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.

Avery, 1897 (97.2.84)Oboe 1837-38 Henri Brod French Henri Brod was a prominent performer, serving as first oboe of the Paris Opera and professor at the Conservatoire. In conjuction with his brother, he was also active as a maker. Brod is credited with various technical improvements to the instrument, two of which are found on this instrument: a rocking lever to connect the e'-flat and c' touchpiece and the d' half-hole key (still in use), which gives precise partial covering of the tone hole to facilitate overblowing in the upper octave. Despite technical developments that were increasingly being applied to the oboe and other woodwind imnstruments during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, Brod wrote that the oboe was most effective in slow, melodic passages.Techical description:Simple system oboe, stamped on all three sections with "BROD" (front) and "24" (rear side). The oboe is composed of three sections of boxwood and mounted with ivory sleeves.

Shafted WeaponsSpoon 15th century French The elaborateness of design and high quality of workmanship, as well as the preciousness of the materials, of this spoon indicate with certainty that it belonged to a person of rank. Unfortunately, neither the motifs nor the color scheme have been successfully associated with a particular family. This spoon, surmounted by a pomegranate finial, is executed in translucent green and purple enamel, separated by a band of white enamel, into which are impressed silver-gilt motifs: floral tracery, stars, radiant crescents, and pairs of ornamental symbols (possibly undeciphered initials). The technique of impressing enamel with metallic ornament links the spoon to a group of objects, which have pomegranate finials and gold stars impressed in the enamel. The beakers in this series have been associated with the painted enamel technique thought to have been developed in the Netherlands in the second quarter of the fifteenth century, though it has also been suggested thatLabor Inspectorate Photo Collection. 5x5 stool stamps. undatedGoldweight Scorpion, 20th century, 2 1/2 x 7/8 in.

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.
