Stela of Qenamun worshipping Amenhotep I and Senwosret I ca. 1479-1390 B.C. New Kingdom Amenhotep I, second pharaoh of the New Kingdom, was the focus of a popular cult best attested in monuments from the town of the royal tomb builders at Deir el-Medina. On this stela, which probably comes from the vicinity of this town, a priest named Qenamun burns incense and pours a libation before figures of Amenhotep I (right) and a second deified monarch, Senwosret I of the Middle Kingdom (left). The kings are seated on thrones set on a low platform, with an offering table heaped with choice foods in front of them. Qenamun, his head shaved in priestly fashion, stands before the platform to perform an offering ritual. In the two lines of text at the bottom of the stela a small kneeling figure of Qenamun asks that Amun-Re give offerings to the divine Amenhotep I..

The Afrasiab painting is a rare example of Sogdian art. It was discovered in 1965 when the local authorities decided on the construction of a road through the middle of Afrasiab mound, the old site of pre-Mongol Samarkand. It is now preserved in a special museum on the Afrasiab mound. It is the main painting we have of ancient Sogdian art. The painting dates back to the middle of the 7th century CE. On the four walls of the room of a private house, three or four different countries neighbouring Central Asia are depicted. On the northern wall China (a Chinese festival, with the Empress on a boat, and the Emperor hunting), on the Southern Wall Samarkand (the Iranian world: a religious funerary procession in honor of the ancestors during the Nowruz festival), on the eastern wall India (as the land of the astrologers and of the pygmies, but the painting is much destroyed there). The topic on the main wall, the western wall facing the entrance is debated between specialists. Turkish soldier

This extraordinarily complex mantle, or cloak, is one of the most renowned Andean textiles in the world. It was most likely used as a ceremonial object. The ninety figures decorating the border, created by needle knitting, have been interpreted as a microcosm of life on Perus South Coast two thousand years ago, with a particular focus on agriculture. Many of the images illustrate native flora and fauna as well as cultivated plants. Costumed figures may represent humans impersonating gods and acting as intermediaries between the real and supernatural worlds. Severed human trophy heads are shown as germinating seeds, suggesting the practice of ritual sacrifice and the interconnected cycles of birth and death.
