[Ku Klux Klansman]
Object type: photograph
Date: 1869 – 1869
Techniques: tintype
Artist: Anonymous
Artist role: artist
Subjects: masks,portraits

Almost immediately after the American Civil War, ex-Confederates in the South established hundreds of secret societies to oppose radical Reconstruction and to maintain white supremacy over liberated African Americans. The best-known of these vigilante societies was the Ku Klux Klan, organized in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee. Denied the right to bear arms, the former Confederate soldiers feared insurrection by newly armed African Americans who, in 1868 and 1870 respectively, would also be given citizenship and voting rights in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The Klan adopted strange disguises, used mysterious language, and made regular nighttime horseback raids with fiery torches on Black communities. The riders often muffled their horses' hooves and concealed themselves in white robes and masks (seen here), posing as spirits of the Confederate dead returned from the battlefields to haunt those formerly enslaved. The clandestine organization was so effective in systematically keeping Black voters away from the polls that ex-Confederates regained political control in most of the Southern states within five years of the war's end. Believed to be one of the earliest known portraits of a Klansman in costume, this tintype was probably made before 1870, the date that marks the disbandment of the Klan's first central organization. The insidious intimidation of Black Americans had proven so effective that Klan activity remained largely underground until the 1910s.

Two-handled jar
Object type: jar
Date: 700 – 601
Materials: ceramic
Culture: iranian
Location: iran

This jar has a globular body, a flat base, a high neck and a flaring mouth with two handles (one of which is restored) connected at the rim and shoulder. It is made of a black clay on a potter’s wheel, with the handles added afterwards. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort. This jar was found in the Central Temple, a tower-like structure in the middle of the site. Thus it may have been used in a ritual performed there.

Allegorie over de heilsweg van de mens. Het leven als een stad met drie ommuurde terreinen, met in het midden een tempel. Bij de buitenste poort staan de zielen van kinderen te wachten, klaar om het volwassen leven te betreden. Voor het binnengaan krijgen zij iets te drinken van Verleiding (Seductio), die hen onwetend maakt. Het eerste ommuurde terrein toont allerlei ver- en afleidingen, zoals Vooroordeel (Opinio), Begeerte (Cupiduas), Twijfel (Error) en Onwetendheid (Ignorantia). Zij beletten de jeugdige mens verder door te dringen tot de volgende cirkel. Alleen door de personificaties te volgen van Berouw (Poenitentia), Hoop (Spes) en Goed Verlangen (Bonnem Desiderium) kan de mens toegang krijgen tot de tweede cirkel. Daar krijgt hij onderricht in alle vormen van wereldse kennis. Links staan de zeven artes liberales en rechts debatteren verschillende geleerden. De mens wordt in deze cirkel op de proef gesteld en geconfronteerd met valse kennis (Falsa Disciplina). Met behulp van Zelfbeheersing (Continentia) en Geduldigheid (Tolerantia) kan de berg verder worden beklommen. Het derde ommuurde terrein, ten slotte, wordt bewaakt door Waarheid (Veritas). Zij verleent de mens toegang tot het ware geluk. Hij wordt er verwelkomd door de kardinale deugden en mag verblijven in het huis van de gelukzaligen, waar het ware geluk op hem wacht. Gereconstrueerd uit twee fragmenten.

This print by the accomplished etcher Henri Charles Guérard reproduces Whistler’s painting on the occasion of its exhibition at the Paris Salon of 1883, where it was shown under the more simple title “Portrait de ma mère” (Portrait of my mother). The print was commissioned for publication in the Gazette des beaux-arts, the most widely read French journal on the arts. Though it doubtlessly helped circulate the painting’s image to a French audience, Whistler later dismissed the print, preferring to control the authorship of such images more directly.

Amulet of Re-Harakhty squatting
Object type: amulet, re, sundisk
Date: 525 – 30
Materials: glass
Location: egypt

Starting in the later Late Period and continuing through the Ptolemaic Period, a type of glass amulet cast by pressing the glass into a shallow open mold appears. The back was left rough, and the amulets may look ragged because glass overflowed the mold around the edges. The earlier amulets are monochrome, bi- or multicolor amulets supplement the repertoire during the Ptolemaic Period. Some of the amulets can be specifically tied to spells of the Book of the Dead – for example, acc. no. 17.194.2526 – and most are clearly funerary amulets, presumably meant to be wrapped between the bandages of the mummy where the presence of the amulet would do its job irrespective of its degree of finish.
