Brooklyn Museum continued

K, in continuation from yesterday's post, here's some more pictars from the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Also, I'm going to go back and add better captions/labels to the previous post.
Enjoy

China


Monumental Bowl, 16th Century


Wine Ewer, 16th Century


Ancient Egypt!




Portion of Historical Text, papyrus, 1800 BCE


HIPPO circa 1900 BCE


Ritual Knife, elephant ivory and flint, 3300 BCE


Cosmetic container in the shape of a gazelle, 1400 BCE


Chair, 1400 BCE


Human Headed Genie Sprinkling Pollen on a Sacred Tree, 800 BCE


Eagle Headed Genie Between Two Sacred Trees, 800 BCE


Female Figure, 5000! BCE


Erotic Compostion, 300 BCE
This was kind of surprising, but in a good way. The description makes note of how current scholars vehemently deny that ancient cultures, especially Egyptian, ever made erotic artwork. HA!


Coffin for Ibis, 300 BCE


Mummy of Thothirdes, 600 BCE


Young Crocodile Mummy, 100 CE


Canopic Chest. This is where internal organs are stored after the body is mummified.

Whew! So that's that.
Quite a busy Saturday. I am running quite a ways behind on updating this but I don't wanna cut out too many good pictures. So bear with me.
Oh wait, there's more...

After that we went by Caitlin's work place, got free margaritas (WOOT) and a much needed quesadilla, and then went to this tiny German sausage and stick fries place.
While we were there a bunch of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles gathered down the street.


Also, FYI, if you wanna look at any of the pictures a little closer you can open them in another tab and remove the "l" right before the .jpg This will ebiggenate it quite a bit
