Date: early 15th century (1419 with alterations after 1478).University scepters, generally made in pairs during the Middle Ages, were carried at the head of academic processions and signified the authority of the university faculty. The engraving on the handle states that this scepter was given in penance to the cathedral chapter of Lübeck in 1478. The circumstances are unknown, but it is probable that the heraldic shield with the arms of the bishopric of Lübeck and the figure of Saint John the Baptist, one of the patron saints of the cathedral, were added at this time. It is thought that this scepter was made for the University of Rostock and that its mate, much altered, is now in the St. Annen- Museum in LübeckArrow Point, 1700s. Japan, Edo period (1615-1868).

Date: ca. 1780.This seemingly unique hunting garniture was made for Maximilian Franz of Austria (1756-1801), the youngest son of Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780), presumably before he became Prince Archbishop and Elector of Cologne in 1784.

(40.01 x 10.95 x 0.64 cm), Pale greenish-blue nephrite (jade), China, 12th-11th century BCE, The innately beautiful bluish-green color of this ritual scepter, with its russet inclusions combines with a simplicity and elegance of form to elevate this ancient object to a realm of aesthetic grace that is timeless. Ceremonial weapons and implements represent some of the earliest Chinese jades as the origins of this type of object lies in the Neolithic period. It was largely during the early Bronze Age however, in Shang and Western Zhou, that some utilitarian weapon types evolved into a limited group of particular shapes executed in precious jade that held ritual significance in important political and social ceremonies. Most of the ceremonial jade scepters that have survived were buried in tombs suggesting they also held significance for the spirit in the afterlife.

Today, the whistle's use varies with each community, but in the past a leader used it to direct Grass Dance singers to resume or cease their songs. Some dancers held these symbolic crane-headed whistles as they flattened the grass during their dance.The sole opening in the shaft of the whistle is a duct window. Carved and hollowed from a single piece of wood and wrapped in red-dyed strips of reeds, this whistle features two braided lengths of sweetgrass lashed to its underside. Sweetgrass is considered sacred and used as a means of purification in many tribes. A collar of red-dyed, quilled spokeswith small rolled-metal cones and dyed down feathers surround the crane's beak. Two elongated tethers with feather adornment are attached at the collar's base.Shakugio 19th century Japanese This sistrum (rattle) is used both in Buddhist and Shinto ritual.. Shakugio.

Arrows were fitted with heads of varying shape according to their intended use in war, the hunt, or target practice. Arrowheads made for use on the battlefield incorporated different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel.Large arrowheads, pierced and elaborately chiseled with landscapes, birds, flowers, dragons, and Buddhist divinities, were created to be admired for the beauty of their metalwork and design rather than for use in archery. Such highly elaborate examples may have been made for presentation or as a votive offerings to a shrine.. Arrowhead (Yanone). Japanese. 18th century. Steel. Archery Equipment-ArrowheadsKnife 1786-87 French, Paris An intricate vocabulary of techniques has been used in the enameling of the handle. The wider panels are in basse taille; a deep translucent blue laid over wave-patterned gold ground has been further decorated with a pattern composed of small pieces of gold and colored foil embedded between layers of the enamel. Framing and contrasting with these shimmering panels are bands of opaque and translucent colors in a raised technique associated with the Geneva-born enameler Jean Cotteau (1739-after 1812), who was working at the Sèvres Manufactory in the same vein 1780-84.Knives of this delicacy were probably not used on the dining table although it is possible this example might have been a fruit knife.
