Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Feathered Panel A.D. 600-900 Wari The discovery of an ancient burial or ceremonial site in the upriver region of the Churunga Valley, in far south Peru, received little attention in the turbulent world of 1943. Decades later, it would take two generations of Andean scholars to painstakingly piece together the puzzling story of this discovery, which included the largest and most spectacular find of Precolumbian Peruvian feather work to date. Protected from decay by being rolled, placed into large ceramic jars, and buried in the arid soil, the cache included an estimated ninety-six panels, each densely covered with tens of thousands of small glossy macaw body feathers, primarily from the blue and yellow macaw (Ara ararauna). Although these panels were found in the dry western foothills of the Andes, the birds home is the Amazonian rainforest, far to the east. The effort required to secure such a mind-bogglingly large supply of either feathers or live birds suggests that colorful featherFragment Pijpensteel from the wreck of the East Indians Hollandia, Anonymous, 1700 - in Or Before 1743 Pipe, stem; fragment.

Before being acquired by William H. Riggs, this sword was in the collection of Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick (1783-1848), founder of the modern study of arms and armor. Meyrick purchased the sword from a London dealer in 1818. It was included in a watercolor by the French painter Eugène Delacroix (1797-1863), which he made during a visit to Meyricks collection in 1825. The sword was catalogued as possibly English in the early nineteenth century, but its place of origin remains uncertain.. Hand-and-a-Half Sword. European or possibly British. 15th century.

Middle Kingdom The water lily, more commonly known as the lotus, was one of the most ubiquitous plants and symbols of ancient Egypt. Its flower, which is either blue or white (Nymphaea coerulea and alba), closes up at night and reopens in the morning to reveal a central yellow circle radiating yellow petals. To the ancient Egyptians this phenomenon reflected the rising of the sun at the dawn of creation, and the flower was seen as a symbol of daily rebirth and rejuvenation.Two large wooden female offering bearers were found in the same tomb as this flower and a second one (25.3.283); the flowers might have been part of offerings that the women were carrying..
