"Opening of the Mouth" vessel of Perneb Old Kingdom ca. 2381-2323 B.C. An essential rite performed during the funeral ceremonies was the "Opening of the Mouth."

It would have held milk, or salt or fresh water (see also 14.7.30; 14.7.92; and 14.7.94).For a complete set of implements for this ritual, see 07.228.117a-h.

(34.36 × 17.46 × 17.46 cm), Stoneware with translucent glaze, China, 12th-13th century, This cylindrical jar was manufactured in China during the 1100s but was meant for the Japanese market. It was made to store sutra scrolls, sacred Buddhist texts. At this time, the Buddhist idea of mofa (Latter Day of the Law) became prevalent, and Buddhists worried that the world was entering into a dark period when humankind would be incapable of following the Buddhas teachings. In order to preserve Buddhist texts after this dark period passed, they buried sutra scrolls in great mounds of earth. Most sutra containers were made of bronze. Ceramic examples like this one made in southeast China are extremely rare.

Ewer 11th century This ceramic ewer was excavated at the site of Tepe Madrasa in Nishapur.Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred by the term Silk routes but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages.

Jug Decorated with Dolphins and Birds ca. 1750-1550 B.C. Middle Kingdom or Second Intermediate Period No exact parallel to this magnificent vessel has yet been found anywhere. The presence of dolphins and the freedom with which all the animals move around the vessel body have suggested influences from the Aegean to some scholars. The general shape and double handle, however, are Levantine, and a possible source location for the clay has been identified in southern Canaan, while the technique of decoration is similar to, but not the same as, the one used on the "Tell el-Jahudiyeh" pottery.Three dolphins move around the foot of the jug, with three large birds (possibly geese) above each of them; a smaller bird is tucked below the handle. Is this perhaps an image of the Levantine coast, with dolphins in the water and migratory geese coming to rest on the beach A Dynasty 13 date is suggested by other objects found in the same tomb shaft..

Ritual bell, late 6th-early 5th century BCE, 12 1/2 x 9 1/2 in. (31.75 x 24.13 cm), Bronze, China, 6th-5th century BCE, This richly adorned bell was originally part of a graduated set. It is of the type po-cheng, one of two popular bell shapes encountered in Eastern Chou dynasty burials. Po-cheng bells have a flat bottom, slightly convex sides, a suspension device often in the form of stylized animals, cast on top, and emit a single tone. The second basic type of bell is called yung-cheng. Both types of bells have an elliptical cross-section--rather than round--and include thirty-six evenly spaced bosses (mei) cast into the body. The specific cross-sectional shape and bosses are crucial to the note and tonal qualities of the instrument. The bosses of this beautifully decorated bell are in the form of coiled snakes, and the suspension device is a pair of tigers, entwined with a snake. On the bottom register is an elaborate t'ao-t'ieh mask decorated with scale rows, pointed spirals, and
