The two forms of Art that I will be choosing will be: ÃÂOstraconÃÂ, from the Egyptian, 19-20 dynasties, with the time period of ca. 1295ÃÂ1069 B.C. The other piece of art that I will be discussing is ÃÂStanding BuddhaÃÂ, from China in the mid-fifth century, in the Northern Wei dynasty (386-534).
Ostracon:The Ostracon, made by the Egyptians from the 19-20 dynasty in the Ramesside Period, found in The Valley of the Kings near Western Thebes, was made on limestone with paint. The paint that was used was made with two basic colors, white and black. The white paint was used with crushed bone or crushed ivory. Black was made from the residue that the oil lamps made, that made a dark black and then, when the Egyptians roasted crushed ivory the color that was made was a brownish-black. In this picture an unknown king is hunting with his dog slaying a lion.
