On this vessel, monster masks are cast in bold, high relief against a background of finely squared spirals, in a style that reflects the fullest development of Shang surface design. Each mask is composed of prominent horns, eyes, nose, upper jaw, and ears. The low ridge or flange, which bisects each mask, marks a division in the clay mold assembly used to cast this vessel. This type of three-legged cauldron is the most common of all ritual vessels; even after the end of Chinaís Bronze Age, it remained a symbol of the political authority and legitimacy of the ruling house. Cast on the inside wall is the family emblem Bing.Originally golden in color, this vessel developed a surface corrosion or patina during centuries of burial underground.

(51.44 x 40.64 x 40.64 cm), Plant fibers, United States, 19th-20th century, There are six major divisions among the Indé (Apache) peoples. Of them, the Jicarilla and Western Indé are most known for their baskets. The Western Indé construct coils made from cottonwood that are stitched with willow and devil's claw. Their baskets chief value is in its size and perfection of a streamline shape. Like their Piman neighbors, most Western Indé baskets were made for Euro-American customers by the turn of the century. Their two primary forms are shallow bowls and vase-shaped baskets. Simple baskets with modest designs were characteristic of the years between 1860 and 1890. The black rim of devil's claw is a common feature on Western Indé baskets. Designs on bowls radiate from the center, and in between the radiating spokes, Western Indé basket makers are known to add figures of dogs, deer or humans to their designs.Vatican group G57. Kyathos.

A short spout emerges from one side of the body just below the shoulder and connects to the rim. A rounded handle connects the shoulder and the rim on the other side. The pitcher is buff, with painted reddish-brown decorations, including three rays with crosshatching surrounding the spout and dots on the rim. The combination of the spout and painted decorations suggest the form of a bird. The body and neck were made separately on a wheel, with the handle and spout added later.This pitcher is very similar to those excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran. Sialk was the site of a fortified town, constructed in the early first millennium B.C. Several hundred yards from the town there was a large cemetery, called Necropolis B by the archaeologists who explored it between 1933 and 1937.
