Bacchanal of Satyrs and Cupids, Gerard van Opstal, c. 1635 - c. 1642
The Brussels sculptor Gerard van Opstal created a stir at the French court in Paris with his small-scale ivory reliefs in the Flemish Baroque style of Rubens. Here, this finds expression in the chubby bodies of the putti and the plump proportions of the pair of satyrs.

Avalokiteshvara, anonymous, c. 750 - c. 900
This statue is one of a series of large, bronze Buddhist images found in northeast Thailand. Avalokiteshvara is recognizable by his hairstyle, a tower of curls in which a figure of the Buddha Amitabha is seen meditating. This statue has recently been cleaned and restored to reveal the original patina. Its silvery appearance is due to the high tin content of the bronze.

Triton Blowing a Conch Shell, Adriaen de Vries, c. 1615 - c. 1617
This triton, a sea creature in the retinue of the god Neptune, is one of sixteen sculptures that together once formed part of a monumental fountain. The huge complex stood in front of Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark, but in 1659 Swedish soldiers took the statues as war booty to Stockholm. The triton originally perched on the edge of a basin, and water spouted from the shell he is blowing.
