Beaker with birds and animals ca. 4th century B.C. The ancient land of Thrace encompassed a large area now divided into Bulgaria, southern Romania, eastern Yugoslavia, northeastern Greece, and European Turkey. The first inhabitants of Thrace came from the northern part of Europe and appeared at least as early as the second millennium B.C. Thracian tribes of the mid-first millennium B.C. adopted some of the decorative traditions and nomadic habits of their Scythian neighbors to the east, but they had closer cultural relations with European prehistoric peoples and preserved many of the traditions of the European Bronze Age. From the mid-first millennium, such objects as ceremonial helmets, armor, cups, and ornamental gear for horsesworked from silver and sometimes gildedhave been discovered in graves and in finds that must have been the buried hoards of Thracian princes and chiefs.This silver beaker is a fine example of fourth century B.C. Thracian workmanship. It probably was made in

Terracotta hydria: kalpis (water jar) ca. 510 B.C. Greek, Attic On the shoulder, chariotThis vase was made at a time when the red-figure technique was becoming established and the relation between glazed and unglazed areas was a matter of considerable experimentation. The concept of a panel goes back to the early sixth century B.C., but the easy curves of the shape and the band between the handles indicate a different age..

Figure Drum 2nd-1st century B.C. Paracas Music was an integral part of daily and ceremonial life in ancient Peru. Essential to religious and political celebrations, it was also performed for entertainment and recreation and accompanied herding and work in the fields. Songs served to tell myths and history. Andean music was played on percussion instruments such as drums and wind instruments including whistles, panpipes, flutes, and trumpets. Ceramic drums with central bulbous sounding chambers were made by Peru's southern coastal peoples during the last few centuries before the Christian era. On this remarkable example, which still preserves much of the original resin paint, a frontal, rotund body of a human figure is depicted. Outstretched, spindly arms extend horizontally on the bulging chamber and broad, snakelike streamers emanate from the figure's waist. They encircle the drum and may denote a supernatural connection. The head is cone-shaped and has modeled, slightly protruding eye

Goblet decorated with quadrupeds ca. early 4th millennium B.C. This goblet has a flat base, straight sides, and an everted rim. It is made of buff clay, with painted brown decorations, including crosshatching and checkerboard patterns. These decorations also feature an animal with a stylized body, a long neck, a drooping tail, and crescent-shaped ears that extend to the rim. Wheel lines on the interior indicate that it was made on a potters wheel.The shape and decoration of this beaker resembles that of vessels excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran, though there are no exact parallels for the unusual shape of the animals horns. The site of Sialk is spread over two mounds. The northern mound was inhabited from ca. 6000 to 4000 B.C., and the southern mound, where similar pottery to this was found, from ca. 4000 B.C. until 2500 B.C., when the site abandoned for nearly a millennium.The animal on this beaker, possibly some sort of canine, cannot be identified with any speci

Vase with cover late 17th-early 18th century Spanish, Valencia Tin-glazed earthenware, of which lusterware is one type, was developed in the Middle East in the ninth and tenth centuries to imitate the porcelains produced in China. The opaque white glaze concealed the clay body, which could range from pale buff to brick red, allowing for brilliant effects created by painting the white surface with metal oxides that fired to a range of colors. This technique, as well as the use of metallic lusteran iridescent, coppery painted glazespread throughout the Muslim world, arriving among the potters of Valencia in the thirteenth century. The so-called Hispano-Moresque lusterware, with its fusion of Islamic and Gothic styles and motifs, often in shaped imitating those of metal vessels, was treasured by the elite in Spain during the fifteenth century and exported to the courts of Europe. The Valencian industry declined in the late sixteenth century, as colorful Italian Renaissance maiolica gain

Two-handled vase ca. 1495-1510 Italian, probably Gubbio In the late fourteenth century, Spanish potters developed a technique called lustering that gave their earthenware a shimmering iridescence. Italian potters went to Spain as spies to learn the secret recipe, and a century later, artists in Umbria became the first in Italy to master the technique. The initials on this pot (R and F) may refer to a couple—such vases were probably purchased by newlyweds putting together their household.. Two-handled vase 199752

Bell (nao) Made 1046 BCE-771 BCE China. Bells of this type are among Chinaís earliest percussion instruments. Many have been unearthed from mountain slopes and along riverbanks in south China. This area was occupied by distinctive cultures that coexisted with the Shang and Western Zhou dynasties. Along this southern frontier, it appears that large bronze bells were more important than bronze vessels to the local aristocracy.This bell was designed to be mounted on its hollow stem with its curved mouth facing up and struck from the outside with a mallet. Unlike other types of bronze bells that were assembled as chime sets, this one was intended to be played as an individual instrument. It may have been sounded during ceremonies or military campaigns. The eyebrow-shaped lines that skim the margins of this bell depict imaginary dragons or realistic reptiles.. Bronze .
