Bird-Shaped Incence Burner
Object type: incense burner
Date: 1101 – 1300
Materials: bronze
Techniques: casting, engraving
Location: central asia or eastern iran

Incense was widely used in the medieval Islamic world. At receptions and special events servants would waft the guests with the aromatic smoke emanating from the openwork of the incense burner and sprinkle them with drops of scented water. This bird-shaped incense burner represents a class of metalwork that would have been sold at market. Birds figure prominently in the decorative repertoire of the Seljuq period, and were probably associated with good fortune.

Tara offers boons with her right hand (varada mudra) and holds her left in a gesture of teaching (vitarka mudra). The image is remarkable for its elaborate gold and silver inlays, infusing life into the elaborate garments. Clearly, the patron’s concern was to donate an exquisite image rather than one of larger scale. The figure reflects the earlier north Indian Pala style of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

Strook naturelkleurig naaldkant: Brusselse gaaskant. Het zich herhalende patroon bestaat uit grote halfronde schulpen gevormd door aan elkaar geschakelde liggende c-voluten. Boven elk voluut staat één losse roos met een stralenkrans van korte takjes met besjes. De schakelpunten tussen de voluten worden gevormd door ovale medaillons, die met een bladkroon zijn versierd. Vanuit de bladkroon ontspringt een fijn slingertje dat met een boog over de roos naar het volgende medaillon loopt. De schulpenrand wordt gevormd door hangende hartvormige blaadjes onder de voluten afgewisseld door steeds drie afhangende madeliefjes onder de medaillons. De motieven zijn opgebouwd uit festonsteken en voorzien van reliëfcontouren. De rozen hebben reliëfblaadjes. De motieven zijn met elkaar verbonden door een fijne maasgrond, een gaaskantgrond, waarop enkele moesjes zijn aangebracht. In de rozen en medaillons zijn siersteken toegepast.

Piano Harmonica
Object type: harmonica
Date: 1870 – 1896
Materials: wood
Culture: british
Location: united kingdom
Artist: j. b. cramer & co.
Artist role: maker

The J. B. Cramer & Co. firm was known for its reed organs and harmoniums. However, this innovative instrument uses a grand piano action to strike metal tongues to produce sound, instead of the strings found inside of a piano. Walnut case held together with large screws, rectangular when viewed from above, without legs or stand, enclosing a keyboard (compass 61 keys, ivory naturals, ebony accidentals) that controls a simple English grand piano action whose felted hammers, extending forward toward the player, strike thin steel tongues; these tongues are graduated in length and width and are screwed at the back end to a metal bar that extends beneath a removable wood panel; panel, bar, and tongues can be removed as one unit, and are mounted above the piano action in a raised portion of the case, covered by a hinged lid and fronted with a cloth-backed fret-work panel; the keyboard is covered by a fallborad holding a hinged music rack, below which is the nameboard; no damper mechanism or resonators. (Laurence Libin 4 Oct. 77)

Portrait of a Young Man (recto); Sketch of a Venus (verso)
Object type: drawing

Materials: chalk, paper
Location: great britain
Artist: richard parkes bonington
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1802 – 1828
Subjects: men,portraits

This portrait drawing has been attributed to Richard Parkes Bonington and the features, hairstyle and dress suggest that, if by his hand, the sheet may be a self-portrait—those elements are all similar to a self-portrait in oils of 1825 (Collection of Gabriel Renand), and also echo a small chalk drawing by Louis-Léopold Boilly titled "The Students of Baron Gros," 1820 (Musée Carnavalet). Bonington was an important landscape painter who worked both in watercolors and oils, which makes the possibility that he drew this sheet intriguing.

Theatrical mask for offering
Object type: mask, theatrical
Materials: faience
Location: fayum
Subjects: masks

This mask and the mask 26.7.1020 are too small and brittle to have served as actual theater masks. They refer to the god Dionysus, patron of the theater and god of rebirth; in Egypt he was equated with Osiris. Terracotta theater masks are found in burials and sanctuaries in Greece, in sanctuaries and as garden decorations in Italy. In Egypt, they are known only from burials, as offerings to Osiris/Dionysus. Terracotta masks from Antinoopolis in Middle Egypt probably originate in tombs, and a terracotta theater mask was found in a Roman Period chapel over a burial at Hawara. The masks 26.7.1020-.1021 and the ram 26.7.1019 are said to have been part of a find of numerous faience objects at Arsinoe, capital of the Fayum region.
