. A.D. 2nd century.
