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.

It made its way into Spain with the Moors and from about 1300 lent its name to the early European fiddle, the rebec, which was originally played with the rounded end on the lap just as the rabāb may be played today. Short-necked, bowed lutes from Algeria are made with decorative pierced brass fingerboards while those from Morocco use wood to cover the hollowed neck. The dolphin represented on the back of the instrument is a symbol of good luck for these Mediterranean cultures..

A radiating star is carved near the top of each panel and the interlaced letters A and M, for Ave Maria (Hail Mary), on the lower half which strongly suggests an ecclesiastical context. Once painted and part of a larger decorative ensemble, these pieces were among the model collection of woodwork, paneling and seat furniture of Maison Leys, a successful decorating business, located at the Place de la Madeleine in Paris. Since 1885 the business was directed by Georges Hoentschel who installed the collection in 1903 in a museum-like display at Boulevard Flandrin, Paris. Three years later, Hoentschel sold the collection to J. Pierpont Morgan who gave the panels with the rest of the decorators seventeenth and eighteenth century objects to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1907..

Culture: Zenú. Dimensions: H. 1 1/4 x W. 6 1/4 in. (3.2 x 15.9 cm). Date: A.D. 1-1000.This solid metal nose ornament was first cast by the lost wax technique, likely using gold or an alloy of gold with copper, and then hammered to its present shape and thickness. There are some archaeological ceramic figurines that show a person wearing a similar nose ornament by passing the central, semicircular loop through the septum, but it is uncertain whether this could be accomplished with a metal version, like the present example.1 A possible alternative is that the central, semicircular loop would have fit over a person's nose and the interior edges would have pressed into the nostrils, securing the ornament to the face. This ornament is the work of Zenú people, who lived and live today in the Caribbean Lowlands of Colombia. It belongs to the group, defined by Ana María Falchetti (1995, 74, 77), known as "nose ornaments with flat, horizontal extensions and half-moon ends" or Strip with alternating straw pattern of flour and star, anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1850  Strip of a leaf with alternating spreading pattern made of flower and star.

(19.1 x 92.7 x 213.4 cm). Date: last quarter of the 6th century B.C..A significant number of terracotta sarcophagi with a decorated upper rim have been found at Klazomenai and at Old Smyrna, East Greek sites on the west coast of Asia Minor; given their size and weight, it is assumed that they were manufactured locally. Before the funeral, the sarcophagus was apparently buried up to the height of the upper rim. After the deceased was laid inside during the funeral ceremony, a stone lid was placed over the sarcophagus and earth was piled up to mark the grave site. On this example, the upper zone of the lid is decorated with a battle scene. Four foot soldiers clash over a fallen warrior, while a winged figure and a chariot approach from either side. Details on the figures were originally indicated in white. On the sides of the rim stand a centaur and a siren; below, two lions attacNit of bone. 5 cms x 3, 5 cm Thickness 0.2 cm (12th- 14 th) - Medieval period belonging of the " Burgo de Santiuste Museum" in Alcalá de Henares.
