Match Holder, 1850-1900. Pinto Collection - Purchased from Edward H Pinto, 1965.. The Tyrolean region of Switzerland and Austria specialised in producing small wooden trinkets which were mostly sold as souvenirs to tourists. The popularity of Cook's tours in the 1850s opened up the Alpine region of central Europe and had a powerful effect on local woodworking industries. The quality of woodworking varied greatly. This example of match holder carved in the shape of a child's boot shows a considerable degree of accuracy in its detail and, although it would not have belonged to the luxury end of the market, it demonstrates the carver's great pride in his work.

Shallow bowl ca. 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. Parthian This shallow bowl with an everted rim has been reconstructed from several sherds. It is made of a red clay, using a potters wheel. It was excavated at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos, established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means ‘a hundred gates, suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds. This vessel was found in a large building at Site V, which has been tentatively identified as an elite residence. This building was completely filled with dirt sometime in the late 1st century B.C. or early 1st century A.D., perhaps when the Parthian capital was moved elsewhere and the citys elite residents left with it. It was most likely a drinking vessel, probably for wine. Indeed, clay b

Bamboo flower basket by Sugita Jozan on display inside the Kyoto State Guest House, Kyoto, Japan.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace is in the northern part of Kyoto-Gyoen National Garden. It was constructed in 1331 and the Emperors lived there until 1869. There are also Sento Imperial Palace gardens. In 1994, to commemorate the twelve-hundredth (1200th) anniversary of the establishment of the ancient capital of Heian-kyo there was growing momentum toward building a Japanese-style guest house in Kyoto. In October 1994, approval was obtained from the Cabinet of Japan for "the construction of a guest house facility.

Miniature Round Basket, 20th century, 1/4 x 3/8 x 3/8 in. (0.64 x 0.95 x 0.95 cm), Natural plant fiber, United States, 20th century, In the early 1900s, many Euro-American women traveling through the Southwest region of the United States became infatuated with miniature Native American baskets, and some became avid collectors. Native women basket makers responded to this demand by creating ever-smaller baskets, utilizing the same harvesting, processing, and coiling techniques as those for personal use. Creating tightly woven, tiny baskets in an expanding range of designs and styles for their new clientele required the same levels of expertise and knowledgebut perhaps even more dexterity and skill.
