Title A name given to the resource Gold earring with winged figure Subject The topic of the resource Hellenistic Jewelry Description An account of the resource "Medium: Gold Dimensions: Diam.: 13/16 in. (2 cm) Classification: Gold and Silver Circlet of twisted gold wire, which tapers from the human figure's head at the front end to a hooked point" Both of the gold jewelry pieces tell us the hard and detailed work that the people did in that period as well as how humans were important aspects in art. First, these pieces of gold jewelry represent hard work because the pieces are very intricate and extremely detailed, which simply shows they put in days of tedious work. While looking at the “Gold earrings with disk and boat-shaped pendant”, one can see the intricate designs, flowers, and figure that represents Nike who is a figure that stands for victory and how he is driving two horses. There is also many seed like objects dangling from the top of the earring which contain small pearl like beads on them. Furthermore, in the “Gold earring with winged figure”, one can notice the twisted gold with the figure that also contains detailed flowers. Moving on, these elaborate pieces of jewelry both display humans in them which tells us the importance of human figures in that period of time. Since they worshiped Gods and figures, they incorporated those into their jewelry to remind them of those so that they were with them wherever they went. I would like to learn how people created these elaborate pieces of jewelry.

Subject The topic of the resource Mauryan Sculpture Description An account of the resource "Medium: Gray clay Dimensions: 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. (8.9 x 6.4 cm) Classification: Sculpture" as described from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The historical arts that I will be doing a comparison between are the “Standing Female Deity” and the “Bust of a Female Deity (Yakshi?)” in the Mauryan period. Both of these historical arts are related to each other as they are both depictions of a female deity. However, there is a difference in that the “Bust of a Female Deity (Yakshi?)” is a sculpture of the upper body while the “Standing Female Deity” is a sculpture of the whole body excluding the legs. Even though some parts of the body are missing for comparison, an assumption can be made from these two sculptures. The “Standing Female Deity” and the “Bust of a Female Deity (Yakshi?)” demonstrate that the people during the Mauryan period had matching ideas of what female deities look like. Both of the sculptures show that the people in the Mauryan period thought that female deities wore rosettes in their hair as both of the sculptures display rosettes in them. Furthermore, the people in the Mauryan period believed that female deities wore a small amount of clothing as displayed in the fact that the sculptures of the female deities had little amounts of clothing around their breast. Not to mention, the people of the Mauryan period thought that female deities wore necklaces as indicated from both of the sculptures. My learning objective would be to learn how to analyze images and see how they explain certain parts of history such as culture, clothing style, or diets.

Title A name given to the resource Dish with a Bee Pollinating a Lotus Description An account of the resource I have chosen to compare two Mauryan art items. They are quite similar even though they depict different things. The "Dish with a Bee Pollinating a Lotus" is from 2nd Century B.C. and depicts exactly what the title says, a bee pollinating a flower, while the "Sphere with Scenes of Rites at the Shrine of a Yaksha (Male Nature Spirit)" is from 3rd Century B.C. is depicting a nature spirit. Many people have never heard of nature spirits, but they were very important to the Mauryan culture. I have chosen these two objects to compare, because they are both depicting nature. The Male Nature Spirit is tasked with caring for nature and bees can be found in nature doing their jobs. They pollinate flowers for a living and the Male Nature Spirit makes sure that nothing bad happens during those daily tasks. Obviously that doesn't mean everyone is all of a sudden going to care about Mauryan Art, but we should remember that even back in the early centuries they cared about their environment. They took care of their world and they believed in spirits who cared for nature.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Terracotta vase in the form of a sleeping African (known as Ethiopian) boy Subject The topic of the resource Africans in Ancient Greek Art Description An account of the resource I chose these two images because they reflect on how the Africans were simplified and objectified. The first sculpture is from the Iron age, and shows how the Greek liked to generalize or oversimplify the “Ethiopians.” The face is exaggerated, with an exceedingly large nose/nostrils and wide, pursed lips. The hair doesn’t even look like hair, they just poked holes in the head and called it a day. Comparing the art to today’s times, I think that many people would say that this contributes to the animalization or historically racist caricatures of black people today. Not only that, but this is a pendant, people willingly wore this around their neck like it was jewelry. I think that also says something about the objectification of black people at the time. While Africans were mainly used for entertainment purposes, my second image (from the Hellenistic period) shows that they had also been enslaved by the Greek. The little boy is naked, and the terracotta vase is meant for people to pour their water into. This is a bit contradictory considering that slaves were deprived of many resources, yet the artist wanted people to give him water. Comparing both art pieces, I find it interesting that when depicting Africans, the Greek often turned the art into an object (whether with utility or not). When looking at the Greek depicting themselves, they are often these huge, marble structures or statues with intricate detail, and rarely imposed as an object. They also happened to be clothed, but when they aren’t its regarded as symbolism for purity and is almost luxurious. Further Questions: I am wondering why the Metropolitan only revealed one image that suggested slavery was prevalent in Greece. Keeping in mind that many affluent people collected Greek art, I wonder if they were as enthusiastic to purchase Greek depictions of Africans art. I also wonder if we have perspectives on any of the people who were enslaved or the artist’s that sculpted them. I think that it would make an exceptional conversation to speak about slavery in regards to divinity, and the justifications people had.
