Futon Cover (Futonji)
Object type: textile
Materials: cotton
Techniques: dyeing, hand coloring, painting, weave, resist
Location: japan
Subjects: phoenix (mythical animal), birds, mythology

The traditional Japanese bedding set, known as a futon, typically consists of a padded mattress and a quilted bedcover. the latter often incorporates a decorated cover that would have been made as part of a bride's trousseau. This example bears an elaborate pattern of two phoenixes—a larger male in mid-flight prepares to join a smaller female on the branch of a Paulownia tree. The combination of a phoenix with a Paulownia tree symbolizes peace, sincerity, and benevolence—appropriate attributes for a wedding textile.

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: chinese

This handscroll depicts an episode from the Vimalakirti Sutra, the Buddhist scripture in which Vimalakirti, a layman, and Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, engage in a theological debate. According to the sutra, Vimalakirti proved the more subtle by remaining silent when asked to explain the ultimate meaning of the Buddhist Law. The subject appealed to China's Confucian elite, for it demonstrated how a cultured layman could surpass even a deity in his understanding of doctrine. The scroll is a rare example of a preparatory draft, submitted for the approval of the future Emperor Renzong (r. 1311–20) before a final version in color was executed.

Small-scale Egyptian figurines, known as amulets, were thought to promote health and good luck. Amulets were such an important part of Egyptian religious beliefs that they were worn by both the living and the dead. They could be mounted on rings or strung as bracelets or necklaces and were often placed among a mummy's wrappings to secure the deceased’s rebirth and well-being in the afterlife. Many varieties of amulets survived, including figures of deities, parts of the human (or divine) body, animals, plants, and objects of daily life. Nehebkau, often depicted as a male with a snakehead, was one of the deities who judged the deceased before a council of the gods.
