In 1909 Claude Bragdon received the commission for the New York Central Railroad Station in Rochester. Inspired by Louis Sullivan’s mantra, “form follows function,” Bragdon’s design for the exterior of the building was based on the wheels of a locomotive. The interior design incorporated geometric shapes with a freestyle treatment of a variety of historic styles. The New York Central Railroad Station, completed in 1913, was to be demolished in 1965. All that remains are the artist’s renderings, photographs, and tiles salvaged from the interior.

For years, Indigenous activists have led efforts to reclaim the remains of their ancestors and sacred cultural objects currently housed in museums, universities, and other cultural institutions.
In 1990, U.S. federal law established the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) to facilitate this process. In December 2023, NAGPRA ruled that museums must obtain consent from lineal descendants, Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations before allowing any exhibition of, access to, or research on these objects.
MAG has removed works from display that are classified under the statute in compliance and in support of the repatriation of these items to their original caretakers, including this work.
Nampeyo's name and her descendants are cultural icons of Pueblo pottery. Belonging to the Hopi First Mesa pueblo, she learned to make pots at an early age. She is credited with the revival of Hopi pottery-making in the early 20th century, a result of her great skill and innovative adaptations of traditional forms and designs. The interior of this bowl is decorated with an image of a katsina, a supernatural being embodied by masked dancers of the pueblos.

Frans Wildenhain was a distinguished professor of ceramics at Rochester Institute of Technology. In this beautiful piece, he alludes to the classical myth of Daphne, who was pursued by the god Apollo. She appealed for help and was turned into a laurel tree. Wildenhain expresses the transformation by the gradual plainness of the body of the pot turning into stylized, glazed vegetative forms.

Once living in what is now the Four Corners – where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet - the Anasazi were the ancestors of modern Hopi, Zuni and other Pueblo peoples. Their accomplished forms were decorated with both polychrome designs and the black-on-white patterns seen here.

Typically thin-walled and light-weight, ollas were originally used to carry and store water. As with most pueblo pottery, women traditionally made the jars; they dug the clay, painted designs using colors derived from plants or minerals and fired the pots. This tightly-drawn overall geometric pattern is one of many variations in Acoma design, a mark of potters responding to changing economic demands, and bridging those demands with ties to their traditional forms.

Characteristic features of Zuni pottery are: areas of parallel lines (hatching), stylized birds, and a large rosette. The line break, which is the space left by the incomplete circular painted border that separates the upper and lower sections of the jar, is called by the Zuni onane, or “road.” It is thought to represent the life of the pottery painter herself, and must be left unfinished. It may also refer to the sipapu, or mythic place of emergence from the underworld. Traditionally it is the first painted line applied to the vessel.

One of the largest of the Northern pueblos, Santo Domingo is between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The pottery produced there is distinguished by its cream slip base and dark black geometric designs, with particular attention paid to the negative spaces. The local clay is quite elastic and lends itself easily to large forms. This piece presents the hallmarks of an elegant and solid figure, rolled-out rim, small neck and gracefully tapered bottom.

Focusing more on design motifs and less on symmetry of form, a Zuni jar often combines lyrical figures with geometric abstractions. This jar depicts a distinctive Zuni design, a painting of a deer with a heart-line: a red arrow of life or breath that extends from its mouth to its chest.

Resistant to the pressures of fashion, the Zia design vocabulary has changed little in over a hundred years. These decorative compositions often consist of a mix of geometric forms, rainbow bands (shown here encircling the neck), floral designs and references to bird imagery. Note the abstracted feather design repeated within several circles around the jar.

Ceramics
Wayne Higby, head of the ceramics department at Alfred University in Alfred, New York, is one of America’s preeminent ceramists. His works are small-scale abstract landscapes, incorporating colors and forms derived from the natural world. Influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition, Higby uses a raku firing technique wherein glazed pieces are removed from the kiln while still hot and placed to cool in combustible materials like leaves or straw. This typically results in gray or black areas, lustrous colors, and a crackled surface. Turquoise Bay Winter is one of a series of “landscape bowls” that the artist created in the 1980s and 1990s.

Ceramics
Many of Rochester's distinguished and internationally-known ceramists are represented in the Memorial Art Gallery's permanent collection. Recently, the Gallery acquired this signature piece by Rochester Institute of Technology professor Stephen Merritt. Its perfectly balanced form appears to hover in space, complemented by the blue glaze's emergence from the rich blackness. The artist's work expresses an Eastern aesthetic that was absorbed during years of study in Japan and continued interest in the traditions of Asian ceramics.
[Gallery label text]
Born in Rochester, New York, Stephen Merritt studied in Japan and taught at Rochester Institute of Technology. “My work has sought to capture what my teachers – and, I believe, all great potters – have sought: the elemental nature of clay and the classic beauty it can convey,” explains Merritt.

The Chimú culture valued individually woven and embroidered textiles and fancy metalwork, but most of their pottery was mass produced mold-made blackware. Many copies of each design were created and disseminated and have been found in graves throughout the region.

Ceramics
The Moche were keen observers of humanity as evidenced by the wide variety of subjects treated in their ceramics. Although they often based their designs on realistic images and scenes from daily life, these vessels probably had religious and symbolic significance. Here, a portrait of a blind man may allude to both a specific individual and the shamanic practice of using senses beyond sight to determine meaning. This figure is seated and wears a sash that passes through the stirrup spout of another vessel.

Ceramics
Double vessels are typical of Chimú ceramics and were valued for their musical component: blowing into the spout produces a whistling sound. When filled with liquid the vessel can be made to whistle by itself by tipping it back and forth, thus forcing air from one chamber to the other, causing the whistle to sound. Here the whistle is incorporated into the head of a llama or an alpaca. Prized as a source of food, fiber and transport, they were valuable and essential animals and frequently depicted in the art of the Andean region.

Ceramics
The Nasca inhabited the southern coastal valleys of Peru. They produced distinctive ceramics decorated with images of shamans, ritually severed heads, supernatural beings and a variety of animal and plant forms. Frequently using hallucinogenic drugs to induce visions, shamans were often depicted in a transitive state of being, possessing both human and animal characteristics. This vessel portrays a wide-eyed shaman in the midst of an ecstatic flight. The shaman is shown with the upswept whiskers of an otter and the body of a pampas cat, both of which live near water and were considered to be agricultural guardians.

Ceramics
The arts of the Moche, who flourished on the northern desert coast of Peru, evolved from earlier styles in the region. Known to have been weavers, metalworkers, mural painters and builders of large-scale monuments, only their ceramics remain as a testament to their achievements. Stirrup spout vessels – so named because the shape of the spout recalls the stirrup on a horseman's saddle - were designed for the storage and libation of liquids. The unique handle design inhibited both evaporation and spillage as it allowed the vessel to be carried on a belt or sash. This vessel depicts two animated warriors in full regalia; each wears a half-moon nose ornament as a sign of rank and power.

This vessel is in the form of a stylized human holding a bowl, perhaps making a coca offering. Death, marriage, and almost any other social or religious ritual once included an offering of coca. Possessing ceremonial significance, the leaves of the coca plant have also been used in the Andean region for hundreds of years to treat ailments ranging from dysentery to altitude sickness.
There is a small opening in the top of the vessel suggesting it may have been used to hold cremated human remains. The slit eyes may indicate death or a trance state.

Incense burners are found throughout the Ancient Americas, and this example is similar in purpose to the incense burner in the figure of Macuilxochitl in the case across the room. The smoke that emanated from an incense burner during a ritual could magically shroud the physical world before it dissipated into the mysterious world of the cosmos. The form itself is firmly rooted in the natural world: echoing the shape of an active volcano, the rough-textured bands of appliquéd pellets are symbolic of the scutes on an alligators hide.

This vessel has all the features of a jaguar: ferocious snarling face, sharp teeth, long tail and golden black-spotted coat. The hollow legs and the mouth contain small clay balls that rattle when the jar is shaken, in imitation of the jaguar’s growl. Admired for their strength and agility, jaguars were a powerful and ubiquitous symbol frequently adopted by shamans as an alter-ego. Here the jaguar is depicted in a human-like crouch with the “hands” placed on the knees – a position not possible for this animal. In fact, what we’re witnessing is a typical meditation pose of a shaman and the transformation into his/her animal form.

The effigy vessel seen here takes the form of a human head and may refer to the practice of ritual decapitation. This bowl was made by the coil method and represents an early example of tri-color, highly polished vessels that flourished in the region of Costa Rica for over one thousand years. The painted decoration shares similarities with both the Maya ceramic tradition to the north and the Nasca effigy bowls to the south. The similarity in aesthetic approaches across cultures is the result of an active trading network which ran throughout the Americas.

The puma is found throughout Central and South America. It is slightly smaller than the jaguar and its tawny coat is unspotted. Both animals are excellent hunters, being especially active at dawn and dusk. Their ability to move through the darkness, coupled with their strength and stealth, make them excellent alter-egos for the shaman. The cup on the back of this puma vessel is decorated with a depiction of another puma.

Ceramics
This pot originates from the mountainous region of central Costa Rica. Painted with black-slip, the vessel was then decorated with incised marks made after firing.
The two lizard heads serve both as handles and as a visual metaphor for the concept of dualism. This deeply-rooted artistic convention often depicts objects in pairs to represent the fundamental complexities of life and death. A central component of many societies in the Ancient Americas, symbolic dualism seeks to balance the opposing manifestations of male and female, left and right, light and dark, and night and day.

This vase from Chama, Guatemala has the characteristic black and white chevron bands found along the tops and bottoms of vases from this area. The painted figure sits cross-legged on the floor and gestures outward with his right hand. From this profile view, it is easy to see the graceful slope of his head resulting from cranial modification, the shaping of the human skull during infancy (while still soft and growing). The Maya based their standard of beauty on the figure of their Corn God. They believed a long, tapered head was most beautiful as it mimicked the shape of an ear of corn.

The rounded, hollow Colima vessels were made with reddish clay. The black spattering was not intentional, it is the result of the oxidation of the chemical element, manganese, present in the clay. This occurred when the manganese was leached out, over time, by contact with water in the tombs. The vessels’ smooth, lustrous surfaces were attained through burnishing – a process of rubbing the surface with a smooth rock to make it shiny.
In addition to ceramics, valuable goods obtained through trade, such as shell, green stone and obsidian were buried in the shaft-and-chamber tombs of the Colima people.

Many ceramic hunchback figures with single horns strapped to their heads have been found in the tombs of the Colima culture. The frequency with which hunchbacks and dwarfs appear in the art of the Ancient Americas may indicate their significant status as shamans or spiritual advisors. The horns strapped to the Colima figures are thought to represent powerful caps characteristically worn by shamans across many cultures.
Shamanism is a religious system in which the shaman is a spiritual mediator between the physical and spiritual worlds. A shaman figure buried in a tomb may have served to guide the deceased’s transition from the living to the realm of the dead.

Veracruz, the Gulf Coast region of Mexico, is rich in archaeological sites with great quantities of ceramic and stone sculptures. This head is a fragment of a larger figure, now missing. The influence from the Maya civilization to the south is visible in the face’s crossed eyes. The Maya believed that since humans had to squint their eyes to look at the sun, the Sun God squinted back. Thus, crossed eyes became a standard of beauty, and parents would hang beads between their children’s eyes so they became permanently crossed.

This head fragment wears an elaborate headdress and large ear ornaments. The blue pigment found on the accessories is now called Maya Blue. This color is a unique combination of indigo and a special clay that was frequently used by the Maya in their art.

Smiling figures have been found in abundance in the Remojadas region of Veracruz, Mexico. A flattened head, filed teeth and raised hands are their common features. Many more heads than bodies have been found, possibly as a result of ceremonial decapitations.
These unique figures may represent laughing, happy people associated with a god of dance or music, or perhaps their smiles show the effects of intoxicants fed to victims before they were sacrificed to the gods.

Ceramics
The ancient people of West Mexico focused upon the powerful bonds of familial relationships in their ceramics. Treating death not as an end of existence, but as a next stage in a larger journey, these transitional objects were made in the physical world for travel with the dead to the Underworld. Perhaps such figural ceramic groups were made to accompany the deceased into the afterlife as an extension of earthly comforts. Another, more symbolic and less personal approach interprets the ceramic groups as embodiments of agriculture, abundance or lineage.

Beads, armbands, pendants, and ear and nose ornaments have been found on skeletal remains in Ancient American tombs. This Nayarit woman is depicted with nose, neck and ear ornaments and scarification (cutting or branding designs into the skin) on her shoulders and arms. The specificity of adornment would have associated this figure with a particular culture and class. These details contrast with an abstracted body that minimizes certain physical features while emphasizing others. The small, truncated arms are likely a stylistic convention; the wide, heavy hips and legs emphasize the woman’s connection with the earth and reproduction.

Around the lip of this Maya cylindrical vase is hieroglyphic writing in what has come to be called the “primary standard sequence.” Such standardized sequences of glyphs are commonly found around the top of Maya vases from this period. These sequences have been interpreted as descriptions of the function or contents of the vessels and might even include the name of the owner or the scribe. The sequence on this pot has not yet been translated.
The depiction of the seated individual includes a plumed headdress, ear ornaments, necklace and loincloth.

Macuilxochitl, whose name means “Five Flower,” was the charming Mixtec patron god of dance, feasting, love, sexuality, and summer. Representations of Macuilxochitl were favored by women for their domestic shrines. Despite the seemingly fierce appearance of this figure, Macuilxochitl is identifiable by the flowers on his headband, the white butterfly wings around his mouth, and the vertical element of his helmet representing the crest of a bird.
This object would have been placed over burning incense that produced a great deal of smoke. The thick, white smoke that exited through the holes in the figure’s chest may have represented mother’s milk. The smoke that exited through the figure’s mouth may have been a form of communication with the gods. This complex object was a manifestation of life and agricultural cycles, transformation and renewal.

The Maya are noted for the realistic, lively human figures they depicted in their murals and ceramics. The many portrait-like ceramic figurine whistles found on the island of Jaina provide the modern viewer with an astounding amount of detail about the way the ancient Maya lived. The seated female figure was a popular form. Two molds were used: one for the head and one for the body. The rest of the details—elaborate beaded jewelry, loose cape, ankle-length skirt—were created by hand. The whistle is formed with a hole in the figure’s back left shoulder that leads down into its hollow body cavity. It remains a mystery why the whistle form was so common in Jaina graves.
The Maya practiced body modification and adornment that reflected their standards of beauty and reinforced class lines. The elaborate jewelry was likely made of precious metals and green stone. This figure’s nose replicates the prolonged nose bridge that was produced in real life with an artificial nose piece. Between the ears and mouth are lines of scarification created by cutting or branding permanent designs into the skin.

Some figural art created by Ancient American cultures may not depict actual humans, but may use the human form as a symbol. The lives of the people of ancient Mesoamerica depended upon their ability to grow and produce food. The cultivation of maize (corn) was central to their world view. The human figure could capture aspects of a belief system that intertwined the cycles of life with the cycles of agriculture. For example, a hunchback (“fatback”) might symbolize abundance, and a dwarf might represent the stunted ears of corn a typical maize plant produces with the healthy ear. Mother and child figures might symbolize lineage or the way corn starts as a kernel, grows into a stalk of corn, and is harvested for consumption.

This depiction of a mother nursing her child embodies fertility and abundance. As humans gain sustenance and food from the earth, so the child receives life-sustaining nutrition from the mother.
Modification and adornment of the body were practiced by ancient West Mexico cultures. This figure shows skull shaping, scarification (on the shoulders), teeth filing, and adornment with elaborate ear pendants and arm bands. Skull shaping was accomplished by applying pressure to boards strapped to an infant’s head, resulting in the elongation visible in these two figures. Such modifications manifest a culture’s world view and ideas concerning beauty, status and social identification.

Ceramics
Many Maya ceramics depict deities connected with death and the Underworld. This is no surprise as such ceramics were destined as offerings to accompany the ancient Maya elite to their tombs.
The theme of this tripod plate is God N or Pauahtun, one of the principal gods of the Underworld. God N is represented as an old man with toothless gums and a large, Roman nose. A common attribute is his enormous snail shell from which he crawls. A long necklace, likely made of valuable green stone hangs from his neck. The power of this Underworld lord is revealed by the “rulership” glyph (Maya writing) attached to the top of the shell. Stylized smoke is emitted by both this glyph and the shell’s spire. Not much is known about the language of Maya hand gestures, but the position of God N’s hands suggest that he is receiving homage in his palace.
A representation of God N can also be found on the large stone stela in the gallery's collection from Oxkintok, Mexico (accession number 67.30).

Ur III, Drehem AS 4 vii 16; Transfer of lambs from Abbasaga to Intaea, as per Marcel Sigrist, "Documents from Tablet Collections in Rochester New York," 1991
Ur used other number signs. The first two lines here read "7 lambs the 16th day."
The sign for "lamb" is a stylized picture of a sheep pen. "7" is written with seven small vertical wedges. "16" is one deep wedge (10) with six small wedges.
The whole receipt reads: "7 lambs on the 17th day from Abbashaga, Intaea received [them]. [Month of the] feast of Shulgi, [year] the high priestess of Nanna was installed." Shulgi was Ur III's second king. Nanna, the moon-god, was Ur's patron god and his high priestess was one of Ur's most prominent figures. The tablet dates from the reign of Shulgi's successor Amar-Sin.

OB; "Sin-kashid" inscription, as per Marcel Sigrist, "Documents from Tablet Collections in Rochester New York," 1991
Sin-kashid of Uruk ruled that southern city in about 1865-1835 BCE. Founder of a new dynasty, he was from the nomadic Amnanum tribe, which lived in what is now eastern Syria and western Iraq. To establish his reputation, Sin-kashid had numerous tablets like this one made, all boasting of the same thing: that he built a temple for his god and a palace for his kingship.

In nearly every world culture, dogs were the first domesticated animals. A large proportion of Colima tombs had actual dogs or dog-shaped vessels interred with the deceased. The frequently plump bodies of the dog vessels and their ubiquity in Colima tombs support different theories. Some scholars believe they represent a hairless breed of dog that was fattened and eaten at feasts. Others think the primary role of the dog was as spiritual guide to the Underworld. Those well-treated in life (and thus well-fed) would act as a guide for the owner’s safe passage to the Underworld in death.

This large ceramic figure’s intact survival for over a thousand years was likely due to its burial in a tomb. The figure wields a vicious-looking mace and wears black body paint common among warriors in ancient Veracruz. The appearance of its back suggests it wasn’t made to be seen from all sides, yet its size and complexity indicate it was an important object. As with many of the objects from the Ancient Americas, it remains unknown whether the figure served a purpose among the living prior to burial, and what exactly its expected role was once placed in the tomb.

This mother and child may symbolize continuity and legitimacy of the family line. Women were identified with and valued for their role as progenitor; hence this figure’s suitability for reproduction is emphasized in a generous belly and bulbous hips. Reinforcing powerful associations between women, fertility, food and the earth, Chupicuaro burials contained many ceramic food vessels and female figures.

This object has been described as a pipe or an incense burner in the shape of a child or an acrobat. The bowl opens up on the figure’s back and a spout or mouthpiece emerges from the forehead. The material likely burned in the bowl while smoke exited through the forehead spout; the smoke of copal incense was believed to be the brains of the gods.
With eyes closed, hands held to the mouth, and cheeks and lips distended, the figure appears to be blowing or holding breath as if underwater. The unusual shape and orientation of flipper-like feet add to the impression that this figure is swimming.

Generous offerings of real food and ceramics representing foods were placed in tombs for the deceased’s consumption in the afterlife. Other similar jars from the Colima culture represent regional foods such as fruits, vegetables and seafood. It is possible that the small, unidentified creatures on this jar were a food source.

Made in great multitudes and providing a wealth of detail, small ceramic figures like this one illustrate the prevailing hair, clothing, body piercing and tattooing styles of the day. This female figure, with her hands placed on either side of her belly, draws attention to her ability to bear children. Figures with hunchbacks are common subjects in many Ancient American societies and are often depict individuals with shamanic powers.

Mysterious, beautiful, contemplative—this small ceramic head of a young woman offers few clues as to her origins. While her hairstyle and earrings are typical to Greek art, her thick wreath, representing hundreds of tiny flowers threaded onto a rope of grass, indicates she may be Egyptian. Archeologists have discovered similar wreaths made of real flowers in Egyptian tombs, suggesting this head was made in Egypt after Alexander the Great conquered that land in 332 BCE. The flowers were most likely roses, also believe to have been introduced into Egypt by the Greeks in the 300s BCE.

This ceramic vessel and ornate pair of earrings [28.244] are only two of the over 500 artifacts given to MAG by Rochester businessman C. Herbert Ocumpaugh in 1928, when he donated his entire collection of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern antiquities to the University of Rochester. Although he was not an archeologist—he had never traveled to these areas of the world—he developed a lifelong fascination with ancient cultures fueled by many visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Aided by archeologists and museum directors, he spent 25 years amassing objects as diverse as iridescent glass, bronze figures of gods and goddesses, and richly-painted Greek ceramics. Ocumpaugh’s donation formed the core of MAG’s ancient collection; today, over 50 objects from this group are included in the exhibits of the Helen H. Berkeley Gallery of Ancient Art on the second floor.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
Amulets of nude dwarfs probably represent Ptah, the god of craftsmen, and were worn by many workers for protection.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
Anubis was the god of mummification and protected the deceased’s body from harm. Amulets of Anubis would not have been worn as jewelry by the living but would only have been placed in the linen wrappings of the mummy.

Ceramics
A krater is a large, wide-mouthed jar, often used for mixing wine and water. These two kraters [51.203, 51.204] were found on Cyprus, an important island in the trade routes of the ancient Mediterranean and location of a significant Mycenaean colony. They likely served a funerary function, holding wine at the funeral feast, or containing the cremated remains of the deceased.
The similar scenes on these two kraters represent the popular Mycenaean decorative motif of horse-drawn war chariots. The vase painter represented the two horses as a single body with two heads, two tails, and two pairs of forelegs and hind legs.
The scene may refer to honors for a fallen warrior as described by Homer in the Iliad, where, during the Trojan War, the Greek hero Achilles led a solemn chariot procession in tribute to his dead companion Patroclus.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
The figure of the ba-bird has a human head on a bird’s body and symbolizes the ba, one of the human spirits that could return to the body after death. Ba-bird amulets were usually placed on the mummy’s chest and, if necessary, could act as a substitute for the ba of the deceased.

verso, During the 2007 small object inventory there was some confusion between this object, 21.1, and the object now in embark as 21.2.
After exhaustive research, the following information was gathered:
Each of these two tiles were found with the numbers now given to them painted on their verso in red paint. Yet, according to the log book and catalog cards, these two tiles were characterized as both being "Glazed pottery with over glazed painting. Decorated with a design of birds and flowers in blue and black. Dug up on site of a private bath in Hamadan, 1918." While this description matches the tile found painted and now considered 21.2, it does not match the tile found painted and now considered 21.1. To further confuse matters, the log book and catalog cards both mention that the tile 21.1 was broken. In 2007, only 21.2 was found to be broken (upper left corner). In addition, the dimensions documented in the log book and catalog cards for both objects are incorrect, but incorrect to a greater degree for the tile painted and now considered 21.1.
One possible hypothesis is that the original tile accessioned into the collection as 21.1 was either lost or completely destroyed at one point, and the tile found numbered and now considered 21.1 was "found in collection" and took the place of 21.1. Whether this decision was made knowingly or out of ignorance is unclear.
Another possible hypothesis that the the tile found numbered and now considered 21.2 was originally 21.1 (which may account for the description of the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 being "broken") and the tile that entered the collection as 21.2 was lost or destroyed at one point. The tile found numbered and now considered 21.1 was "found in collection" and mistakenly took the place of 21.1 and the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 was mistakenly numbered as 21.2.
A true mystery indeed.
Conclusion: In order to reduce confusion in the future when working with the objects in storage, the numbers painted on the verso of each tile in red remain and those designations now define their identity. Although this may not be as they were entered into the collection, the tile painted 21.1 is now considered 21.1 and the tile painted 21.2 is now considered 21.2. At the present time, it is impossible to prove otherwise.
See the object files for more information.

The female figure was the most common subject of the clay figures of the Predynastic age. Simple and smooth, the primitive totemic figures were often reduced to lumps of clay with only the female features in detail. Many of these statuettes must have represented the fertility or mother-goddess. Others may have represented loved ones, servants, or dancing women who accompany the deceased to the next life.

Ceramics
This large, roughly-constructed storage vessel is one of thousands produced by pottery work-shops throughout the Mediterranean region. Pointed bases enabled amphorae to be stored upright, embedded in sand. For shipment by sea, they were packed horizontally, fitting head-to-end for stability in rough waters. The distinctive shape of this amphora may identify it as a Spanish-made vessel for shipping garum, a fermented fish sauce that was a staple at Roman banquets.

Scarabs are amulets and seals carved in the shape of the Egyptian beetle, (Scarabaeus sacer), which was the hieroglyph for "become" or "come into existence." This large scarab contains the name of Amenhotep III, a king of the 18th Dynasty. It also bears the throne name of Thuthmosis III, an earlier king of the New Kingdom, whose scarabs were used as potent talismans centuries after his death.

The celebration of the ancient Egyptian New Year included gifts of these distinctively shaped vessels incised with garlands, geometric designs, and inscriptions invoking the gods to grant the owner life, health, and happiness. Two baboons, sacred to the calendar god Thoth, sit on each side of the papyrus-flower neck of the bottle. The bottles may have contained perfumes or oils used in New Year ceremonies, or perhaps water from a sacred pool.

This unusual figure simultaneously incorporates the physical qualities of both a grown man and a very young child. Depicting a warrior or a hunter, his right arm is drawn back and appears ready to release a weapon.
The figure was mold-made and probably produced for ritual purposes or burial. It would have been embellished with jewelry in the holes in his ears and nose. Quite often figures such as these would have been adorned with clothing and headdresses befitting the rank of a particular individual.

Female protomes, or half-length figures, possibly represented Persephone or Demeter. Both of these goddesses were associated with death and the afterlife. This figure would probably have been placed in a sanctuary as a votive offering.

This warrior figure wears an elaborate headdress, large ear ornaments, a necklace with pectoral pendant and a loincloth. Although the two cylindrical vessels are now empty, they may have held funerary offerings believed essential to the deceased’s survival and comfort in the afterlife.

The worshipper carrying a sacrificial lamb to the altar was an ancient religious motif which survived in early Christian art in representations of the Good Shepherd. Perhaps this mold-made plaque was used as a token for service rendered in the temple.

Terra cotta figurines for religious functions were mass-produced along the Syrian-Phoenician coast. Perhaps this is a representation of one of the Canaanite goddesses, such as Asherah, Astarte, or Anat.

"Lunar Movement is from a series I did in 1997-98," writes ceramist Andrea Gill, who teaches at the School of Art and Design at Alfred University. "My thoughts at the time were very much about dance, and the title refers to that, and perhaps to the Lunar Moth, in reference to the wings on the vase. I have been working for a long time on large vases covered with layers of color and pattern. It is a combination of my fascination with the vase as a form for exploration of volume, and my love of color, pattern and ceramic surfaces."
Gill's visionary work advances the great tradition of pottery found in many ancient and modern cultures.

The ancient people of West Mexico focused upon the powerful bonds of familial relationships in their ceramics. Treating death not as an end of existence, but as a next stage in a larger journey, these transitional objects were made in the physical world for travel with the dead to the Underworld. Perhaps such figural ceramic groups were made to accompany the deceased into the afterlife as an extension of earthly comforts. Another, more symbolic and less personal approach interprets the ceramic groups as embodiments of agriculture, abundance or lineage.

Ur III, Lagas Sulgi 45; Barley yield of a field, as per Marcel Sigrist, "Documents from Tablet Collections in Rochester New York," 1991
Many tablets were completely covered by a clay envelope onto which their text was recopied and sealed for security. This one records royal gurs (about a bushel) of grain (she). The she sign is a stylized picture of grain.
The tablet is dated: "month of the cutting of the grain, year when Ur-bi-lum (a nearby city) was destroyed." This was 2049 BCE, under King Shulgi.

Ur III, Lagas Sulgi 46 xi; Beer and flour, as per Marcel Sigrist, "Documents from Tablet Collections in Rochester New York," 1991
Sumeria had several kinds of flour: barley, emmer (a form of wheat), and pea flour. This tablet lists different flours given to two individuals, Akia and Susu. To officialize the record, the scribe affixed his personal seal. The cylindrical seal was rolled across the main text. It reads: "Ur Baba the scribe the son of Namu." The name Ur Baba means "Man of Baba," a well-known goddess, indicating that the scribe was her devote.

Ceramics
Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
Taweret, shown as a pregnant hippopotamus, was a domestic rather than funerary goddess. Women wore amulets of Taweret to protect them during childbirth.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
The tyet sign represents the girdle, or belt, of the goddess Isis. Amulets with tyet signs, always included in the wrappings of mummies, were usually placed on the neck. This amulet shows six tyet signs linked together.

The djed-pillar is the symbol of the god Osiris’ backbone and represents stability and strength. Priests placed small djed-pillar amulets near the spine of the deceased during the wrapping process.

Anne Currier, internationally renowned ceramist and professor of ceramics at Alfred University, was one of six artists included in the first Rochester Biennial exhibition in 2004. She speaks eloquently about her work:
"The ceramic sculptures express my curiosity about… the physical and visual exchange of masses and voids in space…how the absence of a shape can assert a presence and define an arcane existence. Projection and recession, hard and soft, light and shadow, substance and impression are dynamics that parallel content and intentions…Color and texture are chosen to enhance the ambiguity between the visual perception of a surface and the reality of touch. There is a compulsion to experience inside and outside, using the simplicity of clay cylinders, cones, planes and edges…Associations with architecture and positions of the human figure found in Buddhist temple friezes are part of an exploration that generates for me an intriguing sense of scale, intimacy and narrative."

The name and work of Maria Martinez is recognized far and wide. Learning the art of pottery-making from her aunt, she began making pots with her husband Julian Martinez several years after they were married. They became well-known for their distinctive black-on-black ware, made by combining designs that had been highly burnished (and appeared glossy) with those that were slip-painted (and appeared matte). Maria continued to produce pottery after Julian’s death in 1943, collaborating with family members. This jar was made with her son, Popovi Da.

Small cuneiform tablets written in tiny script, presumably designed to be more portable, have come to be called "messenger texts." Found in great quantity, they all list small amounts (2, 3, or 5 units) of certain staples-- beer, bread, oil, and alkali-- given to individuals who are named but not otherwise identified. The third line here reads: "3 'pints' of beer, 2 'pints' of bread, 2 'ounces' of sesame oil [to] Bazaza."

On this vase, Kataro Shirayamadani has painted chrysanthemums on a band of colors that suggests the sky at sunrise.
Shirayamadani, a Japanese porcelain painter, was hired by Rookwood Pottery because of its founder’s own deep interest in Japanese design. Rookwood played an important role in the growth and evolution of American art pottery (c. 1875 -1925), a period when hand-decorated ceramics production in the United States matured and achieved international recognition.

Kufic refers to the earliest extant, or still existing, Arabic calligraphic script used by Muslims to record the Qur’an, beginning in the 700s CE. The name of this angular script, which was developed for religious and legal purposes, stems from its development in Kufah, an Islamic city founded in Mesopotamia in 638 CE.
