The Museum Is The Cartonnage Of Nespanetjerenpare

My culture artifact is the Hina doll because it is a tradition in Japan to decorate with them for the Hinamatsuri. The Hinamatsuri is also known as "girls day". This is on March 3, and you wish girls good health and future happiness. The Hinamatsuri's origin was during the Heian period. The people would set afloat straw hina dolls and sent it down a river, which led to an ocean. This was used to take bad spirits away. The hina dolls are displayed on a hina dan. The hina dan is covered with a red carpet and the dolls are displayed on it. On the top is the imperial dolls ,which are the Emperor and the Empress. On the second platform holds the three court ladies. They are holding equipment for sake, a Japanese drink. On the third platform are

Since its establishment, the British Museum has been an iconic symbol of human culture, art, and history. It was built around 263 years ago and has served as the storehouse for many iconic discoveries over the centuries (Caleca, 1979). With a collection of almost 8 million artifacts and historical objects, it 's hard to choose one. Each object has its own value in the museum and reflects the ancient times (Caleca, 1979). In this paper, we will be discussing the artifact called "The Sphinx of Tharaqo” that is preserved in the British Museum.

This artwork is known as the Palette of King Narmer. It is from Hierakonpolis in Egypt (Predynastic period), made in circa 3000-2920 BCE, and is also a 2’1 feet high slate carved from siltstone. This palette shows the unification of the two kingdoms of Egypt- the Upper and Lower Kingdoms- under King Narmer, the founder of the first Egyptian dynasty. This theory is not clear however, as some think it is not a record of true events and is instead an artwork depicting Narmer’s control over that Egyptian region. The intended audience for this palette was perhaps an elite one, as not only was it utilitarian, but it’s detailed design makes it considered a ceremonial object.

The artwork I chose to write about is The Indian Triumph of Dionysus which I came across on my visit to the Museum of Fine Arts. The artwork was commissioned by a wealthy Roman during the end of the second century A.D. Although the Dionysus cult may hold many mysteries it is known that this artwork originated in Rome. The individual who funded that creating of this sarcophagus desired to commemorate his beliefs. Desiring for others to know what he associated himself as is what gave birth to this masterpiece.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, I’ve observed many interesting paintings, sculptures, and artifacts. The exhibits I chose to write about was the tomb of Perneb because it is the only thing I remember the most when I know that I have to focus on Mesopotamia or Egypt. Mastaba Tomb of Perneb was original came from the period of Old Kingdom, Egypt that located in the Egyptian necropolis at Saqqara. It was discovered in 1907, purchased from the Egyptian government in 1913 and given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Edward S. Harkness. Perneb was a court official in the royal household who had a role in the robing and crowning of the king; his tomb was attached to the larger tomb of the vizier Shepsesre, who may have been Perneb’s father. When

In 1868, while visiting the city of Dhiban, in Jordan, the German missionary, Frederick Augustus Klein , heard rumors of an old, carved, and stone. He was led to it by a local Bedouin. He had a paper-mache impression of it made, and went home. The stele was smashed by locals in an argument over who owned it. Later, most of the pieces were recovered and the Stone’s current location is the Louvre Museum, Paris.

Artifacts can come in all different shapes and sizes. In the case of the artifacts present in the Cobb Museum, it is clear that the smaller artifacts tend to be on the New World side while the larger objects tend to be on the Old World side. New World artifacts tend to be relatively small in size. The largest objects were pottery objects, and those themselves were not more than a foot tall. The smallest objects were arrow heads, some a mere inch tall and some several inches tall. In contrary, the artifacts of the Old World tended to be quite larger in size. Artifacts such as the Moabite Stone, sarcophagus of Eshmunazar, King Amenehotep II statue, the Roseta Stone, and the Code of Hammurabi were all enormous artifact, ranging from about three feet to over eight feet tall.

In this week’s reading I especially favored “How to Portray a God-King”, because growing up my mother had devoted our entire living room to the Egyptian culture and it was filled with so many amazing miniature sculptures and paintings. I always let my imagination take over when observing these said works of art, however, learning that these figures were meant to be portrayed as immortal and timeless made it that much more interesting to learn about. For example, in the “Tomb of Ti”, one wall painting depicts him as a giant and towering over the others who are hunting. This is especially symbolic for the great impact Ti had during that time, his size to show his rank, passive stance, to show leadership rather than the act of the actual hunt,

The Nordic Heritage Museum was a lot more than I expected, I very much enjoyed it. I went a couple of weeks ago with some of my roommates and at the time they had Yulefest going on which was something very new to me, I had no clue what it was so I did more research on it and asked some of those who were there about it because there were many vendors there selling different products. The many exhibits that they had there were cool, there were many visuals its one of the better museums that I had been to. I believe that there were some things that have had an impact on American culture.

Egyptian artwork is very complex considering for the time period it was produced,and Egyptians did not have any access to what we have today. The piece I chose was

The Asian Art Museum offered a plethora of antique art-pieces from South Asia, the Persian world, West Asia, the Himalayas, and the Tibetan Buddhist world, covering 6000 years of art and culture. There are pieces that stand out more than others, for my case, these two pieces were The Ritual Wine Vessel (so-called yayi jia) and the Hindu Deity Vishnu. The Ritual Wine Vessel, made from bronze, dates back to 1300-1050 BCE, laying within the Chinese Shang dynasty (approx. 1600-1050 BCE). This piece was found in China, Henan province, and was made by an unidentified artist. On the other hand, the Hindu Deity Vishnu, made from phyllite stone, dates from 1100-1200 CE in the Indian Pala period (c. 850-1310,). This sculpture was found in India or Bangladesh,

On a recent trip to the Brooklyn Museum, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to witness some of Ancient Egypt’s greatest artistic feats ranging from stelas to limestone heads. Upon entering the gallery, I was immediately greeted by the seated statue of King Senwosret III. While it is one of the more compact statues of the great king, only standing approximately twenty-two inches tall, its beauty and sheer power is not lost. The ability to walk around the three dimensional statue made the experience even more valuable, as one could really see the piece for its intended use.

The first civilization I went to was the Egyptian art exhibition. It was a civilization where art depicts their religion. Sculptures were created for the statues of kings, queens, gods, goddesses and pharaohs due to the fact that they were worshipped and honored. The title of the art that I was interested in was the Seated statue of Amenemhat II. Dated in 1919-1885 BC. During the Middle Kingdom era the third ruler of the 12th Dynasty Amenenhat II was a Pharaoh who had a peaceful reign, he led a Nubian expedition, and traded foreign gifts and items with former people who held supremacy before him.

I have chosen a piece titled “Jade Ornament with Animal Patterns”. The circular piece is made up of intricate carvings of dragon, phoenix, and bears surrounding a center inlay of turquoise. The ornament appears to be entirely decorative with no obvious sign of function. The artist is unknown, but the ornament is believed to originate sometime in the early, or “Western”, Han Dynasty between 206BC-25AD. The ornament is now housed in the Hunan Provincial Museum, located in the Hunan province of China, in the city capital of Changsha.

Three types of artifacts that interested me the most at the museum are the agricultural objects, the cooking utensils and clothing. The agriculture objects such as: cutlass, pick axe, axe grinding stone and grass knife (hassawa). The grinding stone also known as the Jata in hindi was used by each plantation. Every
