RMPB0HRX–Funerary figure of Qebehsenuef. Dimensions: H. 8 × W. 3 cm (3 1/8 × 1 3/16 in.). Date: 1100-332 BC. These elaborate composite glass figures of the Four Sons of Horus also show traces of gilding. The date of the figures is quite uncertain. They are likely to be pre-Ptolemaic given the strongly sectional use of color, but until a careful study is done of the style of such figures through time more cannot be said with any certainty. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
RMPANN4K–Green Glazed Bowl with Incised Decoration. Dimensions: H. 1 7/8 in. (4.8 cm) Diam. 5 3/16 in. (13.2 cm). Date: 9th century. A very unusual object in the Nishapur finds, the decoration of this bowl was decorated made by scratching a design into white slip and then dipping the vessel into a transparent green glaze. The production of this bowl cannot be attributed with certainty to a specific location. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
RMPB0GFG–Funerary figure of Imsety. Dimensions: H. 8 × W. 2.5 × D. 2 cm (3 1/8 × 1 × 13/16 in.). Date: 1100-332 BC. These elaborate composite glass figures of the Four Sons of Horus also show traces of gilding. The date of the figures is quite uncertain. They are likely to be pre-Ptolemaic given the strongly sectional use of color, but until a careful study is done of the style of such figures through time more cannot be said with any certainty. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
RMPB1NP1–Funerary figure of Hapy. Dimensions: H. 8.2 × W. 3.2 × D. 2.6 cm (3 1/4 × 1 1/4 × 1 in.). Date: 1100-332 BC. These elaborate composite glass figures of the Four Sons of Horus also show traces of gilding. The date of the figures is quite uncertain. They are likely to be pre-Ptolemaic given the strongly sectional use of color, but until a careful study is done of the style of such figures through time more cannot be said with any certainty.

RMPAAEAF–Honor Making a Chaplet of Roses. Culture: South Netherlandish. Dimensions: 93 x 108 in. (236.2 x 274.3 cm). Date: ca. 1410-20. The French inscription below Honor may be translated: 'I am Honor who makes chaplets for my children who are beautiful.' Repairs make it impossible to decipher the other inscriptions with certainty. The young girl is probably saying: 'To please my friend better, I shall put on this pretty hat.' The inscription above the courtier at the right identifies him as Detuit ('Pleasure'). The gentleman at the left may be saying: 'Homage to my good lady, my protectress.' Essen
RMPB0R9P–Close Helmet. Armorer: Gian Giacomo Negroli (Italian, Milan 1463-1543). Culture: Italian, Milan. Dimensions: H. 13 1/8 in. (33.3 cm); W. 8 1/2 in. (21.6 cm); D. 12 in. (30.5 cm); Wt. 3 lb. 6 oz. (1530 g). Date: ca. 1510-20. As the only known work that may be ascribed with reasonable certainty to Gian Giacomo Negroli (1463-1543), this previously unrecorded helmet is a major addition to the small corpus of works marked or signed by members of the celebrated Negroli family of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Milanese armorers--no more than twenty pieces in total--of which key examples are in the
RMPAAP3N–Portrait of a Man. Artist: Cosimo Rosselli (Italian, Florence 1440-1507 Florence). Dimensions: 20 3/8 x 13 in. (51.8 x 33 cm). Date: ca. 1481-82. Whether this portrait was painted in Rome, where Cosimo Rosselli was employed in the Sistine Chapel, or in Florence, cannot be said with certainty. The sitter wears a costly red doublet lined in ermine and places his hand on the edge of the frame, in a manner found in the Netherlandish portraits of Hans Memling. Netherlandish portraits were much appreciated for their descriptive truthfulness. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
