The armor is represented in a portrait of the prince painted by Federico Barocci soon after Francesco Maria returned to Urbino following his participation in the destruction of the Turkish fleet at the battle of Lepanto in October 1571. It is not known if Francesco Maria wore this armor during the battle or if he had it made afterward to celebrate his role in this historic victory.The heavy weight of the breastplate suggests that it was intended for battlefield use. The Barocci portrait depicts the prince wearing an infantry armor, which includes an open-faced helmet (burgonet) and a shield.

The pair was made by Fabergés chief silversmith, German-born Julius Rappoport, in Moscow, where the majority of gold and silver objects were crafted. Small in size, the pair may have been used in more intimate settings, as opposed to larger banquets or public gathering areas.Vase 19th century Italian, Venice (Murano). Vase.

(60.4 x 30.5 x 21.6 cm), Bronze, China, 18th century, Standard ritual bronzes cast for the altar comprise five vessels (wu gang), a censer, two candlesticks, and a pair of vases. Early woodblock prints depict these objects formally arranged in a line across the altar table with the censer used as a centerpiece flanked by candlesticks with the vases at the two ends. Ritual bronze vessels like these, made for the imperial palaces and temples, were governed by state regulations under a section titled, 'Rules for Making Sacrificial Vessels and Ornaments for Temple Use.' The archaistic décor including taotie masks and cicada blades against a spiral ground is a revival of a Song dynasty (960-1279) style which was itself an interpretation of ancient Shang and Zhou (16th c. - 221 BCE) ritual bronzes. Each vessel of this large and important set bears the six-character reign mark of the Yongzheng emperor (1723-35), and the censer and can. Oil and vinegar set.

The shanks (the levers on the sides of the bit to which the reins were attached), are shaped as waving snakes or dragons, their heads hidden behind the large copper alloy bosses. These bosses, contemporary but not originally attached to this bit, bear a proverb in French stamped on their rims. They belong to a large group of bosses, some inscribed, produced in Northern France or in the Southern Netherlands (see also 42.50.227).

Date: late 15th century.Helmets of this type are usually called turban helmets becuase of their large bulbous shape and the flutings that imitate the folds of a turban. Because certain dervish groups wore turbans wound with a prescribed number of folds to represent an important mystical number, it is likely that turban helmets were regarded not merely as armor but also as a kind of religious insignia, their very shape marking the wearer as a fighter in a Holy War.Turban helmets, together with mail-and-plate armor of matching decoration, were intended for the heavy cavalry and are recorded as early as the fourteenth century. The examples exhibited here appear to have belonged to the dynasty of Ak-Koyunlu (White Sheep Turkoman), which ruled northwestern Iran and Anatolia in the fifteenth century.

Its elaborate form suggests it was placed in a shrine where it was seen rather than enclosed in a solid masonry stupa. A similar masonry stupa in a monastic cell at the site of Kalawan attests to veneration of this stupa type in the late Gandharan tradition..

(38.26 x 30.96 x 12.07 cm), Silver, United States, Hanukkah commemorates the victory of the Jewish people over Greco-Syrian rule. This victory included cleansing and rededicating the Temple as well as rekindling the lights of the Temple Menorah. To remember these events, Jewish people continue to light the candles of the Hanukkah menorah, or chanukiah, during an eight-day long celebration. The traditional blessing over the candles is found inscribed on the top portion of this benchform chanukiahAbruzzo, L'Aquila, Sulmona, Museo Civico, Italy, 20th century, photo, photography, Europe.

(28.58 cm), Bronze, Japan, 12th century, As early as the ninth century, the Japanese began to bury sutras (Buddhist sacred texts). Scrolls were put into bronze or ceramic containers and placed within small stone chambers over which earth was heaped. This practice arose in response to belief in mappō, or the decline of the Buddhist Law, which was calculated to commence in 1052. During mappō, the world would be chaotic and people would be incapable of following the Buddha's teaching until the arrival of Miroku, the Buddha of the Future. Sutras were buried to preserve the sacred scriptures until Miroku arrived.Guitar. Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Height: 36 in. (91.4 cm)Width: 10 5/8 in. (27 cm)Depth: 3 7/8 in. (9.8 cm). Date: ca. 1800.This highly decorated guitar is also an early example of a six-string, single-course guitar. The elaborate decoration features classical figures, musical instruments, and floral motifs made from ebony and fit into an ivory ground covering the back, sides, neck, and headstock of the guitar. A second guitar at the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments features the same decoration, only in reverse, indicating that the decoration was made at the same time by cutting through thin layers of stacked ebony and ivory. A portrait in the center of the upper back is believed to be of Giovanni Paisiello based on his 1791 portrait. Paisiello was a composer of opera and many of his works were transcribed for use on other instruments and his pieces were a favorite of guitarists. The fingerboard is covered with tortoiseshell over read paint with an ivory satyr inlaid where tBell (Zhong) 5th-3rd century B.C.

Like the nao, the zhong is found in odd-numbered sets of bells of graduated size and pitch. Struck with a long-stemmed, T-shaped beater, the bells have excellent musical qualities, such as a clear sound that decays rapidly and a defined and focused pitch.

This clock, presented in April 1752 to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, appears to be the first equation clock by Berthoud, who came to specialize in timekeepers showing both solar time, which varies slightly according to the season, and mean solar time, which is stable throughout the year. The trunk of Lieutauds case swells just above the base, enclosing a shaped opening to show the pendulum. The curved outline of the case is not only in keeping with the rococo style popular in the mid-eighteenth century but also highlights Berthouds cutting-edge technology of the time..
