N.C. Art Museum– Part Five

This post could be called odds and ends…. of sorts.   Here first is some ancient glassware, including perfume bottles… and a mirror

And right around the corner is a collection of mostly small statues by the famous French sculptor, Rodin…

His most famous statue was Le Penser— the Thinker…. of which there were many renderings, and here’s a small one….

The one I found most evocative is the statue of Eve, trying to hide her shame….

And finally, there is a whole hall of Jewish religious artifacts and art…..

That’s the ten commandments in wood, from a synagogue.

Like high priests’ breastplates.   Below a shofar, Torah,  and more….

A Passover plate, tefillin box and more….

And a magnificent bronze artifact that I imagine hung in front of the scriptorium where the Torah was kept.
