HWW Pebbles Beach Muscat Oman 3rd December 2011

nobody@ipernity.com (Loose_Grip/Pete) — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 13:15:39 +0000

About 2 hours drive south of Muscat is this beautiful deserted beach - at least it was at this time - on the northeast coast of the Gulf of Oman.

You have to look for it but there is a white wall at the end of the beach!

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

Title: Perfume Vessel in the Shape of Two Trussed Ducks

Period: Late Second Intermediate Period

Dynasty: Dynasty 17

Date: ca. 1580–1550 B.C.

Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Tomb near the Ramesseum (?), Mond excavations (?), 1902–1925

Medium: Anhydrite, eyes inlaid with a porous material inside copper rims

Dimensions: H. 17.1 × W. 15.4 × D. 9.3 cm (6 3/4 × 6 1/16 × 3 11/16 in.)

Credit Line: Gift of Edward S. Harkness, 1927

Object Number: 27.9.1

Curatorial Department: Egyptian Art

The flask - delicately carved from the rare stone material anhydrite - has the form of a pair of trussed ducklings placed back-to-back. Their necks arch far from the bodies and the joints of their legs make four little knuckles for the vessel to stad on. The birds' eyes are inlaid with copper. Trussed duck were a common offering to the dead. It is, therefore, possible that this vessel, although originally without doubt containing a cosmetic substance, was made for the tomb and not to be used in daily life. Vessels of this material were formerly thought to be of Middle Kingdom date. More recent studies have shown that they should be placed into the late Second Intermediate Period.

Detail of a Portrait of a Woman by Pollaiuolo in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2011

Title: Portrait of a Woman

Artist: Piero del Pollaiuolo (Piero di Jacopo Benci) (Italian, Florence 1441/42–1485/96 Rome)

Date: ca. 1480

Medium: Tempera on wood

Dimensions: 19 1/4 x 13 7/8 in. (48.9 x 35.2 cm)

Classification: Paintings

Credit Line: Bequest of Edward S. Harkness, 1940

Object Number: 50.135.3

Curatorial Department: European Paintings

Portraits of young women were often made to commemorate their marriages. The profile format was popular for this genre, as it highlighted the beauty of the woman’s features while also keeping her gaze chastely averted from the viewer. Piero and his brother Antonio del Pollaiuolo produced some of the most distinguished portraits of women in fifteenth-century Florence.

The meticulously rendered dress and jewelry of this sitter suggest Piero’s interest in Flemish art and his appreciation of the craft of goldsmithing, which he and his brother also specialized in.

Title: Gardanne

Artist: Paul Cézanne (French, Aix-en-Provence 1839–1906 Aix-en-Provence)

Date: 1885–86

Medium: Oil on canvas

Dimensions: 31 1/2 x 25 1/4 in. (80 x 64.1 cm)

Classification: Paintings

Credit Line: Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Franz H. Hirschland, 1957

Object Number: 57.181

Curatorial Department: European Paintings

This is one of three views of Gardanne, a hill town near Aix-en-Provence where Cézanne worked from the summer of 1885 through the spring of 1886. The steeple of the local church crowns the cluster of red-roofed buildings which animate the sloping terrain. Faceted and geometric, the structures anticipate early-twentieth-century Cubism.

Title: Fragmentary Head of a King

Period: New Kingdom

Dynasty: Dynasty 18

Reign: reign of Thutmose IV

Date: ca. 1396–1386 BCE

Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes

Medium: Jasper

Dimensions: fragments combined: H. 13.8 × W. 11.3 × D. 4.4 cm (5 7/16 × 4 7/16 × 1 3/4 in.)

Credit Line: Purchase, Edward S. Harkness Gift, 1926
Rogers Fund, by exchange, 1993

Lent by Musée du Louvre
Object Number: 26.7.1398a

Curatorial Department: Egyptian Art

For many years the fragments of this face were dispersed in various collections, but in 1993 it became possible to reunite the pieces through an exchange with the Petrie Museum, London (the cheek, 1993.27a, b), and a long-term loan from the Musée du Louvre, Paris (the eye, L.1993.21a, b). Part of a red jasper thumb in the collection (26.7.1398b) probably belonged to the same statue.

The original statue was probably what we call a "composite statue" in which the face and other areas of exposed flesh (the hands and feet) were carved from jasper and rest of the statue was carved from Egyptian alabaster, limestone, or wood. Although such statues most frequently come from the the reign of Akhenaten in the Amarna period (ca. 1353-1336 B.C.), this work has been dated to the reign of Akhenaten's grandfather, Thutmose IV, on stylistic grounds.
