content: Syria, early 13th century,

content: Raqqa

content: Bowl, small, deep, on a high spreading foot. Broken and repaired; foreign restorations.

content: Clay: soft, buff.

content: Glaze: Turquoise green; advanced disintegration showing a brillian iridescence.

content: Decoration: traces of black painting under glaze.

content: The object is a small bowl that had been repaired previously. The bowl was probably made by putting together at least two different bowls that have similar shape and curvature. There is a blue stripe on the rim and the thickness of the stripe is different between the larger portion and the smaller bowl fragment. The one on the smaller part is thicker. The larger section is decorated with three blue stripes on the interior of the bowl and one blue stripe on the exterior. The smaller one is decorated with two thick stripes on the interior and one on the exterior. There are three paper labels on the bottom of the base that say "Near Eastern Pottery No. 71", "2085", and "SI 1443" respectively.

The figure with a cap is similar to men that appear in Whistler's Rhine river-boat drawings. Braggadocio and beer were significant components of student life. The Pennells reported that once Whistler returned to Paris with tales of his adventures, his artist friends saluted him at the Cafe Moliere with loud songs:

label: Label

content: This long-necked jar and matching stand belong to a group of funerary vessels of northern provenance. Unlike Han dynasty lead-glazed burial pieces, it served a Buddhist function. The appliques of monster masks, rosettes and lozenges with beaded borders reflect Central Asian, specifically Khotanese, influence. The tall, splayed base support, which lends the jar a decidedly more attenuated shape, has parallels in ceramics recently unearthed in the People's Republic of China.

content: Edo period

content: Known variously as the Star Mandala or the Big Dipper Mandala, this painting is an Edo period (1615-1868) version of an iconographic concept that was imported to Japan from China in the ninth century. It was employed in Esoteric Buddhist rituals for the purpose of warding off epidemics, averting natural disasters, and prolonging life.

content: This mandala offers a visual construct that places ancient astrological systems (the twelve zodiac symbols are depicted on the red rectangle that frames the central image) under the oversight of Buddhist deities. The Buddhist strategy of both honoring and subtly subjugating indigenous or competing beliefs is clearly played out in this image. It proclaims that the transhistorical Buddha, not the stars, controls the fate of the universe and human destiny.

content: On the lid of this box is an imaginary portrait of the poet Ki no Tsurayuki (circa 868-945), compiler of the early tenth-century imperial anthology Kokinshu (Collection of ancient and modern poems). A poem by Tsurayuki from the Kokinshu is inscribed in the space above the tatami mat on which he is seated.

content: The design of this box was adapted from a page in a woodblock-printed illustrated edition of Sanjurokkasen (Thirty-six immortal poets) published during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by a close associate of the calligrapher and artist, Hon'ami Koetsu (1558-1637) the wealthy merchant Suminokura Soan (1571-1632). Soan's beautiful editions of classical works of Japanese literature were called Sagabon (Saga editions) after the place where they were printed near Kyoto. Although this lacquer box is only indirectly related to Koetsu, it confirms his enduring prestige and importance to artists of the Edo period.

content: The figure in the drawing wears Whistler's distinctive broad-brimmed hat, but Whistler might have used Delannoy as a model. After his return to Paris, Whistler completed an etched title page for the "French Set" based on this drawing, in which the artist figure is labeled "James Whistler." But Whistler was dissatisfied with the etching and destroyed the plate. The only known impression of the discarded title page is in the British Museum.
