Key
Object type: key
Date: 1501 – 1600
Materials: iron
Culture: french

The decoration of Gothic iron locks and keys was often elaborate and of the highest standard of workmanship. The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages.

Winged Scarab
Object type: amulet, winged scarab
Date: 664 – 332
Materials: faience
Location: egypt
Subjects: scarabs

This winged scarab consists of three pieces: an actual scarab beetle and two separately made wings. The wings are not those of a beetle, but those of a bird, as is apparent by their shape and the indication of individual feathers. Each piece features several small holes that were used to fasten the winged scarab to the wrappings of a mummy. Winged scarabs, meant to guarantee the rebirth of the deceased, were very popular funerary amulets.
Ritual Wine Container (Jia)
Object type: wine container
Date: 1034 – 1001
Materials: bronze
Culture: chinese

This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11). A partial reconstruction of the set’s arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels—the two wine containers, or you, and the central tall wine container, or zun—that were etched onto the surface of the altar table. The diagram shows a hypothetical arrangement of the remaining vessels around the major pieces. Even if this is accepted as the original grouping, the disparate inscriptions and vessel styles remain unexplained. Created around the time of the Zhou conquest of the Shang, and clearly by different foundries, the pieces of the set may represent the accumulated wealth of a family shrine. 青銅禁 1.

Bracelet
Object type: bracelet
Date: 201 – 700
Materials: bronze
Culture: sasanian
Location: mesopotamia

This bronze bracelet was excavated at the Sasanian house of Ma’aridh VI in the Ctesiphon area. Although heavily encrusted, the simple yet elegant shape is still visible. The small ends near the opening are slightly flared, but the bracelet is otherwise undecorated. Rich finds, like metal objects, are clear indicators of the wealth of the households excavated in the Ma’aridh area. The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century. Systematic excavations in the Ctesiphon area were undertaken by an expedition in 1928–29 sponsored by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft). The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, undertook a joint expedition for one season in 1931–32. Several excavations were conducted, including at the main palace (Taq-i Kisra), in a small fortified area south of the palace at Tell Dheheb, at multiple houses at the mounds of Ma’aridh, and at additional houses at a small mound called Umm ez-Za’tir. Over the course of the excavations in the Ctesiphon area, six houses from a series of small mounds called el Ma’aridh were excavated. The house at Ma’aridh VI was only partially excavated and a plan of the building was not made. The stucco fragments from the house, however, suggest that the cruciform niches in the reception area were richly decorated.

Portrait of Jonathan Richardson, Jr., the artist's son
Object type: drawing
Date: 1729 – 1729
Materials: chalk, paper
Artist: jonathan richardson
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1667 – 1745
Subjects: men,portraits

Richardson was a leading British portraitist who also wrote on connoisseurship and formed an important collection of Old Master drawings. He rarely made preparatory studies for paintings but, in his fifties, began regularly to portray himself and his son in works that suggest an appreciation for drawing as an aesthetic pursuit. Once retired from painting, Richardson continued to make such works daily. This example dates to 1729, when the artist was sixty-four and his subject thirty-eight. Rendered close to life size, the sitter is dressed informally, and his somber features have been described using red, white, and black chalk, with a middle tone established by the paper. The original blue of the sheet has survived in remarkably fine condition.

The verses, either amusing or moralizing, were shared with the other diners.

Vanaf 1760 gaf Pierre Fouquet stadsgezichten van Amsterdam naar tekeningen van verschillende kunstenaars uit. Deze prenten werden aanvankelijk los verkocht. Later werden ze samengebonden verkocht in verschillende volgordes en aantallen in:

(1). Afbeeldingen van de wyd-vermaarde koopstad Amsterdam benevens des zelvs voornaamste gebouwen en gezigten alle naar het leeven getekend / Receuil des edifices les plus considerables et des plus belles vues, de la fameuse ville d'Amsterdam, dessinées d'après nature. Amsterdam: Pierre Fouquet, 1778-1783. Deze 'uitgave' bestond waarschijnlijk alleen uit een titelblad en inhoudsopgave van de tot dusver 100 uitgegeven prenten, die de koper zelf aan zijn of haar reeds verzamelde prenten kon toevoegen. De hoeveelheid en volgorde van prenten verzameld onder deze titel verschilt dus sterk.
(2). Nieuwe atlas, van de voornaamste gebouwen en gezigten der stad Amsterdam, met derzelver beknopte beschryvingen. 2 dln. Amsterdam: Daniël Jean Changuion en Petrus den Hengst [in opdracht van Pierre Fouquet], 1783.

Ook werden er door verschillende uitgevers tussen 1788 (Amsterdam: Petrus Conradi) en 1805 (Amsterdam: Evert Maaskamp) heruitgaven gepubliceerd.

Saint Gregory as Author
Object type: drawing and watercolor
Date: 1188 – 1200
Materials: parchment, watercolor
Location: germany

This striking author portrait honors Saint Gregory, who reigned as Pope Gregory the Great from 590 to 604. He is shown in the act of writing his homilies, with the dove of the Holy Ghost perched on his shoulder to provide inspiration. This leaf, illuminated on both sides, is apparently all that remains of a manuscript of the life of Saint Gregory written in the monastic scriptorium of Weingarten Abbey not far from Lake Constance during the time of Abbot Meingoz (1188–1200). In this period, the learned tradition of text and illustration was still preserved through the work of the monastic scribes, but secular workshops catering to the demand for books for new universities, administrative bodies, and other clients would soon dominate.

Flood Disaster Medals. Much of the Netherlands lies below sea level. The threat of flooding is thus ever-present. Dikes, dams and polders were created to control the water. Still, these safety measures sometimes failed. Each century witnessed disastrous floods, with levees breaching and the countryside being inundated. The North Sea Flood of 1953 led to the construction of the Delta Works. Thanks to this major intervention the country has since remained dry.
