durom.2015.33 | durom.2015.33-rr.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2015 | Zhbannikovo toy - whistle. Zhbannikovo toy (Russian: Жбанниковская игрушка) is a traditional Russian folk handicraft of moulded clay figures produced in villages of Zhbannikovo, Ryzhukhin, Rompin and others in Gorodetsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. It originated in the beginning of XX century in village Zhbannikovo which in later years became a production centre of clay toys - whistles. Zbannikovo figures resemble a pyramid like body on a three-legged base. Horse, cow, deer, lamb and rooster painted with dark enamel paints and decorated with lighter ornaments are the main characters of Zhbannikovo toys. Separate parts of the body like horns, ears, muzzles, hooves, etc. are silvered with aluminium powder. _x000D__x000D_
This example of Zhbannikovo handicraft of moulded painted figures depicts a traditional slavic dragon with three heads._x000D__x000D_
Light blue dragon stands on two short front legs and extended lower body part with a hole in the middle of the base and other hole at the end of the body. The end of the body is covered with silver dyes. Three heads are shaped on the tapering long neck. Blue heads with small black horns and prolonged red jaw with a hole have black rounded eyes and a hole instead of a nose, faces decorated with silver and yellow light strokes of a brush. Two small holes are made in lower part of the jaw from both sides on every head. The back of the dragon is red with six spikes with black tops. The part between the neck and body has a hole on each side decorated with five black dots resembling a flower.

durom.2015.405 | durom.2015.405.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2015 | A lamp made from two brass plates and a piece of fabric. The bottom section is a brass plate with raised sides, and a solid ring at the edge. After this is a latticework pattern of diamonds with a row of leaves, made by carving and pushing holes through the solid sheet - some pieces have been left in. In the centre is another solid piece, with dots and arches for decoration. On the inside, there is a small raised section to hold a candle. The top section is the same, with the exception that at the centre there is a brass plate with a hole in the middle for heat and smoke to escape. At either side of this is a solid bar, which is affixed to a brass handle to hang the lamp. The two pieces are connected by a concertina of fabric, treated to be resistant to the heat, which is quite stiff - this is supported by metal rings within, which allow it to fold down for easier transport and storage. The concertina of fabric is fastened at four points to both brass plates by passing a smaller, thin loop of metal through holes in the brass. The fabric is plain, but stained and dirty from use. | 290lamps

durma.2020.1.13.1 | durma.2020.1.13.1.ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A medieval ash wood bowl. The bowl is sufficiently well‐preserved to determine that it was produced by lathe turning, though its full profile did not survive. Wooden bowls and platters were in common use over a very long period for food preparation and serving, ash often being the wood of choice, as it wears smoothly and does not easily splinter (Edlin 1973, 27). Preservation requires a waterlogged, anaerobic environment, as was found during excavations. Numerous lathe‐turned bowls, both fragmentary and complete, have been recovered from excavations in Britain, with medieval examples in ash wood found on sites from London (Egan 2010, 199) to Carlisle (Howard‐Davis, 2009, 810). | 177bowls

The chape is pelta-shaped, hollow and decorated with two openwork ovals. One of the faces of the chape is damaged and at the breaks, the metal is distorted suggesting the damage was inflicted with some force. The chape has a length of 37mm, a width of 41mm and a thickness of 10mm. The chape weighs 25.2 grams.A similar peltiform chape with a break in the same place was found during the excavations at Prysg Field, Caerleon (Chapman 2005, 14, Bb01) while other parallels from Roman Britain can be found at South Shields (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, 160, no. 3.401) and Richborough (Wilson 1968, 93, nos. 91-2). For Continental parallels see for example Cat. No. 112 from Niederbieber (Oldenstein 1976, 243 and Taf. 19; Mus. Bonn. Inv. Nr E1007) and for a discussion of the type and its distribution, see Miks, C. (2007) Studien zur romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, Kolner Studien zur Archaologie der Romischen Provinzen, Band 8, 335-338, who notes that they are widespread throughout Britain, Germany, Raetia and Dacia with outlying finds in North Africa and Syria. He notes a particular concentration of the type along the Danube and in Dacia (Miks 2007, 337)._x000D__x000D_

The bone has been shaped by shaving the surface lengthwise, then working the tip further to obtain a sharp point; the shaving planes are still visible. Without the top part of the object it is impossible to confirm its function, however it is likely that this was a needle. Until the general introduction of buttons, bone needles with un‐pierced heads were commonly used for fastening loose clothing (such as cloaks and tunics). From the Roman period onwards they were also used as hair pins. Needles with pierced heads or eyes were used to thread coarse materials (MacGregor 1985, 113). | 309needles

durma.2020.3.118 | durma.2020.3.118-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A Roman copper-alloy repousse plate brooch dating to the late second or early third century AD, part of the Piercebridge River Collection. The brooch consists of a circular plate with applied repousse disc with stamped decoration. The decoration comprises circumferential beaded rim and a central triskele motif. On the underside of the brooch, there are two perforated semi-circular lugs for securing the pin, a fragment of which is in situ. The catchplate is rectangular. The brooch plate has a diameter of 21mm and is a maximum of 1mm thick. The brooch weighs 3.2g. Mackreth (2011, 155) suggests a date between AD 150 and AD 250 with a distribution spreading through the 'south from east to west...it seems to be absent from the Midlands and the Marches, in fact, it only appears in the north on military sites. This may reflect on the dating: there appears to be none from the Antonine Wall but plenty at South Shields....the distribution aids the limited dating evidence: one should take it that the large number from South Shields belong to the strongly attested Severan occupation.' | 182brooches

Another possibility is that this is a Bon tradition thangka and that this is the Khyung, one of the sacred animals of the pre-Buddhist religion. This might account for the unusual form. 2 white garudas/khyungs and on eblue appear above the arms and the head of the mian figure. Bottom left, naked form wrathful protector rides on bear?
