About The Ringling 16 Upcoming Saturdays for Educators 16 Image Credits 16 ASIAN ART AT THE RINGLING From its inception in the 1920s, The Ringling’s Asian art collection has expanded greatly over the decades. While John Ringling’s passion for collecting art was centered on the European Baroque period, he also purchased a number of large stone objects from India, forming the basis of his Asian art collection and providing the impetus for the Museum to continue collecting art objects from Asia to this day. Subsequent significant gifts and purchases have greatly augmented the collection, and today it encompasses diverse objects from a broad range of Asian cultures. These include stone Buddhist sculpture from Gandhara, a crossroads of the ancient world’s Silk Road; Chinese ceramics from all periods of China’s history; Japanese woodblock prints, both traditional ukiyo-e as well as twentieth-century specimens; Vietnamese, Thai and Korean ceramics; and decorative objects representing Turkomen tribes and other cultural groups.

  • Terracotta Figurines in the Walker Art Building
    TERRACOTTA FIGURINES IN THE WALKER ART BUILDING by Kevin Herbert, Ph.D. BOWDOIN COLLEGE BULLETIN BOWDOIN COLLEGE BULLETIN Brunswick, Maine December, 1939 Number 535 This Bulletin is published annually by the College in September, De- cember, March, and June. Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office in Brunswick, Maine, under the Act of Congress of July 16, 1894. TERRACOTTA FIGURINES IN THE WALKER ART BUILDING Kevin Herbert, Ph.D. Department of Classics Bowdoin College BOWDOIN COLLEGE Brunswick, Maine, I960 Printed by the Brunswick Publishing Co., Brunswick, Maine Preface The second section of this study originally appeared in the De- cember 1959 issue of The Classical Journal, Volume 55, pp. 98- 110, under the title "Terracotta Figurines at Bowdoin College." I wish, therefore, to express my thanks to the Editor, Professor Norman T. Pratt, Jr., of Indiana University, for his kind per- mission to reprint it on this occasion. Since information on the origins and the content of the Classical Collections in that ar- ticle was necessarily restricted to a brief note, I thought it es- pecially fitting that a more detailed description of their history be presented herein, and so the first section has been added to the original. I also desire to express my appreciation to my friend. Dr. Cornelius C. Vermeule, Curator of Classical Art in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, who read and criticized the manuscript of the second section, and to Mr. Stephen Merrill of Brunswick, who is responsible for the excellent photographic work which accompanies this study. Finally, thanks are due to my colleagues.

  • Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1
    Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Reading Matthew G. Fittock December 2017 Declaration I certify that this is my own work and that use of material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged in the text. I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.

  • Chinese Funerary Ceramics
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resources Chinese Funerary Ceramics Large Painted Jar (hu) China Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) Earthenware with pigment 15 3/16 x 11 1/8 in. Harn Museum Collection, 1996.23, Museum purchase, gift of Dr. and Mrs. David A. Cofrin Ceramics have been an integral part of Chinese culture throughout its history. How they were fashioned, decorated and used reflected functional needs, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. High quality ceramic vessels were created as early as the Neolithic period. By the time of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.E. - 220 C.E.), ceramics took many forms, from various types of vessels to figurative work. Surface decoration could take the form of relief, incision, painting, or glazing. Vessels were wheel- thrown, indicating high technical achievement. Many ceramic forms, it seems evident, were modeled on costlier metal prototypes. While ceramics undoubtedly served utilitarian functions, they were also used as funerary objects. During the Han dynasty, the Chinese often buried their dead with objects they would need in the afterlife. This ceramic jar was made for that purpose. Its painted design is intended to resemble lacquer, an extremely valuable material that was considered a sign of high status. Because it was prohibitively expensive for most families to bury the dead with actual lacquer vessels, ceramic replicas were used instead as a way of conserving financial resources for the living. The form and decoration of this jar are perfectly balanced. The painted decoration is intricate and expertly applied. The major theme, seen in the central band, is that of a dragon and a phoenix.

  • The Reception of Chinese and Japanese Porcelain in Europe
    The Reception of Chinese and Japanese Porcelain in Europe Rose Kerr Introduction In the last twenty years, a great deal of new work has been done on the trade in porcelain between China, Japan and Europe. The extent of research activity is revealed by the impressive six-page, double column, and bibliography in the catalogue which accompanied an exhibition at the British Museum in London from July to November, 1990.1 This exhibition, entitled "Porcelain for Palaces", looked at one aspect of the trade, namely the fashion for Japan in Europe in the period 1650-1750. It was only one of many recent projects undertaken in Europe, America and Japan to consider the East-West trade in ceramics during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Indeed, the only country to show scant interest has been China herself.2 Most useful study has been carried out in the West and in Japan, through archaeological an1 archival work: exploratory trips to the Chinese mainland have reveale1 li1.tle of interest.3 This paper will attempt to sketch a few new details upon this expansive background. Its first subject will be a very brief overview of European trade in the East during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries1 the second part will deal with bulk exports or tableware; while the third will examine the types of Chinese and Japanese porcelain used for luxury display in European palaces and great houses. European Trade in the East in the seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Export porcelains make an attractive item for study because they are beautiful, and because they survive complete or as sherds.

  • Female Terracotta Figurines of the Hellenistic Period Found in the Macedonian Region of Bottiaea
    Female Terracottas along with deceased Macedonian Women: Female Terracotta Figurines of the Hellenistic Period found in the Macedonian Region of Bottiaea Eleni D. Palla SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia July 2018 Thessaloniki, Greece 1 Student name: Palla Eleni SID: 2204160010 Supervisor: Prof. E. Voutiras I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. July 2018 Thessaloniki, Greece 2 Abstract: The hundreds of female figurative terracottas, that have been brought to light at the ancient Macedonian geographical region of Bottiaea, and which date back to the Hellenistic period, provide us with excellent information about their typology, usage, diffusion, and meaning. In the present paper, attention will be paid to the coroplastic workshops of the Macedonian cities, that are differentiated from one another by local particularities but also have a lot in common. The established affinities of the terracotta figurines produced by the large terracotta workshops in Pella and Beroia, the two most important cities of Bottiaea in producing clay figurines, reveal the popularity of certain iconographic types and their variants. The main iconographic types were formed in other regions of the Mediterranean, and from there they spread to local coroplastic centers of Macedonia, mainly through mold trade. For this essay, I will refer to small-scale terracotta figurines. My dissertation’s goal is a comparative study of the produced iconographic types in Bottiaea.
