Scarab with Hathor-like Canaanite Goddess
Object type: scarab, canaanite goddess, 'hathor'
Materials: stone
Techniques: glazing
Location: egypt
Subjects: scarabs

Around the middle of Dynasty 13 (ca. 1802–1640 B.C.), scarabs carved in the eastern Nile Delta, at a site presently known as Tell el-Dab’a, show decorative elements that reveal Canaanite influence. Part of the population in this region was of Levantine origin. Soon afterward, at the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1700/1640 B.C), when Canaanites took political control over the Delta, a Canaanite production of scarabs is initiated; these scarabs also show details on their back and sides that distinguish them from Egyptian Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period scarabs. These Canaanite scarabs (ca. 1700–1500 B.C.) imitate Egyptian late Middle Kingdom models (ca. 1850–1640 B.C.) while also introducing new decorative elements and symbols. This Canaanite scarab shows a female face in frontal view with large plume-like extensions on her head. This is an example of how Egyptian motifs were adapted into the Canaanite repertoire, because the head strongly resembles the Egyptian representation of the Hathor emblem (often in the shape of a Hathor sistrum). On scarabs, the Canaanite "Hathor" head is paired with geometric decorative elements, plants, or sometimes by signs, and can be distinguished from the Egyptian Hathor motif because of the presence of two or three long extensions on her head.

The hull of this sailing ship comprises the names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. The tale of the Seven Sleepers, found in pre-Islamic Christian sources, concerns a group of men who sleep for centuries within a cave, protected by God from religious persecution. Both hadith (sayings of the Prophet), and tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) suggest that these verses from the Qur'an have protective qualities.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Object type: vase

This massive jade vase is handsomely incised with a poem composed by the Qianlong Emperor in 1773. The poem clearly indicates that the work was based on a Song-dynasty (960–1279) ceramic vase with an unadorned surface. More fascinating is that the jade vase features subtle crackling like that observed on high-quality Song celadon-glazed ware.

Two-Line Calligraphy
Object type: hanging scroll
Date: 1615 – 1905
Materials: ink, textile
Culture: japanese
Artist: soejima taneomi
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1828 – 1905

Two columns of Chinese characters, boldly brushed in dark ink on satin, convey a sense of all the writer’s vigor, strength of purpose, and dynamic personality. The odd proportions, and intentional distortion of some of the characters reflect the artist’s departure from long-established rules of brush writing. In some instances the order and direction of brushstrokes depart from the norm, shattering the expectation of regularity and symmetry and giving the characters an entirely new appearance. The dynamism of these forms may reflect the character of the calligrapher, a career politician, who served at different times as foreign minister, councilor of state, advisor in the Imperial Household Ministry, and home minister during the Meiji period. Soejima Taneomi, born into a samurai family, was well educated in Western studies but also had a broad knowledge of Chinese literature and culture. This knowledge is reflected in the two lines of poetry inscribed here, which demonstrate his skill in composing verses in Chinese, and his confidence as a calligrapher. The poem reads: 八朶青蓮馬前堆 一杯滄海李中寒 副島種臣 Ma faced eight blue lotuses standing erect in front of him. Emperor Li faced a vast ocean in the midst of deep cold. (Translation adapted from Sadako Ohki)

Bellows with the Flight into Egypt
Object type: bellow
Materials: leather, wood
Techniques: gilding, polychromy
Culture: dutch
Subjects: infants,women,horses

By the fifteenth century, bellows, an implement known from antiquity, were often richly decorated and were displayed on the chimneys of domestic interiors. This bellows, carved in high relief and once brightly painted, shows on one side the Flight into Egypt. Beneath the scene are two coats of arms, the left one unidentified, the right identified as that of Amsterdam, indicating that the bellows was once used in a household or a guild hall in that city. The back of the bellows has a circular inset within a deep gilded molding pierced with three openings for the intake of air. The air was expelled through the metal pipe projecting from the jaws of the dragon’s head at the end of the bellows. The sides of the bellows are of leather. The decoration on this bellows of a religious subject does not indicate that it belongs to a religious establishment; such themes frequently appear on objects of daily household usage. This same scene, in an almost identical representation, though without arms on the shields, appears on a bellows thought to be from Utrecht, circa 1510. The existence of two such similar bellows suggests that these items, in common use in the household during the Middle Ages, may have been produced in large quantities with the arms left blank for completion after purchase.

Samson escaped his murderers by wrenching apart the city gate of Gaza hinges and all, and running up the hill. In Heemskerk’s time this scene was considered as the forerunner (prefiguration) of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Hercules also triumphs over deathhere. He kills the centaur Nessus, whose poisonous blood would prove fatal to Hercules years later, resulting in his eternal life on Mount Olympus.
