Water Jar with Dragons early 18th century by museado

Jars of this type were once used as water pots on a writing desk by scholars. The rounded crisp mouth is a functional design which assists in removing excess water from a brush. Cobalt blue paintings on the white porcelain body depict a three clawed dragon consuming floating sacred fungi lingzhi, believed to ensure long life and used as a symbol for immortality. A mark for good luck inscribed on the foot of the pot reads "precious jade treasure".

Head of a Male Statue 6th-4th century BCE (Late Period-Ptolemaic) by museado

This head was part of a statue that was most likely placed in a temple to allow its owner to participate in the rituals for the gods and the king. The name of the man is lost, but his shaven head suggests that he was a priest.

Potpourri Vase (Vase potpourri Hébert) 1760-1765 by museado

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.

H: 14 in. (35.5 cm)

medium: soft paste porcelain

Shu early 11th-late 4th century BCE (Third Intermediate-Late Period) by museado

While Egyptian jewelry was worn in daily life, most of the examples known today came from tombs, where they adorned mummies. Amulets provided magical protection for the wearer in both life and death. The consistent color and workmanship of the 13 light-blue faience figures of gods owned by the Walters (this one and Walters 48.1676, 48.1677, 48.1679, 48.1680, 48.1701, 48.1702, 48.1704, 48.1705, 48.1708, 48.1709, 48.1710 and 48.1711) suggest that they came from the same workshop. Represented here is the god Shu with raised arms.
