The Lamentation of Christ, from a Carthusian House Altar
Object type: sculpture
Materials: wood
Techniques: polychromy, carved
Location: kalkar
Artist: master arnt of kalkar
Artist role: sculptor
Artist dates:  – 1492
Subjects: christ's body lying on the ground (+ donor(s), supplicant(s), whether or not with patron saint(s))
Inscriptions: label, on the reverse, printed and inscribed: ‘Tentoonstelling, “Maria in de Kunst” Maastricht 1947, No. 56. Onderwerp Bewening Eigenaar Rectoraatskerk, Boekoel’, on the reverse, printed and inscribed: ‘Tentoonstelling Limburgse Kunst Raadhuis – Heerlen – 1948. Onderwerp: Bewening v. Christus Eigenaar: Rectoraatskerk, Boekel Nr. Swalmen (Dhr. A. Tissen Minderbroederstraat Roermond.)’

This sculpture group once formed the central section of a small altar for the Carthusian monk who is himself shown kneeling at lower right. The altar would have stood in his cell where he could meditate on Christ’s Passion in solitude. The relief probably came from the Carthusian monastery in Roermond.

Tile From an Inscriptional Frieze
Object type: tile
Materials: stonepaste
Techniques: luster painting, painting, underglaze
Location: iran
Subjects: birds,arabic

This tile is one in a series which probably once formed a glittering inscriptional frieze encircling the walls of a 14th-century tomb pavilion located in Natanz, Iran. The cobalt-blue inscription is set against a field of scrolling vines, wherein tiny birds perch amongst leafy foliage, some alighting upon the letters themselves. The frieze likely sat close to eye level, permitting the intricacies of the tile's drawing to be admired, while crowning a dado of equally opulent star- and cross-shaped tiles.
Model of a Pair of Hydraulic Forge Bellows
Object type: demonstration model
Date: 1818 – 1818
Materials: brass, leather, wood
Location: rotterdam
Inscriptions: inscription, on the base: ‘ROTTERDAM: 1818’

Model van een hydraulische blaasbalg op grondplank. Het bestaat uit een vat dat horizontaal is opgehangen in twee vorken en door middel van een hendel een kwart cirkel om zijn as heen en weer gedraaid kan worden. De ruimte binnenin is door een buis in de as-richting omgevormd tot een eindeloze cirkel, die weer eindig gemaakt wordt door een in de langsrichting geplaatst schot tussen buiten- en binnenwand boven op de buis. Aan de ene kant is aan weerszijden van dit schot een ingaand ventiel met zeemleren klep aangebracht, aan de andere zijde uitgaande ventielen, waarop een ventilatiepijp is aangesloten. Als nu het vat voor de helft gevuld wordt met water, wordt de ruimte die voor lucht overblijft in twee compartimenten gedeeld: door het vat heen en weer te draaien worden die afwisselend groter en kleiner, omdat het wateroppervlak horizontaal blijft. Zo wordt de luchtstroom tot stand gebracht. De ventilatiepijp is gebogen zodat het uiteinde gelijk loopt met de draaiings-as, en aansluit op een vaste pijp in een wand achter de blaasbalg. In de vloer tussen vat en wand is een dubbele watertank aangebracht: één deel is van boven afgesloten en verbonden met het andere door een gleuf onder in het schot; het afgesloten deel staat met een verticale pijp in verbinding met de ventilatiepijp.

Pommel Plate
Object type: pommel plate
Date: 1580 – 1580
Materials: gold, steel
Culture: flemish or french
Location: france or belgium
Subjects: men,horses

While many saddle steels have some degree of embossed ornament, very few include figural representations or narrative scenes. The densely detailed style of the embossed, chiseled, and gilt decoration of this pommel plate is a notable exception, and one that allows it to be identified as belonging to a small group of rare parade armors made in France or Flanders in the last quarter of the sixteenth century. Particuarly close in style to this piece are another pommel plate in the Wallace Collection, London (A424), a pair of full leg defenses in the Museo Stibbert, Florence (1021), and an incomplete half-armor with a close helmet and arm defenses in the Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin (1022). All share the same highly idiosyncratic style of rendering human figures, horses, trees, and landscapes, which are spread over the entire surface of the plates, gilded overall, and lacking any of the ornamental borders or cartouches that usually surround decoration of this type. The subjects depicted are derived from classical history and mythology. At the center of this pommel plate there is a prominent figure, wearing antique-style armor and mounted on a rearing horse, who possibly represents the legend of the Roman hero Marcus Curtius.

Water Pot for the Tea Ceremony

Ceramists from Kyoto often collaborated with painters, who added the decoration. This water pot was made by an unknown potter and then ornamented by Takeuchi Seiho, a well-known print designer and painter. The young pine branches are a New Year’s motif, so this water pot was intended for a tea ceremony at that time of the year.

Allegory of Marital Strife
Object type: print
Date: 1607 – 1607
Materials: paper
Techniques: etching
Location: belgium
Artist: pieter serwouters
Artist role: draughtsman, print maker
Artist nationality: flemish
Artist dates: 1586 – 1657

Pieter Serwouters frequently produced etchings after drawings by the painter David Vinckboons on humorous genre subjects. The peasant couple in this playful etching is fighting over the age-old question of who wears the pants in a marriage. The poem below the image implies that the husband’s station will be permanently compromised once he obeys his heckling wife and helps her don a pair of his trousers. Here he kneels, nearly cowering at her vigorous gestures, the outcome of the scene seemingly already in her favor. Their disorderly audience—an eavesdropping servant woman, amorous mongrel, and lazy, sated pig—hints at the comic gravity of this role reversal.
Cylinder seal and modern impression: animal combat and sphinx
Object type: cylinder seal
Date: 2000 – 1668
Materials: mineral
Location: syria
Subjects: animals,sphinx

Although engraved stones had been used as early as the seventh millennium B.C. to stamp impressions in clay, the invention in the fourth millennium B.C. of carved cylinders that could be rolled over clay allowed the development of more complex seal designs. These cylinder seals, first used in Mesopotamia, served as a mark of ownership or identification. Seals were either impressed on lumps of clay that were used to close jars, doors, and baskets, or they were rolled onto clay tablets that recorded information about commercial or legal transactions. The seals were often made of precious stones. Protective properties may have been ascribed to both the material itself and the carved designs. Seals are important to the study of ancient Near Eastern art because many examples survive from every period and can, therefore, help to define chronological phases. Often preserving imagery no longer extant in any other medium, they serve as a visual chronicle of style and iconography. The modern impression of the seal is shown so that the entire design can be seen. This seal shows a hunting scene with an antelope galloping above a lion that appears to be pawing at its mate, whose head is turned back. Next to this pair, a winged sphinx stands on a cobra, its head lifted as if to strike, below a guilloche chain.

Het overige patroon bestaat onder andere uit ranken met driedubbele bladeren en bloemen met een dichtgewerkt ovaal bloemhart en opengewerkte ovale bloemblaadjes. Met deze bloemen zijn boven- en onderrand van de mitaine afgewerkt. De motieven zijn gemaakt in linnenslag en netslag met dikke contourdraden en reliëfcontouren.

Materials: lacquer, mother of pearl

The phrase inlaid into the bottom of this small dish reads “for the delectation of the jade hall” (yuntang jiawan), indicating that it was a private commission. This inscription alludes to the collection of the infamous Ming-dynasty Prime Minister Yan Song (1480–1566). Because of his greed and lack of scruples, Yan was able to amass an astonishing collection of antiquities. In an ironic transformation, he instead became known as an icon of good taste in later ages.

Fragment of a Frieze with Cursive Script
Object type: fragment
Date: 1001 – 1100
Materials: plaster
Techniques: carving, painting
Location: iran

This fragment 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.
