• ANTIQUE MEDICAL ANATOMICAL HUMAN
  ANTIQUE MEDICAL ANATOMICAL HUMAN EYE MODELDESCRIPTION: Antique Medical Anatomical Human Eye Model made of papier-mache and glass. On the exterior of the eyeball is the cornea, through which the iris and pupil are visible, the large lacrimal (tear) gland, attachments for all six extrinsic muscles of the eye, the optic nerve roots, and surrounding blood vessels. The eyeball divides in half for study of the interior including the meticulously coat of the retina. Popularized in the 19th century by French physician Louis Thomas Jerôme Auzoux (1797-1880), papier-mâché anatomical models were used to supplement study of the human body. Without refrigeration, bodies quickly decay, compromising the condition of the parts and creating an unpleasant work experience. Papier-mâché models were used as surrogate specimens for teaching and reference. The eye is a particularly interesting example of a model because human and animal eyes are extremely difficult to preserve in their lifelike form. Eyes become milky, bleached, and misshapen in preservation fluid or in a dried state. A model is an ideal way to display the eye because the eye’s color and shape remain intact. CIRCA: Late 19th-Early 20th Century ORIGIN: USA DIMENSIONS: H:5 " W: 5" D: 5 1/2" CONDITION: Antique condition with chips on papier-mâché. See lot description for details on item condition.

• ANCIENT TELL BRAK POTTERY EYE
  ANCIENT TELL BRAK POTTERY EYE IDOLAncient Near East, Tell Brak, modern day Syria, Late Uruk Period, ca. 3300 to 3000 BCE. Hand-made from ceramic, this is one of the most famous classes of artifact from early Mesopotamia. It has a wide, bell-shaped body surmounted by two loops, forming "eyes." Eye idols were named in the 1930s by the British archaeologist Max Mallowan when he was excavating at the mound called Tell Brak and found hundreds of small anthropomorphic items of similar form to this one - some kind of simplified body topped by large discs for eyes and no other discernible facial features. He named the place where he found them the "Temple of the Eyes." Size: 4" W x 4.875" H (10.2 cm x 12.4 cm) More recently, items like this one have been found beyond the Temple of the Eyes, leading French archaeologist Catherine Breniquet to speculate that examples like this one could have also been used for separating wool while spinning. The object would have been placed in front of a seated person who used the holes to separate two or three strands and then twist them together. Artwork on cylinder seals from Uruk seems to support this hypothesis. Other scholars have suggested they might have been lids for narrow jars or parts of a firedog. What do you think this mysterious object might have been? See a very similar example with its original shiny red paint still visible at the Louvre.

• 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. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 62.70.84. A slightly larger Mesopotamian eye inlay made completely of stone was sold for $35,000 at Christie's New York as lot 78 in the "Antiquities" auction of June 4th, 2008 (live auction 2007).
