Shadow Representations
In South Korea, rap music has gained increasing popularity and entered the mainstream music industry. Most Koreans, however, interpret rap music beyond its beats. They see it as an African American art rooted in lowbrow American culture and racial subjugation to white society. Rap music in Korea is associated with people who are categorically deemed heug-in, those presumed to be descendants of African Americans or of African heritage. Historicall…

Khirbat Al Mafjar
Thuribles
During 1970 the Ashmolean Museum acquired at auction in London two Syriac-inscribed bronze censers of a now well-known but insufficiently studied type decorated with New Testament scenes in relief and with incised ornament on their plain surfaces. The following speculations about these objects are offered in admiration to Sir Max Mallowan, and as a reminder of bumpy but delightful journeys to certain ancient monasteries in the Mosul area where su…

An Unidentified Sculpture from Iraq
In 1942 the Ashmolean Museum acquired, by gift of the National Art Collections Fund, the small head of a young bull carved in stone, of which five views are given in Plate III. This object is numbered 1942.167 in the Accession Book of the Department of Antiquities, and it is exhibited in the Near Eastern Gallery. The head has been commonly described as “Sumerian”; but no one, as far as I know, has attempted to refine on that description or even t…

A Sumerian Cylinder Seal with Handle in the Ashmolean Museum
Plate XI illustrates a white magnesite cylinder seal, surmounted by a small recumbent ram in silver, which was acquired by the Ashmolean Museum at Sotheby's sale of the Ernest Brummer Collection on 16th and 17th of November, 1964.The cylinder is engraved with a continuous design in two registers, combining cattle with reed buildings. The ram is probably attached to the end of a copper spindle, or what remains of it, designed to rotate in a perfor…
A Silver Bowl in the Ashmolean Museum
The silver bowl which is illustrated in Plate I was acquired by the Ashmolean Museum in 1964. It was said to have been formerly in the possession of a dealer in Teheran, who bought it in Hamadan. The story is too stereotyped to have much archaeological significance. Nevertheless it may be true; for there is nothing surprising, as we shall see, in a vessel of this form and character being found in the ancient capital of the Medes.The bowl was desc…

The Decorated Bronze Strip from Gushchi
The interesting bronze “belt” or decorated strip in Urartian style which was discovered at Gushchi near Lake Urmia in 1905, and which has twice been illustrated in Anatolian Studies , is generally known only from the photograph of one small fragment which was first published in an obscure Armenian journal in 1912 and has since been successively reproduced by B. A. Kuftin in 1944, G. M. A. Hanfmann in 1956, and R. D. Barnett in 1963. At least four…
Carved Plaster in Umayyad Architecture
When al Mu‘awiyah in A.D. 661 became Caliph in Damascus, and founded there a line of rulers addicted by policy and temperament to architectural enterprise and reliant in many spheres on the talents and support of a Syrian population, the building trades of Syria, which had enjoyed but desultory employment since the busy years of Justinian, were quickened to a new and fecund term of life.Several buildings created in the ensuing century have surviv…

Neurosis and Industrial Civilisation
Man is a creature rooted in earth and drawing his breath from heaven. Apart from the truism that nature itself and every created thing comes from God, there is a sense in which we may make a legitimate distinction between the origins of man's bodily and spiritual parts, regarding the one as from nature, the other from God. This union and integration of the corporal and spiritual in one creature is man's unique distinction; and in most cases the n…
Note on Excavations at Bishop Gobat School 1933
“As the C.M.S. had decided to enlarge Bishop Gobat's School which was built at the south-west corner of ancient Jerusalem when extensive remains of a rock cut stack with traces of a tower were found years ago; the Principal, the Rev. A. Campbell MacInnes, communicated with the P.E.F. in order that provision should be made to make an Archaeological report on the results of digging the foundation for the new buildings. Through the kind offices of t…
An Aramaic Inscription on a Piece of Black painted Ware from Nineveh
While excavating at the side of the foundations of the Temple of Ishtar in some Parthian houses on Kouyunjik in 1930–1, we found a quantity of black-painted pottery, to all appearances of an early date, of the same kind as appeared in 1927 and 1929, when Mr. Hutchinson was in charge of the pottery. This painted ware, while reminiscent of the well-known ware from Susa and Babylonia, has a distinct type of its own, and we are still in doubt about i…
