8th century, Poland
Wawel Royal Castle – National Art Collection

A Hussar szyszak was a type of helmet commonly used by the troops of the Polish Hussars, similar to the pappenheimers used in Western Europe. Usually, it was decorated similarly to the Hussar armour – with trimmings and appliqué motifs of brass stamped with geometrical ornaments. There were a few variants of this helmet: with a tip on the top, a high crest, or fan-like wings on the skull (the latter was popular in the 1st half of the 18th century, during the Saxon’s reign).

Hussar helmet

The cope was sewn from red silk damask of the bizarre style (currently it is pale pink), brocaded with silk and gold threads. The fabric is decorated with plant motifs. On the right side of the belt, the Szembek coat of arms features an appliqué of flat multicoloured silk and silver thread embroidery. The coat of arms is placed inside a cartouche, under a princely mitre with the patriarchal cross on top.
The cope is the surviving part of a red liturgical vestment set. It was mentioned as a set with “Szembek coats of arms” in an inventory dated 1763. The founder of this set could have been Stanisław Szembek (1650–1721) – bishop of Włocławek, archbishop of Gniezno, the Primate of Poland, the abbot of Tyniec over the years 1709–1721 – or Krzysztof Antoni Szembek (1667–1748) – also a Primate and the abbot of Tyniec over the years 1739–1743.

**Material:** Ceramic

**Dimensions:** 8 × 6,1 × 3,3 cm

Appliqué with red paint in the form of a Silenus head. The head of an old, bearded man with a button nose and round, protruding eyes looks straight ahead. The mouth is slightly open and depicted with thick lips. On the plastically rendered hair at the forehead, he probably wears a stylized wreath. A full beard frames the round face and is braided into thick plaits. On the reverse, the ridges of the vessel wall are still visible. The appliqué comes from a vessel that was probably used in Dionysian festivities.

Urn wiht representation of the Solar Deity

Cylindrical ceramic urn. The central motif is a feline head, probably that of a jaguar, crafted using modeling and appliqué techniques. Its open eyes, with rod-shaped irises, evoke its supernatural nature. Slightly parted jaws reveal prominent teeth and fangs, while rounded ears reinforce its feline identity. In Maya cosmology, the jaguar is closely associated with power, the night, and the underworld. On either side of the head, four vertical columns of conical spikes are arranged, resembling the thorns of a young ceiba trunk. The ceiba (Ceiba pentandra) represents the World Tree, planted at the center of the earth and connecting the three levels of the universe.
