Stucco Fragment
Object type: fragment
Date: 701 – 1200
Materials: plaster
Techniques: backing, carving, molding, painting
Location: iran

This stucco fragment was excavated at the site of Tepe Madrasa in Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred by the term ‘Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur – from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments. Nishapur lost its political prominence due to a series of earthquakes and invasions that peaked in the thirteenth century. Today, the medieval city is a vast archaeological area, while the relatively small modern city is situated to its north. Instead, Mashhad, a major pilgrimage site, emerged as a major prosperous metropolis in the region. Between 1935 and 1948, the "Persian Expedition" of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated at several sites at Nishapur under an agreement with the Iranian authorities. The recovered artifacts were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today. As part of the larger "Persian Expedition" project at Nishapur, American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated a mound named Tepe Madrasa. There, they uncovered an architectural complex which they tentatively associated with a palace or governmental center because of the solidity of the built structures and the extent and variety of wall decorations (including carved and painted brickwork, glazed tiles, wall paintings, and carved and painted stuccoes). This, together with the ceramic and metal finds, aided in attributing the site to the ninth or tenth century onwards. A mosque, refurbished multiple times up to the late eleventh century, was also unearthed, yielding the remains of a monumental entrance with a large terracotta inscription bearing the titles of a sultan (39.40.58, .60–64). Several twelfth century tombstones were also unearthed, showing the shift in purpose of what was earlier a residential area.

Gentleman Seated in an Armchair

After a trip to Italy from 1659 to 1664, to which he certainly owed his taste for color, La Fosse entered Le Brun’s studio some time after 1665. He worked under his direction at the Château des Tuileries and then contributed to the decoration of the grands appartements at Versailles. La Fosse also created décors for private mansions and parisian churches. Lively in its execution, this drawing cannot be connected with a known painting. Although the genre of portraiture experienced a true golden age during the reign of Louis XIV, it was a subject La Fosse treated only on very rare occasions, thus one can assume that this sheet is probably a drawing made for its own sake. Its attribution is based on stylistic grounds, namely the idiosynchratic use of trois crayons, a mixture of red, black, and white chalks that La Fosse would have learned from Rubens and transmitted to Watteau. The sitter, certainly drawn from life, is portrayed three-quarter length, seated in a lavish Louis XIV armchair, and clad in an outfit that suggests a date in the last years of the 17th or the first years of the 18th century, as evidenced by his wearing of a rabat (flat collar adorned with lace) accompanied by lace cuffs called rebras. While the sitter’s identity remains unknown, his attire, his wig and his posture all suggest a wealthy and high-ranking man, certainly a gentleman. Against a neutral background, the portrait is animated by the implied narrative of the folded note he offers with his right hand. In contrast to the French tradition of trois crayons portraits (established by the Clouet family at the beginning of the XVIth century), La Fosse does not produce a detailed rendering of the sitter’s expression, but rather focusses on his pose and costume, using a brusque application of chalk to lay down contours and shading. A sense of natural light, coming from the right, is conveyed by the pale tonality of the paper left in reserve and through the discrete use of white chalk highlights. The energy of the sheet is due in part to the repetition of curvilinear lines, from the rounded forms of the buttons on the man’s jacket, to the ornamental flourishes on the base and armrest of his chair.

Pellet Crossbow
Object type: pellet crossbow
Date: 1550 – 1600
Materials: hemp, steel, wood
Culture: french or italian
Location: france

The slender stock of walnut is rectangular in section, straight at the butt, with a deep dip between the bow and release hook. The stock is carved on top with a crouching dragon-like creature and at the front end with a grotesque animal head. The butt tapers slightly and terminates in a turned ebony finial. The bow of polished steel is fitted with a bowstring made of two parallel cords, separated by wooden spacers, and fitted in the center with a basket into which the pellet or stone would fit. The spring-operated release lever is of polished steel and pivots within the stock; its front end is shaped as a hook to receive the basket of the bowstring. The arched rear sight of steel is decorated with moldings and is mounted on the stock behind the release hook; the front sight consists of two vertical steel columns between which a bead originally was suspended. Pellet crossbows shot small stones or molded clay pellets rather than steel-tipped bolts (see acc. nos. 14.25.1591a–l, .1601a–c) and were used solely for killing fowl and small animals such as squirrels, ermine, or marten. Though they lacked the power and range of conventional crossbows, pellet crossbows could be spanned by hand and their missiles stunned or killed the game without piercing the skin and ruining fur or feathers with bloodstains. Pellet crossbows were used throughout Europe from the second half of the sixteenth century at least to the end of the seventeenth century. Bows of this particular type and design, with simple but beautifully carved sculptural ornament on the stock, recall the carving on similar examples from the Medici armory, now preserved in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence.
