M'Kul
Object type: m'kul
Date: 1867 – 1900
Materials: wood
Culture: fang people
Location: cameroon

Able to produce four tones when struck on its side and ends, this hollowed log may be used to accompany dance and send messages. Instruments made of sonorous materials (idiophones) comprise the largest and most widespread type in sub-Sahara Africa. Names of identical instruments change from region to region. Some instruments and the music linked to them have traveled beyond the African homeland to North and South America and the Caribbean. Idiophones are sounded by shaking (rattle, sistrums), beating together (iron clappers), or striking (xylophones, slit gongs, bells). they reinforce the rhythmic foundation of a piece, provide a melodic line, signal by imitating spoken languages, or perform rhythmic, melodic and communicative roles simultaneously.

The Moray Minstrels (Design for Invitation card of Arthur James Lewis)
Object type: drawing

Materials: gouache, graphite, ink
Techniques: pen
Artist: frederick walker
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1840 – 1875
Subjects: men,women

This design for a printed invitation was created for the well-to-do silk merchant Arthur James Lewis who, before his 1867 marriage, regularly welcomed male friends to Moray Lodge, his home on Campden Hill, overlooking London's Holland Park. Once a month, between January and March, singers would gather on Saturday evenings at 8:30 pm to perform modern and ancient works; with oyster suppers served at eleven. Lewis was himself an amateur artist who joined the Junior Etching Club and welcomed London artists, such as J. M. Whistler, to his home. The invitation captures the jolly informality of Lewis's entertaining (see 58.503.2 for the related print).

Utrecht Velvet

Techniques: cutting, weave, stamping
Location: england
Artist: william morris
Artist role: designer
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1834 – 1896

This stamped furnishing fabric imitates, in design and technique, 18th-century velvets made in the Netherlands and known colloquially as “Utrecht velvet.” The city of Utrecht was a center of stamped velvet production. Manufacturers there impressed patterns into cut solid velvet with a heated copper roller. The compressed pile created the illusion of velvet woven with varying piles, which would have been more time consuming to produce. This reproduction catered to consumer desire for high-end, historically inspired furnishings.

Vertical panel with a pendant in the shape of a sea monster carrying a woman seated on a shell and holding a sail flanked by a triton at left and a figure with an oar at right. The ornament is suspended from a small jewelled motif tied with a ribbon at top. Plate 8 from a series of ten plates with pendant designs in the shape of sea monsters.

The Resurrection
Object type: print
Date: 1460 – 1465
Materials: ink, paper, watercolor
Techniques: brush, hand coloring, pen
Location: germany
Artist: Anonymous
Artist nationality: bavarian
Artist dates: 1400 – 1499

Communion bread came in different shapes in Renaissance Europe, and this variety is particularly clear from depictions of the Last Supper, when Christ symbolically offers his body to his disciples. In this metalcut series on the life of Christ, the shape of the bread—the traditional Bretzel, or pretzel—betrays that the prints were made in Bavaria. While the handwritten text on the verso of the adjoining sheet in the booklet (once comprising nineteen metalcuts) does not mention the pretzel, it is handcolored in a warm, doughy yellow. A similar glow suffuses the head-on Sudarium at center, an unusually abstract inclusion for an image of the Passion.

The fifteen metalcuts, or "dotted prints," that form this Passion suite constitute one of the most complete block books in existence. It is possible that the series at one time included as many as nineteen images, each exquisitely hand-colored with the biblical text inscribed on the reverse. The stars, shells, and other repeating patterns were produced by hammering metal punches, such as those used by goldsmiths and armorers, into the soft metal plates.

Mirror
Object type: mirror handle, papyrus umbel
Date: 1550 – 1458
Materials: bronze, copper alloy
Location: egypt

This was cast in two pieces and a tang at the bottom of the disk was inserted into the handle and held in place with a rivet. The handle is in the form of a stylized papyrus plant, a symbol of creative female power, and brings to mind the papyrus swamp, which in Egyptian mythology was associated with regeneration. The mirror belongs to a set of cosmetic equipment (26.7.837a–d) that includes a razor and whetstone, tweezers, and a kohl tube (26.7.1447). All of these items were found in a basket placed in a tomb for the use of the owner's spirit.

Inscriptions: Inscription under pendulum: "Warrented by E. Taber / Union Street in Roxbury / Massachusetts / Pendulum / Raise it to fast. down slower"
Inscription in gold paint on lower portion of glass panel: "E TABER"

Elnathan Taber apprenticed with a member of the Willard family clockmakers of Roxbury, who dominated the clock-making industry at the turn of the 18th century. In 1801 Simon Willard patented a timepiece that hung on the wall and featured an eight-day movement with pendulum and a weight. This wall clock is also known as a banjo clock because of its shape. The painter of the glass panels is unknown but shows an unusual sophistication and subject matter. Classically-inspired themes such as these figures with a temple in the background allude to the early American republic’s self-conscious affinity with the power and democratic values of the earlier Roman republic. The timepiece was originally owned by Edward Toppan of Boston and Newburyport.
