Lower Right Forearm (Vambrace) and Elbow (Couter) Defense ca. 1400 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..

Throughout the ages, salt was treated with respect: it was expensive and was ascribed curative properties. Salt-cellars were thus often ornate works of art fashioned from costly materials.

Leaders in the Caribbean region widely exchanged such pendants and wore them to emulate the natural prowess of birds of prey. The supernatural birds have fanciful, hybrid features such as neck ornaments, elaborate crests, and other protuberancesthat complicate the identification of a recognizable species. The sound effects made by the pendants were important: some birds have bells for eyes, while others have bell chambers for bodies. In ceremonies the audience could have heard a ruler before they saw him or her.. Eagle Pendant. Veraguas. 11th-16th century. Gold (cast). Panama.

There seems to be a link between Chavín religion and appearance of the Andes’ first large precious-metal objects, made using revolutionary new metallurgical processes. Chavín may have developed these technical innovations to express the inexpressible, the "wholly other" nature of its religion. In many areas, elite men and women wore the ornaments as emblems of their ties to this religion, and eventually were buried with them. These 16 objects, along with three others not in the museum’s collection, are said to have come as a group from Chavín itself.Tile; tin-enamelled earthenwareNetsuke of Daruma Admonishing a Mermaid Serving Sake to an Octopus 19th century Japan.

It is used in mosques by imams, prayer leaders, to deliver the sermon at the main service of the week, at noon on Friday. These doors, with the intricate geometric inlay typical of the Mamluk period, are thought to come from the fourteenthcentury mosque of Saif alDin Qawsun in Cairo.

At this period, the elevated war saddles and the very specific riding style, with long stirrup leathers and legs extended forward, had the consequence of taking away the riders feet from the horses flank. Thus, these long necks gave them easier access without having to disturb the riders position. Wide heel bands like this, completely surrounding the back of the foot, are a typical Bohemian characteristic found on many spurs made in this area during the 15th century. They could have given extra protection to the heel at a time when some types of greaves, armor parts protecting the lower half of the leg, stopped at the ankle level. More luxurious examples were usually adorned with engraving and intricate pierced decoration.. Rowel Spur (Right). Bohemian. 15th century. Iron.

Equestrian equipment, like stirrups, spurs and bits, are regularly found in their burials, even after their Christianization, among the goods warriors wanted to bring with them to the afterlife. The elite would sometimes even be accompanied by sacrificed horses, a meaningful practice at that time, considering the high economic value of horses.

The popularity of the ibis cult is attested by the thousands of mummies of this bird found in animal catacombs throughout Egypt. Figures such as this one have been found alongside the mummies in the catacombs, as well as in caches related to temples and shrines.
