Although lions were the favorite
game of the ancients, other animals
were also hunted. Some wall paint-

chasing deer, other eagles, and sever-j
al from China portray elephant and
giraffe hunts.
These scenes of hunting are espe-
cially suitable to this period of his-
tory, for artists then had the ability
of picturing the action of animals
very vividly, while their attempts on
humans were stilted and unnatural.

for all "pleasures of the flesh," did
their best to stop the festivities. It
was not until the Middle Ages that
they realized the futility of their ef-
forts and adopted the holiday as a
celebration of Christ's birth.
The real date of Christ's birth is
very uncertain. Historians do not
believe, however, that it was in the
winter, since this is the rainy season
in Palestine, and shepherds undoubt-
edly would not have been "watching
their flocks in the fields," at this
time of year.
Germans First To Use Trees
The Christmas tree, shining with
lights and bright with tinsel and or-
naments, is the most striking and
relfresentative of our decorations.
This custom came to us from Ger- ~
niany, the land of trees. There, every I
home, no matter how humble, has its
tree, decorated, as has long been the
custom with gilded nuts, apples,
sweets, goldfoil, and colored paper.
Trees were revered in Germany
long ago, since they were so closely
associated with the agricultural life

a talk prepared for a class period in
Islamic art, taught by Prof. Mehemet
Aga-Oglu.
Hunting Scenes
More than any other portrayal of
the life of the times, hunting scenes
are by far the most prevelent. This
is explained by the fact that hunting
was a royal occupation in the ancient
courts, and day after day was spent
in the saddle on the chase.
The earliest example of a hunting
scene in art is seen in a terra cotta
relief from Babylonia, dating back
between 2500 to 3000 B.C. Typical
of the art of this period, the portrayal
is very crude. It shows a man on foot,
kneeling on one knee with his bow
drawn. Another scene is from the
twelfth dynasty in Thebes. Here, an-
other man on foot with his bow and
arrows is seen. Surrounding him is
a variety of animals and a number
of hunting dogs . . . the introduction
of hounds in the chase.
In Mycenian art are a number of
very small and intricately designed
objects which show the vivid action
of the hunting. One gold gem has a
great display of action, for the horses
of the hunters are in full gallop. An
interesting feature is the way in
which the horses' legs are pictured,
for none of them are in the ground.
Another famous art piece from this
period is a gold dagger richly inlaid.
On the blade of the dagger is a scene
of a lion hunt.
Assyrian Influence
Ashirn'aspial and Ashurbanipal,
rulers during the Assyrian period of
art, were so fond of hunting that they
killed off all of the available game
in the nearby vicinity. As a result,
lions were sent from the South and
kept in cages to be released at the
discretion of the king. During the
royal hunt, the king rode in a char-
riot drawn by four horses and pro-
tected from the sun by an attendant
carrying an umbrella. One wall re-
lief shows a lion being released from
a cage. An attendant crouches above
