Cernuschi museum, Asia Museum of Asia in the city of Paris.Key 15th century German The decoration of Gothic iron locks and keys was often elaborate and of the highest standard of workmanship. The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages..

Ancient Egyptians used sickles such as this to harvest the grain that they made into bread and beer for daily consumption and for funerary offerings. Many tomb reliefs show sickles in use, such as in the Old Kingdom tomb of Raemkai (MMA 08.201.1) and in the New Kingdom tomb of Sennedjem (MMA 30.4.2).Sharp pieces of flint (now missing) were set into a groove on the interior of the curved part of the sickle, and held in place with an adhesive. Some of the adhesive still remains in the groove. The handle of this sickle is missing, but was originally attached with small pegs, two of which are still in place. The placement of the pegs and handle indicate that this sickle was probably made for a right-handed farmer.. Sickle Fragment. ca. 1186-1070 B.C.. Wood. New Kingdom, Ramesside.
