Iran. Broken bead 325281Celt before 16th century Maya () Greenstone axe heads, commonly known as “celts,” were some of the most important works of art across ancient Mesoamerica and Central America. Created from jadeite mined from the Motagua River Valley of southern Guatemala, or using local green stones from highland Mexico, celts were first created by the Olmec peoples of the Gulf Coast after 1000 B.C. The Olmec conceived of green celts as sprouts of maize and thus “planted” celts in dedicatory offerings, activating ceremonial spaces and perpetuating agricultural fertility. For the later Maya peoples, celts also served as dedicatory materials, but more so as adornments for the royal bodies of kings and queens. Often the celts would be thinned into celt-shaped plaques, strung together in pairs and triads in order to create belt assemblages that would have clinked with the sound of jades striking one another. Tombs from the Classic Period (ca. AD 250-900) contain celts of jadeite and various greenstones froFragment with ear of a pot () With Adam and Eva and the tree with the snake, anonymous, c. 1400 - c. 1950 Fragment with ear of a pot () From green -glazed pottery with Adam and Eva and the tree with the snake, in relief. earthenware Fragment with ear of a pot () From green -glazed pottery with Adam and Eva and the tree with the snake, in relief. earthenwareAxe Made 3000 BCE-2000 BCE China.

A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. On a violet reason, two types of flowers in millefiori technology can be seen: one consists of a red dot with white contour to group the yellow-edged green petals into two rows, the other has white petals on. For the production were different colored glasses Shaped to tubes and poles. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.Concretion with fossilized sea shells family Donax bivalve.
