Acquired by the artist on the Paris World Fair 1900Shell Inscribed with the Cartouche of Senwosret I ca. 1961-1917 B.C. or later Middle Kingdom or later Polished down to its inner layer of nacre (mother of pearl), this iridescent oyster shell has been pierced with two holes so that it could be strung and hung around the neck. The royal name Senwosret has been incised into the surface. It is one of about fifty such shells known, most inscribed, like this example, with the nomen (birth name) Senwosret, or with the prenomen (throne name) Kheperkare. Since Kheperkare is the throne name of Senwosret I, it is generally assumed that it is this king (rather than another of the monarchs with the same name) who is meant here.Although few of these shells have archaeological contexts, several of those that do are connected with military personnel, and therefore may have been worn primarily by soldiers. However, there was no clear evidence of a military connection in the burial from which this example comes, and recent scholarship suggests that theSword Guard (Tsuba), c. 1615-1868.

Such games were predecessors of modern backgammon and widespread in Medieval Europe. Surviving ivory game pieces are rare, and this is the only known piece from a thirty-piece set. These unusual objects often depict sophisticated narrative and allegorical subjects. This carving may show a scene from the Odyssey, when King Menelaus drives a spear into the open jaws of the sea-god Proteus, transformed into a lioness or bearlike creature. Nearly 500 game pieces, along with game boards and boxes from various periods were donated by Ambassador Salgo to the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich..

BronzesPouch 1730-50 Russian This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg. Bags such as this were often given as gifts for social and diplomatic occasions. The quality materials and fine workmanship make this a particularly valuable piece..

Middle Kingdom Scrolls and spirals -whether single or interlocking, or in combination with hieroglyphs or floral motifs- already decorate the earliest types of scarabs and are common throughout the first half of the second millennium B.C. While their meaning and source of inspiration remains unknown, scroll designs are also appealing to the eye. A wide variety of combinations, some of which more complex than others, is found on Egyptian scarabs of the Middle Kingdom and scrolls become particularly popular during late Dynasty 12 and Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). While these designs continue to appear on scarabs in the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1640-1550 B.C.) and on contemporary Canaanite imitations, details in the composition or on the scarabs back or its legs allow the seal-amulet to be more precisely dated..

Iron; diameter: 8.3 cm (3 1/4 in.).FootedBowlPlate with Pelican in her Piety 15th century Netherlandish The motif of the pelican piercing its breast to feed its young with its blood became a popular symbol of the sacrifice of Christ during the late medieval and early Renaissance period. Represented in the middle of this plate with three of its young, the elegantly formed bird directs its beak toward its own breast in a charitable gesture of self-sacrifice. The design of this plate was executed through the traditional, painstaking method of brass beating. Certain motifs, like the pelican here, were repeated almost without variation for more efficient production, though the encircling motifs often varied from plate to plate, becoming more complex in many of the late fifteenth-century examples. Here, the central motif is surrounded by a circular design of grapes, intertwined with tendrils and vines. Many such plates were produced in Dinant, a French-speaking town in the Low Countries, which was the center of a flourishing metalworkiEngraved Gem and Ring; Italy; 2nd century; Gem: Jasper; Ring: Gold; 1.2 x 1.6 cm (1,2 x 5,8 in.)Galvanoplastic reproduction of a triangular salt barrel on three bol feet, fa.
