New Kingdom Two caches of hunting weapons were found in the limestone chip debris below the tomb of Senenmut (TT 71) on Sheikh Abd el-Qurna hill. One cache included two bows (36.3.211, .212) and fifteen arrows (36.3.213-.227). The bows are recurve selfbows made of single pieces of an open-grained, pliable wood. Both bows were intentionally broken into sections no more than a meter (about 39 inches) in length.. Recurve Selfbow. ca. 1492-1473 B.C.. wood. New Kingdom.

Women in the Andes wear tupus in order to fasten textile garments. Tupus, made of metal, usually consist of two parts: a head and a stem. On the present example, the width of the head gradually broadens moving away from the stem. While the long sides of the head are rectilinear, its top edge is circular. The tupu’s stem slightly narrows near its end, farther from the head. The stem may have terminated in a point, a useful feature of tupus for pushing them into the textile garments. Today, the stem appears incomplete. At some stage in this object’s itinerary, the pointed end may have broken off. This end is especially fragile considering the substantial corrosion that is evident. Similar to Metropolitan Museum of Art 64.228.606, there is no perforation visible on the head. This suggests that a person wore this tupu without necessarily thrArrow Head, 1700s. Japan, Edo period (1615-1868). Iron; average: 25.1 cm (9 7/8 in.).Flag CaneBow, 1800s.

Dimensions: L. 45.4 cm (17 7/8 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: Joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Date: ca. 1479-1458 B.C..This whip handle probably had leather thongs attached to the slot at the top. It is inscribed with the name and title of Nebiri, who was the skipper of a boat. The inscription also names Senenmut, a well known official in the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Among Senenmut's titles was "Overseer of Works" which probably included oversight the boats that transported supplies for various building projects. Traces of blue paint have been found in the hieroglyphs.As skipper of a boat, Nebiri may have used the whip to keep time for his crew of oarsmen, as seen in the detail of a wall painting shown above.

UnknownHarpoon head Japan The Jmon period is the earliest period in Japanese history, lasting from roughly 14,000 to 300 BCE. The Jmon people were primarily hunter-gatherers, hunting land animals and gathering vegetables and nuts on the land as well as hunting and fishing at sea. Harpoon heads such as this one testify to the importance of seafood in the diets of some Jmon communities, especially those close to the sea. Fish bones found at Jmon archaeological sites indicate that the Jmon hunted fish not only close to the shore but also farther out in the open sea, where larger fish could be caught. There is even evidence that the Jmon ate pufferfish, a poisonous fish considered a delicacy in modern Japan.. Harpoon head. Japan. Bone. Final Jmon period (ca. 1000-300 B.C.).

(44.77 x 6.67 cm), Bamboo, Papua New Guinea, 20th century, Betel chewing is a common practice throughout India, Indonesia, and Oceania. Frequently called betel nut, a 'chew' actually consists of three components; a paste made from the crushed kernel of an areca palm nut, the fruit or leaf of the betel-pepper plant, and a quantity of powdered lime, obtained from burnt coral or shell. Often this combination takes the form of a small bite-sized package which is placed in the cheek and chewed in a manner similar to chewing tobacco.Knife with Porcelain Handle Knife; porcelain, brass; L x W: 16.7 x 1.4 cm (6 9/16 x 9/16 in.); The Robert L.

It was excavated at Surkh Dum, a settlement site in Luristan in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. It was found in a structure interpreted as a sanctuary and was thus probably an offering to a god. Such pins were probably used to fasten clothing and as objects of adornment in their own right.

The fittings were made by Otsuryken Masanobu (, 1773-), who was the fourth generation of the Hamano () School. Some fittings are inscribed with the supplements “made at the age of sixty-two” and “made at the age of sixty-three,” demonstrating the lengthy time it took the artist to produce the full set. The lower parts of the scabbard are lacquered by implementing broad brush strokes, a technique that is referred to as seikaiha-nuri (lit. “blue waves lacquer”). View more.

Novelty walking sticks, which might include umbrellas, flasks, guns, musical instruments, or other items were fashionable accessories for gentlemen of all ages. Flutes and violins were the most popular instrument walking sticks. This is a fairly typical example of a walking-stick violin hidden inside a mahogany body topped with an ornamental handle. The violin is hidden beneath a rounded cover that is held in place with metal bands. Once removed, the instrument along with an accompanying bow is revealed. The soundboard of the instrument is of spruce and the fingerboard is made from ebony. The strings of the violin are tuned by small iron pins that are tuned with a key. The instrument is similar to other surviving instruments with printed labels of Moritz Wilhelm Glaesel..
