Arm Defense ca. 1450-70 Italian This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering.

Also found in the palace rooms were intriguing clay objects in the shape of hands.Assyrian clay hands were first discovered in the mid-nineteenth century by British and French archaeologists in the remains of palaces and temples of major Assyrian cities in northern Iraq.

(64.8 x 13.2 x 8.7 cm), Wood, Côte d'Ivoire, 20th century, The Bassa are a cultural group related to the better known Dan people who reside along the coastal areas of Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire. They typically live in farming villages of about 200 residents and raise staple crops of rice and cassava. As in many traditional African societies, the Bassa and Dan cultures celebrate important religious and social occasions in a communal fashion with rituals, dancing and feasting. The people of the village are responsible for entertaining their guests and providing food for them. Women who have earned a reputation for their unselfish support of these events are often presented with a spoon of this type, known as a 'most generous woman spoon.' The women then use them to serve rice and other grain dishes to people at public festivities.

Integrated vessel model with four jars 664-610 B.C. Late Period, Saite Integrated model vessels, that is, several small vessels on a slab created as a unit, were found in tombs of Dynasty 26 and perhaps early Dynasty 27 tombs. The vessels on a given slab were of one type, but different slabs or tables might hold different types of vessels, from beakers, to rounded nemset jars, to others. These heavy-bottomed jars of lead may represent deshret jars; these normally had rounded bottoms but may have been flattened here to fit on a slab. Faience is the most frequent material, but stone and a few other metal examples are known. Although long mysterious and variously classified and named, a recent study has collected these integrated model vessels and proposes that they are models invented in the Late Period to represent the sets of jars that are visible in representations of Opening of the Mouth ceremonies in New Kingdom tomb paintings (see Pairy's painting 35.101.3, far left of the lower re

Conical Gaming Piece from Neferkhawet's Tomb. Dimensions: H. 2.5 cm (1 in.); Diam. 1.9 cm (3/4 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18, early. Reign: reign of Thutmose I-early sole Thutmose III. Date: ca. 1504-1447 B.C..A family tomb, belonging to a man named Neferkhawet, was excavated by the Egyptian Expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1935. One of the last people buried in the tomb was a woman whose name was not recorded on any of the objects in the tomb. Inside her wooden coffin was a set of ten gaming pieces, five conical like this one and five spool-shaped. These would have been used to play the games senet and 20-squares. No trace of an accompanying game box was recorded by the excavators. The coffin itself was badly damaged by rot and insects, so remains of a wooden game box may have been indistinguishable from the coffin.The five conical game pieces are quite uniform in shape, size, and color. Four of the spool-shaped pieces are also quite simiilar, but the fifth is different e
