Pitcher with Inlaid Figure and Willow Design, 1200s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Korean Art
Representations of the elite’s elegant gatherings also appear on craft art designs, particularly depictions of the four accomplishments celebrated as cultivated pastimes by the scholar-literati elite—that is, playing stringed instruments and chess, and practicing calligraphy and painting. The image on this rare Korean inlaid celadon of two figures sitting together under a tree is comparable to renderings featuring the accomplishment motif of playing chess, or baduk in Korean. Size: Diameter: 14.3 cm (5 5/8 in.); Overall: 20.4 cm (8 1/16 in.) Medium: celadon ware with inlaid white and black slip decoration

Monkey Aryballos, c. 580 BC, Cleveland Museum of Art: Greek and Roman Art
Perfume flasks in the form of a monkey are numerous, but few are as well made and preserved as this one. The flask was worn suspended from the wrist by a cord. Its owner would take it to the communal baths and anoint himself with its contents afterward. Such flasks have been found throughout the Mediterranean and Egypt, but this vessel was likely made at a Greek settlement on the west coast of Asia Minor. Size: Diameter of mouth: 2 cm (13/16 in.); Overall: 9 cm (3 9/16 in.); Diameter of base: 3.7 cm (1 7/16 in.) Medium: earthenware with slip decoration
