durma.2020.3.930 | durma.2020.3.930-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A copper-alloy element from an openwork belt plate dating to the Roman period. The object is hemispherical in section and comprises two waisted equal arms either side of two ribbed mouldings. The underside is flat and plain with no visible means of attachment. The object has a length of 41.8mm, a width of 4.9mm and a thickness of 2.9mm. The object weighs 3.1 grams. Belt plates with similar baluster mouldings are known from numerous military installations throughout the Empire, although Hoss catalogues no examples from Britain. Hoss classifies this as her Type B.14 (Lechin?a de Mure? type) and notes that the majority of examples come from Romania (Hoss 2014, 156). For a discussion of parallels and images of examples amongst the grave goods of Grave No. 8, Trench No. IV at Apulum, Romania see Ciguidean (2012, 112-113) with a link athttps://www.academia.edu/2375827/Another_Roman_grave_with_military_equipment_from_Apulum | 194belts

durom.2015.363 | durom.2015.363-d1.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2015 | A large orange and red saddlebag made by the Bachtiari tribe. The saddlebag is held closed by a series of eleven rope loops down each side of the centre, which can be fed through slots in the opposite face. At one end there is a rope loop, and at the other end is a red and green tassel with two cream buttons for decoration. Each of the two bag faces contains the same design, with some minor differences. On the left hand side (with the tassel at the bottom), moving out from the centre: a row of rectangles, alternating between orange & blue stripes and red & blue stripes, the borders between these forming the slots for the rope loops. After this is a pattern on red triangles with blue dots in the centre, separated by a blue zig-zag design. The short edges of the face instead have an orange zig-zag and triangles of multiple colours. This is followed by an irregularly shaped border that runs around the whole side, mostly rectangular but with turns to accommodate additional designs in the corners. The border contains alternating patterns of brown squares with a white quincunx, followed by either a green square with an orange dot in the centre, or a red square with a green dot in the centre - occasionally the green squares have a red dot rather than an orange dot, but there is no pattern to the deviation. Inside is a red border forming a rectangle, with two corners cut where the previous border makes its turns; this border features a repeating pattern. Firstly, four arrow shapes in dark blue all facing towards each other to form a cross, outlined in cream; followed by two burgundy arrowheads facing each other outlined in blue; then the same arrow pattern, outlined in orange instead of cream, then a repeat of the burgundy arrowheads, and then the pattern repeats. This border has a sequence of orange and red rectangles bordered within two blue lines running around both the outside and the inside. After this is a rectangular repeat of the cream quincunx and red/green square border, and inside this is a dark blue field with seven medallions; four cream, red and blue, and three red, green and burgundy, primarily floral patterns. The other side is similar, except the rectangular design has green stripes instead of red, there is no blue and red zig-zag and triangle line, the green squares have predominantly red dots with the occasional orange dot, and the central colours of the medallions do not alternate. Additionally, the arrowhead shapes occasionally are joined, rather than being distinct. At either end, and wrapping onto the back of the saddlebag, is a small irregular band of a much deeper, uncut pile; this contains a geometric pattern in dark blue repeated on orange, cream and red fields. The rear of the saddlebag is decorated with red and blue lines, the blue becoming paler on one half. At the top, on each half there is a cream rectangle with triangles at the edge pointing down; this is decorated with diagonal lines of red and blue, with hollow triangles for additional decoration. There is also a sewn-on identification label (see Inscriptions|Markings). | 184bags

durom.1965.5 | durom.1965.5-uu.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1965 | The vase has an eight-sided base, the straight sides of which then bulge out and widen to form the large globular centre of the vessel. This central globe then narrows to form a thin neck, still with eight sides. The neck narrows where it meets the globed lip, which then flares outwards. The vase is decorated in blue and white glaze with several different floral patterns on its different segments. The globed lip has large blue flower decals, surrounding blue stylised flowering plants on a white background. The neck is demarcated from the lip with a band of white with thin blue lines. It has a geometerical design, with small and large triangles pointing downwards. The central globe is again separated from the neck by thin blue lines on white glaze, below which is a blue border containing a repeating floral pattern, framed within circles of white. The central globe's sides have been split into three large white panels depicting two birds sitting in a tree above a fence. These panels have smaller blue panels between them, which frame stylised depictions of fruit and leaves. The decoration on the base mirrors the decoration at the join between the central globe and the neck, it forms a deep, blue border around the white panels, and contains a repeating floral pattern with stylised plants on white backgrounds framed by the blue glaze. Two thin blue lines form a circumference around the lower edge of the base, separated from the blue border by a strip of white. The object is marked in black ink on the its base. | 501vases

durom.1971.49 | 1971.49.1-uu.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1971 | Ivory casket hinged lid, handles and an ivory base tray, decorated with exquisite carvings of figurines in garden design. Surface of lid, a picture featuring two sections. On the right, a bearded mandarin dressed in Court Attire is seated in the centre of a garden, surrounded by attendants and other officials; behing him there is an arch with a panel saying "Yu Men" (Chinese:禹门, meaning the door of becoming a madarin). On the left, a woman , possibly the mandarin's wife, is seated in the centre of another garden, holding a folded fan; she is attended by a female servant; behind her there is another arch with a panel saying "Hong Ting"(Chinese:洪汀, meaning unknown). The mandarin's figure is exceptionally big comparing to all other figures on. Behind either archs there are pavilions and summer houses. In the foreground, a bridge connects the gardens and many people are walking on the bridge, carrying various belongings such as umbrella, fan, basket, flower, goods etc. By the side of the bridge there is a junk with several passengers and a boatman. In the background above the two gardens there are some other figures: on the right, five figures carrying fan or farming tool; centre, five figures resting near a pagoda; left. three figures sitting by a house. The whole picture is edged with various floral patterns and enclosed in a border of similar floral patterns. Apart from the surface of the lid, the other surfaces of the box provide 16 more panel sections, each bound and decorated with exquisite carvings: the 8 panels around the lid construct into a continuous picture, while the other 8 panels around the body of the casket construct into another continuous picture. The motives for either picture are much similar: they shouw figures in various activities, either boating, walking on a bridge, sitting in a garden or talking to each other. This is a common motif on ivory-carving artefacts produced in Guangzhou (Canton). On the left of the back panel there is a nicely decorated boat which is probably a Flower Boat, which is a type of floating entertainment hub in Guangzhou, see [Iconography]. The casket stands on four legs which are decorated with the head of a lion-like monster. The object is placed in a tray which is made of plain ivory plaques mount with fabrics. The casket has a pair of shinny golden handles (one missing), and the tray also has one. Made for export market. | 485toilet caskets

durom.1971.49 | 1971.49.1-q1-d3.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1971 | Ivory casket hinged lid, handles and an ivory base tray, decorated with exquisite carvings of figurines in garden design. Surface of lid, a picture featuring two sections. On the right, a bearded mandarin dressed in Court Attire is seated in the centre of a garden, surrounded by attendants and other officials; behing him there is an arch with a panel saying "Yu Men" (Chinese:禹门, meaning the door of becoming a madarin). On the left, a woman , possibly the mandarin's wife, is seated in the centre of another garden, holding a folded fan; she is attended by a female servant; behind her there is another arch with a panel saying "Hong Ting"(Chinese:洪汀, meaning unknown). The mandarin's figure is exceptionally big comparing to all other figures on. Behind either archs there are pavilions and summer houses. In the foreground, a bridge connects the gardens and many people are walking on the bridge, carrying various belongings such as umbrella, fan, basket, flower, goods etc. By the side of the bridge there is a junk with several passengers and a boatman. In the background above the two gardens there are some other figures: on the right, five figures carrying fan or farming tool; centre, five figures resting near a pagoda; left. three figures sitting by a house. The whole picture is edged with various floral patterns and enclosed in a border of similar floral patterns. Apart from the surface of the lid, the other surfaces of the box provide 16 more panel sections, each bound and decorated with exquisite carvings: the 8 panels around the lid construct into a continuous picture, while the other 8 panels around the body of the casket construct into another continuous picture. The motives for either picture are much similar: they shouw figures in various activities, either boating, walking on a bridge, sitting in a garden or talking to each other. This is a common motif on ivory-carving artefacts produced in Guangzhou (Canton). On the left of the back panel there is a nicely decorated boat which is probably a Flower Boat, which is a type of floating entertainment hub in Guangzhou, see [Iconography]. The casket stands on four legs which are decorated with the head of a lion-like monster. The object is placed in a tray which is made of plain ivory plaques mount with fabrics. The casket has a pair of shinny golden handles (one missing), and the tray also has one. Made for export market. | 485toilet caskets

durom.2014.3 | 2014.3 d1.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2014 | This traditionally woven Bidayuh Sarawak basket is called a Tambok, and is made of dark brown and beige coloured fibres. This example is smaller than DUROM.2014.2, and may have been used by a child or for smaller goods. This style of basket is created by starting with a cross on the base, from which the weaving of the sides can extend out using larger strips, with thinner strands started at the base corner. These thinner strips will be used to create the sides of the basket. There is a horizontal plaited band about a quarter of the way down from the rim, which provides structural support to the sides. The rim is strengthened with a reed to provide support. The design is in a cross-hatched style along the sides with vertical strips of larger strips of fibre creating an almost striped pattern. On one of the strips along the side a diamond shape has been woven through the pattern. There is a strip of loose fibre attached through the plait on the side, which functions as a shoulder strap | 189baskets

eg732 | eg732-r159.1946-d5.jpg | data/raw/images/egyptian/eg | Cartonnage mummy mask, made from plaster soaked linen. Anthropoid in form, the mask comprises of a nemes headress, face, collar and some shoulder plates. The headress is higly decorated, the crown back and sides are decorated with a winged vulture design, possibly Mut but probably Nekhbet.The body is decorated with a bead netting design and the wings are of the usual polychrome variety. Beneath the vulture figure the rest of the wig is decorated with concentric rings of flowers, lotus and scarab designs.The headress continues down the face in a vertical striped pattern, consisting of alternating dark and light blue strips.The terminals of the wig are decorated by another flower motif. The face of the mask is gilded, the eyes and eyebrows are depicted in black (on white for eyes) and are in reasonable condition, the nose remains and is in good condition. The ears and lips are present also but are not highlighted in any way, the ears are perhaps a little crude. Beneath the face the neck is decorated with a bead collar, depicted in a blue, red and white isometric design. The collar also has two falcon terminals, both are distinct one represents Horus and the other Sokar. The remaining shoulder areas are covered in a bead netting design which is mirrored in the vulture figure. Overall the piece gives a sense of femininity, the size and design may well mean it was for a woman. Condition, the piece is very badly damaged and extremly fragile the rear of the piece was only briefly examined for this reason. A large part of the right hand side of the headress is missing. This has also led to a large crack in the face, again right side. The piece is also extensively chipped and in need of conservation. | 347masks
