Ancient Greek Temple

Julia Revolute High Res

The church of Piovà Massaia, attributed to Benedetto Alfieri, is dedicated to Saints Peter and George and was built between 1749 and 1774 on the initiative of Count Ricci, on the site of the ancient church of San Michele in Monte Cornigliano.
The building has the typical baroque plan of an elongated Greek cross and an imposing octagonal dome covering the intersection of the arms of the cross.
The two-bay presbytery has a barrel vault and dome with an elliptical base and ends with a semicircular apse with a ribbed semi-vaulted vault.
The galleries have barrel vaults and have carved and painted wooden balustrades.
The façade has two superimposed orders and three bodies with three entrances a large circular window and a tympanum at the top.
The imposing bell tower, whose construction began in 1779, recalls the Juvarra examples of Superga and the Alfierian one of San Gaudenzio in Novara.
At the top of the bell tower is the lantern delimited by angular volutes and surmounted by a metal spire.

The sword is forged from iron, and has an iron scabbard. It is characterised by a hilt with remnants of wood, a small rivet, a spherical pommel with volute decorations, a crossguard featuring a roof-shaped metal plate with spiral volutes, and a rivet securing the plate. The scabbard has a  roof-shaped mouth. On the front are two connected decorative rivets with a gold sheet rivet, coral overlay, below that sheet metal with volutes and below that a triangular, openwork net ornament. Several circular elements can be seen on the sides. The back features a profiled bar, accompanied by a small triangular net ornament backed with gold sheet.

Sword with a scabbard

Plate with divergent walls and a flat base, decorated at the center with the image of a stylized deity bearing a shell and a monstrous head, associating the figure with the aquatic underworld. Surrounding the central image are several oval elements related to water, as well as red and black volutes. A decorative band, divided into two sections, encircles the interior wall: one section features black triangles, while the other displays stepped fret motifs and additional abstract elements. The piece was ritually "killed", with a intentional perforation at the center.

Bichrome Urn with Chaac Deity

Fragment of a hieroglyphic stairway from the archaeological site of La Amelia, depicting a figure in left profile holding, in the right hand, a mask of the god K’awil with jade earspools and volutes emerging from the forehead and the back of the head. This block may correspond to Block no. 8, according to studies of comparable blocks. Its origin is possibly the south side of the stairway platform located in front of the building known as the “Palace of the Hieroglyphic Stairway” (epigrapher Guido Krempel, personal communication, 2016).

Polychrome vase (black, red, and orange on a cream background) with slightly convergent walls and flat base. It features the Primary Standard Sequence framed in red. On the exterior wall, inclined decorative bands with circular elements and volutes appear against a black background, along with interlaced elements outlined in red, which have been interpreted as representations of “bones” (Nicholas Hellmuth, pers. comm.). NAA indicates the western portion of the Belize River Valley (Buenavista area) as the place of origin or manufacture; however, this is a style frequently associated with Pusilhá, Belize (Barbara Kerr, pers. comm.).

Vase with Primary Standard Sequence

Tetrapod bowl with divergent walls and a concave base. It features mammiform supports with perforations and rattle elements. The surface is decorated with two spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyii) modeled in relief, placed on opposite sides of the vessel, with arms and legs extended in an ascending posture, as if climbing the wall of the vessel. The ceramic is orange in color with Usulután-style decoration, but it was later covered with polychrome stucco (green, red, black, white, and yellow), a tradition that began at Kaminaljuyú during the Early Classic period. The stucco decoration displays geometric figures and volutes. The vessel and its original ceramic decoration date to the Late Preclassic period.

The relief depicted on the surrounding wall of the Calvary Church in Köszeg most likely represents a scene from Christ's Way of the Cross. At the center is Jesus Christ, recognizable by the halo around his head, in a posture of fatigue and quiet resignation. He is surrounded by several figures who can be interpreted as Roman soldiers or pursuers, driving him on or harassing him. The animated postures, the sometimes aggressive gestures, and the deeply cut folds of the garments lend the scene a strong dramatic tension and vividly illustrate the suffering of Christ. The richly curved Baroque frame with volutes and ornamental decoration highlights the depiction like a picture field and refers to its devotional function. In conjunction with the other reliefs arranged along the wall, the work is clearly to be understood as part of a closed-ended Way of the Cross on Calvary, which was intended for processions and personal meditation.

Kreuzwegrelief

Polychrome urn (orange, red, and white) with everted and dentate design rim, curved-divergent walls, convex base, pedestal support, and two vertical tabs on the sides. The wall is decorated with a anthropomorphic face occupying the entire front of the urn. It is painted red, with white almond-shaped eyes, a headdress composed of a phytomorphic design, and an open mouth showing the upper teeth. The volutes at the corners of the mouth suggest that the figure possibly represents the solar deity K’inich Ahaw.
