Pochette early 18th century possibly French Dancing was an expected aristocratic accomplishment. Instruction was given at home by a visiting dance master, who played a small fiddle to provide music for the lessons. The compact, slender shape of these instruments made them easy to transport and gave them the name pochette, which suggests that they were carried in one's coat pocket. Elaborately decorated pochettes made of precious materials were often seen and collected as art objects in their own right.. Pochette. possibly French. early 18th century. Wood, ivory. France.

Arrowhead (Yanone) 18th century Japanese Although today Japanese warriors are renowned most for their swordsmanship, archery, especially from horseback, has been an essential part of samurai warfare and culture for centuries. Arrows were fitted with heads of varying shape according to their intended use in war, the hunt, or target practice. Arrowheads made for use on the battlefield incorporated different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel.Large arrowheads, pierced and elaborately chiseled with landscapes, birds, flowers, dragons, and Buddhist divinities, were created to be admired for the beauty of their metalwork and design rather than for use in archery. Such highly elaborate examples may have been made for presentation or as a votive offerings to a shrine.. Arrowhead (Yanone). Japanese. 18th century. Steel. Archery Equipment-Arrowheads

Sealing wax case (étui) 1777-78 Nicolas-Jean-Baptiste Choconain-Delauney In eighteenth-century Europe, Paris led the production of high-quality luxury goods. Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop. Snuffboxes were considered highly fashionabl

(76.04 x 8.73 x 1.11 cm), Wood, Australia, 19th-20th century, Bull roarers were used in Aboriginal ceremonies to represent the voices of the spirits.

The incised designs on the surface are a classic form in Aboriginal art, but their specific interpretation is known only to the object's creator and those associated with its ceremonial use. Specific clans and individuals own and control particular patterns, and rarely share the meaning of these designs with outsiders.

Sword. Culture: South Indian, possibly Deccan. Dimensions: L. 34 in. (86.5 cm); L. of blade 29 3/8 in. (74.5 cm); Wt. 2 lb. (916 g). Date: possibly late 17-18th century.This sword represents an Indian interpretation of Dhu'l Fiqar. The disk-shaped pommel and recurved knuckle guard are distinct features of Indian talwars, a type of saber. The scalloped, notched pattern running along the edges of the blade could refer to the historic belief of Dhu'l Fiqar's original appearance, as well as the derivation of the name; faqar means "vertebrae" or "notch.".

Vase 1893-96 Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany American This object forms part of a group of over forty given to the Museum in 1896 by Louisine and Henry Osborne Havemeyer (96.17.9-.56). The gift was the first American glass to enter the Museum's collection. Most likely prompted by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Havemeyers presented their collection of Tiffany Favrile glass to the Museum only three years after Tiffany started making decorative blown-glass vessels. The shapes, colors, and finishes of Tiffany's vases and plaques were inspired by the natural world and ancient glass. Tiffany's vases in the shapes of flowers are among his most fanciful creations. Some of the earliest were tall attenuated vases reminiscent of buds, like this example. They vary in their coloration from a pale green and white to darker, more opaque greens and reds.. Vase 9410
