Dorje Legpa Votive Plaque

Artist

Artist Unknown, Tibet or Nepal

Physical Description

A bas-relief carving made of bone and in the shape of a lotus petal, depicting Pehar, a guardian of the Tibetan Buddhist faith, in wrathful form. At the base of the "petal" are the tops of mountains, with the waves of the sea visible between them; in the rounded part of the "petal," a border of flames encircles a dynamic image of Pehar, his garments flowing in the wind as he rides on a snow lion. The background behind Pehar is incised with closely spaced wavy lines, again suggesting flames.

The Arrival of Grandfather and Grandmother

Artist

Anton Heinrich Dieffenbach

Physical Description

A painting of a rural, rather secluded homestead. The property is surrounded by woods. There is a woman who is pulling water from a well and child awaiting the arrival of her grandparents. The elder couple has just arrived onto the property of their family, still standing at the threshold of the forest path and the grounds of the home, and are greeted by a small dog. To the right is a simple barn with a thatched roof where a horse and presumably other animals are kept. The yard is full of activity - a group of chicken and a rooster pick at food from the ground while nearby a chicken looks after a group of chicks. To the right of the scene, between the edge of the house and the well are a few duks looking around.

Albrecht Dürer

Physical Description

A crowd of men, rendered as a dense mass of bodies and faces that bristles with pikes and spears, gather before a porch attached to an ornately decorated stone building. A bearded man, wearing rich dress and a turban leans over the balustrade of the porch toward the crowd with his arms outstretched and his hands open as he turns his head to look at the man standing beside him. This sorrowful figure wears only a crown of thorns and a long robe that is partly opened by the man standing behind him to reveal his lean body flecked with drops of sweat or blood.

Artist

Franz Edmund Weirotter

Physical Description

Left edge displays small tears, indicating former binding.

TOP IMAGE. A river tapers from the bottom edge to the right. In the right bottom corner a row boat is steered by a man standing with a pole, while a passenger sits astern. A thatched-roof structure, possibly multiple structures, dominates the left-hand side of the composition, while a windmill - identifying the scene as taking place in Holland - appears in the bottom right distance. Other structures line the left riverbank in the right corner, perhaps denoting a village. Boulders fill the bottom left.

BOTTOM IMAGE. A river fills the bottom right corner, along whose banks two or three travelers - one standing, one sitting, a third possibly lying down - rest with their gear. Boulders fill the bottom left, covered with scraggly vegetation. The largest boulder is topped by a nearly dead tree, while to the distant left another boulder is topped with another pair of travelers, one figure standing and pointing with walking stick, a second at his feet.
