Both everyday objects and ornaments such as this belt ornament were standard for Goryeo-period (918-1392) burial goods. Furnishing tombs with an elaborate assemblage of objects was believed to honor and comfort the newly dead. Generally, Goryeo tombs were left untouched until the late 19th century. During the colonial period (1910–45), however, Japanese archaeologists aggressively excavated the tombs located in Kaeseong, the former capital of the Goryeo period. Highly possibly came from one of those excavated tomb sites, this bronze ornament evokes a memory about the colonized Korea (1910-1945).

The model for this vase, still preserved at the Sèvres manufactory, is labeled "vase à cartels, modèle de Hébert." (This name might refer to Thomas-Joachim Hébert, a marchand-mercier, or to a secrétaire du roi, also named Hébert.) The harbor scene is by Jean-Louis Morin. The "bleu lapis" ground color has been gilded in a "caillouté," or pebbled pattern.

In the Russian Orthodox religious tradition, eggs are offered as Easter gifts to symbolize rebirth, renewal, and the resurrection of Christ. This jeweled Russian egg is engraved with XB symbolizing the phrase, “Christ is risen,” and would have been given to a lady in a wealthy household, perhaps someone of high rank within the imperial court, given the richness of materials.

This tapestry (originally even larger) was woven on a single loom for the great hall of a nobleman's estate. It provided insulation against winter cold and decoration for an otherwise austere environment.
Here the young Greek prince Meleager prepares to hunt the Calydonian Boar, a story told by the Roman poet, Ovid. Meleager gathers heroes of ancient Greece - including Jason, Theseus, Nestor, and Peleus - to chase the savage wild boar sent by the goddess Diana to ravage the lands of his father the king of Calydon. In front of the left column is the brave and beautiful Atalanta, later beloved of Meleager. She will kill the boar with a lance (held by an attendant).
Hunting wild boar was a privilege reserved to the nobility and was validated and glorified in the eyes of contemporaries by representations of heroic hunts from the mythic past such as this one.

Each of the four gospels in this book opens on a page with brilliantly illuminated borders depicting the author of the text as well as birds-principally peacocks, symbols of the immortality of the soul-and fountains, representing the fountain of life and the salvation of the soul. This volume consists of 428 leaves with texts in Greek. Its level of sophistication suggests that it was probably written and decorated in a monastery in Constantinople.
