(1139.8 g). Date: ca.1600.From the late sixteenth century onward, Mughal India actively exported goods to Europe, particularly to Portugal, where such inlaid work was treasured. While many Europeanizing elements are evident in the decoration of this box, the hunting scenes were originally inspired by Persian compositions, which had in turn become popular in Mughal painting. The undulating branches of the bird-filled trees against which the European hunters and animals have been set make this one of the most expressive pieces of its type. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Shawabty Box of Ditamenpaankh (cover), 715-656 BC. Egypt, Late Period, Dynasty 25. Painted wood; overall: 29.7 x 15.4 cm (11 11/16 x 6 1/16 in.). High demand for shawabtys in the Late Period, a time when as many as 400 or more shawabtys were placed in the tomb with the deceased, gave rise to a specialized container for storing them: the shawabty box. This example is inscribed for the lady of the house, Ditamenpaankh, and was probably one of a pair originally made for her. The single-masted boat on the boxs lid is perhaps an allusion to the pilgrimage of the deceased to the holy city of Abydos, the cult city of Osiris, king of the dead. The shawabtys inside are crude, mass-produced examples cast in an open mold. Made of terracotta, their blue paint imitates more costly shawabtys made of faience. As for the shawabty spell, it has been removed from its traditional location on the shawabtys front and relocated onto the sides of box, where it needed only to be written once, thus expeditiMiniaturechestSmall chest of the hares. 11th -12th c.

Vanderbilt, son of Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt, inherited a vast fortune and a lucrative transport business, which he expanded exponentially, becoming one of the wealthiest men in America. In 1879, to mark his elevated social and economic status, he built a mansion that spanned an entire city block on Fifth Avenue, between Fifty-First and Fifty-Second Streets. He commissioned Herter Brothers, one of the premier cabinetmaking firms in New York City, to decorate and furnish his home. In devising distinct decorative schemes for each room of the mansion, Herter Brothers drew inspiration from a wide range of historical styles and utilized expensive, exotic materials.Adjacent to the drawing room was the Japanese parlor.

The lid is embellished with a flowering plum tree and a warbler singing among the branches. The first song of the warbler is the harbinger of spring and, as an auspicious motif symbolizing a new beginning, is often featured in classical literature. (It is the main theme of chapter 23 of The Tale of Genji, centered on an exchange of New Years greetings.) The inside of the box is decorated with a frog among fallen plum blossoms and four characters that refer to the murmur of the river (see ill.). The frog is also associated with spring. In the kana preface of the Kokin wakashū by Ki no Tsurayuki, there is an often cited sentence: “The song of the warbler among the blossoms, the voice of the frog dwelling in the water—these teach us that every living creature sings.”.

SPAIN.Snuffbox 1757-58 Barnabé Sageret 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 fashionable accessories, with some merchants adverHexagonal box with gold panels decorated with vegetable and animal motifs, from Mycenae, GreeceLantaarn met wapens boven de ruiten.A lantern, for use in processions ().

Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Snuffbox with views at the chteau of Chanteloup 1748/49, miniatures 1767 Possibly by Pierre-François Delafons The miniatures that decorate this box lend it unusual importance and interest. The six scenes, which are painted in gouache on vellum, depict views of the Chteau de Chanteloup and of the gardens that surrounded it. The miniature on the lid, which provides the primary view of the chteau, is signed "Van Blarenberghe 1767." Three members of the Van Blarenberghe family painted miniatures, but these views of Chanteloup are attributed to Louis-Nicolas, considered the most talented of the three. His skills as a miniaturist were exceptional, and the small body of his work that survives provides an extraordinary record of various aspects of French life in the second half of the eighteenth century.Chanteloup was owned by Étienne-François de Choiseul-Stainville, duc de Choiseul (1719-1785).
