Marble roof tiles from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis
Object type: tile, temple roof
Date: 300 – 268
Materials: marble
Culture: greek

These fragments have been pieced together to exemplify the size and arrangement of the original tiles used to roof the temple. In antiquity, most roof tiles were made of terracotta. The use of local marble for those of this massive temple is but one indication of its lavishness and of the tremendous expense afforded in its construction. The tiles have the usual form of separate pan and cover tiles (see drawing) but are larger than most known roof tiles from mainland Greece. The flat pan tiles with raised rims were laid one next to the other, atop wooden rafters in overlapping rows. The triangular cover tiles fit over the raised rims of the pan tiles and protected the joints. The underside of the cover tiles have a knob at the front, and the tops of the corresponding cover tiles are notched at the back (see drawing). This measure ensured that the cover tiles fit together and did not slip out of place.

Ritual ladle (Shao)
Object type: ladle
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.

Dancer in Ukrainian Dress
Object type: drawing
Date: 1899 – 1899
Materials: charcoal, pastel, paper
Artist: edgar degas
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1834 – 1917
Subjects: women,dancing,dancers

In 1899, Degas produced a series of compositions devoted to dancers in Ukrainian folk dress, in which he fused color, line, and interlocking forms to create tapestry-like pictures. Degas called them his "orgies of color." This figure was excerpted from a fully developed pastel of the same year (private collection), but the present work was almost certainly made by Degas as an independent drawing intended for ready sale. Another work from the series is in the Metropolitan’s Robert Lehman collection (1975.1.166). The subject reflects the surge of French interest in the art and culture of Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, following France's political alliance with that Empire in 1894.

Palampore Tree of Life Quilt
Object type: palampore
Date: 1815 – 1815
Materials: cotton
Culture: american
Location: united states
Subjects: flowers,trees

This boldly graphic quilt was constructed in America in the early nineteenth century, using fabrics that originated in India (the center panel and inner swag borders) and England (the outer floral chintz borders). The center panel is a “palampore”—an Indian hand-painted hanging of a stylized Tree of Life. The “T” outline of the piece, shaped to fit around bedposts, is typical of quilts made in New England. Many New England merchants were involved with direct trade with India and China during the period this quilt was made, and it is likely that owning a quilt featuring a palampore was considered highly fashionable, signaling sophistication and knowledge of far-flung lands.

These accents are comparable to hatching in drawings.
