Helmet with divine figures beneath a bird with outstretched wings
Object type: helmet
Date: 1500 – 1100
Materials: bronze, gold foil
Culture: elamite
Location: iran
Subjects: birds,men,women,deities

This example of military headgear is elaborately decorated with three figures on the front. The central one is a male water deity who holds a flowing vase at his chest. He has a multiple horned crown, a beard, curled hair, and a mountainlike or scale pattern on the lower body like the one on the background. The top of the garment crisscrosses his chest. He is flanked by two female deities with horned crowns who hold their hands up in supplication. Their robes are flounced and they wear necklaces and bracelets. Hovering over the figures is a raptor like bird with carefully delineated feathers. At the back is a decorated tube that may have held an actual feather plume. All of these elements were carved from bitumen and overlaid with silver and then gold foil with incised decoration, a technique that, along with the style and types of the figures, point to Elam as the source. The water god might be either the Elamite Inshushinak or Napirisha, similar to Ea, the Mesopotamian god of the sweet waters. Such a helmet would have been worn by a warrior of high rank, and perhaps on special occasions rather than in actual battle. The representations of protective and important deities could certainly have been apotropaic for the wearer.

View of a rural landscape with a horse drawn plow in the center. In 1827, Constable began work on the project that would occupy his attention until his death seven years later: the publication of a series of prints based on his paintings that would stand as a summary of his achievements. The painter collaborated closely with the engraver David Lucas to create prints that would illustrate Constable's didactic intention—to illustrate the "chiaroscuro of nature." The medium of mezzotint, in which the design is developed from dark to light using a wide range of velvety tones, was eminently suited to the project.

Location: egypt

Vibrantly colored flowers associated with abundance and prosperity, often accompanied by personifications of the earth and the seasons, are frequently depicted on late Roman and early Byzantine textiles, including clothing and domestic textiles. In this fragment, flowering trees, a blossoming shrub, and a basket of flowers fill the spaces between a series of columns; each capital is decorated with a cross and each base with an ivy leaf. A partial figure is preserved at the far right, and a wavecrest forms the lower border. The rounded forms and combination of monochrome figures with brightly colored decorative elements are characteristic of textiles dating from the sixth and seventh centuries.
