Abruzzo L'Aquila Sulmona Museo Civico9. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Museo Civico Treasures: these objects (Tesoro del Pio Istituto della SS. Annunziata and Tesoro della Cattedrale) are now housed in the security vault of a bank, not in the Museo Civico, as noted in Hutzel's photo campaign notes of August 1984. Views of the treasures include: a silver processional cross (14th century); gold, silver and enamel chalice (13th century), gold and silver crosier with sculpted figures depicting the Annunciation (13th century), a silver and gold reliquary with glass (13th century), a silver diadem (13th century), and a box-like silver and gold reliquary (15th century). German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as welAmulet of a Cobra with Lioness Head 400 BCE-400 CE Egypt.

Iran This silver bead consists of a central tube with four coils emerging from it. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort, where the bead was found.The bead was discovered in a bronze bowl containing 231 pieces of silver, including jewelry, ingots and scraps.
