In eighteenth-century Europe, Paris led the production of high-quality luxury goods. Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes, boxes, and objets de luxe were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. This souvenir contains a mirror, four ivory leaves, gold-mounted pencil, and six narrow, velvet-lined compartments for implements.

Subjects: angels

In 1964, Loretta Hines Howard generously presented to the Museum over 140 Neapolitan crèche figures, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century. The varied assortment includes figures from the three traditional scenes of a complete Neapolitan presepio: the Nativity, with angels, shepherds, and sheep; the procession of the three Magi, with their colorful retinue of attendants; and the varied and gay crowd of country and town people thronging the tavern, or inn, of Bethlehem — the diversorium mentioned by St. Luke, where on the Holy Night there was no place for Mary and Joseph. Averaging between twelve and fifteen inches in height, according to the position they were to take in perspective in the stage set, the figures are pliable and can be given poses at will, according to their facial expressions. Their bodies are made of tow and wire, their arms and legs are finely carved of wood, and their heads and shoulders are modeled of terracotta and accurately finished. Their attire, often enriched by accessories, jewels, and embroideries, is a sheer joy for the lover of folklore and eighteenth-century costumes. According to a tradition that seems to be supported by stylistic comparisons with figures in the collections of Naples and in the vast holdings of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, some of the winsome heads of the Howard angels are to be credited to the best eighteenth-century masters: Giuseppe Sammartino (1720–1793), well known for his monumental sculptures in marble and in stucco, his pupils Salvatore di Franco, Giuseppe Gori, and Angelo Viva, and one Lorenza Mosca (d. 1789), who was employed at the Royal Porcelain Factory at Capodimonte and stage director of the Royal Christmas Crib. Since Mrs. Howard's gift, the Museum has recreated the Neapolitan Christmas crib scene, much to the delight of visitors during the holiday season.

Panel
Object type: panel
Date: 1201 – 1300
Materials: ivory, wood
Techniques: carving, inlay
Location: egypt

This panel may have been one half of a two-part object, creating a sixteen-point star, around which other individual polygonal elements would have been arranged to create a geometric shape, or perhaps it was placed individually on the edge of a rectangular panel. Both possibilities can be seen in the minbar doors (91.1.2064) on display in Gallery 450. The individual pieces are held together with mortise and tenon joints, where a cavity is cut into the side of the wood to allow the pieces to be slotted together. Such a technique is loose enough to prevent warping due to humidity and temperature changes, that occur with wooden objects.
