The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire..

This tradition ranges from approximately 500 B.C. to A.D. 450. A person likely would have worn this plaque in burial. Objects like this one only may have been accessible to a few people. This is suggested by the emerging differences in materials with which people were buried at this time in Northwest Argentina. The plaque is approximately hexagonal, although it can be considered part of an assemblage usually referred to as "oval plaques" (see, for example, A. González 1992, 14). It displays a consistent thickness across its surface, and shows a very slight overall concavity, with the obverse side slightly raised. There are two elliptical holes at the top of the plaque. At the center, there is an hourglass-shaped area of metal that has been removed. Compared to the outer edges of the plaque, which are rounded and relatively smooth, the eBreastplate in the Maximilian Style, c.1510-30. Germany, Nuremberg(), early 16th century. Steel, brass rivets; overall: 48.3 x 40.3 x 16 cm (19 x 15 7/8 x 6 5/16 in.). Distinguished by its regularly fluted surfaces, armor in this style was popularized in South Germany during the early 1500s. The style is usually called "Maximilian," as it was introduced during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I (1493-1519). The style reflects male costume of the period and the shift to the new rounded forms of the Renaissance. Other examples of this armor style may be seen nearby.Bell Cardinal (Inscription: Glorie) Zygmuntów Tower, Wawel Cathedral, Krakow B KOWSKI, J.Model of a bell (Yong Zhong) 5th century B.C. China During the Eastern Zhou period, graduated sets of bronze bells became an important adjunct to courtly ceremonies as well as a mark of elite status.

Dimensions: H. 21.6 cm (8-1/2 in.); Diam. of head 21.6 cm (9-1/2 in.). Date: late 19th century.The tabla, a cylindrical handdrum and baya, a kettle drum are performed together as a set of drums used to accompany the classical music and dance traditions of North India. Modern tabla sets usually feature smaller right-hand drums (tabla) made of wood and much larger left-hand drums (baya) made of clay or metal. During the nineteenth century the two drums were much closer in size than they are today. The development of the tabla in 18th and early 19th century corresponds with the development of the modern sitar and sarod and the gaining popularity of new genres of music and dance.
