  2. Cosmetic Jar In The Form Of A Cat This cosmetic jar is the earliest known three-dimensional image of a cat. The sculptor demonstrates a understanding of the creature's physical traits, giving it the alert, tense look of a hunter rather than the elegant aloofness. In this jar, the sculptor demonstrates a keen understanding of the creature's physical traits. 1991–1783 b.c. (Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12) , Unknown http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/mking/ho_1990.59.1.htm

  3. Armband With A Herakles Knot This massive armband, of the highest quality Hellenistic metalwork and in superior condition. It is constructed of a Herakles knot and an openwork band decorated with ivy tendrils bearing leaves and berries. According to the Roman writer Pliny, the decorative device of the Herakles knot could cure wounds, and it was thought to have the power to avert evil. 3rd–2nd century b.c., Unknown http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/hjew/ho_1999.209.htm

  4. Parrying Dagger Designed to be used together with a rapier The waves in the blade may be intended to act like "speed bumps" in breaking the impact of a blow from an opponent's blade. his dagger is fitted with a side ring, recurved quillons, and a depression at the base of one side of the blade to accommodate the thumb and facilitate a firmer grip. 1550–75 A.D. , Unknown http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/decw/ho_26.145.94.htm

  5. Landscape And Chinese Figures Pair of six-panel folding screens; ink on gilded paper The cliff face, for example, is rendered with dark ink and large, quickly executed brushstrokes that create a powerful effect. The choppiness of the water as the small sailboat is buffeted about further heightens the dramatic mood. 1754–1799., NagasawaRosetsu http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/09/eaj/ho_1975.268.75,76.htm

  6. Autumn Grasses in Moonlight This screen is one of the finest known from the hand of the nineteenth-century artist Shibata Zeshin. The dark colors and thick surface texture of the lacquer added to the illusion of Western pigments. Meiji period (1868–1912), Shibata Zeshin • The plain paper surface has been left for the full moon and a few strokes of ink wash across the surface of the moon suggest a light haze. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/10/eaj/ho_1975.268.137.htm
