Title A name given to the resource Ewer with Humans and Animals Subject The topic of the resource Humans and Animals Description An account of the resource This ewer, or a washing vessel, was typically used in either a domestic or liturgical setting. The setting in which the ewer was used is currently unknown considering the figural elements. Drawing from either the secular or religion world, it contains both mythical and realistic animals as well as several unknown human figures. The unknown artist utilizes the sgraffito and guilloche techniques to possibly represent Greco-Roman times or Byzantian and Islamic story motifs. Regardless, the scene represented uses both mythological and realistic subjects to create a compelling story upon the ewer.

Title A name given to the resource Fragment of a Hanging with Two Figures in Arcades Subject The topic of the resource Two Figures in Arcades Description An account of the resource This textile furnishing was found in Egypt in a burial context, alongside many other tapestry fragments. Originally used as a wall hanging, this piece was likely manufactured in a workshop where textiles of a similar nature were made. It was repurposed as a burial shroud after its initial construction. As there are two different colors in the warp (or weaving), this work demonstrates high-quality craftsmanship through its illusionistic play of light and shadow. The two figures are dressed in traditional Persian-style garments and the architecture shown in the piece acts as a frame for the two figures as they carry fruits and objects, personifying the earth and its abundance. There are many missing details due to time but there is evidence of ancient repair.

Subject The topic of the resource Dionysus or Pan Description An account of the resource This figural sculpture presented is possibly representative of two mythological Gods from the Greek antiquity, Dionysius or Pan. Dionysius is known as the God of fertility and wildlife but also wine. Pan is known as the God of flocks and pastures but has also been considered the God of all nature. The sculpture here depicts a bearded male with narrow eyes, long nose, and thin lips making it hard to decipher who exactly this might be. However, despite the confusion of who the subject may be, it is evident that this sculpture looks back to Greek mythology during the early Byzantine era.

Title A name given to the resource Standing Warrior from a Rosette Casket Subject The topic of the resource Warrior Description An account of the resource This ivory fragment is thick and conical, due to the natural curve of the elephant tusk from which it is carved. The high relief creates extreme shadows and contrast between the warrior and the background. Although the ivory is worn, the warrior’s dignified pose is still very evident as he holds his spear and shield, as well the material’s natural sheen. The fragment we see is only a small part of a larger work known as a rosette casket – a highly decorative carved box used to secure household valuables – that would have been created exclusively by a skilled craftsman working on commission for a member of the upper-class.
