These eight woodcuts (1959.99.8-15) progress from Gabriel’s announcement to Mary that she would bear the Son of God, to the events of her early motherhood and beyond. This included the joy of sharing her pregnancy with her cousin Elizabeth, Jesus’s birth, and the subsequent arrival of the magi. After Jesus’s circumcision and presentation at the temple the Holy Family fled to Egypt to avoid Herod and stayed there for several years. The seemingly out of place last scene shows a glimpse of their daily life in Egypt as Joseph continues his carpentry and Mary spins wool. The Holy Family is surrounded by angels and helpful putti and are blessed by God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove overhead.

LOVE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
I fly like a bird
to be where you are,
to spend just an evening
in your place afar.
Beautiful music
and exquisite dinner -
never has love been
quite so divine!
But soon I must leave
so kiss me farewell,
the last dance is over
as love stories tell.
I'll never forget
the magic of you,
as I'm flying back home
OH! are you coming too?
Beautiful romance
it's love on the wing,
never has true love
made my heart and soul sing.

The vast number of surviving Byzantine coins attests to the level of trade across the empire. Controlled and supervised by the emperor, the producers of coins took care to represent his authority and reflect his stature. Talented artists were recruited to engrave the dies (molds) used for the striking of coins. Emperors increasingly came to include their heirs and co-emperors on their coinage, as well as other family members or even earlier rulers. Coins were recognized, then as now, as small, portable works of art. With their inscriptions and images, Byzantine coins provide valuable documentation of historical events and a record of the physical appearance of the emperors. The coins shown here include the solidus, the basic gold coin of 24 karats; the tremissis, a gold coin of one-third the weight and value of the solidus; and the nomisma, which in the 10th century replaced the solidus as the standard gold coin.

The small statuette represents a seated female monkey with one of its young on its lap. Its left hand rests on the left upright leg, and with its right hand it eats a fruit. Monkeys were popular in Egypt and were depicted in tomb paintings as companions of the people in the fields, as well as musicians and dancers.
