4 of Nooses, from The Cloisters Playing Cards ca. 1475-80 South Netherlandish The Cloisters set of fifty-two cards constitutes the only known complete deck of illuminated ordinary playing cards (as opposed to tarot cards) from the fifteenth century. There are four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, knave, and ten pip cards. The suit symbols, based on equipment associated with the hunt, are hunting horns, dog collars, hound tethers, and game nooses. The value of the pip cards is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the suit symbol. The figures, which appear to be based on Franco-Flemish models, were drawn in a bold, free, and engaging, if somewhat unrefined, hand. Their exaggerated and sometimes anachronistic costumes suggest a lampoon of extravagant Burgundian court fashions. Although some period card games are named, it is not known how they were played. Almost all card games did, however, involve some form of gambling. The condition of the set indicates that the cards were h

Belt A.D. 200-700 Recuay Ancient fabrics from the highlands of the Peruvian Andes rarely survive the adverse weather conditions that prevail there; this Recuay-style belt or chumpi, of extraordinary and complex elaboration, is a rare exception. The Recuay culture (A.D. 200-700) occupied the territory corresponding to the Callejón de Huaylas and the Callejón de Conchucos, a space between the Cordillera Negra and the Cordillera Blanca, in the North Central Andes of Peru. Its development was contemporary to the Mochica (also known as Moche) and Gallinazo cultures of the north coast; Cajamarca, from the northern highlands; and Lima, from the central coast, with whom they interacted from early times. Among these diverse cultures the Recuay stood out for the construction of mausoleum-like tombs and underground funerary galleries. They also created distinctive modeled ceramics, rich in ritual scenes. Some represent male and female characters who participate in rituals related to fertility; ot

Campania Caserta Casertavecchia S. Michele, Cathedral41. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Exterior and interior views of the 12th and 13th-century architecture and architectural sculpture. Exterior details of the portals, portal sculpture, bell tower, dome and cloister. Interior details of the pulpit (c. 1213), the tomb of Giacomo Martono (1360), the tomb of Francesco de la Rath (1359), various sculptural fragments, and the cosmati floor. Antiquities: Re-used Roman columns and capitals line the nave. Object Notes: A composite view of the interior is found in the Italy Oversize box in the Medieval core collection. General Notes: Hutzel probably made two photo campaigns of the site, and thus there is some overlap between the views in the Medieval core collection and the Hutzel collection. Some prints have been renumbered. Hutzel notes which account for 91 on the views date to a photo campaign from December 30, 1983.
