Fragments of a Cypriot Red-Polished ware jug decorated with incision. Horizontal lines encircle the neck, shoulder and body. Two bands of connecting diamonds decorated with stripes are present on the body.Lid fragment ca. 9th-8th century B.C. Assyrian This broken piece of carved ivory was probably a lid for a small round box, called a pyxis by scholars. The lid is smooth and flat on top with part of a circular depression visible at the center and two rosettes extending from the edges. The rosettes are shown with a hatched pattern in the center and differ from each other in their number of petals and the relative size of the petals. The underside of the lid is rounded and the rosettes are supported by rounded ridges carved into the surface. A fragmentary central ridge seems to have originally formed a ring on the underside of the lid. Boxes of this type could have held precious goods including luxurious commodities such as spices, incense, cosmetics, perfumes or ointments. The black and gray color of the lid suggests that is was damaged by fire during the sack of the Assyrian palace buildings at Nimrud at the time of Assyrias final defeat in 614 and 612 B.C.Built by the Assyrian king AsSealing ca. 1981-1640 B.C.

UnknownElbow Defense (Couter) ca. 1430-40 Italian This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire..
