Author: Giovanni Vincenzo Melone.Bronze mirror ca. 250-200 B.C. Etruscan Engraved design with two men and two women: two outer figures are men wearing Phrygian hats and boots. Between them stand two women, one mostly nude, the other clothed, each turning toward the man next to her. In the absence of inscriptions identifying the figures, the male twins are usually called Castor and Pollux, the Dioskouroi; the two central figures are harder to identify: the nude female may be Turan (Aphrodite, Venus) or Helen, the Dioskouroi's sister; the dressed figure with Phrygian hat is probably Minerva..

Byzantine Gold Coins The vast number of surviving Byzantine coins attests to the level of trade across the empire. Controlled and supervised by the emperor, the producers of coins took care to represent his authority and reflect his stature. Talented artists were recruited to engrave the dies (molds) used for the striking of coins. Emperors increasingly came to include their heirs and co-emperors on their coinage, as well as other family members or even earlier rulers. Coins were recognized, then as now, as small, portable works of art. With their inscriptions and images, Byzantine coins provide valuable documentation of historical events and a record of the physical appearance of the emperors. The coins shown here include the solidus, the basic gold coin of 24 karats; the tremissis, a gold coin of one-third the weight and value of the solidus; and the nomisma, whiPiet Pietersz.

Some show no signs of use, while others are quite worn.The AvarsThe Avars were a nomadic tribe of mounted warriors from the Eurasian steppe. The Byzantine emperor Justinian negotiated with them in the sixth century to protect the Empires northern border along the Black Sea. Emboldened by their subjugation of numerous tribes, they unsuccessfully attempted to seize the Empires capital, Constantinople. They remained a scourge of both Byzantium and the Western kingdoms until Charlemagne defeated them through a series of campaigns in the 790s and early 800s.All the money and treasure that the Avars had been years amassing was seized, and no war in which the Franks have ever engaged.. brought them such riches and such booty. Up to that time the Avars had passed for a poor people, but so much gold and silver was found.. that one may well thinkPendant; Designed by André Galle (France, 1761 - 1844); gilt bronze; Diam.: 8.8 cm (3 7/16 in.); 1956-38-1Medallion; s-spun, z-twist linen. wefts: z-spun linen, z-spun wool, s-spun woolJean-Paul Marat (1743-1793), Member of Parliament Anonymous.

Author: North Italian 14th Century.Plate with David's Confrontation with Eliab 629-630 Byzantine In 628-29 the Byzantine emperor Herakleios (r. 610-41) successfully ended a long, costly war with Persia and regained Jerusalem, Egypt, and other Byzantine territory. Silver stamps dating to 613-29/30 on the reverse of these masterpieces place their manufacture in Herakleioss reign. The biblical figures on the plates wear the costume of the early Byzantine court, suggesting to the viewer that, like Saul and David, the Byzantine emperor was a ruler chosen by God. Elaborate dishes used for display at banquets were common in the late Roman and early Byzantine world; generally decorated with classical themes, these objects conveyed wealth, social status, and learning. This set of silver plates may be the earliest surviving example of the use of biblical scenes for such displays. Their intended arrangement may have closely followed the biblical order of the events, and their display may have conformed to the shape of a ChristogrAstrolabe, 11th century, ArabianNUMISMATICA.

Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addalte taschenuhr picture of old out of order watch pocket watch LicenseRF Copyright: xZoonar.com/nehruxsulejmanovskix 23211661North Italian 14th Century, Costume Ornament with Profile Portrait, c 1380 1400 North Italian 14th Century, Costume Ornament with Profile Portrait, c. 1380/1400, repoussé silver, gilded, and translucent enamel, attached to a strip of velvet, Samuel H.
