Tobacco Box 19th century Japan Natural forms and textures are keenly observed and translated into metal in this exquisitely fashioned box designed to fit the pockets of Western waistcoats and jackets that began to be worn in Japan in the late 1870s. Its surfaces are hammered to simulate weathered lily-pads and other forms of pond life in astonishing detail. The hinge is disguised as the long body of a dragonfly; the clasp opens by pressing a tiny silver knob in the shape of a snail. A striped frog in high relief is inlaid on the surface, its colorful smooth, wet skin rendered in several alloys of copper and silver with gold accents. Skilled chiseling gives the leaping toad nearby its characteristic rough, dry skin.. Tobacco Box 52099

$Set of four enamelled silver plaquettes 1520-30 German, Augsburg or Nuremberg These sculptural reliefs (2015.388.1-.4) display extraordinary, jewel-like enameling accomplished through an innovative technique involving molten glass paste built up over an armature of gold wires on a silver base. In expressive detail, they represent four scenes of Christs Passion at a tiny scale—fully appreciable only to those privileged enough to view the reliefs at close range. (The compositions owe more than a little to the Small Passion print series by the famous Northern Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer.) Expensive as they were, the plaques would have been worth only a fraction of the treasure in the container they decorated: most likely some lost relic, imbued with spiritual power and believed to bridge our world with the divine..

Saddle (Kura) dated 1658 Japanese Japanese saddles are distinguished by an ingeniously simple method of construction combined with a virtually inexhaustible range of decorative motifs. The construction consists, typically, of only four pieces of skillfully shaped wood, which are held together by mortise-and-tenon joints and fastened in place by hemp or leather lacing. The surfaces are covered in Japanese lacquer (urushi) and often incorporate designs in gold or silver and inlays of ivory, mother-of-pearl, or abalone shell.This saddle is a particularly fine example of black-and-gold lacquer with extensive abalone-shell inlay. It is especially distinctive as it is possibly the only example with inlay of this kind that is signed, dated, and made for a known family. The underside is marked with the as-yet-unidentified kao (seal or monogram) of the saddle maker and with the date Meireki yon sai (equivalent to 1658). The outside of the pommel and cantle is decorated in gold with the mon (her

Bead with face canes 30 B.C.-A.D. 364 Roman Period A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar. The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear outwards.. Bead with face canes. 30 B.C.-A.D. 364. Glass. Roman Period. From Egypt

Scarab with Satyr Carrying an Amphora. Unknown

Inlay, satyr. Dimensions: H. 3.1 × W. 1.5 cm (1 1/4 × 9/16 in.). Date: 100 BC-100 AD.A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar. The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear outwards.Such elements could also be used side by side to create repeating patterns. Or if the rod presented one half of an element that was symmetrical, such as a face, a tile and a reversed tile from the same rod could be put together to form a complete whole.
