A Necklace of four strands of beads and amulets - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 22.3.324 Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11, ca. 2051–2030 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Myt, Temple of Mentuhotep II, Pit 18, mummy of Myt, MMA excavations, 1921

Description:

This brightly colored set of necklaces belonging to a young girl are remarkable not only for their technically brilliant manufacture, the drilled stone beads being quite tiny.

Mayet was only five when she was buried among the older female members of the King Mentuhotep II’s court in his funerary complex at Deir el Bahri. Although her burial was simple, her necklaces, including two others of gold and carnelian ball beads, are some of the finest jewelry that survives from this period and the signs of wear on the beads indicate Mayet, or perhaps another woman, wore them during their lifetime.

The fragments of these statues 𓂙𓏏𓏭𓀾 “ḫnty” were discovered during several seasons of excavations by the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition. The statues were reassembled as much as possible in the field (see attached photographs). Fragments of the statues given to the Metropolitan Museum were reconstructed in New York by attaching them to metal armatures and filling in the gaps with plaster. Although the plaster has been tinted to blend with the stone, it is possible to distinguish the original stone fragments from the plaster fill.

Artist's Sketch of a Sparrow. Depicts a delicate sparrow perched on a slender branch.

The artist has captured the bird's essence with swift, flowing lines, showcasing its small, rounded body and distinctive beak.

The sparrow's feathers are suggested through light, feathery strokes, giving the impression of softness and movement in the breeze.

Its wings are subtly hinted at, slightly folded against its body, conveying a sense of calm and tranquility.

The eye, though simple in its design, exudes a sense of curiosity and liveliness, adding a spark to the otherwise understated sketch.

Overall, the artist has captured the essence of this small bird, portraying its beauty and grace through minimalist yet expressive lines.

Museum excavations, 1922-1923. Acquired in the division of finds, 1923.

Esboço artístico de um pardal. Retrata um delicado pardal empoleirado num galho delgado.

O artista capturou a essência do pássaro com linhas rápidas e fluidas, mostrando seu corpo pequeno e arredondado e seu bico distinto.

As penas do pardal são sugeridas através de pinceladas leves e plumadas, dando a impressão de suavidade e movimento na brisa.

Suas asas são sutilmente insinuadas, levemente dobradas contra o corpo, transmitindo uma sensação de calma e tranquilidade.

O olho, embora simples em seu design, exala uma sensação de curiosidade e vivacidade, adicionando uma faísca ao esboço discreto.

No geral, o artista capturou a essência deste pequeno pássaro, retratando a sua beleza e graça através de linhas minimalistas mas expressivas.

The Park, NV (No. 2)

T-Mobile Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Paradise, Nevada, United States. Opened on April 6, 2016, it is the home arena of the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). A joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), T-Mobile Arena is situated on the Las Vegas Strip behind the New York-New York and Park MGM casino hotels.

T-Mobile Arena has hosted various sports and entertainment events, with the latter including concerts, award shows, and beauty pageants. The arena has also hosted various combat sport events, including mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, and professional wrestling. MMA promoter Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) signed a long-term tenancy agreement with T-Mobile Arena in 2017, under which it agreed to host four events per-year over the next seven years.

The project broke ground on May 1, 2014, followed by the demolition of existing buildings, and excavation of an oval area for the arena. The final steel beam of the structure was placed on May 27, 2015.

In January 2016, T-Mobile US announced that it had acquired the naming rights to the new arena in a multi-year contract. The arena held its grand opening on April 6, 2016, with a concert by Las Vegas natives The Killers, Shamir and Wayne Newton. Country music artists Martina McBride and Cam performed at a soft opening on March 31, 2016.

In 2016, the National Hockey League awarded an expansion team to a Las Vegas ownership group led by Bill Foley, with T-Mobile Arena as its home venue.

Relief Fragment with Two Birds in the Papyrus Thicket

Period: Middle Kingdom

Dynasty: Dynasty 12

Reign: reign of Senwosret I or Amenemhat II

Date: ca. 1925–1900 B.C.

Geography: From Egypt, Memphite Region, Lisht North, Cemetery, MMA excavations, 1906–07

Medium: Limestone, paint

This exquisitely carved and delicately painted relief shows a gray heron and another bird, possibly a purple heron, perched within a mass of papyrus plants. In the upper right, the curved form with painted X-marks likely represents a nest that contained either baby birds or a mother sitting on eggs, both of which are common vignettes in marsh scenes. Originally part of a larger tableau, the small fragment is jewel-like in its fine detail.

Pair of Sandals - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 22.3.21a, b Second Intermediate Period–Early New Kingdom, Dynasty 17-18, ca. 1580–1479 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Unfinished Temple ("Seankhkare") Valley, Pit Tomb MMA 1008/1016 (Mond 8), MMA excavations, 1920–21

Description:

These sandals, along with a second, similar pair (22.3.20a), were found in the chamber of a pit tomb used ultimately for the burial of a 21st Dynasty (ca. 1100 B.C.) charioteer named Itamun (see 26.3.1a, b). They come, however, from an earlier burial that was pushed aside for the tomb's new occupant.

The soles of the sandals are formed of tightly woven papyrus in narrow rows, with three outer bands defining the shape. The thongs are made of thicker strips of flattened reeds.

A list of fic remixes I dream of convincing someone to write for me someday:

One Regret au in which Jerome agrees to go with Bruce on his tour of great masters across the globe

Something for Dress Your Idol in Gold and Ashes where Rung actually gets put through the wringer that Rodimus refused to participate in

Strangers in a Strange Land.... literally anything... Gon and Hisoka in Peru together?? more underground MMA stuff?? Running into each other around LA hotels?? I would take anything

I always kind of wanted a remix of Waculla Mystery Waters but I don’t even know how you’d remix that fic. Maybe focus on the spring where Gon’s team was excavating? Or the games Hisoka was playing?
