Horse Harness
Object type: horse trapping
Date: 801 – 1000
Materials: bronze
Techniques: casting, gilding
Location: iran

This horse harness was excavated at the site of Tepe Madrasa in Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred by the term ‘Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur — from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments. Nishapur lost its political prominence due to a series of earthquakes and invasions that peaked in the thirteenth century. Today, the medieval city is a vast archaeological area, while the relatively small modern city is situated to its north. Instead, Mashhad, a major pilgrimage site, emerged as a major prosperous metropolis in the region. Between 1935 and 1948, the "Persian Expedition" of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated at several sites at Nishapur under an agreement with the Iranian authorities. The recovered artifacts were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today. As part of the larger "Persian Expedition" project at Nishapur, American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated a mound named Tepe Madrasa. There, they uncovered an architectural complex which they tentatively associated with a palace or governmental center because of the solidity of the built structures and the extent and variety of wall decorations (including carved and painted brickwork, glazed tiles, wall paintings, and carved and painted stuccoes). This, together with the ceramic and metal finds, aided in attributing the site to the ninth or tenth century onwards. A mosque, refurbished multiple times up to the late eleventh century, was also unearthed, yielding the remains of a monumental entrance with a large terracotta inscription bearing the titles of a sultan (39.40.58, .60–64). Several twelfth century tombstones were also unearthed, showing the shift in purpose of what was earlier a residential area.

Jerome spent a part of his life in solitude in the desert. He is best known for having translated the Bible from Hebrew into Latin and thus was often represented in a study. However, from the late 16th century it became more common to portray him as a penitent hermit, a tradition Rembrandt followed here.

Three Tiles with 'Lajvardina' Glaze
Object type: star shaped tile
Materials: stonepaste
Techniques: gilding, molding, overglaze, painting
Location: iran
Subjects: flowers,leaves

This eight-pointed tile was decorated using a technique called lajvardina, a term that references lapis lazuli, a deep blue colored stone containing gold particles. After an initial firing to establish the dark blue background, the tile underwent a second firing to set the overglazed details and the carefully cut pieces of gold leaf, creating a glimmering surface. A flowering spray of Chinese-inspired lotus and peony blossoms occupies the entire surface of this tile, which was once part of a star-and-cross panel adorning the walls of an Ilkhanid palace, mosque, or mausoleum.

Colossal head from a Bes-image
Object type: column capital, be image
Date: 332 – 330
Materials: limestone
Location: eastern delta
Subjects: bes

This large head unmistakably depicts the god known as Bes, or, more accurately, what is known as a "Bes-image," since Bes's appearance was sometimes adopted for other gods, and there is no name preserved on the statue. From the Kushite Period onward, images of Bes appeared on architectural support elements such as abaci, column shafts, or, rarely, large two-sided pillars. These architectural images are especially associated with mammisis, or temples celebrating the birth of a child-god; it is thought that this is related to the long association of the deity with domestic concerns and fertility. Such Bes figures are typically frontal and carved in high relief, but the depth of this figure against an abacus or shaft surface, if that is actually its origin, would have been quite unusual. Another possibility is that the head originally belonged to a freestanding statue. A 1-meter-tall statue of Bes was found in a chapel at the Serapeum in Saqqara along with sphinxes dated to the reign of Nectanebo II. If this head comes from such a statue, the identity of the god represented by the Bes-image might not be the domestic god Bes but a number of the other gods-especially, but not exclusively, gods associated with Horus-who adopted the deity's appearance. This head is said to have come from the site of Bubastis in the Egyptian Delta. Work at this important but much-damaged site has produced mostly hard-stone elements, but some fragments of limestone from wall decorations have also been found there. The limestone from Bubastis is visually quite similar to the stone of this head, so it could be that the statue does indeed originate there. If so, a date to the reign of Nectanebo II, who built extensively at Bubastis and whose name is attested among its limestone remains, would be a reasonable suggestion. Moreover, although there is considerable continuity in the representation of the disquieting features associated with the Bes-image in the Late Period and into the Ptolemaic Period, the carving of the god's preserved ear—which, although leonine, is greater in height than in width—is similar to that of certain images dated to the Thirtieth Dynasty.
The Mass of Saint Gregory
Object type: print
Date: 1615 – 1615
Materials: ink, paper
Techniques: etching
Location: netherlands
Artist: simon frisius
Artist nationality: dutch
Artist dates: 1580 – 1629
Inscriptions: Lettered lower left: "Ioannes de Mabuge."; and below image: "Quid medys haeres sacris venerande Sacerdos ... T' verborgen offer toonde claer?"

According to Christian legend, while celebrating Mass, Pope Gregory I prayed for a sign to convince a doubting congregant about transubstantiation—the belief that the consecrated bread and wine are the flesh and blood of Jesus, a central tenet of the Catholic faith. Here, Christ is shown miraculously appearing above the altar at right, in front of Gregory kneeling amid his startled congregation. Although the original model for the print is lost, an inscription on the plate notes that Simon Frisius created the etching based on a design by Jan Gossaert, a Netherlandish painter who was active almost 100 years earlier.

Piece from a Robe (Kosode) with Pattern of Maple Leaves
Object type: piece from a kosode

Materials: paste, silk

Maple leaves in blue, green, and golden yellow appear on a meandering white background in the quietly dramatic design of this textile. The white area was produced through the stitch-resist (shibori) technique, as evidenced by the wrinkles along the line between white and purple, where stitches were gathered and the white silk was bound before the piece was dipped in purple dye. By contrast, the leaves were produced in the yūzen technique, characterized by finely drawn paste-resist lines and color applied with a brush.
