The Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper with St. Peter and St. Paul mid-16th century Mexican This feather mosaic triptych from 16th-century Mexico is one of just three that survive. It was created by indigenous featherworkers who adapted the pre-Hispanic technique to Christian use. An altar card, it pictures the Last Supper as the first Mass. The Latin text beneath the image begins: For this is my body. For this is the chalice of my blood.” Feather mosaics were highly prized by Europeans for their exotic origin and appearance. The present work, which can be traced to a Florentine collection, was among the objects of curious pictorial art” given to the Museum in 1888 by a Manhattan law firm..

A dakini (Sanskrit: ḍākinī; Tibetan: khandroma) is a tantric deity described as a female embodiment of enlightened energy. In the Tibetan language, dakini is rendered khandroma which means 'she who traverses the sky' or 'she who moves in space'. Sometimes the term is translated poetically as 'sky dancer' or 'sky walker'. The dakini, in all her varied forms, is an important figure in Tibetan Buddhism. She is so central to the requirements for a practitioner to attain full enlightenment as a Buddha that she appears in a tantric formulation of the Buddhist Three Jewels refuge formula known as the Three Roots. Most commonly she appears as the protector, alongside a guru and yidam (enlightened being). Although dakini figures appear in Hinduism and in the Bön tradition, dakini are particularly prevalent in Vajrayana Buddhism and have been particularly conceived in Tibetan Buddhism where the dakini, generally of volatile or wrathful temperament, act somewhat as a muse for spiritual practice.

The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated manuscript gospel book produced around the year 700 CE in a monastery on Lindisfarne Island, off the coast of Northumberland. It is now on display in the British Library in London. The manuscript is one of the finest works in the unique style of Hiberno-Saxon or Insular art, combining Mediterranean, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic elements. The Lindisfarne Gospels are presumed to be the work of a monk named Eadfrith, who became Bishop of Lindisfarne in 698 and died in 721. Current scholarship indicates a date around 715, and it is believed they were produced in honour of St. Cuthbert. However, it is also possible that Eadfrith produced them prior to 698, in order to commemorate the elevation of Cuthbert's relics in that year, which is also thought to have been the occasion for which the St Cuthbert Gospel was produced. The Gospels are richly illustrated in the insular style, and were originally encased in a fine leather binding covered with jewels and m

Investiture Certificate of Sister Maria Theresa Baglioni Made 1712-1722 Italy. This elaborate illuminated manuscript page marked Maria Theresa Baglioniís investiture as a nun in the Augustinian convent of Santa Marta in Venice in 1717. During the ceremony, in addition to renouncing all property and vowing to live in abstinence until death, she likely recited the standard ritualistic formula of promises of obedience to God, the pope, and Saint Augustine, which are reproduced on the illusionistic scroll at the center of this parchment sheet. Augustine and the Virgin Mary are seen at the upper left and center, respectively, while the abbeyís patron saint, Saint Martha, tamed dragon in tow, appears at the lower left..
