Dimensions: L. 53.3 x Diam. 3 cm (21 x 1 3/16 in.)Section L. 112 mm (barrel/ mouthpiece); 242 mm (middle section); 179 mm (stock/ bell). Date: 1750-70.The clarinet was invented by J. C. Denner of Nuremberg around the year 1700. The first form of the instrument had two keys, like those found on this clarinet (which are modern replacements). The two-keyed version of the instrument survived until about 1770. Two-keyed clarinets are extraordinarily rare, and this is the only known example in the western hemisphere. The body of this instrument is made of three boxwood sections, the mouthpiece and barrel, an undivided middle section, and the stock and bell. The instrument is unsigned, and the mouthpiece and barrel section are probably from another instrument though of the same period and were probably joined with the other sections at an early date.

The braided copper wires on the pommel may represent an earlier Scandinavian custom of tying a protective talisman to a sword hilt. The pattern-welded blade was forged of intertwined rods of steel and iron, a technique that produced a tough yet resilient blade with a distinctive swirling pattern on its surface. Such blades were treasured for both their practical and decorative qualities. Listen to experts illuminate this artwork's story Listen Play or pause #4401.

Instruction was given at home by a visiting dance master, who played a small fiddle to provide music for the lessons. The compact, slender shape of these instruments made them easy to transport and gave them the name pochette, which suggests that they were carried in one's coat pocket. Elaborately decorated pochettes made of precious materials were often seen and collected as art objects in their own right.. Pochette 505410Dagger with Sheath 19th century Turkish This dagger belongs to a large group of flamboyant gem-studded weapons that were probably made in Istanbul in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. Their traditional shapes and luxurious materials were intended to evoke romantic notions of the exotic orient, Arabian Nights, or perhaps the sultans treasury. As most of these weapons are found today in American and European collections rather than in Turkish museums, they may have been made exclusively for Western tourists..

The Jōmon people were primarily hunter-gatherers, hunting land animals and gathering vegetables and nuts on the land as well as hunting and fishing at sea. Harpoon heads such as this one testify to the importance of seafood in the diets of some Jōmon communities, especially those close to the sea. Fish bones found at Jōmon archaeological sites indicate that the Jōmon hunted fish not only close to the shore but also farther out in the open sea, where larger fish could be caught. There is even evidence that the Jōmon ate pufferfish, a poisonous fish considered a delicacy in modern Japan..

Brush handles are commonly constructed from bamboo, but some brushes have handles of sandalwood, jade, carved bone or ivory, and other precious materials as demonstrated by these examples. During late imperial times, artists catered to the tastes of gentlemen collectors and elaborated brushes with motifs derived from folklore, legends, superstitious beliefs as well as religious subjects from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism.Model of a Windsail, anonymous, c. 1850 - c. 1870 demonstration model Model of a cooling sail.

The ensemble consists of characters traditional to eighteenth-century Italian Christmas holiday customs. The Nativity, featuring the holy family, shepherds and their flocks, and a host of angels and cherubs is joined by the procession of the three Magi and colorful peasants, townspeople, and animals. The figures have articulated bodies of tow and wire with polychromed terracotta heads, and are all in partially distressed condition.These vibrant characters are further brought to life by a wide-ranging set of cloth, embroidery, leather, wicker, wax, and silver accessories.
