Jaguar effigy jar
This vessel was made approximately 800 years ago, in the country we now call Costa Rica, where it would have been used for drinks during special occasions and ceremonies.
Soldier
This sculpture was placed in an ancient underground grave in China in order to protect the person who had died. Objects like this are known as mingqi and are usually made out of clay.
White-ground lekythos
This tall jug is from ancient Greece, and was used to hold oil, usually made from olives. Why do you think they created such a beautiful container to hold this oil?
Lock and latch
This wooden lock was created out of the hard and durable wood of the toro tree by a blacksmith from the Dogon culture in Mali, a country on the west coast of Africa.
