Full textAbstract:
In this translation of a chapter from monograph “Latvian’s Home” (“Latvieša māja”, 2014), the author provides an insight into the decorations of wooden houses in Latvia, including incisions and ornamental wall decorations and she also differentiates architectural details like the so-called ‘sun posts’ and decorated boards on sides of a triangular opening in the hip under the roof. At the beginning of the paper the author refers to the fact that the ancient geometrical ornament has been more typical of Latvians, which has been preserved also during the time when East-European nations gradually took over the ornaments depicting plants and animals. The author approaches ornamentation as one complete entity and draws attention to the perceived visual rhythm in ornamentation. The individual signs of the ornament are combined either in pairs (statically) or in odd numbers (dynamically). The more modern ornamentation is made up of geometrical ornament with plant ornaments. The author gives an overview of more widely-used signs – slanting crosses, triangles, octagons, and the chalk marking 20+K+B+m+14 widespread in Catholic regions, etc.
Kursīte discusses one peculiar decorative element of the houses – the so-called ‘sun posts’, which in big rooms are just very practical (e.g. in houses of prayer), but which might have also carried some cosmic symbolism.
In buildings (mainly dwelling houses and storehouses), the doors and window jambs, wider battens/boards, and the wooden window shutters were decorated. Ornamental decorations were also used on the top of the boards decorating the triangular opening in the hip under the roof, which were carved like a bird’s or a horse’s head, or shaped like a horn, sometimes even under the collar beams. The decorations were directed outwards so they would be visible. The other kind of ornament (mostly single signs) was cut on house tenons/mitre (i.e. inside). This was not visible, but the ornament had to protect the foundation of the house and the building from hazards coming from the outside (evil ghosts, evil people, natural elements, etc.).
In conclusion it may be said that from a magical and a decorative point of view, ornamentation played an important role in the wooden architecture of Latvia.
In the short preface the themes highlighted by Kursīte are compared with the wooden architecture of Estonia; it is stated that there are similarities but one has to work hard to find them.

Shcheviova, Uliana. "Mural paintings in the decoration program of the residential buildings entrance spaces in Eastern Galicia at the end of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century." Bulletin of Lviv National Academy of Arts, no. 42 (December 27, 2019): 79–87. http://dx.doi.org/10.37131/2524-0943-2019-42-11.
Full textAbstract:
Background. Mural paintings occupy a special place in the ensemble decoration program of the residential buildings entrance spaces in Eastern Galicia at the end of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century. They are at the same level with decorative sculpture, exquisite staircase forging, ornamental floor decor, and polychrome stained glass. Not only do the decorative compositions in the entrance spaces mural paintings serve as a stylistic feature of decoration, but also are a component of owner's self-identification, testify to their aesthetic preferences and cultural level, demonstrate their material capacities. Practically all wealthy residential buildings and villas of the late XIXth – early XXth centuries contained murals as a necessary element of decoration. They were guided by the principle of uniqueness of each art piece. Preserved mural paintings are characterized by the high quality of execution, variety of scenes and color decisions. Many foreign and Ukrainian scholars look into the aesthetics of architecture and the interaction of the synthesis of arts in it: Y. Biryulov, T. Kazantseva, L. Polischuk, O. Silnyk, I. Zhuk, M. Studnytska and others. However, the authors do not analyze mural paintings of the residential buildings interior in Eastern Galicia, especially of the entrance spaces, which are a buffer zone between outside and inside of the building. Thus, at present, numerous design elements that are in the entrance spaces of residential buildings are at risk of extinction. That is why we need to stress the problem of preservation of the authentic artistic paintings within the program of lobbies and stairwells decoration in the residential buildings of Eastern Galicia at the end of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century. For this reason, our research is relevant and topical. The objectives of this article are to typologize artistic mural paintings in the decoration of the entrance spaces of residential buildings in Eastern Galicia at the end of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century according to the stylistic forms (neo-gothic, neo-renaissance, neo-baroque, neo-baroque, neo-rococo, in the empire style and modern) and to classify them into thematic (mythological and allegorical images) and ornamental compositions. Methods. The article uses a complex method of architectural-stylistic and art-study analysis, which covers traditional general scientific approaches to the solution of the tasks. Additionally, the method of field studies has been applied, through which we can obtain reliable information on the status of entrance spaces of living buildings in modern conditions. According to the results of the field studies, the mural paintings in the decoration of the entrance spaces of residential buildings in East Galicia of the late XIXth – first third of the XXth century have been analyzed. Types of paintings were typologies (neo-gothic, neo-renaissance, neo-baroque, neo-rococo, in the empire style and modern). The mural paintings are classified according to the motives (mythological and allegorical images) and ornamental compositions. The correlation between the adornment of ceilings and walls and other arts in the decoration of the entrance spaces of the Eastern Galician residential buildings at the end of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century has been traced. Conclusions. The architecture of each historical period is characterized by a certain color scheme. In the palette of paintings of the late XIXth – early XX centuries the pastel shades are dominant. They create a particularly elevated atmosphere in the interior of the entrance spaces due to the nuance of tone and color. The architectural and artistic themes on the facades of a building are often supported in the interior – entrance spaces. The stylish total ability of decoration does not interfere with their complex texture and color, which is used, all the elements highlight each other, transferring in the tonal emotionality of the system set by the paintings. Unfortunately, the number of mural paintings in the entrance spaces of residential buildings are often being fixed or non-professionally restored (like the mural paintings on 14 Kravchuk St. in Lviv). Because of these factors, the authentic colors fade away and their value significantly decreases. Moreover, mural paintings often crumble as time passes.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with a little-known mo- nument of Seljuk woodcarving — a door from an ancient Friday mosque (Jami-i Kebir) in Kayseri (Turkey). The carved door, exhibited now in the Ankara Museum of Ethnography, has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive publication. Therefore, this artifact belongs to the group of Anatolian Seljuk woodcarvings, made in the 12th — early 13th centuries, that have a special significance. As rare monuments of Islamic art of the pre-Mongol Middle East, they stood at the origins of the blooming of Anatolian Seljuk art that would occur some decades later.The door was ordered and installed during the Jami-i Kebir mosque renovation, carried out in the second reign of the Seljuk Sultan Giyseddin I Kayhosrov (1205—1211), on the instructions of one of his emirs — Muzaffar al-din Mahmud son of Yagy-Basan, a descendant of the Danishmendid dynasty. The article considers the door’s ornamental decoration, organized as a classic “mihrab” composition, in a set of technical and stylistic aspects. For a comparative analysis, the author inspects a wide range of woodcarvings of the 11th—13th centuries from Anatolia and Iran. The close resemblance of used techniques and decoration, as well as motifs, ornamental themes and epigraphy makes it possible to suggest that the cabinet maker Ibrahim son of Abu-Bakr al-Rumi, who left his signature on the Minbar of the Alaaddin Mosque in Ankara Fortress, could be the author of the magnificent carved door from Kayseri’ Jami-i Kebir.

ABSTRACT
The objectives of this study were describing about (1) background of I Nyoman Mandra’s students in drawing on painting skill of Kamasan puppet, (2) the steps which were done by I Nyoman Mandra in teaching about painting Kamasan puppet to his students, and (3) the painting results by I Nyoman Mandra’s students in learning about painting Kamasan puppet. The subject and object of this study was the painting result by I Nyoman Mandra as a reference for his children to learn and the process of lowering painting skill of Kamasan puppet. This study was descriptive qualitative research. The methods of data collection in this study were used (1) observation, (2) interview, (3) documentation, and (4) literature.
The result of this study showed that (1) it was the background for Mr. Mandra’s students to learn painting in his studio, not only because of economy factors and hobbies, but also the awareness of the importance of cultural preservation that has been declining for generations. (2) The lowering of painting skill in the Mr. Mandra’s studio was started with the understanding of themes to know the puppet’s characters, continued with the understanding of the shapes of the characters, such as eyes, nose, mouth, mustache, face, head ornament, ears, arms, legs, hands and legs ornaments, chest ornaments and another ornaments outside of the characters such as frame, decoration in room, rocks decoration, and trees decoration. Next was given the understanding of color placement. (3) The painting results from Kamasan puppet which were made by the students from Aprentisip system and inheritance system had similar level which was different with Mr. Mandra’s painting result where the painting of Kamasan puppet from his children were more closer to Mr. Mandra’s than Mr. Mandra’s students through Aprentisip system. Although the results were different, both systems gave benefits for learners such as developing sensitivity, training creativity, developing intelligence, perseverance, tolerance, and cooperation. On the other hand, it was fostering the appreciation of result of work skills and fostering talent and interest in painting Kamasan puppet.keyword : Puppet, Kamasan

Full textAbstract:
Belief, hope and loveThe symbolism of medieval ring broochesOrnaments and costume accessories have always been worn for decorative and functional reasons as well as for signalling status etc. However, they have also often been ascribed properties by virtue of their form and decoration – properties which would aid or protect the wearer. A belief in the inherent power of objects was a part of the world view during the Middle Ages. Medieval lapidaries contain descriptions of the properties or virtues that were ascribed to metals, precious and semi-precious stones and other geological materials. These properties constituted for example the ability to cure particular illnesses, impart spiritual insight, bring fortune in the matters of the heart and confer protection when travelling. In addition to the powers resident within the various materials, decoration has also played a major role. Inscriptions were common and were deemed very efficacious. Furthermore, shape, geometric figures and numerical symbolism could also have played a role which is, however, more difficult to decipher today.This article focuses on the ring brooches that were employed as costume accessories in Europe between the 12th and 15th centuries, and which were especially popular during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the High Middle Ages, in particular, three themes dominated the symbolism of the ornaments, i.e. religion, magic and love. The religious aspect saw expression in the form of inscriptions or images showing the worship of holy men and women (figs. 2-5). A second kind of symbolism is that which can be termed magical. This is most clearly seen as inscriptions in the form of anagrams or illegible words (fig. 6). It seems likely that materials such as metals or stone were attributed magical properties relative to ring brooches, but this is difficult to prove today (fig. 7). It is obvious to imagine that the actual form of the “ring” or frame of the brooches, for example as stars or quatrefoils, had a significance over and above the purely decorative (figs. 3 & 8). Especially so, when a comparison is made with brooches where the form of the frame has an undoubted romantic symbolism, which we readily recognise today (figs. 2a, 4, 10, 11). These symbols, i.e. hearts and clasped hands, together with a series of inscriptions, bear witness to the fact that ring brooches, on a par with finger rings, were used as tokens of love (fig. 1). The amorous inscriptions speak directly to us of relations between people (fig. 7). The romantic inscriptions of the French court, of which there is one Danish example, are especially refined (fig. 9).These three themes are not clearly delimited and often merge together. It seems likely that the mingling of, for example, religious and magical inscriptions took place with the intentional aim of creating a special or more powerful effect. Ring brooches with symbolic expression occur in a wide range of qualities, from valuable examples of gold and silver to mass-produced brooches of cheaper metal alloys (figs. 4 & 10). This demonstrates that the symbolism was familiar and widespread in a very broad social sense. The symbolism seen on ring brooches and other types of ornaments from the Middle Ages is, in many instances, a direct expression of feelings, belief and hope and constitutes a fascinating source relative the medieval secular world.Mette Højmark SøvsøSydvestjyske Museer

Full textAbstract:
In Siberia, ceramic tile manufacturing should be dated to the 1670s–1680s, when the stone building in To-bolsk commenced. The source base for studying the tile craft in Siberia is provided by archaeological investiga-tions on Russian settlements. This paper aims at the typology of plots and graphical reconstruction of the appear-ance and color scheme of a collection of repousse polychromic tiles acquired in the course of archaeological in-vestigations of the Governor’s Palace in Tobolsk. The collection is dated to the first half of the 18th century. Most of the tiles were fragmented and had signs of burning. The discovered tile fragments belong to the repousse poly-chromic type. We consider them to be the stove decoration sets due to the traces of smut and soot on the back side and by the presence of a box-shaped rump with some space from the edge. The rump has holes on the sides made to fix the tiles onto a stove with wire. The tiles from the Governor’s Palace can be subdivided as follows: 1) wall tiles of ‘small hand’ and ‘large hand’; 2) corner wall tiles; 3) corner wall halves; 4) flat banded tiles; 5) cor-ner flat bands; 6) roller-band; 7) cornice belt; 8) valances; 9) legs and 10) gorodki (product made of clay with variations in size used for decoration of brick furnaces). Twenty themes have been reconstructed from the pre-served fragments. The stoves with such facework belong to the Renaissance type. In the tile manufacture, opaque, dull enamels were used: blue; turquoise green; white and yellow, as well as translucent glaze producing a glossy brown color on red clay. The study of the tile drawings and ornaments revealed that most of them were borrowed from other centers of tile manufacturing. A large part of the drawings either has stylistic similarity or is an accurate copy of the drawings on the tiles manufactured in Moscow in the 1670s–1680s. The drawings on five tiles do not have records in the earlier published works, and therefore they may have local origins. The tile orna-ment is mainly floral-geometrical, except for three tiles. Two of the latter have zoomorphic drawings of birds and the third one depicts a planter. Both plots are amongst the most popular themes in Russia.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Ornament has been present throughout the recorded history, revealing human's aspirations, reflections and imaginations. Correspondingly, the discussion of ornament has almost uninterruptedly been a major topic for architectural discourses; one which has led to the publication of several significant texts in which ornamental practices has been addressed from a variety of perspectives. An investigation into the key architectural texts however, reveals that the absence of a certain definition of ornament and its functions in architecture as well as the interchangeable use of the terms 'decoration' and ornament as synonyms, have always been a serious obstacle to reach a clear conception of ornament nature . In this regard, the present paper attempted to distinguish between 'ornament' and 'decoration' based on a comparative analysis of the scholars’ accounts and the way the terms were employed in the architectural texts. Results indicated that the aforementioned concepts can be distinguished by means of seven criteria including components, connection, reference source, role, field of application and reference mode. According to the most referred criteria, ornament is an essential part of architecture which creates a firm bonding with its carrier and often fulfills functions more than aesthetic one .It is mostly made up of transformed motifs and evokes natural forces that originate deeply beyond or within the body of building. Decoration on the other hand, is a pleasing arrangement of real things; a suggestion of the decorous which does not have a permanent connection with its carrier. It is also purely representational, due to its reference to external matters such as mythology, religion, history, or cultural practice. </p>

Full textAbstract:
Using a term drawn from economic anthropology1 and pushing the boundaries of this type of analysis, I would like to describe an attempt to trace in time and space the roots of the technical, stylistic and iconographic know-how that gave form to Roman painting. Considering the fragmentary nature of the evidence at our disposal, the argumentation set forth here cannot follow a linear path containing various steps that can all be neatly demonstrated. I believe that the time is right, however, to tackle Roman painting — and particularly painting in the domestic setting — with more conviction. Although understanding the rôle and nature of the patrons and painters remains an objective that is still far off, it is probably worth investigating the traditions that enjoyed some level of continuity in Roman painting and the concrete ways and contexts in which the process unfolded. The aim is to achieve a deeper understanding of the rôle that this artistic technique played in a society that made ample use of it during a fundamental phase of its history. In the 1st c. B.C. and 1st c. A.D., in the brief period that saw the transition from Republic to Empire, the domestic ideology of Roman society found expression in a decorative system marked by a continuous stream of innovations with respect to themes, schemes and ornament that were adopted consistently by a broad spectrum of patrons. Indeed, beyond simply protecting and covering the walls of dwellings, figurative painting — especially of such a complex nature as we are dealing with here — added a wide range of elements which I believe it is useful to investigate.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues for the use of decorative signwriting as both ornamental and communicative. This examination will be twofold: first, a series of images of twentieth century signwriting in the fairground industry will be offered to this argument: all signwriting is purposefully applied, as decoration, in order to communicate, but unpicking the visual styles will unveil the hidden meanings, expanding the communicative intentions. Secondly, works of signwriting produced and installed as an archive as illustrated space will be dissected to expand on the argument being made. The archive as illustrated space is a framework being theoretically structured and then applied in practice within my Ph.D. enquiry. It advances the theories and workings of both the archive and artistic archive: the space facilitates the collation of dubious and disputed narratives, alongside archival fragments: told through communicative signwriting, it demands the participation of the viewer in its installation. Using the methodology of this practice-led research will contribute to confirming how the application of a visual language to signwriting enables the production of works that are both ornamental and communicative.This argument has been formed, primarily, due to my informed fairground position: embedded within fairground heritage my upbringing has established an appreciation for its rich history, which is reflected in my practice, which blends traditional signwriting and illustrative storytelling. This informed fairground position, combined with my Ph.D. enquiry, enriches the analysis and understanding of the practice-led research within the realm of this article: offering a valuable opportunity to not only comment on the historical works presented, but also to showcase an exploration of how to apply this visual production to contemporary, installation situations.

Full textAbstract:
The article provides an overview of the ornament in the architecture of the twentieth century, indicating the points that form the direction of the axial trajectories of the development of the ornamental form in the context of architecture. The research is based on the method of analytical description of ornament positions extracted from the the practice and textual corpus of architect’s statements. Utterances synthesize the discursive range of ornament in the field of architecture. The body of the ornament covers the subject aspects of human life and is present in the spatial form of the architectural environment. Traditionally, the location of the ornamental form is associated with the art of decoration, so the standard ornament is considered as an additive, additional in relation to the singularity of the form. The same principle applies to architecture. This study actualizes the problem of redefining the ornamental form, marking point inversions of the additivity of ornamen tal decoration as a formative aspect involved in creating the results of architectural activity. The formative principle of the article is a chronological sequence of twenty positions outlining the discourse of ornament in the context of twentieth-century architecture.

Full textAbstract:
The Malisan ancient tombs in Haman region are the most important sites, as the center of Allakuk(安羅國), in the study of Gaya. In this study, the ceremonial ornament with bird-shaped thorn(有刺利器) excavated from the Malisan tombs were examined. In the analysis of the ceremonial ornament, It attracts attention to the most distinctive part of the bird-shaped decoration. It is largely classified into the old and the new style. It is set to five types of old style and three types of new style. The old and new style differ in appearance and disappearance. The set pattern is observed to change gradually from the early period to the late period. The duration is divided into five stages from the beginning of the 5th century to the beginning of the 6th century. The scale of the wooden chamber tombs and stone chamber tombs and the main artifacts were examined, and the hierarchy was classified. The ceremonial ornament shows the hierarchical feature that is buried only in the middle grave and above. From the time of the emergence until the extinction period, the position as a superior relics was maintained. The position to be buried is changed. Artifacts what was buried near the body, it changes to the form to be placed on the vice chamber or top of the main in the late period. The ceremonial ornament excavated from the Malisan tombs is confirmed a close connection with the Gimhae region in the 4th century. The bird-shaped decoration on back of the armor excavated from the Daeseongdong No. 2 tomb is very similar to that of the earliest period in the old style of the Malisan s ceremonial ornament. From the previous period, the image of the bird-shaped decoration were identified in various artifacts as an important notion of farming rituals, worship of the sky and sun, and ceremonial rituals. It can be seen that the building group of the Malisan tombs placed the ceremonial ornament that has a symbolic meaning on the grave with a high hierarchy continuously.

Full textAbstract:
For a long time Russian manuscript book has been famous for its rich artistic design. Miniatures containing parts of liturgical texts, sermons, saints’ lives, richly decorated miniatures, initials have changed over time, so they help to date a manuscript. The article studies the artistic design of northern manuscripts in order to figure out a more accurate date of the source. The subjects of the study are liturgical and theological books from the collection of the Arkhangelsk Museum Association “Russian North artistic culture”, created in the XV–XIX centuries. All researched manuscripts are written on paper and all of them are not dated, therefore the date of writing a book is first determined by paper signs, which is then confirmed by other facts, namely by drawings written at the same time as the main text. In “Prologue”, created at the end of the 15th century, the scribe uses the Balkan ornament, which was popular in Russian books of the second half of the 15th and 16th centuries. On the sheets with miniatures there are also large initials of the Balkan type. The “Psalter” of the late 18th century was copied from the printed edition of 1651. It contains the unfinished design of King David copied from the printed edition evidenced by the artist’s manner of performing this image. Some of the manuscripts are decorated by scribes with drawings copied or taken from printed editions of the same period as the book. Thus, in the collection of the early XIX century (a “white” date on paper – 1815) there is a miniature that occurs in such printed editions as “The Life of Basil the New”, 1792–1795 and 1801, or “Psalter” 1802–1803, 1812–1814 years. In the collection of the museum there are books consisting of printed and handwritten sheets, restored instead of lost printed ones. For example, in the “Tablet” of Patriarch Nikon, published in 1656, the text was restored by hand on several pages at the beginning of the 18th century that is determined by the paper signs on the pages of the book. On the one of the manuscript sheets there is a miniature taken from a printed source and pasted into the text. Such an ornament is found, for example, in the Minne December 1714. These data show that the handwritten text and design were made at one time. The collection of the museum contains several bright books, richly decorated with Pomor ornament, which was popular in Old Believers' manuscripts written in the Russian North, near the White Sea, in the second half of the 17th and 19th centuries. The Pomor ornament is noted in the books that were created in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and is no longer found in manuscripts of late writing, which also indicates that a text and a décor of the book were made the same time. Thereby, the studied material helped to confirm the dates of the creation of the manuscripts, and also showed once again that when the source is dated, all the data in the book are taken into account.

Abstract What is it about ornament that made it so contentious for influential modernist thinkers and practitioners such as Adolf Loos and le Corbusier? According to Loos it was a sign of degeneracy and for le Corbusier best suited to 'simple races, peasants and savages'. By championing the use of ornament as a vital tool for 'resistance' in the sense that Michel de Certeau used the word the practice-led research featured in this article seeks to interrogate some of these myths. Rather than being a passive adornment to an environment the visual artworks presented here tested the potential of decoration and ornament to offer a resistive, critical interruption to everyday spaces. The particular space addressed was that of the workplace, with bespoke artworks being made for three different work-related locations.

Introduction. The article analyzes the semantics of the tree-like figures of the traditional female costume. The purpose of the work is to determine the origins of this image in the Udmurt ornamentation. Materials and Methods. The work uses the method of structural-semiotic analysis, allowing to consider costume ornament as a sign-symbolic system. Results and Discussion. The two prototypes that arose back in the period of the formation of human mentality: a woman and a totemic beast, formed the basis of the mythopoetic symbol of the world tree. Complex of Udmurt vorshud concentrated and preserved the echoes of the most ancient cult of a female – progenitor, endowed with a totem name. Each Udmurt clan had its own vorshud name. This name was associated with a natural totem, belonged to women of the clan, and passed down from generation to generation through the female line. A vorshud name was given to the ancestral territory, and its sacred center – vorshud in the sanctuary of kua. Vorshud demonstrates two key ideas of the world tree: connection and continuity of generations and the center of ancestral territory. Conclusion. During the study, the connection between the tree symbols of the costume ornament with the cult of Udmurt vorshud and the symbolism of the world tree was revealed. Therefore, it reveals the origins and semantics of wooden symbols in the Udmurt costume ornament.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Throughout the scales of design there has been an exploding interest in the ornament that seems to be fuelled by different kinds of digital technology and media from CAD to digital printing in both 2D and 3D. In architecture and industrial design it is discussed as a Return of ornament, because the aesthetics of Modernism banned ornamentation as ‘inappropriate’ to materiality, construction and function. In this article we wish to renegotiate this highly normative notion of appropriateness with special regard to sustainable design, where the ‘right’ kind of ornaments can mediate attention to more aesthetic and cultural dimensions and open for stronger individual attachments to consumer goods that might prolong their lifespan. Adolf Loos, who lead the fight against ornament in early 20<sup>th</sup> century, based his critique on an assumption of relation between ornamentation and durability that makes ornaments appropriate or not. This leads us to suggest an array of parameters that points out different situations and meanings of ornamentation: Product categories, Durability of materials, Styles, Aesthetic experience, Emotional attachment and Historical references. We discuss these parameters in cases from fashion and tableware to architecture and links ornamentation to the aesthetics of durability.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Surface articulation is a critical issue for interior architecture, and this paper sees the wall as a point of intersection where art and structure may converge and collide. A place of experimentation and a site of performance, built volumes and surface embellishments blur and reinforce edge conditions and ornament as embellishment and essential structure merge.
This paper explores a sculptural relief Copper Crystals (1965) constructed by Jim Allen for the ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) House (1964) situated at 61 Molesworth Street in Wellington, New Zealand. Following the building's failure, due to a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the sculptural relief survived a five thousand tonne demolition. Construction, size and position of the work have contributed to its survival, partly because the relief shifted from surface activation to structural member. This paper investigates the relief as it protrudes from the surface of the building’s interior.
Surface, layer and structure extend beyond the planar, producing a range of complicated effects. Visible and invisible incrustations, geometric forms and structural matrices, transform and become linked to depth, substance, mass and thickness (Papapetros, 2013). The demarcation of the essential and inessential is blurred, and the perception of ornament as dangerous during earthquakes is subverted. This paper focusses on material mediation and points to new ways of interrogating the materiality and functionality of surface and places over time.

The Kazakh folk art clearly reflected the distinctive features of the applied national culture. Its origins go far back centuries, and it is nourished by the same inexhaustible source of folk art, which gives rise to any kind of art. This long-standing and eternally young art is brought to life by various kinds of people's desire to figuratively reflect their aesthetic perception of reality. From generation to generation, unnamed artists passed on their rich experience, contributing to the formation of a national style, national artistic traditions, which determines the unique originality of any folk art. Traditional folk culture in the past is universal, defining and regulating all aspects of community life: lifestyle, forms of economic activity, customs, rituals, adaptation of social relations of community members and attitudes towards nature, the world, beliefs, beliefs, knowledge, language and folklore, in the traditional symbolic expression. In folk art, we most often think that decoration is the carrier of the main ideas of the artistic form and the basis of tradition. When adornments are most often used as fine adornments in professional art, they play a special role in traditional art, especially as a language. The ornament is directly called "specific folklore", which is extremely important for revealing its meaning. We will not consider the artistic and spiritual integrity of the decoration itself, because this is impossible in this article, so we will dwell only on some of its aspects. The research was carried out within the framework of the project of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan AR09259280 "Languages of Kazakh culture as the basis of ethnic identity: semiotics and semantics".

The article focuses on the origins and evolution of the Indo-Persian decoration "Paisley," as well as the use of this flowery linear pattern on textiles such as shawls, table wraps, and carpets. Paisley has gone through many stages in its evolution, including the Iranian art period and the Indo-Subcontinent phase (Mughal era). The intrinsic nature of the decoration is shown via a comparative research technique that defines Indo-Persian motif features. This article looked at the primary ornamental elements of the paisley pattern, which are floral and geometrical in nature, and how they are used in Iran and Kashmir. Finally, this article discusses how, because of Paisley's growing and blooming character, it is often a prominent ornament in the most important works of enrichment and plays an accentuation role in the decoration of textile surfaces. Paisley, a masterpiece, is especially linked to techniques for conveying the aesthetic brilliance of the pattern used in many cultures.

As an interaction of multiple domains including design, the furniture industry may valorise in furniture ornamentation the traditional motifs, and could encourage the creativity of designers to develop original products with a modern design, based on the digitalized technology. The article presents an example of applying CAD-CAM-CAE tools for analysing the possibility of transposing traditional motifs from the textile heritage to the furniture decoration, and to select the appropriate CNC routing method and tool in order to obtain an ornament as close as possible to the original one. Traditional motifs (rose, tulip, bird, North Star) selected from the textile heritage of Ţara Bârsei - a historical and ethnographic region of Transylvania - were drawn in a digital format, using CorelDraw and AutoCAD programs, and then imported for a simulation of CNC routing process on wooden materials, using the software vCarvePro 9.519 developed by Vectric, with two types of tools and two processing methods, namely engraving (Engrave) and carving (VCarve). Following the simulation and the analysis of the obtained images, both visually and by ImageJ software, it was assessed which method is suitable for each ornament, considering also the processing times indicated by the simulation process of the models.

При раскопках грунтового могильника Фронтовое 3 в пригороде Севастополя (Юго-Западный Крым) в захоронении конца II - середины III в. был обнаружен уникальный для Крыма импортный стеклянный кубок с растительным орнаментом, выполненным накладными «змеевидными» нитями. Такой орнамент, известный под названием «snake-thread decoration» или «Schlagenfaden Glas», характерен для продукции Восточного Средиземноморья, Кёльна (и, возможно, ряда других западноевропейских мастерских) и Паннонии. Посуда с такой орнаментацией относится к разряду предметов роскоши и была неотъемлемой частью сервировки стола сельской и городской элиты и, как правило, встречается в богатых захоронениях. Комплекс данных о форме и характере декора сосуда из Фронтового не позволяет определить точное место его изготовления, однако он, вероятно, относится к продукции одной из европейских мастерских. Его находка в одном из захоронений Фронтового хорошо объяснима: в рассматриваемый период юг и часть юго-запада Таврики находились под контролем римской военной администрации, и ее экономические связи с Херсонесом существенно расширились. During the excavations of the in-ground Frontovoye-3 cemetery in a suburb of Sevastopol (southwestern Crimea) an imported glass beaker with a floral ornament made with applique snake-threads was found. The beaker is unique for the Crimea. It was discovered in a grave dating to the end of the 2nd - mid 3rd centuries. This decoration known as snake-thread decoration or Schlagenfaden Glas is typical for the products from the eastern Mediterranean, Cologne (and, possibly, a number of other West European workshops) and Pannonia. Vessels with such ornament were luxury items used as table settings in houses of rural and urban elite; as a rule, they are found in rich burials. The dataset on the form and nature of the decoration on the beaker from Frontovoye does not make it possible to say where exactly it was produced; however, it is likely that it was made in a European workshop. Its discovery in one of the Frontovoye graves can be easily explained. During the discussed period the southern part and some areas in the southwestern part of Taurica were under control of the Roman military administrations and its economic links with Chersoneses were substantially expanded.

Lotus pattern is one of the traditional Chinese ornaments that dates back to the ancient times. During the rule of Wei and Jin dynasties, as well as Northern and Southern dynasties (222 – 589 AD), Buddhism has largely prevailed across the territory of the Great Plain of China. The forms, methods of expression, and meanings of the Chinese traditional ornaments that used the lotus pattern have changed under the influence of Buddhism. This article analyzes the peculiarities of synthesis of the Buddhist lotus ornament with the Chinese traditional culture, as well as the degree of impact of Buddhism upon the form, means of expression, and symbolic meaning of lotus patterns in the Chinese society. Having studied the scientific literature and research on the topic, the author analyzes he peculiarities of evolution of lotus pattern in China after the spread of Buddhism. The key stages of the development of lotus ornament in Buddhist decoration are examined. The conclusion is made that Buddhism played a crucial role in transformation of characteristics and means of expression of the lotus ornament, as well as extensively complemented and changed the symbolic meaning of lotus in Chinese culture and people’s perception. Buddhism not only enriched the exterior and shape of the Chinese louts ornament, but made a significant contribution to its inscape.

The article discusses a corded decoration on pottery from the Amphorae Globular Culture seasonal camp. Analysis of impressions on the pot outer surfaces revealed that this characteristic motif was produced by a simple textile template. Fragments of a five-stranded cord (S/3S/2Z) - certainly not a two-stranded one - were sewn on a net 'band' (item of a sprang type). This technique guaranteed a precise layout and space between particular impressions (ca. 2 mm each) on a soft amphorae (?) surface irrespective of an angle of ornament placements and decorative element joints.

This note discusses several recent English finds of early medieval ornamental metalwork shown at the Society of Antiquaries on 16 May 2002: most notably, a Romanesque mount with open-work foliate decoration having clear parallels with Norman and Anglo-Norman ornament of c 1100–25. Four ninth-century Anglo-Saxon strapends are also described and illustrated, two of which have decorative features with links to contemporary larger-scale works but rarer within the corpus of strap-ends; the other two being unusual examples of East Anglian niello and silver-wire inlay.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with fairy-tale and mythological motifs in the work of the architect N. P. Krasnov, represented in the decoration of the palace and manor complexes of the Romanov family Dulber and Livadia, as well as the estates of the princes Yusupov in Koreiz and Kokkoz, erected on the territory of Yalta district in 1880–1913. The stylistic continuity of architectural complexes was expressed in the ornament and decorative plastics created by the architect under the influence of Italian Renaissance, Classicist canons and Neo-Moorish elegance. The paper analyzes characteristic features of stylistic interrelations in the considered constructions by N. P. Krasnov, identifying fairy-tale, mythological artistic and figurative motifs in exterior decoration and sculpture. A full-scale study of architectural decoration and sculpture of the palace and manor complexes allows to identify the main fabulous and mythological motifs, borrowed and interpreted by N. P. Krasnov during his work as chief architect of Yalta. The study reveals that, referring to the traditions and historical architectural heritage of the Southern Coast of Crimea and artistic culture of the Mediterranean, the architect interpreted mythological subjects in plastic exterior relief, bas-reliefs and sculpture.

Full textAbstract:
Our research was conducted on a copper disc-butted axe, with a surface decoration made of a tin-based alloy, which was found east of the Carpathian Mountains in the Moldavian Plateau. This unique piece is thought to belong to the Middle Bronze Age in the Western Carpathians—Wietenberg, Suciu de Sus and Otomani–Füzesabony cultures. In order to evaluate the application process and the origin of the ores used, the surface and volume phase variation of the concentration of the metal components of the basic alloy (copper) and of the ornament was analysed using optical microscopy (OM), stereomicroscopy (SM) and SEM-EDX. The archaeometric features, formed both during its use and during its lying in the archaeological site, were identified and later used in archaeometallurgical evaluations and in determining the preservation condition of the two components (axe and ornament) on the surface, interface and in stratigraphic section. Experimental data revealed that, after its casting in porous silicon stone moulds, the object was coated with a thin film by immersion in an easily fusible tin alloy, which included copper as the major alloying component and arsenic and iron as minor components. After finishing the shiny white coat, a beautiful decoration was applied by incision and engraving. Used as a battle axe, it also had a rank function, as it belonged to the community leaders. The data prove the ability of ancient craftsmen to design and process copper alloys to obtain authentic extremely beautiful artefacts, which provide new possibilities to reveal the social and symbolic function of certain ancient bronze objects.
