Cowroid Stamp Seal Inscribed with the Throne Name of Amenhotep III
Object type: cowroid, amenhotep iii, nebmaatre
Date: 1390 – 1352
Materials: faience
Location: egypt

The bottom of this seal amulet bears the throne name of pharaoh Amenhotep III "Nebmaatre" that can be translated as "(The god) Re is the lord of truth," written here with three hieroglyphs. A sun disk for the name of the sun god Re is at the top. In the center is a large depiction of the goddess Maat that is used as a hieroglyph for the concept of truth, as she embodied the principle of world order, truth, and justice. She is depicted squatting and with the sign of life (ankh) on her knees. The ostrich plume that signifies her name is on her head. At the very bottom is a rounded sign that reads "neb" meaning "lord." Every Egyptian king had five names and four of them, including the throne name that is used here, were chosen when a king ascended the throne. Therefore they often bear a political message that describes the ruler’s program. In this case Amenhotep III associated himself with the sun god as well as with truth and justice.

Eagle

Artist nationality: american

Subjects: eagles

This monumental eagle, of fluid and energetic form, was commissioned in 1809 by Saint John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Philadelphia for its new building. The bird’s open beak contains a red-painted iron tongue, from which a long chain was suspended to support the sounding board above the pulpit. In 1847 the sculpture was removed from Saint John’s and installed in the Assembly Room of Independence Hall, where it remained until 1914. In that location, near the Liberty Bell and Rush’s 1815 carved wood statue of George Washington, its symbolism changed; once an attribute of the church’s patron saint, it metamorphosed into an emblem of national pride.

The Met acquired one of the finest known first editions of this volume when it brought in the entire collection of the Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow Collection of Japanese illustrated books in 2013. This much later modern printing is simply a work for studying how the awareness of a rare edition of a highly sought after book was kept alive in modern times through the printing of a popular edition. In this day and age, we can easily make digital reproductions of books, but even in the early twentieth century, publishers often resorted to the labor intensive means of woodblock printing to create new editions of famous books.

Minton was the most important ceramics factory during the Victorian period and began exhibiting products at the first Great Exhibition of 1851. Founded in 1793 by Thomas Minton at Stoke-on-Trent, the firm initially specialized in transferware pottery before expanding under the ownership of Thomas’s son Herbert Minton, beginning in 1836. Under the ownership of Colin Minton Campbell, who succeeded his uncle in 1858, the factory became recognized as a specialist producer of Aesthetics movement porcelain, which were inspired by a rich array of exotic and eclectic decorative motifs.
