Bronze funnel-strainer
Object type: strainer with funnel
Date: 550 – 500
Materials: bronze
Culture: etruscan
Subjects: lions

The Etruscans used metal and sometimes ceramic sieves to strain wine when ladling it from large mixing vessels into pitchers from which it could then be served. Thus, such utensils are part of the Etruscan ritual banquet and often appear in the hands of servants depicted in tomb frescoes. These two bronze examples are beautifully crafted with ornamental handles terminating in ram's and duck's heads. The better preserved strainer has two rampant lions sitting on its rim.

This bowl was used for serving chilled water. It bears the silver hallmark of the Amsterdam silversmith Jacob de Grebber.

They were undoubtedly intended for Western customers; featuring large, sculptural flowers, the decoration adheres to the Dutch fashion of the time.

Large gilt-bronze mantel clocks from Paris were considered symbols of wealth and good taste throughout Europe. For example, in the 18th century, Swedish kings purchased two mantel clocks of this model. The clock’s plain, monumental shape – a lyre with a wounded dragon – is an early example of the Neoclassical style.

Candlestick
Object type: candlestick
Date: 1401 – 1500
Materials: copper alloy
Culture: german

Although common in Roman times, candlesticks of the socket variety were not seen again in Europe until the fourteenth century. The revival of this type might well have been due to the return of merchants of the wax trade from the East, where socket candlesticks are known to have existed as early as the thirteenth century. The sockets were usually left open as the sides to facilitate the removal of the candle ends in order to reuse the wax, an expensive commodity. The drip pan, which in pricket candlesticks was placed directly below the candle, has here been lowered and incorporated into the high circular base. The fifteenth-century tendency to embellish the stem in manifested here with the skill that so distinguished the metalworkers of the Lowlands.

Samson and the Lion

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1556 – 1619
Subjects: religious, old testament, religious scenes, nudes, man, figure, biblical, animals, lions, religious figures

Samson’s encounter with a lion was one of the legendary Israelite hero’s earliest feats. Here, Cristoforo Stati emphasized Samson’s bulging muscles as he effortlessly tears apart the lion’s jaw. Stati studied in Florence under Flemish-born artist Jean de Boulogne, called Giambologna. In 1601 Ferdinando I de’ Medici, Archduke of Tuscany, sent a sculpture of Samson by Giambologna as a diplomatic gift to the Duke of Lerma, the prime minister of Spain. After that work traveled from Florence to Lerma’s palace in Valladolid, the duke sought another scene to pair with it and commissioned Giambologna’s follower, Stati. In the ensuing years, the Spanish capital moved from Valladolid back to Madrid, where the sculpture seen here was installed. Stati created the twisting figures to complement the work of his mentor, who favored compositions meant to be viewed from all sides.

Handle Depicting a Lion Subduing a Nubian
Object type: protome, whip handle, lion, nubian
Date: 1279 – 1213
Materials: gold
Location: eastern delta
Subjects: lions

The image of a lion, which symbolizes the pharaoh, subjugating a Nubian, one of the traditional enemies of Egypt, is frequent in early Ramesside art, especially during the reign of Ramesses II. The usual rendition shows a bound Nubian kneeling before a lion that holds the back of the man's head in its jaws. Undoubtedly this protome shows the pose in an abbreviated form. Two fly whisks with gilded lion heads were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, and this protome may also have decorated a royal fly whisk or whip handle. The lion's hollow neck has two small holes allowing the piece to be doweled in place. The piece has been dated to the reign of Ramesses II because there is no indication of lachrimal, or tear, lines beneath the lion's eyes, a common feature of late Dynasty 18 representations of felines that is often lacking in early Ramesside examples (see 35.1.23).
