Bowl
Object type: bowl
Date: 1001 – 1100
Materials: earthenware, glaze
Location: iran

This ceramic bowl was excavated at the site of Tepe Madrasa 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 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. The recovered artifacts were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today. As part of the larger "Persian Expedition" project at Nishapur, American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated a mound named Tepe Madrasa. There, they uncovered an architectural complex which they tentatively associated with a palace or governmental center because of the solidity of the built structures and the extent and variety of wall decorations (including carved and painted brickwork, glazed tiles, wall paintings, and carved and painted stuccoes). This, together with the ceramic and metal finds, aided in attributing the site to the ninth or tenth century onwards. A mosque, refurbished multiple times up to the late eleventh century, was also unearthed, yielding the remains of a monumental entrance with a large terracotta inscription bearing the titles of a sultan (39.40.58, .60–64). Several twelfth century tombstones were also unearthed, showing the shift in purpose of what was earlier a residential area.

Materials: paper

Behorend tot een serie van 72 'Mahlerisch-radirte Prospecte von Italien', waarvoor de kunstenaar 24 prenten maakte. Albert Christoph Dies (1755-1822) en Jacob Wilhelm Mechau (1745-1808) maakten eveneens 24 platen, in opdracht van Jean Fréderic Frauenholz. Vanaf 1792 verschenen telkens drie sets van twee prenten per kunstenaar. In 1798 werd de laatste set uitgegeven, waarna complete sets gebonden werden uitgegeven tot in 1875 (Nuerenberg: J.L. Lotzbeck). Zie: Schmid, F.C., A.C. Dies, J.W. Mechau und J.C. Reinhart 'Mahlerische radirte Prospecte von Italien' (...). Berlijn: s.n., 1991.
Kohl Container
Object type: vessel
Date: 401 – 600
Materials: glass
Techniques: glassblowing
Culture: byzantine
Location: levant
Subjects: vessels, beauty

Glass containers like this one were used to store kohl, a mineral compound used to dramatic effect to darken eyelids and eyelashes. Containers for cosmetics were fashioned out of a variety of materials in addition to glass, including metal, ivory, bone, and wood. In his writings, the third-century church father Saint Clement of Alexandria (d. 215) mentions white lead, charcoal, and even the “droppings of crocodiles” as common ingredients for cosmetics, although he must be regarded as a hostile witness at best. Nevertheless, the fact that his writings feature such detail about the use of makeup attests to its ubiquity.

Multicompartment kohl containers were formed when a hollow tube of glass was folded in half, thereby creating two tubular containers from one. Over time, the appearance of these vessels became more elaborate and whimsical.

To express their refusal to be subject to this rule, they nicknamed their walking sticks pouvoir executive (executive power).

De presentatietekeningen BK-1971-77-1 t/m 86 zijn kopieën van de originele ontwerptekeningen. Ze werden gemaakt voor vertegenwoordigers van bijvoorbeeld magazijnen, die ze aan hun klanten konden tonen. De meeste tekeningen tonen een kwart van het dessin inclusief rand, middenpartij (de zogenaamde grond of fond) en centraal medaillon. Door het gebruik van spiegels kan de illusie van het gehele tapijt worden opgeroepen. Een deel van de tekeningen heeft een alfabetische opeenvolgende letter als kenmerk, de andere groep een cijfer.Waarschijnlijk is de reeks dessins met een letter eerder samengesteld dan de genummerde tekeningen.
