Dimensions: Diam. 8 1/2 in. (21.6 cm); D. 5/8 in. (1.6 cm). Date: 11th-12th century.Zao Gongen, the protector deity of Mount Kinpusen in Nara (Yoshino district), is considered the local Shinto manifestation of Buddhist deities as well as one of the most important divinities of the Japanese religious mountain practice shugendo. Here, the three-eyed Zao holds a vajra (thunderbolt) in his right hand, and stands with his right foot raised and his left hand at his hip. He is always depicted in a dynamic posture, full of energy and vitality. According to legend, the founder of shugendo, En no Gyoja (634-ca. 700), prayed on Kinpusen for a deity who could save all sentient beings, and the fierce Zao was chosen for the task. This mirror was excavated at the mountain, where many sutras (Buddhist scriptures) were buried to preserve Buddhist teachings.

Date: early 16th century.The rosary, a fifteen-part prayer developed primarily by the Dominican order, grew in popularity during the fifteenth century. Chains of beads called chaplets or rosaries helped devotees to keep track of the sequence during prayer. Wealthy patrons commissioned beads of the finest craftsmanship and materials, but even at the height of production, beads that open like miniature tabernacles are thought to have been quite rare. The Biblical inscriptions include an exhortation to open the bead and meditate on the scene within: "Attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow" (Lamentations 1:12).

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 lBowl.

Iron ; diameter: 7.4 cm (2 15/16 in.).Helmet Crest (Maidate) 18th-19th century Japanese The symbolism conveyed by a representational helmet and face mask could be enhanced by the use of a detachable crest (maidate), usually mounted on the front of the helmet just above the brim. Crests are sometimes made of iron, but more frequently they combine delicate materials such as leather, paper-mché, or gilt and lacquered wood. Crest designs of the Edo period include a wide range of family heraldry (mon), naturalistic renditions of plants and animals, and sacred imagery. These same decorative themes are also featured on embossed iron breastplates of the period. The relatively broad surface of a breastplate afforded a skilled armorer ample room to display his talents as a metalworker and his inventiveness as an artist.This crest and breastplate (36.25.347) share a common sacred theme: the invocation of the war god Hachiman through the display of the characters representing his name.

The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages..
