Iran This boss, a type of raised ornamentation, is decorated with four incised ibexes and a knob in the center ending in a rosette. Its function is uncertain but a riveted loop at the back may indicate that it could have been used as horse harness decoration.In 1947 a treasure was reputedly found at a mound near the village of Ziwiye in northwestern Iran. Objects attributed to Ziwiye are stylistically similar to Assyrian art of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C. as well as to the art of contemporary Syria, Urartu, and Scythia. Many objects of gold, silver, bronze, ivory, and ceramic have since appeared on the antiquities market with the provenance of Ziwiye, although there is no way to verify this identification..

The role of the turbaned, bearded man on a high stepped stool--a figure who bears the conventional traits of older, wise, educated, or religious men--remains enigmatic.

The symmetrical pattern of two peacocks facing each other finds iconographic precedents in examples dating from the late antique and Byzantine periods, where it often carried paradisiacal connotations. The exterior is painted with a simple pattern of circles and lines. The underside of the foot is glazed and bears an Arabic inscription. Monochrome luster examples such as this were characteristic of the "second phase" of Abbasid lusterware, which developed in centers in Iraq in the tenth century..

The figure holds a head in his left hand and a crescent-bladed knife (tumi) in his right hand. A crescent headdress and a loincloth complete the figures adornments. Four bands, each bisected by a line, emanate outward from the figure. Such rays may represent the eight legs of a spider (Alva, 2008; Cordy-Collins, 1992). The metal removed to create the circular holes was likely repurposed to create the dangles, each held in place by wires fixed to the back of the disk and suspended near each cut-out hole. Other circular dangles are suspended along the circumference of the disk, as well as from the figures tunic and rays. In its original state the shimmering of the gilded disks must have been striking. In Moche iconography, figures holding a trophy head and a tumi knife have been identiPlate ca. 1775-1800 John Leidy I. Plate 5997Bowl 13th century. Bowl 451433VASO DEL AMOR CON FONDO ESMALTADO S XVI. Location: CATEDRAL-INTERIOR. Toledo. SPAIN.Ceramic probably 8th-12th century This object was excavated at Nishapur.Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments.NishapurTile.

Bronze with garnets, glass, mother of pearl, gold foil, traces of gilding; bronze and glass; overall: 7.1 x 2.7 cm (2 13/16 x 1 1/16 in.). The art of the European Migration Period (3rd-7th centuries AD) is almost exclusively one of personal adornment-a portable art that followed men and women to their graves. Belt buckles with large rectangular attachment plates have been discovered in cemeteries across the Iberian Peninsula-now occupied by Spain and Portugal-from the period of Visigothic occupation (about AD 412-711). Their decoration varies. Finer examples, like this one, are distinguished by brilliantly inlaid semi-precious stones and colored glass. Garnets were especially prized in Visigothic society for use in cloisonné jewelry. The technique involved the fitting of carefully cut pieces of polished garnet into an intricate grid of compartments, or cloisons. This buckle is so densely inlaid with garnets thaToy dessert plate - Charles Allerton & Sons Charles Allerton & SonsThree Hungarian-Style Shields. Culture: Eastern European. Dimensions: 42.50.29: H. 50 in. (127 cm); W. 20 in. (50.8 cm); 42.50.30: H. 45 in. (114.3 cm); W. 25 in. (63.5 cm); 49.57.1: H. 32 1/2 in. (82.55 cm); W. 21 5/8 in. (54.91 cm). Date: ca. 1500-1550.These wing-shaped shields, with the distinctive upward-sweeping back edge, were the characteristic light-cavalry shields of Hungary. During the sixteenth century, the style was adopted across much of eastern Europe by both Christian and Islamic horsemen. The shield's elongated upper edge was designed to defend the back of the head and neck against cuts from a saber, the preferred cavalry weapon in that region.The shield on the right is painted on its exterior with the double-bladed sword of the prophet Muhammad and on its interior with the Crucifix and instruments of the Passion. This unusual mix of Islamic and Christian symbols suggests that the shield was used in a tournament by a Christian warrior dressed in Muslim fashion. In theFragment of Dish 13th-14th century.
