(5.08 x 33.02 cm), Shells, thread, Solomon Islands, 19th centuryFurniture ornaments ca. 9th-8th century B.C. Assyrian These nine square blue glass plaques with six-petal rosettes were found at Arslan Tash, together with a large group of carved ivory furniture inlays. The glass plaques were probably also used to decorate luxurious furniture made of wood, ivory, or a combination of both. Each blue square is decorated with a white six-petal rosette, mounted into a reddish glass setting now oxidized to green, and framed by a corroded copper-alloy frame. Some of the white petals penetrate the blue squares and are visible on both sides, suggesting that the white petals may have been fused within the blue glass, perhaps in a manufacturing technique known as fused-mosaic glass. In this method of glass-working, threads of glass of contrasting colors are fused together to produce a long cane with a design in cross-section that is then stretched and sliced crosswise. The production of these pieces probably involved Phoenician craftsmen who were expert at inlaCircle filling with leaf motifs, Pierre Bourdon, 1703 print Leaf motifs with a mask at the bottom.

Sketchbook containing drawings in graphite on wove paper, 4 1/16 x 6 5/8 x 3/8 in. (10.3 x 16.8 x 1 cm). Richards first traveled to Europe in 1855, remaining abroad for a year and spending most of the time in Italy. Like so many artists before him, Richards was overjoyed to be in Florence: I have not as yet realized that I am in Italy that all the dreams of a boyhood are fulfilled.” Richards carried this small sketchbook on a walking tour in the Apennine mountains in October 1855. The carefully drawn vista shown here of the broad valley through which the Arno river winds reminded Richards, always quick to compare American and European landscape scenery, of the view of the Hudson from the Catskill Mountain House.
