Shell Ornament 3rd-9th century Maya This ornament of blue-green jade is carved into the shape of a spiral-tipped snail shell. The natural model for this jade carving was likely a "tulip-" or "spindle snail," scientifically known as the Fasciolariidae family of shells, a widespread mollusk that inhabits temperate to tropical saltwater environments. Two large, L-shaped holes are drilled into the longer side of the ornament, indicating that it was originally suspended, likely as a pendant from a necklace. In determining the shape of this shell pendant, the artist chased a vein of bright green jade within a lighter jade matrix. The upper, central portion of the shell is a mottled, light blue-green. This contrasts against a thick, curved lens of more vibrant, bright green that follows the contours of the shells lower half. The front face of the pendant is polished to a glossy, liquid shine. The back of the pendant, which would have rested against the wearers chest, is completely flat. Tho

Dynasty: early Dynasty 18. Date: ca. 1550-1479 B.C..During much of ancient Egyptian history, food and drink was placed in tombs to provide sustenance for the spirit of the deceased. In the late 17th and early 18th dynasties, foodstuffs were mummified and stored in boxes that echoed the shape of their contents. Carved in the shape of a pigeon, this container was plastered and painted white on the outside, with the interior coated with some sort of resin. Once the desiccated and linen-wrapped remains of a bird had been put inside, the two halves were stuck together and tied closed with a strip of linen. This was one of a large collection of "victual mummies," which included a variety of meats and fowl, found in and around a small shaft tomb high in the cliffs of the Theban massif.

Vase with peacock feathers 1904 Designed by Artus Van Briggle Artus Van Briggle began his career in ceramics at the Rookwood Pottery, but because of respiratory issues, moved to Colorado, where, with his wife Anna Van Briggle, he established his own pottery in Colorado Springs in 1901. The Van Briggles and some other designers produced models from which molds were made, and the vases were then slip-cast in multiple forms. They were particularly noteworthy for their glazes in satiny soft textures in unusual colors, sometimes one or more combine on a single piece. Like many American artists, Artus Van Briggle had traveled to and studied in Paris in the late 1890s and was much influenced by not only the artistic ceramics he saw there, but much of the French art that was on exhibition. Van Briggles early work often exhibits the stylistic characteristics of the Art Nouveau, especially in the sinuous curves of the stems on his floral-decorative vases. As seen in this vase, he emphasized the
