Fragment of a Frieze with a Sequence of Roundels Enclosing Rosettes
Object type: fragment
Date: 401 – 600
Materials: limestone
Techniques: carving, relief
Location: egypt

The monastic community of Bawit, founded in the 300s by Apa (Father) Apollo at a small village, grew to consist of numerous complexes with residences, chapels, and service structures and two large churches profusely decorated with sculptures and paintings, often reused from other sites, all affiliated with the Coptic church. The more important buildings were decorated with courses of sculpted stone freely combining floral and geometric motifs inspired by classical art – rosettes, acanthus leaves, meander patterns – with more recent Christian themes. These sculptural elements, demonstrating the Byzantine love of complex patterning with lush textures, were originally painted in rich, vibrant colors like those surviving in textiles.

Coin
Object type: coin
Date: 1501 – 1700
Materials: copper
Location: iran
Subjects: elephants

This coin was found and purchased 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 to 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. American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated archaeological areas named Tepe Madrasa, Village Tepe, Sabz Pushan, Qanat Tepe, Tepe Alp Arslan, Vineyard Tepe, among others. They uncovered vast neighborhoods with mostly residential buildings, but also mosques, bathhouses, and possibly a governmental palace. Two main chronological phases were recognized in the sites: the first covers the ninth-tenth centuries and the second covers the eleventh-twelfth centuries. Thousands of artifacts were also recovered, mostly ceramic, glass, metal, and stone vessels, as well as carved and painted stuccoes and wall paintings, which were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today.

Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Clare

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1459 – 1518

Together in this painting are Saints Francis and Clare, both from Assisi. Clare, born to a noble family, heard Francis preaching when she was a teenager. She soon after joined a convent under his direction and eventually became the leader of her order. The building in the distance may be the Basilica of Saint Clare in Assisi. This beautifully preserved little panel dates from late in Cima’s career, and it shows the artist faithfully continuing a style originated by Giovanni Bellini in the 1480s. Indeed, Bellini’s signature was added later, falsely, at the bottom.

Fragment of a Block
Object type: fragment
Date: 501 – 700
Materials: stone
Techniques: carving, relief
Location: egypt

In the 500s Apa (Father) Jeremias founded a Coptic monastery at Saqqara, the ancient Egyptian necropolis (cemetery) of the city of Memphis, near the oldest pyramids. He and the earliest monks lived in tombs at the site. As the monastery grew, several grand churches with lavish decoration were built, as well as many chapels, public buildings, and complexes of cells (rooms) for each monk. The monastery continued to grow after the Arab conquest with materials from early Byzantine tomb structures being reused for additional monastic structures. Inscriptions record prayers to numerous holy figures. Sculptural elements from Saqqara are often carved with deeply undercut patterns to intensify the play of light and shadow and to mask the solidity of the architecture. This sculptural style was popular throughout the Byzantine world in the 500s.

Double Saddle Bag (Khorjin)
Object type: saddle bag
Date: 1800 – 1825
Materials: hair, wool
Techniques: weave, slit, tapestry
Location: iran

The Shahsevan, whose name means "those who love the king," are Turkic nomads. Their historical migratory range reaches from the southwest shores of the Caspian Sea to the southern part of Transcaucasia. Art historians have identified Shahsevan weavings, including a variety of small-format bags, only in the past half century. Many Shahsevan weavings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially those with centralized geometric designs, show a striking relationship with Anatolian carpets from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These older textiles are called Memling carpets, after the fifteenth-century Netherlandish painter who depicted them in his religious works. The khorjin saddlebags from the Mughan plain (on the Caspian Sea in northwestern Iran), such as this piece, continue the Memling design: it features a geometric octagonal medallion motif with stars and angular hooks that develop from the step-like edges. Many of the motifs found on Shahsevan textiles are thought to be centuries-old tribal emblems, a symbolic language that today we are frequently unable to decipher.

The sitter’s penetrating gaze and refined features are treated with a tenderness befitting a beloved brother.
