Date: ca. 1270-1300.Through the course of the thirteenth century, goldsmiths in Limoges increasingly specialized in the creation of gilded copper sculpture--freestanding, as here, or in relief, with enamel used only as a decorative accent. As Queen of Heaven, the Virgin Mary wears a crown (as does the infant Jesus), richly decorated shoes, a cloak engraved with a fur pattern, and a delicate filigree brooch. The inscription across the front of the statuette reads, in translation, "Hail Mary, full of grace." This is more than a devotional image: with a hinged compartment set in the back of the throne, this Virgin and Child served as a tabernacle to safeguard the host, the waferof bread consecrated during the mass as the body of Christ. An enameled image of Saint Peter, holding keys, stands guard at the door. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Earring 19th century Eastern Tibet. Earring. Eastern Tibet. 19th century.

Author: LLUÍS MASRIERA I ROSÉS.A pendant depicting a ba-bird with outstretched wings 664-332 B.C.

The ba-bird was the part of a human activated after death: it was commissioned to visit the world of living as well as oversee critical events during the deceaseds passage from this world to the next. The earliest, a gold foil example, was included in Tutankhamuns mummy (ca. 1327 B.C.), but those of Dynasty 26 and later (664-332 B.C.), parallel the one here..
