Marble anthropoid sarcophagus last quarter of the 5th century B.C. Graeco-Phoenician The sarcophagus consists of a hollowed lower box covered by a lid that slightly conveys the contours of the upper body and the legs. Earlier anthropoid sarcophagi represent the volumes of a body wrapped in a shroud. The only explicit human features here are the head of a woman, framed with curls, and the long locks disposed on her chest. This sarcophagus and the one nearby are among only four of this type found in Cyprus. It was introduced to the island by Phoenicians, who favored it between the fifth and third centuries B.C. in Phoenicia and the many regions that they colonized. Over two hundred are known today, most of them from Sidon.. Marble anthropoid sarcophagus 242007

Marble stele (grave marker) of a youth and a little girl ca. 530 B.C. Greek, Attic Inscribed on the base: to dear Megakles, on his death, his father with his dear mother set me up as a monumentThis is the most complete grave monument of its type to have survived from the Archaic period. Fragments were acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1911, 1921, 1936, 1938, and 1951. The fragment with the girl's head, here a plaster copy, was acquired in 1903 by the Berlin Museums; the fragment with the youth's right forearm, also a plaster cast here, is in the National Museum in Athens. The capital and crowning sphinx are casts of the originals, displayed in a case nearby. The youth on the shaft is shown as an athlete, with an aryballos (oil flask) suspended from his wrist. Athletics were an important part of every boy's education, and oil was used as a cleanser after exercise. He holds a pomegranate—a fruit associated with both fecundity and death in Greek myths—perhaps indicating th

Baboon holding an inscribed stela dedicated to Iretherukhef Late Period ca. 664-332 B.C. Statues of elite men bearing stelae (stelophorous) first appeared in the Eighteenth Dynasty, often inscribed with hymns dedicated to the rising and the setting sun. This figurine might be drawing on these forms while depicting a baboon before the stela. Iretherukhef, named on the stela, could be therefore evoking the baboons who welcome the rising sun. Through their daily adoration of the sun, these primates were models of ancient Egyptian engagement with the divine. At the same time, baboons are also often associated with the god Thoth, whose name seems to appear at the beginning of the inscribed stela in its ibis form. This figurine might therefore be a creative and playful play with both of the baboons associations. It is the symbol of the adored god as well as the act of adoration. View more.

Carving from an Overmantel, c. 1675-1677. Grinling Gibbons (British, 1648-1721). Lindenwood; The arrangement of architectural elements within grand interior spaces in the late 1600s and early 1700s emphasized symmetry and height. Decorative elements such as elaborately carved mantels, mirrors, paintings, and applied wall decorations were often stacked to achieve a visual focal point at one or both ends of the room. This particular overmantel decoration once hung above the fireplace in the Green Drawing Room of the Earl of Essex at Cassiobury in Watford, near London. In 1823, the British painter William Henry Hunt (1790-1864) produced a watercolor of the drawing room which featured this overmantel decoration.Grinling Gibbons was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, of English parents. After training there as an artist, he came to England in the 1660s and soon began to work as a sculptor of interior ornament, particularly in wood. One of his first large-scale decorative projects was the

Osiride statue of Senwosret I ca. 1961-1917 B.C. Middle Kingdom Along both sides of the causeway leading from the valley temple at the edge of the agricultural land to Senwosret Is pyramid were niches with royal statues of the so called Osiride type. Each statue exhibits a tightly wrapped body with arms crossed over the chest and hands closed to fists. The statues along the southern causeway wall wore the tall white crown of Upper Egypt (like the one here); the ones along the northern wall, the red crown of Lower Egypt. The meaning of this type of representation is still being debated. The mummy form suggests connections with the god Osiris but also Ptah and others. Most probably, the wrapped body represents an inert phase of being preceding rejuvenation, showing the potential for movement (note the articulated knees) in a temporarily paralyzed body. The Osiride statues along the causeway would accordingly symbolize a transition from the place of embalming by the valley temple to the

Female Figure 1st century B.C.-A.D. 3rd century Jalisco Large and hollow, this female figure was probably one of a group of similar ceramic sculptures placed in a Jalisco shaft tomb sometime around the turn of the first millennium A.D. Jalisco is one of the western Mexico states (Colima-Nayarit-Jalisco) from which ceramics of the period come, and its sculpture is noted for a hieratic style with stiff postures and staring eyes. This female figure is a good example of the style, with a ring in her long, aquiline nose, a tall headdress, and exaggerated shoulders surfaced with small "pellets" that have been interpreted as scarification patterns. All are probably markers of high rank. Her bodily proportionslong face, short arms, large torso with small breasts, and unarticulated legswere not meant to indicate deformities but, rather, were accepted stylistic conventions..

Stirrup spout bottle with warrior figure 3rd-5th century Moche This impressive ceramic stirrup-spout bottle depicting a hawk warrior on bended knee was fabricated by artists of the Moche culture of Perus North Coast. The clay was first modeled and specific details of the costume were inscribed or punctated. The surface was then covered with a white slip (a suspension of clay and/or other colorants in water). Traces of red pigment remain on the shield, spout, and the headdress, indicating that additional decoration covered parts of the vessel. The absence of any surface blemishes caused by uneven heating is indicative of the artists careful control of the firing process - the method by which soft clay is transformed into hardened ceramic through heat. The hawk warrior, so called for its beak-like nose, is dressed in classic Moche battle regalia, including a turban or helmet with two round tassels above the forehead and tied under the chin (Donnan, 2003). The headgear, surmounted by a

It is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Pergamum Altar in the Pergamum Museum in Berlin. It is a monumental construction built during the reign of King Eumenes 11 in the first half of the 2nd century BC on one of the terraces of the acropolis of the ancient city of Pergamum in Asia Minor. It is 35.64 meters wide and 33.4 meters deep. The front stairway is almost 20 meters wide. The base is decorated with a frieze in high relief showing the battle between the Giants and Olympian gods known as the Gigantomachy. In 1878 the German engineer Carl Human began official excavations on the acropolis of Pergamum. The excavation was undertaken in order to rescue the altar friezes and expose the foundation of the edifice. Later, other ancient structures on the acropolis were brought to light.

As was the custom during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, contemporary sculptors carved the missing parts and added them to what remained of the ancient statue. This torso was mistakenly restored as Dionysos instead of Apollo. The seventeenth-century additions were removed when it came to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
