Inkstand 18th century British Known in the eighteenth century as ink standishes,” inkstands were a common desk accessory.

Inner Plate of a Left Forearm Defense (Vambrace) ca. 1400 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. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire..

Heart Amulet ca. 1295-1070 B.C. New Kingdom, Ramesside For the ancient Egyptians, the heart (ib) was the source of intelligence, feelings, and actions. A person's memory was also housed in the heart and so at the judgment ceremony (Weighing of the Heart) in the afterlife, the heart was able to speak on behalf of the deceased, accounting to Osiris for a lifetime of deeds. Therefore, heart amulets were only used on the mummy to protect the owner's organ and to ensure that his heart gave a positive response at judgment.. Heart Amulet. ca. 1295-1070 B.C.. Red jasper.

These two bronze examples are beautifully crafted with ornamental handles terminating in ram's and duck's heads. The better preserved strainer has two rampant lions sitting on its rim.
