This magnificent armour made [King Erik XIV](https://bit.ly/2XHLbZ0) of Sweden look imposingly triumphant. In true renaissance spirit, the motifs on the armour were borrowed from ancient myths, the characteristics of which lent themselves perfectly to the Swedish history and national symbols of that time.

The armour was probably made in [Arboga](https://bit.ly/2FQKrGy), Sweden, around 1562, from where it was sent to Antwerp in Belgium to be decorated by the goldsmith Elisaeus Libaerts. The opaque gilt ornamentation has been [repousséd](https://bit.ly/2xuxmy0) from the back and chased from the front. 

Perhaps the armour was worn by King Erik XIV on 2 October 1564 when, following a military campaign in [Blekinge](https://bit.ly/2KUVNNQ) in the South of Swedan, he returned to Stockholm with his military entourage. Whilst winding its way through the streets of Stockholm, the procession was showcasing chained prisoners of war from Denmark, a motif that can also be found on the armour.

Ankh-khonsu was a doorkeeper in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak. He inherited his position from his father Ankh-en-amun. His brightly painted coffin lid is covered with images of protective deities. Particularly prominent are winged scarab (dung) beetles, symbols of rebirth. One sits on Ankh-khonsu’s head and encircles his face with its wings. A second scarab covers his chest. Both scarabs hold a shen hieroglyph, symbol of eternity, with their hind legs in place of a dung ball. Offering spells including Ankhkhonsu’s name are written on the outside of his coffin. Traces of resins (now black) and water poured over it during his funeral are visible on the top and sides of the coffin.

A deck of French playing cards is the most common deck of playing cards used today. It includes thirteen ranks of each of the four French suits: clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), hearts (♥) and spades (♠), with reversible "court" or face cards. Each suit includes an ace, depicting a single symbol of its suit; a king, queen and jack, each depicted with a symbol of its suit; and ranks two through ten, with each card depicting that many symbols (pips) of its suit. Anywhere from one to six (most often two or three since the mid-20th century) jokers, often distinguishable with one being more colorful than the other, are added to commercial decks, as some card games require these extra cards.

Grimoire - Morphose

The shape of the foot of the monstrance is similar to an oval with concave-convex  profiling. The ornately decorated slope of the foot is divided into four fields with symbols of the Eucharist (grain ears and bunches of grapes), two heads of angels and the coat of arms of the abbey. Two Austrian (re-marking) hallmarks are present on the flange of the foot. The stem is shaped like a candelabrum, made of smooth rings and decorated with foliate motifs. The pear-shaped nodus is decorated with angel heads. It features a sunburst aureole consisting of bundles of conjoined rays of different lengths. Reservaculum has a trefoil shape and is enclosed in a frame with floral and cornice board decorations. The frame is studded with blue-turquoise stones (artificial gemstones made of coloured glass).

**Combination padlock**

A combination padlock, an armoured snuffbox, also called a letter-gate padlock, a trick padlock or an artificial padlock. In order to open it, one has to know the right code, which –  after setting the combination lock – enables one to uncover the keyhole. After this, the padlock can be opened with a key. The padlock was made in 1918, the year of the regaining of independence by Poland. Decorations in the form of national symbols, such as the crowned eagle, are typical of products of the post-WWI era.

The Passau Wolf is one of the most famous historical symbols of the city of St. Pölten and commemorates the city's centuries-long affiliation with the Diocese of Passau. The wolf sculpture visible today was erected between 1937 and 1938 and placed on Kardinal-Franz-König-Platz. It is part of a fountain and stands on a stele together with the city coat of arms, emphasizing its heraldic significance. The figure was created by Austrian sculptor Ferdinand Andri, while the architectural design of the fountain was created by architect Rudolf Wondracek.

The wolf is not there as a decorative animal motif, but as a deliberately chosen symbol of power and identity. The so-called Passau wolf is an ancient heraldic figure that originally comes from the coat of arms of the city and the bishopric of Passau and can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Since St. Pölten was under the secular and spiritual rule of the bishops of Passau for many centuries, this symbol was also incorporated into the city's coat of arms.

This Pictish Stone is dispayed in the Aberdeen University Library, Aberdeen, Scotland. This stone was uncovered in the 1970s on a narrow spit of land between the rivers Isla and Deveron, close to where another five carved stones have been found. The symbols on this one are particularly finely carved, being an eagle and a 'Pictish beast'. A small cairn of stones was also found, supporting the idea that this stone may have marked the burial of a powerful person in the 6th or 7th
centuries AD.

This is a Naruto-themed chessboard designed as a 3D concept piece. Instead of traditional chess visuals, the board uses symbols and markings inspired by the Naruto universe to give the game a new identity and style.

The black squares feature the Akatsuki crest, while the white squares are marked with symbols inspired by the Hidden Ninja Villages. The idea was to merge the strategy of chess with the world of Naruto in a simple but meaningful way.

This model was created as a visual concept and art piece, not for physical production. It’s meant for display, exploration, and appreciation of anime-inspired design.

This statuette depicts Ptah, the chief god of Egypt's capital city Memphis and master craftsman of the gods. He is easy to identify by his tight-fitting cap, straight beard (different from the usual curved divine beard on other gods), and enveloping mummiform garment. The garment has a shallow stiff upper edge along the back of the neck, a feature that occurs with some regularity also on Osiris statuettes, but its meaning is unclear. Commonly Ptah holds a scepter that combines the symbols for life (ankh), dominion (was), and stability (djed), but here he holds only the was scepter, hearkening back to earlier representations of the god. Ptah was a benevolent and approachable god, characteristics that may have inspired his devotees to dedicate numerous representations of him in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.

Period: Late Period–Ptolemaic Period
Date: 664–30 B.C.
Geography: From Egypt
Medium: Cupreous metal

This specialized 3D asset represents the command desk of a Republican Guard officer during the pivotal 1991 resistance period in Arabia. The dark wood desk is marked with the official state emblem and serves as a tactical and symbolic hub. Laid across the surface is a standard-issue Tabuk assault rifle and the Holy Quran, signaling the immediate transition from administration to active combat. Accompanying the weaponry are nationalistic symbols of the era, including the Iraqi flag and personal effects, capturing the tense atmosphere of the Iraq War period between the Gulf War and the early 2000s.

Rock 6 at Foppe di Nadro has a glacier-smoothed surface and, with around one thousand figures, is one of the most densely engraved rocks in this area.  The figures mostly date from the middle to late Iron Age.

It is possible to see all the classical themes of the Camunian rock cycle: footprints (single, coupled and some with internal decoration), human figures (warriors predominating), buildings, weapons, animals and a number of geometric symbols (such as the five-pointed star).

The small section of this rock surface represented in the 3D model presnts one of the most well-known scenes of Valcamonica rock art: two pairs of fighters.  These are of the Naturalistic Period (around 500-300 BC). The fighters are realistically represented in a dynamic posture. One couple fighting with short swords, shields and crested helms, the other engaged in a boxing match.

The group of figures below are in a simpler, more geometric form.  They look cruder but are later, around 1st century BC.
