UnknownCovered jar 12th-13th century China. Covered jar 42480Bowl 1-100 Roman Period Most of the archaeological finds from the Tomb of Nespekashuty originate from the courtyard and first chamber of the tomb. While the relief finds can be assigned with confidence to the tomb, the other general finds and graffiti testify to a long usage life. This medium-sized bowl dates to the early Roman Period, probably first century AD, some seven hundred years after Nespekashuty's burial.The courtyard finds help to sketch the long life and various incarnations of the tomb. Nespekashuty had used for his tomb the courtyard and causeway of an earlier Dynasty 11 tomb of a high official of Mentuhotep II. That tomb's position in the northern cliffs of Deir el Bahri, and above the subsequently built temple of Hatshepsut made it suited for certain reuses. Already in the Third Intermediate Period the tomb was reused for a burial and seemingly for overflow off offerings from the Hathor Shrine in Hatshepsut's Temple. Possibly such a bond with the Hathor Shrine played a Tea Bowl (yan-kou wan), 12th-13th century, 2 15/16 x 5 1/4 in. (7.5 x 13.34 cm), Chien ware Dark-brown stoneware with dark-brown glaze and iron oxide markings, China, 12th-13th century, Highly respected items of the court during the reign of Emperor Hui Zong (r. 1101-1125), Jian ware tea bowls from Kiangsu province came in two sizes; this classic example can be considered the larger variety. Appearing bluish black, a deep brown glaze covers the bowl stopping in a thick welt above the foot. Because the molten glaze crawled downward in firing, the lip is left virtually unglazed. In the upper portions, a dense pattern of russet streaks known as 'hare's-fur' extend from the lip toward the vessel floor, both inside and outside the deep bowl. Northern Song (960-1127) texts suggest that these distinctly glazed bowls were used to prepare the white whipped tea then in vogue.Tripod Vessel 480 BCE-221 BCE China.

MetalLamp 9th-10th century This object was excavated at Nishapur.Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments.Nishapur lost its poCovered Jar.

Old Kingdom An essential rite performed during the funeral ceremonies was the "Opening of the Mouth." Thought to have evoked the rituals carried out at the birth of a child, this served to restore the senses of the newly deceased (resident in spirit within the mummified body or a statue), so that he or she could once again breathe, speak, eat, drink, see, and hear.This vessel is part of a set used for this ceremony. It would have held milk, or salt or fresh water (see also 14.7.92; 14.7.93; and 14.7.94).For a complete set of implements for this ritual, see 07.228.117a-h..

Date: 11th-12th century.Molds such as this one were widely used in ceramic production in north China, particularly after the eleventh century, and are thought to have become common in an attempt to meet the growing demands for ceramic of various types at the time. As can be seen in the model bowl made using this mold, the clay was fitted over the mold in order to impress a design prior to covering the bowl with clay and firing it. Use of molds allowed for faster production than the hand-shaped and hand-carved decoration used earlier.

These vessels are datable to the twelfth-thirteenth centuries. The large leaf designs like those on this bowl are apparently derived from peony leaves. They are amongst the most common motifs on this small group of bowls, although spiral designs and feathery, frond-like leaf patterns, have also been found.Rosewater sprinkler or bottle with powder blue and light brown, anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1724 Rose water dropper or porcelain porcelain with spherical body with a horizontal, brought-in line and thickenings in the long, narrow neck, covered with underly glaze blue and café-auit glaze.
