Part of a Forearm Defense (Vambrace) 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. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire.. Part of a Forearm Defense (Vambrace) 27674

Gheṇṭa (prayer bell) 11th century Javanese The bell (dril bu) is the most common musical instrument associated with Tantric Buddhist ritual. Held in the left hand, the dril bu (clapper bell) is always paired with a scepter (dorje), which is held in the right. The scepter symbolizes method, bliss, and male aspects while the bell represents wisdom, emptiness, and the female aspects. Both principles are necessary to achieve Enlightenment. The bell handle traditionally matches in decoration the scepter it is paired with - often with five spokes or points (five representing the five forms of mystical wisdom). These bells were produced in Java, Indonesia, during the eleventh century. Buddhism flourished in Indonesia at that time, before Islam became dominant in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

Late Middle Kingdom The five miniature ointment jars 33.1.16-.20 were excavated in subsidiary shaft tomb 29 in the area of the mastaba of Senwosretankh at Lisht South. The shaft led to two chambers. In the debris filling chamber A were found remains of at least two funerary masks, one of them (33.1.64) covered with gold foil and inscribed with so-called mutilated hieroglyphs (hieroglyphic signs of birds and other animals without feet), a style of writing that is found on objects from the late 12th Dynasty through the beginning of the 18th. More gold leaf from the edges of a wooden coffin with a design imitating papyrus matting suggests that at least one of the plundered burials was of the so-called "court type" best known from the funeral outfits of royal princesses who died during the late 12th and early 13th dynasties.

Bottles (Sprinklers). The form of these Iranian swan-necked’ bottles is very elegant. They were extremely popular with western travellers and tourists and consequently are found in large numbers in European collections. One of these bottles was bought at the Persian Pavilion at the Amsterdam World Fair of 1883. According to a romantic tradition, the bottles with their distinctive spouts were used to catch the tears of women whose husbands were fighting at the front.
