Ax head ca. 1981-1550 B.C. Middle Kingdom-Early New Kingdom "Duckbill-shaped" axes like this one were produced primarily in Syria-Palestine during the Middle Bronze Age IIA phase, which is roughly contemporaneous with the 12th Dynasty in Egypt. They are attested throughout the eastern Mediterranean world from Anatolia in the north to the Nile Delta in the south. An ax head very similar to this one, for example, was found in a tomb in the late 12th Dynasty stratum at Tell el-Daba (ancient Avaris) in the delta, where many Asiatic people settled during the Middle Kingdom and later established the capital city of the Hyksos Dynasty. Instead of having a series of small binding-holes like a typical Egyptian ax, this Asiatic type has a large socket to receive the haft. Its cutting edge is much smaller than that of its Egyptian counterpart due to its narrow shape, but the force generated by swinging this hefty ax would have been so focused that a single blow might have proven lethal, especiall

Kohl Flask. Dimensions: 2 3/16 x 1 7/16 in. (5.5 x 3.6 cm). Date: probably 10th-12th century.This charming object was designed to hold kohl, a black cosmetic powder applied around the eyes. In the past, kohl was widely used by men and children as well as women. It was thought not only to accentuate the beauty of the eyes, but also to guard against the glaring sun, ward off evil, and discourage eye disease. The narrow drill hole at the top of this flask would have accommodated a slender stick to collect the cosmetic. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Scarab Inscribed with a Blessing Related to Re ca. 1850-1640 B.C. Middle Kingdom During the late Middle Kingdom (late Dynasty 12-13, ca. 1850-1640 B.C.), numerous scarabs were incised with inscriptions related to the sun god Re. These scarabs are often quite small. The precise meaning of the inscriptions remains unclear: they can be interpreted as forming the name Re, or as a phrase or wish meaning (may) Re give. Such inscriptions summon the sun gods protection. These so-called ‘rdi ra scarabs continue to be manufactured during the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1640-1550 B.C.), but show different details on the back and sides..

Fragment 11th-12th century This object was excavated at 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 to 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

Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist in front of a townscape. Culture: Italian, Milan. Dimensions: 1 3/16 x 1 in. (3 x 2.6 cm); Visible cameo: 29 × 25 mm. Date: ca. 1520-30.The group echoes the new harmonies that Raphael and his school brought to painting. Suggestive comparisons exist in Raphael-esque Madonnas engraved by Giulio Bonasone and Gian Giacomo Caraglio (who doubled as an engraver of hardstones), but the graceful composition is apparently unique to this piece. The cityscape in the background is executed in intaglio. The irregular chestnut-hued translucent band around the edge of the stone is void, probably because it was meant to be embedded in a gold setting. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
