• MESOPOTAMIAN LAPIS LAZULI, STONE, &
  MESOPOTAMIAN LAPIS LAZULI, STONE, & BONE EYESAncient Near East, Mesopotamia, ca. 2900 to 2250 BCE. A haunting pair of eyes boasting white sclerae hand-carved from the bone of an ungulate with inlays of black stone pegs forming the pupils. Each are encased on their sides and verso by a lapis lazuli stone of vibrant blue that has been hollowed out, forming eyelids. These would have been inlaid into a composite figure. As seeing was a major channel of communication with gods, eye inlays such as these may have been used in the composite figure of a worshipper to express the figure's admiration for a god and accentuate the awe-inspiring nature of that god. Enlarged eyes were also a conventional means of warding off evil in Mesopotamia, known today as an apotropaic device. Size of eyes (both about the same): 1.3" L x 0.9" W x 1" H (3.3 cm x 2.3 cm x 2.5 cm); (case): 4.8" L x 2.5" W x 1.7" H (12.2 cm x 6.4 cm x 4.3 cm) Cf.

• RARE WWII JAPANESE NAVAL BINOCULARS
  RARE WWII JAPANESE NAVAL BINOCULARS "BIG EYES"East Asia, Japan, WWII era, ca. 1940s CE. A rare pair of powerful prismatic binoculars for scoping enemy ships or planes known as "big eyes," a style that was popular with the Japanese coast artillery and battleships. While the USA and Allied countries were focused on developing radar, the Japanese relied on optic lenses. During WWI German made glass was scarce, and Japan began to produce their own glass and optical technology, and between World Wars photographic lens manufacture took off and companies such as Fuji, Nikon, and Canon arose during this time. The Japanese navy equipped WWII ships with "big eye" binoculars for spotting both enemy ships and aircraft up to 20 miles away. Note the curved design of the eye piece which was more comfortable for scanning the skies over long periods. The binoculars from captured Japanese ships were often taken apart by Allied troops to attempt reverse engineering!
