Bag. Culture: Mexican. Date: 1800-1820.This crocheted bag with its fancy weave ribbon, unusual for the time, is part of the Mexican beadwork collection of over 600 pieces assembled by Elizabeth Morrow (1873-1955), mother of writer Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the wife of renowned aviator Charles Lindbergh. Morrow collected the objects between 1927 and 1930, when her husband, Dwight Morrow, Sr., served as U.S. ambassador to Mexico. She lent the collection to the Brooklyn Museum in 1938 and upon her death, her children donated it. A collection of 155 pieces of Mexican ceramics and other decorative arts were given to Amherst College, her husband's alma mater. Mrs. Morrow collected Mexican beadwork, along with other examples of colonial and native arts, to decorate their country home in Cuernavaca in order to promote a more peaceful image of that country through its works. The Morrows sought to overturn the perception of post-revolutionary Mexico as a violent and unstable nation by highlightin

Reticule first quarter 19th century British Small mesh bags known as reticules were the must-have "it bags" of 1800-1825. Too small for carrying much more than a few coins, reticules were often shown in satirical prints as a fashionable foible of women's attire. Knit into an elegant lantern-like shape, this example survives with its original ribbon trim making it a particularly lovely and rare example of a short-lived fashion trend.. Reticule.

Four-Cornered Hat 7th-9th century Tiwanaku Finely woven, brightly colored hats, customarily featuring a square crown, four sides, and four pointed tips, are most frequently associated with two ancient cultures of the Andes: the Wari and the Tiwanaku. The Wari Empire dominated the south-central highlands and the west coastal regions of what is now Peru from 500-1000 A.D. The Tiwanaku occupied the altiplano (high plain) directly south of Wari-populated areas around the same time, including territory now part of the modern country of Bolivia. The cultures not only developed and flourished as contemporaries, but also occupied adjacent lands for nearly four centuries. A Wari ceremonial center called Cerro Baúl was located a mere five miles from Tiwanaku-settled fields in the Moquegua Valley of Peru. The two cultures likely encountered each other at Cerro Baúl and elsewhere, but the nature of these interactions remains largely unknown. Four-cornered hats from both the Wari and the Tiwanaku w

Horse Headstall 1870-1880 New Mexico. During the 1860s and early 1870s, Navajos (DinÈ) learned silversmithing from Hispanic artisans in New Mexico, and Plains Indian craftsmen whose own metalwork stemmed from Colonial sources in the eastern United States. Mexican pesos, U.S. American dollars, and ingot silver were melted down and recast in molds carved from soft volcanic tufa. Navajo silversmiths employed steel tools and punches to develop decorative patterns. Early concho belts, bow guards, bracelets, necklaces, horse headstalls, and other items of silver jewelry display massive forms and simple ornamentation. By the 1890s turquoise was increasingly used; although most turquoise was obtained from Southwestern sources, some was imported from China and Iran. Navajo silversmiths rapidly established a distinctive elegant style that has become one of the classic hallmarks of Native American art in the greater Southwest. Today, Navajo jewelry, like that of their neighboring Pueblo neighbors

Gaming purse late 17th century French A new level of card game mania swept Europe during the 17th century. Gambling with cards or "gaming" was a favored pastime for both men and women of all ages and classes. Several examples of luxury gaming purses in the Brooklyn Museum collection reflect the fashion for a specific type of bag in which to hold one's coins or counters won in games like "Put" or "La Bête." Made of velvet or brocade, the bags are often heavily embroidered with silver and gold metallic threads. This example has a band of embroidered fleur-de-lis motifs, an indication of a French origin. Like others of the type, it has a round flat bottom and closes by means of a drawstring at the top edge. A pouch bag like this allowed even the unlucky to appear fashionable at the gaming table..

Hat, 5 11/16 x 14 x 14 in. (14.45 x 35.56 x 35.56 cm), Plant fibers, wool, silk, Mexico, The sombrero, or wide-brimmed straw hat, is recognized by its high, pinched crown. While dyed palm leaves are often woven into colorful stripes around a sombrero's crown, this particular example has been further decorated with numerous imported ribbons of silk and wool. These ribbons would shimmer and sway to the movement of the wearer. An attention-grabbing hat like this is an apt headpiece for a village leader who would have worn it to a community-wide celebration.

(22.86 × 51.44 × 21.91 cm), Bamboo (hōbichiku or susudake), rattan, lacquer, Japan, 19th century, Wada Waichisai I (1851-1901) was a pioneering bamboo artist active in the city of Osaka in the second half of the 1800s. While much remains unknown about his life and practice, the lineage of bamboo art that he establishedand which continues todayis considered one of Japan’s most distinguished. The first-generation Wada Waichisai, a specialist of Chinese-style bamboo basketry, catered to a clientele made up largely of members of the literati in Osaka, who practiced a type of Chinese-style tea ceremony called sencha, requiring a variety of vessels fashioned from bamboo. In addition to Wada Waichisai II (1877-1933) and Wada Waichisai III (1899-1975), heirs to the lineage name, Wada Waichisai I’s students included Tanabe Chikuunsai, who established his own prominent lineage of bamboo arti

Binioù kozh (bagpipe) French 19th century The binioù khoz is a Breton bagpipe. Its name, binioù khoz, means old bagpipe’, differentiating them from the later Great Highland Pipes, which were introduced in Brittany in the early 20th century. The latter were named binioù nevez (new bagpipe), and then binioù braz (large bagpipe). The binioù khoz is sometimes referred to as binioù bihan (small bagpipe) due to its small size (Le Gonidec 2013:97). One of the particularities of this instrument is the fact that it plays one octave above the bombarde, a Breton shawm that it the binioù khoz is traditionally paired with. This duet is called a couple de sonneurs’, or just sonneurs’. The binioù has a long history in Brittany, but it is in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century that the practice becomes ubiquitous and starts appearing regularly in local iconography (Le Troadec 2013:10). From then on, the sonneurs are well-known figures called upon to play at all sorts of celebrations, e

Goqing 19th century Chinese Carefully incised veins suggest a downwardly curving lotus leaf of dark nephrite jade. The goqing once sounded to announce the arrival and rank of a guest or to denote the length of a pause following the completion of a musical piece. The great importance of sonorous substances, such as wood and stones, among the percussion instruments of the Far East stems from the religious belief that nature itself speaks to the human ear through this vibrating matter..

Moon Lute (Yueqin), 1800s. China, Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Rosewood, wutong (paulownia) wood, and gut; 58.4 x 35.6 cm (23 x 14 in.). Its resemblance to the full moon (yue ) gives the yueqin its name. Found in popular ensembles, the Beijing and folk (jingxi) operas and used to accompany song, the yueqin has only recently been embraced by the modern Chinese orchestra. The player presses the strings between the frets making chord playing difficult but giving increased control over the timbre and intonation. Strings are plucked with fingernails or a pick using up-and-down strokes and tremolo techniques that sustain and provide color to a tone. It is known as gekkin in Japan.
