Chess Piece, King. 13th–14th century; attributed to Egypt or Syria.
‘This marvered glass piece exemplifies the classic Islamic design of a king. This may originally have been in the shape of a human figure seated on a throne, but such a design was abstracted early on into this shape, with its distinctive double-humped profile. Kings of a similar form were produced in Iran perhaps as early as the 9th century.'

Sundial of Ahaz, leaf from the Postilla Litteralis (Literal Commentary) of Nicholas of Lyra ca. 1360–1380
“The leaf comes from the landmark study of Nicholas of Lyra (1270-1349), Master of Theology of the University of Paris, which provided commentary on every book of the Bible. The story here, found in both Isaiah (38:1-8) and 2 Kings (20:1-11), recounts God’s willingness to turn the shadow of the sun back 10 degrees—approximately one hour--as a sign to the Judean King Hezekiah.” [Metropolitan Museum]
