Netherlands, Take note of this figure and what she says: She learns to keep measure, in all that one does and sees, Representation of the proverb 'Think before you start', verso - stamped, Moralistic representation that is sometimes interpreted as a cartoon of the Arminians or of the counts of Egmond and Hoorne. Possibly a cartoon of the Bishop of Munster or Prince Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, based on the note of the date 1674 3, 24 (24 March) on the print. The inscription in the middle 'Sy leert mee, in al datmen doet en siet' (She learns to keep measure, in all that one does and sees) better describes the subject of the representation. The subject can also be expressed as: 'Bezient eer ge begint' (Think before you start) or 'He works himself into a corner'. Despite the warnings of an old man, a young man dives into the wide opening of a large horn. However, he then gets stuck in the narrow end. On the right, a laughing jester looks out of the window.

Mantle ("The Paracas Textile") Nasca. Mantle ("The Paracas Textile"), 100-300 C.E. Cotton, camelid fiber, 24 5/8 × 58 11/16 in. (62.5 × 149 cm).  This extraordinarily complex mantle, or cloak, is one of the most renowned Andean textiles in the world. It was most likely used as a ceremonial object. The ninety figures decorating the border, created by needle knitting, have been interpreted as a microcosm of life on Perus South Coast two thousand years ago, with a particular focus on agriculture. Many of the images illustrate native flora and fauna as well as cultivated plants. Costumed figures may represent humans impersonating gods and acting as intermediaries between the real and supernatural worlds. Severed human trophy heads are shown as germinating seeds, suggesting the practice of ritual sacrifice and the interconnected cycles of birth and death. Este extraordinariamente complejo manto, o capa, es uno de los textiles andinos más conocidos en el mundo. Fue usado probablemente como

Siyah Kalem or 'Black Pen' is the name given to the 15th century school of painting attributed to Mehmed Siyah Kalem. Nothing is known of his life, but his work indicates that he was of Central Asian Turkic origin, and thoroughly familiar with camp and military life. The paintings appear in the 'Conqueror's Albums', so named because two portraits of Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror are present in one of them. The albums are made up of miniatures taken from manuscripts of the 14th, 15th, and early 16th centuries, and one series of paintings is inscribed 'work of Master Muhammad Siyah Kalem'. Something of the style and techniques of Chinese paintings is apparent in these, and an acquaintance with Buddhist art, particularly in the depictions of grotesque demonic figures.
