The “Terracotta vase in the form of a bull's head” is dated ca. 1450 to 1400 B.C. from the Late Minoan II Period. The material used for the rhyton is terracotta and paint. The inventory number is 1973.35. The vase is located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Greek and Roman Art Department in Gallery 151 at The Robert and Renée Belfer Court.

Compare to another vase from the textbook in chapter 5, page 121, Andokides Painter, Achilles and Ajax playing a dice game (Athenian bilingual amphora), from Orvieto, Italy, ca. 525-520 BCE. Black figure side (left) and red-figure side (right). It is 1’ 9” high, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This two sides of vase shows both black-figure and red-figure in one vase. It has two handles painted in red and black-figure on the shoulder. The differences between the two techniques can best be studied on a series of experimental vases with the same composition painted on one black and one red-figure. According to the textbook,

The vase is used in the short story as an object that is used for hiding the photograph. The vase is referenced throughout the story. Not only does Murayama hide the photograph initially in the vase, but when the woman hears her husband come home, she laid down “The photograph face up so that its darker hue might blend with the color of the vase’s interior” (434). The vase symbolizes the nature of hiding, in this case she is hiding the photograph in the vase, because she does not

I want to be a student representative to the Pasco board of directors because it will be a tremendous achievement that will help greatly in my academic interests. Not only so but I believe that I could best interpret the concerns and doubts of every single student at Chiawana. From grades, testing, and even academic ability. I’m most adequate, as a result that I’ve been there done that. I know what it is like waking up every day with disappointment of my current grades, or to sit through a lecture not understanding a single thing.

The fragments of the pot were put back together by German Assyriologists in 1933 and 1934. The artworks title is, Warka Vase.

To begin, the context of this art work is from Ancient Greece. At first glance there is no specific purpose to this artwork, common people would just look at it and notice a vase; however, the amphora was very typical to the archaic period and existed regularity within Greek society. An amphora is a two handle pot that was typically used to store dry or wet goods, mostly stored wine. Such amphora’s and other storage vases date back to the Neolithic period, but the unique style of this artwork directly relates

It is uncertain if the Etruscans prized the container as a luxury vase for the commodity that was shipped inside. Possibly they consumed the grain, wine or olive oil cleaned it and used as decoration (Martin 75-241). The amphora during the Classical and Hellenistic periods held about five gallons; however, they varied in size depending on the commodity being held. They were fabricated so they could be arranged upright on ships and horizontally by the end user. There was a plethora of amphora handles found in archeological sites, at least 130,000 in Athens and Alexandria. This quantity validates how ubiquitous they were in the ancient world, and how common in daily life they became (“Ancient” Garland). According to Stokstad and Cothren, to create a black-figure vase an artist follows this technique, “apply a slip to the surface of the pot and carefully manipulate the firing process in a kiln to control the amount of oxygen reaching the ceramics. This firing process involved three stages. In the first stage, oxygen was allowed into the kiln, which fixed the whole vessel in one overall shade of red depending on the composition of the clay. Then, in the reduction stage, the oxygen in the kiln was reduced to the minimum, turning the vessel black, and the temperature was raised to the point at which the slip partially became glasslike.

Edible Arrangements brand revolves around family values and beliefs in an effort to appeal to one’s emotional side. Commercials emphasize family gatherings during the holiday season and special celebrations. Many times the fruit baskets are next to floral arrangements or chocolate rabbits, for instance, as a delicious healthy alternative to these choices. These commercials appear to be working and we capitalize on the commercials by advertising similar campaigns in local print ads which includes a $5 coupon when spending $50 or more. See Appendix A.

Most mythologies contain borrowed aspects from older accounts of the same stories. Myths serve to answer the questions mankind was and is unable to answer simply. Because of the yearning for knowledge mankind has always held, those who were looked towards for answers often had similar explanations based on what they were once told. This sharing of information has given historians an array of mythologies from across the world that can be placed on a semi-clear time line as they adapted and parts changed to better suit a single cultures demands. These oral traditions, later to be written, also found their way onto much art through the ages that now are often open to interpretation since the artists are long passed. The vase's image and text

On the opposite side of the table is a small bronze vase. Upon first glance I deemed this to be a red clay vessel, but after further familiarizing myself with the artist’s work it became clear that this was bronze, based on comparable material use in other still life examples. Because of the Netherlands regional location within Europe, bronze was plentiful and valuable. In multiple examples of Jean-Michel Picart’s still lifes the bronze vase is used to display a full bouquet of flowers. Often, these vessels were detailed with unique patterns engraved on the exterior portion of the vase. In this example, the vase is decorated with natural motifs of vines and leaves which are mimicked in the floral arrangement it holds. At the time of production,

Economic: The industry’s performance is highly tied in with the economy. A weak economy will mean weak sales.

The political ties with other countries which may influence trade agreement (Brics) will have an impact with Mr Price sport, because most of Mr Price staff imported from china and china is involved in the bricks.

One of the memories that is more permeate in my mind is when my father had to travel to China for business intentions. I remember when he leaves the country, but not more than when he arrived home. Usually, when he came back home, he usually bring with him some gifts for me and my mother, and he never forgets to bring me my favorite gift which I still love when he give away to me. I like to call it as the God´s dessert because of its curious shape of production, intense flavor, and delightful meaning.
