Lady with silver basket
Object type: crèche figure

Subjects: women

In 1964, Loretta Hines Howard generously presented to the Museum over 140 Neapolitan crèche figures, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century. The varied assortment includes figures from the three traditional scenes of a complete Neapolitan presepio: the Nativity, with angels, shepherds, and sheep; the procession of the three Magi, with their colorful retinue of attendants; and the varied and gay crowd of country and town people thronging the tavern, or inn, of Bethlehem — the diversorium mentioned by St. Luke, where on the Holy Night there was no place for Mary and Joseph. Averaging between twelve and fifteen inches in height, according to the position they were to take in perspective in the stage set, the figures are pliable and can be given poses at will, according to their facial expressions. Their bodies are made of tow and wire, their arms and legs are finely carved of wood, and their heads and shoulders are modeled of terracotta and accurately finished. Their attire, often enriched by accessories, jewels, and embroideries, is a sheer joy for the lover of folklore and eighteenth-century costumes. According to a tradition that seems to be supported by stylistic comparisons with figures in the collections of Naples and in the vast holdings of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, some of the winsome heads of the Howard angels are to be credited to the best eighteenth-century masters: Giuseppe Sammartino (1720–1793), well known for his monumental sculptures in marble and in stucco, his pupils Salvatore di Franco, Giuseppe Gori, and Angelo Viva, and one Lorenza Mosca (d. 1789), who was employed at the Royal Porcelain Factory at Capodimonte and stage director of the Royal Christmas Crib. Since Mrs. Howard's gift, the Museum has recreated the Neapolitan Christmas crib scene, much to the delight of visitors during the holiday season.

Ewer with Protruding Lip
Object type: ewer
Date: 701 – 800
Materials: bronze
Techniques: casting
Location: iran

A common feature of ewers made in the early Islamic period is the highly abstracted animal heads at each end of the handle. The protruding horizontal lip is also reminiscent of animal morphology and appears on ewers depicted on post-Sasanian silver plates. Although perhaps not as visually spectacular as similarly shaped late antique silver vessels, bronze ewers such as these had significant material value in their own right as hefty pieces of worked metal.

Materials: faience
Techniques: glazing
Subjects: landscapes

Faience, or tin-glazed and enameled earthenware, first emerged in France during the sixteenth century, reaching widespread usage among elite patrons during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, prior to the establishment of soft-paste porcelain factories. Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addition of tin oxide to the glaze. French faience is typically divided into two types. Grand feu (high fire) describes pieces that have been decorated with glaze and metallic oxides before being fired a single time at a high temperature of around 1650°F (900°C). Petit feu (low-fire) faience, developed in the second half of the eighteenth century, refers to a process whereby the clay body is fired before being glazed and decorated with metallic oxides and then fired again at a lower temperature; pieces can also go through a third firing. Grand feu pieces have a more limited color palette that consists of blue, yellow, brown-purple, and green. By contrast, the lower firing temperature of petit feu faience enabled both greater precision in painting techniques and variety in the range of colors.
The Marriage Feast (The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ)
Object type: print
Date: 1864 – 1864
Techniques: engraving
Artist: sir john everett millais
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1829 – 1896
Subjects: men,women,christ

It took Millais seven years to design twenty images inspired by New Testament Parables for the Dalziel Brothers, and the resulting prints are considered pinnacles of wood engraved illustration. The artist wrote to his publishers, "I can do ordinary drawings as quickly as most men, but these designs can scarcely be regarded in the same light—each Parable I illustrate perhaps a dozen times before I fix [the image]." After completing a design, Millais transferred it to a woodblock coated with "Chinese" white for skilled engravers to carve. Finally, he reviewed proofs, and final adjustments were made before the final printing. The Parable of the Marriage Feast appears in Matthew 22: 1-14, and Millais represents the moment when a guest who failed to wear suitable clothes is ejected. Pre-Raphaelite ideals shaped the combination of detailed naturalism and down-to-earth imagery to produce a work distinctly different than most religious art of the period.
Gudastviri
Object type: gudastviri
Date: 0 – 0
Materials: brass, glass, horn, wood
Culture: georgian
Location: georgia

The gudastviri is a bagpipe found in Western Georgia. It is a mouthblown instrument with two parallel pipes, one melodic, and one semi-melodic. The instrument is richly decorated according to the desires of the musician, and is often covered with a velvet bag, traditionally red. The gudastviri was traditionally played by itinerant musicians who used the bagpipe to accompany their solo-recitative singing (Gabisonia 2009:420). This gudastviri has two cylindrical wooden pipes encased in a wooden yoke. The parallel pipes have five and two holes (traditionally, these have 6+3 holes, but the lower holes are not visible on this instrument). The double chanter is fitted into a horn, which is attached to the yoke with a thin strip of leather. The chanter and horn are encircled with metal braces, which are decorated with glass jewels. The top of the chanter features jewels organized in a cross-like shape. The end of the horn is decorated with nineteen small chains, at the end of which are small metal amulets, with two different designs: a bird and a paisley-like pattern. The insufflation pipe is bound with metal wire. The bag is made from goatskin and has the hair on the exterior. The original bag (also with hair on the exterior) was replaced with a new bag in the twentieth century. This instrument was part of the original 270 instruments donated to the collection in 1889 by Mary Elizabeth Brown, and was illustrated in her 1888 catalogue, "Musical Instruments and Their Homes" (Balosso-Bardin 2023). (Cassandre Balosso-Bardin, 2023) Technical Description Reddish wood or cane double chanters 260 mm (570 mm including single upturned horn bell and wooden yoke), cylindrical bores; fingerholes: R 3/0 (?), L 6/0 (?), no ventholes; reeds inaccessible (typically, single cane reeds); brass and wood blowpipe (160 mm) tied directly into bag, no evidence of valve; undressed sheepskin bag with red hair and white wool outside, with blowpipe in foreleg and chanter in neck; stocks integral with pipes, the chanter yoke serving as stock as does wooden end of blowpipe; chanters bound into yoke with engraved brass bands decorated with colored stones or glass; chanter bell bound with brass bands furnished with 19 small hanging chains tipped with brass pendants; wooden part of blowpipe with carved chevron and diamond designs, the wood highly finished.
