Made by the court crossbow-maker to the dukes of Saxony, this crossbow has an elegant and finely engraved inlay that distinguishes it as a weapon of high quality intended for use at the court in Dresden or in one of the other nearby ducal residences. The theme of the decoration might suggest that it was used for hunting small game, but the delicate size of this crossbow indicates that it probably was used by a lady or a child for shooting competitions, some of which would have been held indoors.

Tile with Floral Design
Object type: architectural fragment
Materials: ceramic, glaze
Techniques: painting, polychrome
Culture: islamic
Location: damascus

This tile belongs to group of ceramics sometimes referred to as Damascus or Syrian ware that are closely related to Iznik ceramics. These wares were produced in Damascus in the mid-16th century when the Ottoman sultan, Suleyman the Magnificent, sent Iznik potters to repair and restore tilework at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. After refurbishing the tilework, these artisans settled in Damascus, where they continued to produce tiles and vessels. While similar in style to the tiles produced in Iznik, tiles made in Syria in the Ottoman period employ a different color palette to depict vegetal and geometric forms. Syrian ceramics did not use the crisp white ground and only rarely used the vibrant tomato red typical of Iznik ceramics. Instead, Syrian tilework tended toward a more muted color palette of natural greens and blues.

Materials: silk
Artist: Anonymous
Artist role: designer

Little is known about the origin of this extraordinary textile, made by the Paris firm of J. Claude Frères. It is possible that the organic quality of its design derives from a fascination with widely published contemporaneous discoveries in medical science—namely the development of serums and antibiotics—as the decorative motifs resemble enlargements of microscopic specimens.

Hieratic ostracon
Object type: ostracon, hieratic
Date: 1295 – 1070
Materials: ink, limestone, paint
Location: egypt

Ostraca (plural for ostracon) are potsherds used as surfaces on which to write or draw. The term is used, by extension, to refer to chips of limestone, which were employed for similar purposes. Despite their humble appearances, ostraca bear a wide range of images and texts, including administrative documents, literary texts, and depictions of royal and divine figures. The texts were mostly written with reed pen and ink of two colors, red and black, and inscribed in Hieratic, the cursive script of ancient Egypt throughout most of its periods. This ostracon is inscribed on one side with notes regarding lamps/torches.

Subjects: weddings,processions

Cassone is a term given to costly decorated chests made in Italy from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries. Next to the marriage bed, cassoni were cherished in wealthy Renaissance households, for they held clothing, precious fabrics, and other valuables. Often commissioned by the groom, a cassone was prominently carried in the nuptial procession, laden with the dowry of his bride. The central scene apparently shows a different moment of such a wedding parade and is flanked by angels holding shields formerly painted with the couple’s coat of arms thus referencing the families united. The top was later replaced. The companion cassone is in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Italian Renaissance workshops produced cassone decorated with front panels displaying episodes from classical or biblical history and mythology, evidently felicitous narratives for the newly married. Other cassone designs featured ornamental and figural carvings and applied stucco reliefs as in this example.
