Easily reproduced with a tool and visible in many cultures and times, this symbol may have lost its meaning, and become simply a decorative pattern, or may have one that we have not yet discovered..

Buff stoneware with ash glaze, lacquer lid; Shigaraki ware, 6 x 6 1/2 in. (15.2 x 16.5 cm).  Whereas most potters take care to filter rocks out of their clay, the potters of the Shigaraki region understand that the texture created by rocky bits of quartz and feldspar adds tactile and visual interest to their wares. The artisans add only minimal glaze, letting the surface retain its graininess. Shigaraki, east of Kyōto, has been a kiln site for centuries, originally making utilitarian pieces such as storage jars and mortars. When the tea ceremony gained popularity in the sixteenth century, Shigaraki ceramicists were quick to adapt to the tea masters demands for rustic but engaging vessels, such as this deceptively simple water jar.

Old Assyrian Trading Colony This piece is one of several furniture elements, carved in the form of lion legs, probably found at the site of a palace at Acemhöyük in central Anatolia. The massive size of the upper part of the leg suggests this represents the animals rear leg. One hooked claw is visible in side view. Like the other pieces of this type in the Metropolitan Museums collection (36.70.5, 36.152.1), this leg sits on a base with horizontal grooves. The overall gray color indicates that the object was exposed to considerable heat, perhaps during the destruction of the palace. Traces of gold foil still remain on the base of this leg, although not on the others. The legs were most likely carved out of hippopotamus incisors, as the ends of the pulp cavities are preserved in the upper parts. Dowel holes on the flanks allowed for attachment to an upper element. The positioning of mortises and dowel holes on the paws suggests that Miniature thô. Janne excavations. Culture of Dong Son. Bronze. 2nd half of the 1st millennium BC.

This precious bronze object is a votive, or devotional gift, made as an offering to the gods. They come in many forms, such as animals, beads and brooches. Many seem once to have been attached to something else. Votives were hung from sacred trees or placed in sanctuaries around Greece. Once a shrine was full, the votives were ceremonially buried to make room for more offerings.. Bronze .

These itineraries are often referred 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 fTerracotta spindle whorl ca. 2000-1725 B.C.

Chariot group 241356Blackware Bowl 12th-8th century B.C. Olmec A potter created this small bowl by hand likely through the coiling technique, then smoothing the walls with a palette, painting the surface with a dark-colored slip composed of minerals dissolved in water, and burnishing the surface to achieve a shiny luster. An artist then gouged and incised linear abstract designs around the body of the vessel to imbue it with a symbolic significance. Reportedly from Las Bocas, Puebla, the vessel is consistent with many found in a widespread Olmec style with supernatural motifs. Such vessels were important for community feasts, and many were subsequently placed in burials as important funerary offerings. Further readingBenson, Elizabeth P., and Beatriz de la Fuente, eds.

Late Period or Ptolemaic Period Small Late Period and Ptolemaic reliefs or sculptures that depict a subject in a partial or unfinished way but are themselves complete objects constitute a special class of object. Guidelines like those for artists are often prominently exhibited as part of the object, although, in fact, many instances can be noted where the object simply could not serve as a suitable model for a traditional formal Egyptian representation. Personifications of kingship, figures that may represent the now emerging demigods Imhotep and Amenhotep Son of Hapu, and popular gods like Harpokrates or Isis, are heavily represented within the corpus. Taken together, the figures represented and the other features indicate the reliefs and sculptures of this class, sometimes called by Egyptologists "sculptors models / votives," were the material of a donation practice, perhaps connected with the prolific temple building of these centuriesIncense burner 2nd-1st century B.C.

Date: 2nd half of 3rd century B.C..Askoi shaped like animals were commonly used as lamp fillers; the oil was introduced into the askos via the small inlet off to the side, and was then poured out through a tiny hole under the beak into the lamp in a smooth and controlled stream. Although Magenta ware is believed to have been made across the Graeco-Roman world, the prevalence with which animal-shaped askoi have been found in Italy suggests an Italic origin for this piece as well.
