An 18th-century Korean collector Yu Man-joo (1755-1788) wrote that spending money on luxury clothing, dishes, and decorations for the home is a waste, but acquiring fancy writing tools helps to develop elegant taste and high-mindedness.” Inspired by aesthetic discourses on elegance versus vulgarity in late Ming Chinese literature, Korean collectors in the late 1700s and 1800s strove to assemble objects that would display their intellect and sophisticated taste. Stationery objects in particular—printed books, finely crafted brushes, brush holders, ink stones, water droppers, stone wares with grayish-white crackled glazes as well as bronze vessels, and incense burners—were all objects that reflected pure and elegant taste.Japan, 20th century - Toshiba radio, 1950's.ESCUDO O RODELA DE PASEO DE CARLOS V CON LEON -INV.D2 - FABRICACION ITALIANA - SIGLO XVI.

(21.75 x 29.21 cm), Gilt bronze, China, 2nd century, The Queen Mother of the west, Hsi Wang Mu, is shown seated at her throne with a winged tiger and dragon rampant at either side. Wearing a crown and voluminous robes, she faces south with the dragon protecting the east and the tiger, the west. Hsi Wang Mu was the Queen of Mount Kun lun, the sacred mountain of immortality, and by Eastern Han (25-220 a.d.) she had been incorporated into the Taoist pantheon. Her image within a tomb represented the Taoist spiritual cultivation toward immortality and eternal happiness. The tiger and dragon, standard directional animals most likely were understood as protectors of the eastern and western directions. This basic Hsi Wang Mu also appears in bronze mirrors and money trees discussed in eastern Han tombs of Szechwan province, where Taoism has its origins.Sword Guard (Tsuba) ca. 1800 Japanese A tsuba is a sword guard and part of a sword mounting.

Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Disk Ornament 6th-7th century Moche (Loma Negra) This gilded copper disk featuring a three-dimensional butterfly at its center was produced by Moche metalsmiths on Perus North Coast. The ornament was originally cut from a larger sheet of hammered copper and then gilded (Lechtman, 1982; Schorsch, 1998). The disk features a solid roundel at the center surrounded by concentric bands of step motifs. The outermost ring is adorned with gilded dangles suspended by copper bands attached to the back of the disk. There are additional disks at vertices within the roundel yielding what must have been a dazzling spectacle when displayed in the sun. The gilded butterfly is represented with notable attention to anatomical detail, including its spread spotted wings, each inscribed with the wing veins, an abdomen with the sections apparent, and a head inlaid with shell and turquoise eyes. The insect is attached to the main body of the disk by six thin copper legs. These appendages would have permittedTile 12th-14th century French. Tile. French. 12th-14th century. Glazed earthenware.

Attributed to the Marlay Painter Interior, symposium (drinking party)Exterior, obverse and reverse, seated man and woman with phiale (libation bowl)While the execution is not refined, the composition of the cup is artful indeed.
