Several elements of the garniture survive, six of which (including this one) are preserved in the Metropolitan Museum's collection. Made by the distinguished Nuremberg armorer Kunz (Konrad) Lochner, the Radziwill armor, with its overall etched design of interlaced strapwork and brilliant polychromy, is one of the most distinctive and colorful examples of the sixteenth century.

(3.18 x 2.22 x 2.22 cm), Plant fibers, United States, 20th century, In the early 1900s, many Euro-American women traveling through the Southwest region of the United States became infatuated with miniature Native American baskets, and some became avid collectors. Native women basket makers responded to this demand by creating ever-smaller baskets, utilizing the same harvesting, processing, and coiling techniques as those for personal use. Creating tightly woven, tiny baskets in an expanding range of designs and styles for their new clientele required the same levels of expertise and knowledgebut perhaps even more dexterity and skill.Plate.

Date: 2nd-4th century.Nazca potters were the first to master the technique of polychrome slip painting. Slips were made of clay particles and mineral pigments suspended in water; they were applied onto the surface of the vessels before the firing process, when the clay was still moist. Whereas solid areas of colored slip may have been applied with smooth cotton fiber, intricate designs and delicate outlines were made with fine brushes. Nazca geometric decorative designs include steps, step frets, stepped pyramids, checkerboards, stars, and zigzag lines, among others. These two vessels are decorated with two rows of stylized step motifs. Kaolin was used as a white pigment; reds and yellows were obtained with iron oxides and black areas were probably made with manganese minerals. The surface of the vessels was burnished with a smooth stone or bone before the clay was completely dry. Repeated step motifs were used iCase (Inr) with Design of Chrysanthemums by a Stream 19th century Japan. Case (Inr) with Design of Chrysanthemums by a Stream. Japan. 19th century.

This bowl combines one of the favored palettesa brownish red, decorated with black and whiteand the motifs typical of this type: strapwork enclosing abstract floral designs.

Pinto Collection - Purchased from Edward H Pinto, 1965.. Made in Scotland. This is a very rare nest of bickers made in Scotland in the 18th century. Bickers were traditional Scottish drinking vessels and as shown in this nest, they were made in a variety of sizes.It was said that a skilled craftsman was able to make a bicker using only a knife. It was made of alternate sycamore and alder staves which fitted together with a series of small feather like notches. The whole vessel was then held in place with willow bands which were carefully laced together. A dried pea was inserted into a false base in the largest bicker, so that the cup rattled when a top up was required.Anonymous / 'Case for gadrooned cup with an eagle's head'. 1680 - 1711.

Date: 1790-1810.This scarce example of a pair of toe protectors employs refined shaping and attention to detail that preserves the dainty feeling of the shoes over which they were worn. It is hard to see however, how much actual protection they would have provided. As elastic had not yet been invented, the heel strap is constructed of a small metal spring covered in white kid. This style of overshoe became obsolete when heelless shoes attained dominance in the late 1810s, but was revived in an all-rubber form at the end of the century.

Early ImpeTripod vessel ca. 1600-900 B.C. Iran This ceramic vessel is a deep bowl that stands on three legs. It is made of red clay and has geometric decorations below the rim and on the outside of the legs. It was excavated at Tall-i Shogha, a cemetery site in Fars, Iran. No records exist of its exact findspot, but later excavations have found similar vessels in graves there. Fars is poorly documented in the Late Bronze Age, and it remains an open question to what extent the people living there were pastoral nomads or sedentary farmers. In either case, they seem to have buried their dead in cemeteries and provided them with grave offerings, primarily metal objects and ceramics. It is difficult to say what purpose this bowl served, or even to determine whether it was a special funerary item or an object of everyday use..

Overall, the container brings to mind the seashore. The earthy quality of the lacquered surface demonstrates the interaction between a man-made pattern (the plovers) and the somewhat unexpected surface of a natural material such as wood.Tobacco plum on wooden leaves.

Headrests in Pokot society, like in many other African cultures, denote one's place in a community by showing status and role. Since the Pokot are nomadic pastoralists who also value elaborate coiffures, they need small, portable headrests to protect their hair. This is one of the few regions where headrests are still used today.Architectural Fitting (Gong) Made 770 BCE-481 BCE China. This is one of sixteen hollow bronze fittings in the museumís collection that together comprise rectangular, L-shaped, and cylindrical pieces. In 1973, fittings of similar shape and design were excavated from the site of a palace of the 7th century B.C. in modern-day Fengxiang, Shaanxi province in north China. Most show tightly interlaced surface patterns like those cast in this piece. Archaeologists have conjectured that these fittings, some of which preserve traces of wood, originally served as collars and sleeves that had been socketed over a framework of timber columns and tie beams embedded into the earthen walls. Some of these pieces may originally have been stuffed with silk to tighten them.. Bronze .Carpenter's plane, 19th century, Tomochika, Japanese, 1800 - 1873, 11/16 x 1 15/16 x 1 1/2in.
