The model is of a silvery grey plastic with details painted in dark grey and red, and yellow eyes with no pupils. The figure is largely shaped like a tyrannosaurus rex with two upright legs on large feet with four claws, an upright torso and two short arms, also with four claws. There is a long neck with a proportionally small head. There are spines running down the back of the head from a crest and along the length of a tail that runs along the ground behind the figure. The spines begin as a single line and spread across the shoulders to three parallel lines that run all the way to the tip of the tail, which divides into three points. The whole figure is in a robotic style, with hydraulic looking joints that include discs and hoses. There are rockets on the shoulders running down the back. The chest is moulded like an exaggerated human chest but with hinges at both sides. Most of the joints are not flexible, with the exception of the shoulder joints, which are opposable. The model is made up of distinct parts that have been joined; this includes the tail, which is joined at the back to the lower torso, the lower torso and legs which are joined at the waist to the upper torso, the upper torso, which is joined at the waist to the lower torso, the arms which are both joined at the shoulder to the upper torso, and the neck and head which are joined to the upper torso at the base of the neck._x000D__x000D_

The figure is stood on a stool which has a saw-tooth band around the top and is supported by three human looking cabriole legs. Flanking the infant are two female attendants. The attendant to the right rests on her right knee, looking up towards the infant with both arms reaching forward to hold his lower arm. She wears a girt paridhana, earrings and a headdress with cross hatch design which loops at the back. The attendant to the left is missing the head, but the body is turned slightly to the right, kneeling down on her right knee and holding an unidentifiable object in her right hand. Similarly she is wearing a girt paridhana and a double banded collar set with irregular-shaped stones. Usually in scenes of the bath of the Bodhisattva, the water is depicted as cascading on either side of the infant’s head, but on this piece this detail is missing. | reliefs | null | schist | Gandhara Period | Asia, Indian Subcontinent, India, Gandhara | data/processed/OM_images_white/oriental/1952 |

The face is rounded with small rounded eyes, a prominent nose and small raised pursed lips. The hair radiates in wavy lines from the forehead culminating in a low broad ushnisha. A halo is visible behind the head, but the top is obscured by the centre of the arch. The Buddha sits in a compartment which is formed by a caitya arch with saw tooth enrichment. Volutes are present at each side of the arch culminating on the left with a break, and on the right with a globular shaped object, which is too damaged to interpret, but was most probably a pendant of grapes/fruit.

One of the oldest Russian folk art handicrafts, Dymkovo toys (Russian: Дымковская игрушка), also known as the Vyatka toys or Kirov toys are moulded painted clay figures of people, animals or imaginary creatures (sometimes in the form of a whistle) made in a village of Dymkovo, Kirov Oblast. About 400 years' worth of tradition of Dymkovo toys was transmitted from generation to generation exceptionally by women lineage and traces back its origin to agricultural calendar holidays. _x000D__x000D_
This example of Dymkovo toys depicts a barynya (Russian: барыня, landlady), a motif of the second half of the 19th century. Clay figure of a woman with bell shaped hoopskirt (inside left empty) and green jacket with folds at the bottom and the neckline. The neck and face of the figure are white with hair arranged on the top of the head in a bun under an orange veil. Lady adorned with red rounded earrings and black beads. The face features painted in black (eyebrows, dot shaped eyes), orange (mouth, rounded cheeks) and brown (hair). An ornament made out of clay on top of the head had been broken off (possibly it was a kokoshnik, a traditional Russian head-dress). Small black bag attached to the left hand.

| duruc.1924.79-ll.jpg | data/raw/images/castle/1924 | This is an early Victorian solid silver candelabrum made by Robert Garrard of Garrard & Co. London for the Hartlepool Dock & Railway Company, which is then dedicated as a gift to Thomas Wood, their long-serving Secretary on 1 Aug 1847, according to the engraving on the base. Together in the dedication is a pair of 2-handled silver wine coolers._x000D__x000D_
The candelabrum holds 9 candles and can be taken apart into 7 pieces: the base and stem, a 4-arm piece, and 5 individual arms. The candle holders are scroll-shaped and the drip pans are embossed with acanthus leaves. The twisted branch support is decorated by flowers and leaves, rising from a square-shaped scroll base ornamented similarly with acanthus leaves and scrolls in high relief. _x000D__x000D_
_x000D__x000D_
This candelabrum has very special connections to the town of Hartlepool, County Durham. The Hartlepool Dock & Railway Company was set up in 1831 in order to keep up with the development of coal mines in the neighbouring Port Clarence and Seaham. The candelabrum was dedicated to Thomas Wood of Coxhoe, whose grandson John Wood, having studied in University College, decided to bequeath the object to the College for use at High Table, 'in memory of many happy evenings spent there'._x000D__x000D_
_x000D__x000D_
The candelabrum is in Rococo style, though not in the more common Victorian 'Rococo revival' style. It attempts at re-creating the flamboyancy and fluidity of early 18th century French pieces. That is done to complement the highly decorative Rococo interior of Coxhoe Hall, Wood's residence. This piece presents an alternative to the usual type of Rococo revival in the Victorian era._x000D__x000D_

| 1969.372-ll.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1969 | As below, plus: Rectangular joss stick holder with a light blue-white Qinbai imitation glaze, although this was popular in the Goryeo period (mid 11th - early 13th CE), this piece's style is more typical of the Korean Joseon Dynasty (1392 - 1910 CE), in particular the raised platform's design is indicative of this time. The piece has an opening in the centre top and this has two cracks emanating either side with some evidence of repair. Three of the four Kui dragons were initially missing their heads, one of which was in a seperate plastic labelled bag. There is evidence of repair to one of the body's of the Kui dragons and there was additional glue marks and blu tac marks on the body of the piece. The two dragon heads that were found in seperate bags have since been reattached and a third head has been crafted by the MA conservation student. This replica head is distinctive from the other by the slighty blue hue of the glaze that has been attached. There are more details on this and the cleaning and conservation work that has been undertaken in the attached file. | Incense Holder | null | porcelain | Joseon Dynasty | Korean peninsula | data/processed/OM_images_white/oriental/1969 |
