Mirror 101 CE-200 CE Roman Empire. Artemis (the Roman Diana), or a Roman lady with divine fantasies, after her bath in a rustic, woodland setting, is the subject of the tondo in relief on the back of this Roman hand mirror. Her cloak is draped over the rocks on which she sits, and she holds the end wrapped around a small hand mirror in her raised left hand, a divine celebration of the uses of the mirror in a Roman household. The landscape in front of her, to the right, recalls the paintings and reliefs from houses around the Bay of Naples before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The quiver of the goddess leans against the base of a garlanded altar with a small herm on top. A second terminal figure, Priapis, the god of gardens and fertility, tilts back while facing to the right on the ledge at the right. The bovine skull in the right foreground suggests the sacrifice after a successful hunt.. Reflective disk bronze; repoussÈ disk brass . Ancient Roman

Commemorating Lindbergh's Trans-Atlantic Flight, 1927. Artist: Frederick William MacMonnies (American, New York 1863-1937 New York). Dimensions: Diam. 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm). Date: 1931.Although MacMonnies earned greatest recognition for his monumental statuary, he supplemented his income with small-scale sculpture and medallic work. This medal was commissioned in 1931 by the Society of Medalists, a New York-based collectors' organization established the preceding year to support superior medallic efforts. The Society gave artists the freedom to choose their own subject matter, and MacMonnies commemorated Charles Lindbergh's May 1927 transatlantic flight from New York to Paris. The obverse presents a heroic portrait of the aviator; the reverse portrays a lone eagle battling wind and lightening as the figure of Death retreats in defeat.
