Glass ornaments
Object type: ornament
Date: 1370 – 1200
Materials: glass
Culture: aegean, helladic or mycenaean

Set of fourteen matching ornaments, all made in same or very similar molds. Semi-translucent cobalt blue (12 examples) or light blue green (2 examples). Vertical rectangular panel; uneven flat back; straight sides and bottom edge; a large hole running horizontally through reel at top, four holes in recessed circle near bottom, and tiny hole in spikes along left edge on some examples. Molded decoration on front: a series of three reels, each with a truncated pyramidal spike projecting at left; three pairs of wavy lines in relief run vertically down reels, with other finer lines between spikes on left; below, square, flanked above and below by a horizontal row of dots, containing a plain recessed circle pierced holes. Two ornaments are intact, two are broken but complete, and the rest are fragmentary; dulling, pitting, and thick creamy brown weathering. The motif, evidently depicting locks of hair, suggests that these elements belonged to a diadem. The perforations at the top of each element would have allowed them to be strung together.

Terracotta stirrup jar
Object type: false necked jar
Date: 1300 – 1230
Materials: terracotta
Culture: mycenaean

Large numbers of Mycenaean vases inundated the Cypriot market starting at the beginning of the fourteenth century B.C., perhaps as a result of intensive trade relations between the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean regions. The stirrup jar is one of the most common Mycenaean shapes used to contain liquids such as oil or wine. It is possible, however, that some of the vases, especially those made in the thirteenth century B.C., may have been made by Mycenaean potters working on Cyprus. It is now also well documented that clay was traded in antiquity.

Ceremonial Ax
Object type: ceremonial ax
Date: 500 – 300
Materials: stone
Culture: indonesian

Ax heads made of both stone and bronze are common to the early cultures of South China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Examples dating from the Neolithic period and the early Bronze Age, with rounded heads and simple sockets, are often found in burials, illustrating their value as tools, weapons, and items of prestige. Bronze examples produced during the later part of the Bronze and Iron Age are often in fanciful shapes such as a boat or foot, or have flamboyant curving blades. This highly polished, elegant agate example was most likely a symbol of prestige and may have been used in a burial or given as a gift to mark a political alliance or intermarriage.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
