Text, folio 219 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries c. 1000–1100 by museado

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.

Ichneumon Statuette ca. 664-404 BCE (Late Period, 26th-27th dynasty) by museado

Forepaws raised in adoration, this ichneumon (a type of mongoose) was a votive gift to the cobra-goddess Wadjet. The dedication to her of a snake-eating mongoose may seem ironic, but it is in keeping with Egyptian concepts of association. The inscription on the base names the donor.
