Reinforcing Breastplate ca. 1625-30 Italian, probably Milan This reinforcing breastplate was intended to be worn on top of the breastplate of a cuirassier (heavy cavalry) armor in order to make it bulletproof. Bulletproof reinforcing pieces were relatively heavy--this breastplate alone weighs 14 pounds 11 ounces--which is why they were made to be removable when not in use. Cuirassiers usually were armed with a sword and two or more wheellock pistols such as the example also in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. no. 14.25.1426).The symbols deeply engraved on the silvered steel surface of this breastplate and on the barrel and lockplate of the associated pistol include a pentagram, the letter F, and a coronet encircling a pair of crossed palm branches. These are the personal emblems of the Spanish nobleman Don Gómez Suárez de Figueroa Y Córdova, duke of Feria (1587-1634), a prominent military commander in the service of King Philip III. From 1618 to 1625 and again from 1631 to 16

Sherd ca. 1500-1000 B.C. Iran This sherd is made of a buff clay, with brown painted decoration. It is typical of Yaz I ceramics from Turkmenistan, dating to ca. 1500-1000 B.C. It was excavated in 1937 at a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur in northeastern Iran. While Nishapur itself was founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I (reigned ca. A.D. 241-272), this sherd shows that human habitation there goes back to the prehistoric period. Furthermore, the prehistoric pottery from Nishapur has close affinities with ceramic materials from Central Asia rather than with contemporary sites in Iran, meaning that in this period its inhabitants were likely culturally linked to their neighbors to the east. At the same time, Nishapurs location on what later became known as the Great Khorasan Road suggests that it was part of the trade network that facilitated the import of precious stones such as lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise from Central Asia to Mesopotamia..
