This pricket candlestick is enameled in the combination of blue, green and white with delicate detailing in gold that is characteristic of Venetian painted enamels in the years around 1500 and can be compared with that of a large Venetian Footed Bowl in the collection (44.203). Enameling involves the application of a vitreous layer (essentially melted glass) to a support, in this case copper. As a Venetian specialty, it was a natural extension of the glass-making industry for which Venice was internationally famous.
Particularized description: At the base of the pricket is a gadrooned grease-pan. It is enameled inside in white, outside in white-and-blue and green-on-white with gilt ornament. It rests on a blue globe with green stars, which is supported by a green-enameled capital with six crockets picked out by gilding. This tops a tapering columnar stem enameled in white and decorated with a gilt diaper design enclosing fleurs-de-lys. The convex bottom of the stem has eight white gadroons on a blue ground and is attached by means of a depressed molded base, in green enamel with gilding, to a quadrangular trapezoidal plinth, the sides of which have gently undulating surfaces. The top of the plinth is white, the sides are blue and are decorated on each of three faces with a varying vase-shaped ornament from which spread two symmetrical white stems bearing running leaves and ending in scrolls. The fourth side shows a gilt wreath framing a white medallion whereon is painted in black and gold a bird holding a fleur-de-lys in its bill. The plinth rests on four brass balls, and is enameled on its inner surface in blue on white.
H: 8 11/16 in. (22 cm)

Signs that feature unnecessary quotation marks can give the wrong message. Sarcasm asside, have a safe and fun-filled Fourth of July!
This dwarf-like, protective deity was very popular in ancient Egypt. Bes is represented with the nude body of a dwarf, grotesque facial features, and the ears and mane of a lion. He wears a tall feather-crown and usually rests his hands on his hips. Known from as early as the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2000 BCE), Bes was venerated as a protector of the home, family, and childbirth, and for that reason figures prominently in domestic magic and amulets. His close connection to all aspects of fertility and sexuality is demonstrated by the presence of his image in the "Birth-houses"-shrines associated with temples of the Late Period and Ptolemaic period. He also had a special relation to the goddess Hathor and performed in her retinue as a musician and dancer.
This amulet-pendant presents the god in a standing posture. The stocky figure is compact and dominated by the massive feather crown. Dark blue markings show the structure of the feathers and highlight the armlets and bracelets worn by the god. The amulet has a rectangular base and a loop on the back.

England, Derby, 18th century
soft- paste porcelain
Overall: 24.2 cm (9 1/2 in.)
Gift of the Twentieth Century Club
Isabey initially worked for Queen Marie Antoinette, but after the fall of the monarchy, he became the court painter to Napoleon I. In this miniature, he portrays a young Napoleon wearing the uniform of an officer in the Foot Grenadiers. The gold frame, which predates the miniature, was made in 1808 and is decorated with imperial symbols, including bees (a reference to ornaments in the form of cicadas, mistakenly identified as bees, that had been found in the tombs of Merovingian rulers) and the eagle associated with Charlemagne.
1 7/8 in. (4.8 cm)
medium: watercolor on ivory, gold frame

On the right, the furious gardener raises his staff to strike the ensnared donkey, who struggles to escape his bonds. The deer had previously tried to warn the donkey that his loud and abrasive singing would be his downfall. However, the stubborn donkey could not resist the temptation to bray.
Mughal India, court of Akbar (reigned 1556–1605)
gum tempera, ink, and gold on paper
Overall: 20.3 x 14 cm (8 x 5 1/2 in.); Painting only: 11.7 x 10.2 cm (4 5/8 x 4 in.)
Did you know...
The male spotted deer with delicate white antlers is known as a chital and is native to India.
Gift of Mrs. A. Dean Perry
This leaf and the bifolium (double-leaf) displayed to the right both come from the same manuscript: a large lectern bible. The decorative scheme consists of a single historiated initial and spiky ivy-leaf tendrils along the margins, a Parisian convention just developing at this time. These "ascenders" and "descenders" originate from two of the initials and meander along the margins as separators and framing devices for the text. This ivy-leaf motif dominated book illumination in Paris through the early 15th century.
The interior of the initial E contains a background of geometric patterns (called diapering) against which is set Jonah and the whale and the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. The illusionistic effect creates three layers of perspective-the framing initial, the figures, and the background.
France, Paris
ink, tempera, and gold on vellum
Sheet: 26.7 x 40.3 cm (10 1/2 x 15 7/8 in.)
The Harold T. Clark Educational Extension Fund
This may be a portrait of Otacilia Severa, wife of Emperor Philip the Arab (reigned 244-249 CE), or of a private citizen influenced by Otacilia's public images. Her tranquil, idealized appearance is typical of mid 3rd-century statuary, and although she is depicted as a mature matron, her forehead and cheeks are smooth, without the deep lines of concern that characterize male portraits of the period.
Roman
6 1/4 x 4 1/4 x 4 5/8 in. (15.9 x 10.8 x 11.8 cm)
medium: marble

A nude female figure with falling drapery is depicted on this plaque squared for inlaying. The left edge and lower section are broken. The work is summary but well designed.

style: Hellenistic
