Southern Netherlands earthenwarePunch-Marked Coin, 400-300 BC. India, Rajasthan, Maurya Period (322-185 BC). Silver; overall: 1.4 x 1.2 cm (9/16 x 1/2 in.). After Alexander of Macedon succeeded in conquering Egypt and Persia in 331 BC, his ambition to rule the known world led him further east across Bactria in Afghanistan, through the Hindu Kush mountain pass, and into India. There he succeeded in defeating all the local kings of the region until his men, on the brink of mutiny, insisted that they return to Greece. Alexander left governors in charge of his territories, and after his death in 323 BC, his governors became independent kings, establishing Hellenistic cities and a Greek cultural base in the region, which lasted for almost 200 years. Native Indian coinage was marked with symbols associated with the place where they were issued.Carnavalet museum, medal collection Right heads faced with Barbès and Raspail, surmounted by a level of equality and followed by a faith.Lead cover, shield-shaped for covering the nails of a lead roof cover.

The impressing of carved stones into clay to seal containers had a long tradition in Mesopotamia, with the earliest evidence found in Syria dating to the seventh millennium B.C. During the Ubaid period, the variety of designs carved on seals expanded from simple geometric forms to include animals with humans, snakes, and birds. Seals like this one with deeply carved animal motifs became characteristic of northern Syria and southeastern Anatolia. It is decorated with a four-legged horned animal. Above the animal is a leaf shape, possibly a stylized bird, while two bent lines under its body may represent vegetation or perhaps snakes..

The bar-shaped scabbard slide, used for suspending a long iron weapon from a low-slung leather belt, saw widespread distribution throughout the Mediterranean, Central and Western Asia, and the Ural steppe (southern Russia), where it likely originated in the 7th/6th century B.C. The earliest scabbard slides, used by cavalry as well as nomadic tribes engaged in hunting and herding, were likely made of stone, wood, and metal. Nomadic horsemen who occupied Chinaís northern and Central Asian steppe regions likely introduced the scabbard slide to craftsmen in central and southern China, who designed elegant versions like this in jade. These, in turn, inspired imitations in commoner stones by later craftsmen of the steppe regions. The scabbard slide therefore seems to have traveled full circleóeastward to China and from there, westward again..

Dimensions: 1.35 in. (3.43 cm). Date: ca. 16th-12th century B.C..Although engraved stones had been used as early as the seventh millennium B.C. to stamp impressions in clay, the invention in the fourth millennium B.C. of carved cylinders that could be rolled over clay allowed the development of more complex seal designs. These cylinder seals, first used in Mesopotamia, served as a mark of ownership or identification. Seals were either impressed on lumps of clay that were used to close jars, doors, and baskets, or they were rolled onto clay tablets that recorded information about commercial or legal transactions. The seals were often made of precious stones. Protective properties may have been ascribed to both the material itself and the carved designs. Seals are important to the study of ancient Near Eastern art because many examples survive from every period and can, therefore, help to define chronological phases.

ENGLAND.Funerary Cone of the Scribe Nebamun ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom This cone has the impression of a stamp seal inscribed for a man named Nebamun, who served as a scribe of accounts of the grain belonging to the god Amun during the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. He was owner of Theban Tomb 179 (TT 179) in the Khokha cemetery of Western Thebes. Unlike the majority of New Kingdom cone inscriptions, which give the name and titles of the tomb owner, this one also identifies his father as a scribe named Itef (or perhaps Iti), and his mother as Ahmose.The area around Nebamun's tomb was cleared in the 1910-1911 field season by Norman DeGaris Davies, director of the Graphic Section of the Museum's Egyptian Expedition. This cone and another of the same type came to the Museum in the division of finds.During the 1926-27 field season, the Museum's excavators uncovered a Middle Kingdom tomb (MMA 110) with rows of unstamped cones embedded along the upper edge of the façade (see fig. 1)Engraved Gem; Italy; 1st - 2nd century; Sardonyx; 1.5 x 0.4 x 1.8 cm (9,16 x 3,16 x 11,16 in.)Planets-manager.
