Iznik ceramics were an important source of inspiration for Deck, who studied them at the Musée de Cluny in Paris, which opened to the public in 1843. Although Deck borrowed Iznik colors and motifs, he did not make exact replicas of their designs. Instead he loosely adapted motifs, creating designs of his own invention, typically in a more symmetrical pattern than Turkish prototypes.. Dish. French, Paris. ca. 1870.

Plum blossoms, which are among the first plants to flower in the early spring, are often associated with the evergreen pine and bamboo in Chinese art. Together, the three plants are known as the Three Friends of Winter, a motif symbolic of the Confucian virtues of endurance, modesty, and fortitude. The prominence given to the plum blossoms on this tray is unusual.

Hammered gold alloy; diameter: 8 cm (3 1/8 in.); overall: 9.9 cm (3 7/8 in.). North Coast ear ornaments typically have a long shaft that balanced the weight of the glorious frontal. This pair illustrates Chimú interest in the sea, which had great economic and religious importance. On the shafts are bands of seabirds and waves, and a similar pattern edges the frontals, which were altered in modern times. Originally solid disks, the frontals' centers were cut out and a dotted band was added to the rim.Saddle ( ) 17th-18th century Chinese In terms of quality and style of workmanship this saddle is extremely similar to some of the best imperial Chinese saddles, such as one owned by the emperor Qianlong (r. 1736-96) and preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing (G.171546). In addition to its very high quality, this saddle is also exceptional for having all of its original parts, including the elaborate seat cover of embroidered silk and the fittings of the saddletree. Although this type of saddle is often identified as Tibetan, the form of the saddle plates, the style of workmanship, and the type of saddletree, along with the similarity to imperial Chinese saddles, indicate it is more likely to be Chinese, perhaps from the imperial workshops. That it was used in Tibet, however, is demonstrated by the Tibetan letter ka, which is branded on the underside of the saddletree as a form of inventory number. It must have belonged to a Tibetan nobleman of the highest rank, possibly received Fragment majolica pancake dish, polychrome putto as performance, dish crockery holder soil find ceramic earthenware glaze tin glaze lead glaze, hand turned baked 2x glazed painted majolica Mirror on stand. en and hole in stand.

Local artists soon produced their own versions of Constatinopolitan fashions. This temple pendant of precious metals worked in cloisonné enamel or niello are local variants of the more intricately detailed works made for the Byzantine court.As in Byzantium, temple pendants may have been worn next to the face by both the men and the women of Rus. The works shown here were perhaps buried by their owners when the Mongol armies under Batu Khan sacked Kiev in 1240..

They were originally worn as bodice clasps, but as rich women demanded larger and heavier examples so as to display their wealth, these pieces were also sometimes suspended from a cloth band around the neck. This object is among the few Hungarian goldsmith pieces that the Museum had before the gift of the Salgo Collection.. Dress ornament (heftel). Hungarian. 18th century, with later alterations.

The stock market ends in the mFour-Cornered Hat 7th-9th century Wari Finely woven, brightly colored hats, customarily featuring a square crown, four sides, and four pointed tips, are most frequently associated with two ancient cultures of the Andes: the Wari and the Tiwanaku. The Wari Empire dominated the south-central highlands and the west coastal regions of what is now Peru from 500-1000 A.D. The Tiwanaku occupied the altiplano (high plain) directly south of Wari-populated areas around the same time, including territory now part of the modern country of Bolivia. The cultures not only developed and flourished as contemporaries, but also occupied adjacent lands for nearly four centuries. A Wari ceremonial center called Cerro Baúl was located a mere five miles from Tiwanaku-settled fields in the Moquegua Valley of Peru. The two cultures likely encountered each other at Cerro Baúl and elsewhere, but the nature of these interactions remains largely unknown. Four-cornered hats from both the Wari and the Tiwanaku were 35mm originalPortable Altar, c. 1200-1220. Germany, Cologne, Gothic Period, 13th century. Walrus ivory, gilded copper, porphyry, champlevé enamel, wood core; overall: 13.1 x 26.9 x 16.9 cm (5 3/16 x 10 9/16 x 6 5/8 in.). The principal decoration of this portable altar is carved of walrus ivory. On the long sides are traditional figures of standing apostles. On the short sides are the seated Virgin with the Magi, and Christ the Judge between the symbols of the Evangelists. The commercial ties between the Rhineland and the Norse peninsula made walrus ivory easily available to the city of Cologne, one of the most important artistic centers in medieval Germany.Bursa Reliquary. Culture: North Italian. Dimensions: Overall: 7 3/4 x 7 5/16 x 3 1/4in. (19.7 x 18.6 x 8.3cm). Date: 10th century.The flat, geometric, and abstract style of the designs on this reliquary is similar to ivory carvings and architectural decoration of Northern Italy. The openwork patterns of the bone plaques were originally silhouetted against gilded copper foil, creating a play of light and shadow. Traces of green and vermilion paint can still be seen accentuating the interlace borders of the designs. The religious purpose of this box is indicated by the "cross" that divides its face into four fields. Its shape derives from purses, or bursas, made of precious textiles in which saints' relics were carried. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Siege of a fortified city, Theodoor Loockemans, 1597 drawing In the center there is a Carré-shaped fortified city that is besieged. Around the city walls, fiercely fought by warriors who are equipped in a classical way. On the edge a triumphal trip in which a clock is carried on a cart on the right. At the top right, a group of prisoners of war runs into the parade, which further consists of riders and a victory with four horses on which is stuck in a classic outfit.

Ceramics-PotteryReliquary Casket 1190-1210 Limoges. This reliquary casket, with its vibrantly colored enamel fields, is typical of the objects created at the prolific workshops in and around Limoges, France, in the Middle Ages. By the end of the 12th century, opus lemovicense (Limoges work) had gained an international reputation, and documentary sources indicate that ornamentation with enamel was considered as precious as that with gemstones. Six figures of saints appear on the front panels of the casket, while a single saint is shown standing on each end panel. This decidedly nonspecific iconography would have made the casket appropriate for any number of churches and allowed it to house the relics of virtually any saint..

Stoneware with underglaze iron slip decoration (Mino ware); overall: 5.1 x 17 cm (2 x 6 11/16 in.).Pouch late 18th century Russian This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg. This small ornate bag was likely a gift for social or diplomatic purposes. The quality is evident in the use of precious metals in both the embroidery and woven in the fEar Plug 1375-1400, Majapahit period, Indonesia, East Java, gold and ruby. This ear plug was probably worn by royalty on ceremonial occasions. It would have fitted within a distended earlobe. Similar ear plugs have occasionally been found in earthenware pots buried in the ground.Gaming purse late 17th century French A new level of card game mania swept Europe during the 17th century. Gambling with cards or "gaming" was a favored pastime for both men and women of all ages and classes. Several examples of luxury gaming purses in the Brooklyn Museum collection reflect the fashion for a specific type of bag in which to hold one's coins or counters won in games like "Put" or "La Bête." Made of velvet or brocade, the bags are often heavily embroidered with silver and gold metallic threads. This example has a band of embroidered fleur-de-lis motifs, indication of a French origin. Like other fashionable accessories, the bag served more than just a functional purpose. It conveyed a message about the owner's nationalistic sympathies and allowed even the unlucky to appear stylish at the gaming table.. Gaming purse.

(12.7 x 30.48 cm), Clay, pigment, United States, 10th-12th century, The Ancient Puebloans (Anasazi) settled in small villages of pit-houses or pueblos that accommodated one or two extended family groups. An exception to this settlement pattern arose at the end of the 10th century when a huge complex of pueblos was built at Chaco Canyon, which became the center of Ancient Puebloan civilization. Similar small-scale adobe complexes sprung up at Canyon de Chelly and Mesa Verde, but in the 13th and 14th centuries, the inhabitants were forced to abandon their homes, possibly due to drought. Their descendents, who live in today's Pueblo villages, find inspiration in the remnants of their ancestors' pottery. The bold black and white geometric designs remain a popular style amongst contemporary Pueblo potters.colorful traditional asian skullcap cap on a dark background. traditional asian skullcapHat, c 1875-1917.

Its characteristic green color was likened to new plant shoots and was symbolic of regeneration, while its luster evoked the brilliance of the sun. Because Egyptians believed they could be reborn into the afterlife, these associations made faience the ideal material for funerary jewelry.Anonymous. Carmagnole plate. Earthenware.
