Translated Sumerian Clay Foundation Cone - Ishme Dagan: Ancient Near East, Sumer, reign of Ishme-Dagan of Isin, ca. 1953 to 1935 BCE. A hand-built clay foundation cone with a tapered conical body, a rounded tip, and a flat head. The smooth surfaces of the cone are inscribed with fourteen lines - seven on top and seven below - that are formed by impressing a sharpened reed or stick into the still-wet clay just before undergoing the firing process. When translated this cone reads, "Ishme-Dagan, mighty man, King of Isin, King of the Four Quarters (of the world) when he exempted the tribute obligations of Nippur, the city beloved by Enlil, and took its populace away from forced labor, he built the wall of Isin, naming it 'Ishme-Dagan, ' with Enlil, the might of the great god. '" Size: 4" L x 1. 75" W (10. 2 cm x 4. 4 cm). . Clay nails like this are also referred to as dedication pegs or funerary pegs; they were inscribed, baked, and stuck into walls made of mud-brick to mark ownership either by a god or a ruler. These dedications sometimes include stories or boasts about the rulers they describe, and are some of our earliest sources of written royal history. . Cuneiform script is one of the oldest known writing systems in the world, made using a reed as a stylus and scratching wedge-shaped marks onto clay tablets. Early cuneiform was pictographic, but in the 3rd millennium BCE it shifted to the more abstract form you see here. These cuneiform objects are some of the roughly 2 million known from this culture; of these, between 30, 000 and 100, 000 have been translated. The earliest translations came in 1836 from the work of French scholar Eugene Burnouf and by the 1850s multiple scholars were able to produce similar translations, meaning the language had been deciphered. .

Attributed to Lorenzo Bartolini (Italian, 1777-1850), "Portrait Bust of Col. Arthur Peronneau Hayne (1788/90-1867)", early 1830s, white marble, unsigned, on original socle inscribed "A. P. HAYNE." in tinted letters on front tablet, height 28 in. (including socle), width 19 in., depth 10 in.; together with Thomas H. Benton, A Thirty Years' View:...the Working of the American Government, vol. 2 (New York, 1856), twice inscribed "A.P. Hayne" and dated "'59", also inscribed "Mitchell Jr., A.P. Hayne was your great-great grandfather. Love-Mother." $15000/25000 Note: The direct model for this highly important European sculpture of an early American statesman is a famous bust of "Emperor Alexander I of Russia," carved at Rome in 1821-22 by the most sought-after sculptor in Europe, Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). From that imperial prototype this bust exactly repeats the unusual arrangement of the drapery, and the identical wide bandolier across the nude chest; it even precisely replicates the position and function of the clasp at the top of the left shoulder. Certain telling variations introduced in the "Hayne" bust, however, clearly bespeak a different hand: the clasp is here flattened into a wafer-like profile, as it is in the Napoleonic commission of Lorenzo Bartolini's "Baciocchi" bust of 1809; and this more rounded compression of the arm truncations, coupled with a characteristic lengthening of the neck, produce an imposing verticality typical of Bartolini, the greatest Italian sculptor of the post-Canova generation. Above all, the "Hayne" bust and Bartolini's "Baciocchi" share the exceedingly rare idiosyncrasy of an incised, dark-tinted name inscription in large block capitals in the same position on the socle tablet, in which even the exact treatments of the letter-forms are precisely comparable. The highly dynamic handling of the hair, in this spirited portrait, is another unmistakable trademark of Bartolini's. The circumstances under which a private citizen of South Carolina was able to order a bust of this exalted quality have to do with Hayne's status as a popular hero of the War of 1812—above all his conspicuous valor at the Battle of New Orleans (1815)—and his resulting intimate friendship with Andrew Jackson. Hayne had retired from the Army in 1820 to farm and practice law, but was later drafted for the South Carolina legislature; he served as a delegate to the Electoral College confirming Jackson's presidency (1828), and was rewarded (27 April 1830) with an appointment as military attaché to the Mediterranean (very probably through the good offices of his compatriot John C. Calhoun, who as recent Secretary of War and as Jackson's Vice-President, was highly concerned with such postings). Hayne's five years abroad (through 1834 or early 1835) evidently offered him access, in Rome or Florence, to Bartolini's then-preeminent studio; in 1836 President Jackson offered him the ambassadorship to Brussels, but he preferred to remain in Charleston. In 1858 he was appointed for a few months to fill an unexpired term in the U. S. Senate, during which time a photographic portrait by Mathew Brady shows him a full quarter-century older than his striking Neo-Classical image in this splendid bust.
