(160.02 x 206.85 cm), Twill-weave silk with supplementary weft patterning, Japan, 19th century, Kariginu, literally 'hunting robe' was originally an informal jacket worn by noblemen during Japan's Heian era (794-1185). Later, elite warriors donned kariginu as their most formal garment. Since warrior-patrons expressed their appreciation for fine performances by presenting actors with articles from their own lavish wardrobes, it is likely that the first kariginu used on stage were originally worn by samurai-aristocrats. This robe is decorated with an overall pattern of octagons connected by smaller squares to the left, right, top, and bottom, a design the Japanese call 'shokkō' (Shuchiang in Chinese), after a style favored in neighboring China during the Ming dynasty. Kariginu with the shokkōpattern are reserved for the most lofty of all Nō roles, that of the god-like Okina (divine Souvenir 18th century possibly French or German In eighteenth-century Europe, Paris led the production of high-quality luxury goods. Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop. Snuffboxes were considered highly fashionable accessories, with some Mummy Net with Amulets Made 818 BCE-656 BCE Egypt. Faience .
