alb9531190 Wearing a snow-leopard skin draped over his shoulders, Sadashiva sits with the goddess on a mauve-petalled lotus floating against an orange-colored ground. Dominating the composition, his large, ash-white body captures the focus of the viewer's attention as well as that of the goddess, whose gaze is fervid and alert. The five-headed deity has eight arms that hold (clockwise from the top right) a drum, snake, noose, bell, axe, grain sheath, trident, and sword. Date: ca. 1690.

alb3623722 Presentation Sword and Scabbard of Brigadier General Daniel Davis (1777-1814) of the New York Militia. Culture: American, New York. Dimensions: L. 37 1/4 in. (94.6 cm). Silversmith: John Targee (American, ca. 1774-1850). Date: ca. 1815-17.Following the War of 1812, the State of New York awarded twelve swords to military officers who commanded troops within its borders. This example was presented posthumously to Brigadier General Daniel Davis (1777-1814) of the New York Militia, who died during an engagement at Fort Erie on September 17, 1814.The sword's design reflects the classical inspiration of the Federal period. The hilt, with its downturned shell, is based on French Empire models. The image of Hercules and the Nemean Lion, emblematic of strength and courage, is probably copied from an English engraving after a Classical gem or cameo. The eagle-headed pommel, on the other hand, is typically American, as is the style of engraving on the scabbard, illustrating the battle. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3665935 Congressional Presentation Sword and Scabbard of Major General John E. Wool (1784-1869). Culture: American, probably Baltimore. Dimensions: L. with scabbard 39 3/16 in. (99.6 cm); L. without scabbard 38 13/16 in. (98.5 cm); L. of blade 31 7/16 in. (79.9 cm); W. 5 5/8 in. (14.3 cm). Sword cutler: Samuel Jackson (American, Baltimore, active 1833-70). Date: 1854-55.This sword was awarded by the United States Congress to General Wool in 1854 in belated recognition of his pivotal role in the American victory at Buena Vista (February 1847) during the Mexican War. The massive gold hilt incorporates the American eagle as the pommel, an ear of corn for the grip, and a cactus branch entwined with snakes (for Mexico) as the cross-guard. The sword's elegant proportions, novel design, sculptural conception, and superb finish make it an outstanding example of mid-nineteenth-century silversmithing. As the blade is by a Baltimore cutler, Samuel Jackson, the hilt and scabbard may be the work of a Baltimore silversmith not yet identified. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3606544 Mohammed and the Monk Sergius. Artist: Lucas van Leyden (Netherlandish, Leiden ca. 1494-1533 Leiden). Dimensions: sheet: 11 1/4 x 8 7/16 in. (28.6 x 21.5 cm) (trimmed to plate line). Date: 1508.The subject of this print is a rarely illustrated episode from the popular medieval book The Travels of Sir John Mandeville. One night, while Mohammed, the monk's student, was asleep, his men killed the hermit with Mohammed's own sword and put it back into its sheath. As Mohammed awoke, they persuaded him that he was the killer. Master storyteller Lucas van Leyden takes great delight in describing every detail, from the Mohammed's distinctive clothing to individual leaves on the tree in the middle ground and further to the castles in the background.

alb3656665 Sword (Rudus) and Scabbard. Culture: Malaysian, Kampung Payang and Sumatran, Aceh. Dimensions: L. with scabbard 33 1/8 in. (84.1 cm); L. without scabbard 31 1/4 in. (79.4 cm); W. 5 5/16 in. (13.5 cm); Wt. 1 lb. 8 oz. (683.2 g); Wt. of scabbard 12.5 oz. (354.4 g). Inlayer: Muhammad Salih of Terumon (Malaysian, active Kampung Payang, ca. 1835). Date: dated 1835.The sword is exceptional for the gold decoration inlaid on its blade, which includes a date and an inscription identifying the artist as "Muhammad Salih of the state of Terumon... in the village of Payung." While the place names appear to refer to Peninsular Malaysia, the form of the hilt, blade, and scabbard are distinctive to a region of northern Sumatra inhabited by the Aceh and Pakpak peoples. These elements suggest that the sword was made in Sumatra and then decorated in neighboring Malaysia. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3634989 Dagger (Khanjar) with Sheath. Culture: Indian, possibly Lucknow. Dimensions: H. with sheath 14 1/2 in. (36.8 cm); H. without sheath 13 5/8 in. (34.6 cm); W. 3 5/8 in. (9.2 cm); Wt. 12.3 oz. (348.7 g); Wt. of sheath 0.9 oz. (25.5 g). Date: late 18th century.The hilt of this dagger has been attributed to the court workshops patronized by the nawab of Oudh at Lucknow, in northern India, in about 1785. Its form and decoration, however, were traditional in many courts in Mughal and Deccani states in the eighteenth century. The pale green nephrite jade hilt inlaid with rubies and emeralds is noteworthy for its delicacy and restraint. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3603689 Dress Sword. Culture: American. Dimensions: L. 32 in. (81.3 cm). Maker: Handle by John Bailey (American, active New York, 1736-1815); Blade by Andrea Ferara (born 1530). Date: 1775-90. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3634878 Thanksgiving Day in the Army - After Dinner: The Wish-Bone - Drawn by Winslow Homer (Harper's Weekly, Vol. VIII). Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensions: image: 9 1/4 x 13 7/8 in. (23.5 x 35.2 cm)sheet: 10 7/16 x 16 1/8 in. (26.5 x 41 cm). Publisher: Harper's Weekly (American, 1857-1916). Date: December 3, 1864.Homer's image of Union soldiers breaking a wishbone in camp after a Thanksgiving meal in 1864 conveys the hope that the Civil War might be drawing to a close. Indeed, within four months the Confederate capital of Richmond would fall and General Robert E. Lee would surrender. Superficially naturalistic, the scene is filled with objects that can be read symbolically: war drums are stacked peaceably in the background, and soldiers rest, smoke, and play, the only visible weapon a sheathed sword. The centrality of a simple game associated with a shared family feast suggests where the soldier's thoughts are focused. By this date Homer was devoting himself primarily to painting, and the solemn, monumental figures here reflect his compositions in oil. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
