Not only do we have The Two Marjories, but the list is blessed by the presence of The One Genevra -- thank you for this, and best wishes to you all,

Dear all,

    

    I know that many people will be busy with family, but for those
    taking a computer break-- I have just posted over 200 new images to
    my online archive (many taken last May, but delayed by complex
    indexing).

    

    Many of the objects are in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology in Ann
    Arbor. I have given that museum its own index page, with the
    material chronologically divided:

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/AnnArbor.html

    Most of the medieval material is of course in the "Byzantine and
    Islamic" section, including among other things a loaf of early
    Byzantine Eucharistic bread.

    Those of you interested, as I am, in the magical objects on Marjorie
    Burghart's new site (http://medievalartefacts.shutterfly.com)
    may want to look at the "pharaonic to Roman" page; rows 5 and 6 have
    incantation bowls and an inscribed egg shell apparently meant to
    break a curse.

    And the "1st to 4th/5th c." has a glass wine set, the bottle still
    holding its reed stopper (ever wonder what people used other than
    cork?) and a Bacchic sarcophagus with particularly nice centaurs.

    

    I have not yet posted much from the Fitzwilliam Museum, but I have
    updated the Cambridge location page with one object, a magical
    amulet related to the material mentioned above:

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/UCambridge.html

    

    Material from the Pushkin is gathered on the updated Russia location
    page:

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto/Russia.html

    The new images are mostly Byzantine textiles, and also include a
    mosaic panel from the oratory of John VII in St. Peter's.

    

    I have updated the Berlin location page

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/Berlin.html

    with more metalwork, and a pair of wooden arm reliquaries (cf.
    earlier discussion of a wooden reliquary).

    

    The page for Toledo (Ohio) now includes a 13th c. reliquary base and
    the Carolingian engraved crystal on it

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/ToledoMuseum.html

    

    And for those of you who teach introductory surveys or are for other
    reasons interested in earlier material, I have posted a number of
    objects in the BM and the Louvre requested by a colleague for her
    intro course. The easiest way to access these is through the links
    on the period/culture pages:

    http:///www.kornbluthPhoto.com/ANE1

    for the newly added Standard of Ur, a nicely complete Gudea figure,
    and the stele with the Code of Hammurabi; and

    http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/Greek1

    for many views of three of the metopes from the Parthenon.

    

    Best wishes for the holidays,

    Genevra
