Culture: China (Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Central Asia). Dimensions: Diam. 1 1/4 in. (3.2 cm). Date: 7th-9th century.The nomadic communities of Central Asia used such plaques to embellish clothing and horse trappings. As these nomadic cultures herded animals and were constantly moving, their artistic production was expressed in portable objects that marked the wearer's status and wealth. The outstanding preservation of these fragile ornaments suggests they were used in conjunction with burials, where the body was aggrandized with valuable textiles and augmented with gold. Although it is difficult to date and place these objects geographically, their presence in Central Asia and has a long, established history.

Stoneware (jasperware) . Wedgwood Manufactory (Manufacturer)Pair of Rowel Spurs first half 17th century South German This very ornamental pair of spurs is chiseled and pierced with geometrical motifs, and each object features three flower-shaped pierced rowels. Some types of spurs with several rowels were sometimes used in the 17th century with particularly difficult horses. However, on this pair it seems to be more an ornamental luxurious feature, for a pair worn like a piece of jewelry, than a truly equestrian improvement. For example, the outer rowel of each spur is without function since it would never touch the horse's flank. Such spurs are known in Germany since the mid-16th century. This type of chiseled and pierced decoration was used by the spur makers in eastern Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers not only made spurs, but also all the small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs, sometimes adorned with the same intricate decoration..

Foote Fraternal societies of freemasons, first introduced into the American colonies around 1730, became increasingly popular following the Revolutionary War. The enthusiasm for Freemasonry went hand in hand with a growing interest in the Enlightenment and with ideals of equality. Having developed originally out of craft guilds, Freemasonry often adopted symbols of the craftsfor instance the architect's square as a symbol of virtueas well as religious and heraldic devices. Jewelry formed an important part of the regalia. This shield-shaped silver medal was made as a personal jewel for Lockwood N. DeForest, a member of Jerusalem Chapter No. 13 of Bridgeport, Connecticut. It is engraved with various masonic devices and scripts, as well as with DeForest's own emblem of a three-masted schooner flying a pennant and the American flag and the date June 8, 1826. The signature of the engraver, C. Foote, appears below the sailing ship.. Masonic Medal Vintage Photograph.
