This Bronze armor could have been worn by a military officer in the Hellenistic Period (200 BC- 200 AD). This cuirass was normally worn by higher class people living in Greece. Artisans, who were likely lived in poverty, would have most likely made the cuirass for military officers at that time. At times these military officers were given land that was owned by the poor. The laborers who crafted the cuirass for the wealthy soldiers had to work under very difficult working conditions.

Subject The topic of the resource Sculpture Description An account of the resource From The Metropolitan Museum of Art website, "Date: 3rd-2nd century B.C. Culture: India Dimensions :3 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. (8.9 x 6.4 cm) Medium: Gray Clay" A small sculpture of the torso of a Female Deity believed to be Yakashi. These sculptures present that early India was very religious and seemed to worship the same Female Deity, possibly Yakashi, throughout. They also show that different materials were used depending on the location and origin of the sculpture. The Standing Female Deity (from Northern India) was created using terracotta and black oxidation patina, whereas the Bust of a Female Deity (Yakashi?) (From India) was constructed with grey clay. I can conclude that the material that was used either showed significance or was the only material available at that time (some families only had access to certain material). With that being said, the wide range of materials proves that a wide range of people were depicting possibly the same entity, no matter the social class or experience of the artist themselves. The sculptures also seem to be around the same size, ranging from 16-9 cm. This shows that they were accustomed to only making smaller sculptures, or they didn’t have enough material to make larger sculptures. Or, another possibility is that large sculptures may not have survived.

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.

Here, two elite warriors riding their war chariots are seen engaging each other in an archery duel. The body of the chariot on the left, being damaged, cannot be seen but its wheel and horses are visible. The chariot on the right is mostly intact. The use of chariots in battle had declined by this period and it is extremely unlikely that the Gupta army used them. This is thus a sculptural representation of how the Gupta artists imagined chariot warfare to have been in the preceding periods of history, particularly in the Epic period where they were much valued.

Title A name given to the resource Chlorite pendant in the form of the head of an African (known as Ethiopian) Subject The topic of the resource Africans in Ancient Greek Art Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/243889">The Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 9th-8th Century B.C. Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Saja Osman Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Public Domain. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Used here for educational purposes only. 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.
