Chamber (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net The "chambers of imagery", i.e., chambers painted with images, as used by Ezekiel (8:12), is an expression denoting the vision the prophet had of the abominations practiced by the Jews in Jerusalem. The "chambers of the south" (Job 9:9) are probably the constellations of the southern hemisphere. There were also "chambers within chambers" (1 Kings 22:25; 2 Kings 9:2). www.christiananswers.net /dictionary/chamber.html   (112 words)

BUSH'S STAR CHAMBER The court met in a room in Westminster Palace which had stars painted on the ceiling, and from this mundane decoration the special private King's court drew the name "Star Chamber". The Star Chamber, initially sold to Parliament as a necessity to speed justice along in certain extreme and complex cases, and to try nobles who were, by law, immune from prosecution by the lower courts, the Star Chamber was actually a tool for political repression. The Court of France had their own version of the Star Chamber, again secret, again able to met out unusual and cruel sentences (the "Man in the black silk mask", inspiration for the story of the "Man in the iron mask", was thought to have been one such sentence). www.whatreallyhappened.com /starchamber.html   (112 words)

First Chamber: Nefertari's Tomb Tour Above the pillars in the tomb is a blue ceiling painted with stars. Osiris’ spirit is ever-present in the images on the tomb’s walls, and he himself is frequently shown with his identifying symbols, especially the crook and flagellum and leopardskin-bag (he's on the left below). And instead of being a mark of shame and pollution, the Isis-blood sign in Nefertari's tomb is as important as the pillar in upholding the world. www.swarthmore.edu /Humanities/pschmid1/essays/Nefertari/first.chamber.html   (1064 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Heritage Sleuthing in a royal tomb As they looked into the tomb's structure they saw that it was clearly in need of consolidation before restoration, and the team observed that salt leeching through its walls had caused some of the painted reliefs to crumble away. Early in the XVIIIth Dynasty royal tombs consisted of an entrance stairway followed by a series of four passages separated by steps or sloping ramps, with bends and turns leading to a large pillared hall and the tomb chamber. His tomb was one of the largest in the Valley of the Kings, and an assortment of foundation deposits discovered outside the entrance and representing rituals carried out at his burial was found by Howard Carter back in 1915. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/676/he1.htm   (1750 words)

Star Chamber The Star Chamber was a court controlled by the monarch (it was named after the room in which it originally met, a room in the royal palace of Westminster that had stars painted on the ceiling--a mundane enough source for what became an ominous and terror-inducing name). The Star Chamber was finally abolished by the Long Parliament in 1641. The court was created by Henry VIII in 1487, when Henry forced the Parliament to pass an act declaring the ancient right of the king's council to hear petitions of redress. www.brysons.net /miltonweb/starchamber.html   (1750 words)

Chamber Music Kelowna They have performed in some of the world’s most spectacular chamber music halls, including London’s Wigmore Hall and Boston’s Jordan Hall, Weill Hall in New York City, and at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. This concert is part of the BISQC winner’s Canadian recital tour arranged by The Banff Centre. In 2004 the quartet were winners of two major North American chamber music competitions: the grand prize at New England Conservatory's Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in May, and the Banff International String Quartet Competition in September. These paintings were lost, and Yuli Turovsky has commissioned a set of oil canvases to be painted, based on Mussorgsky’s music. www.chambermusickelowna.ca   (1009 words)

Old execution chamber may never be used again Besides the death chamber, with its beige-painted walls, two bare light bulbs and a ventilation pump on the ceiling, there's a 13-by-20-foot viewing room and a closet-sized "executioners' room." From there, two prison employees, peering through a cracked, one-way mirror into the death room, pump a cocktail of lethal drugs into condemned inmates' veins. The 9-by-12-foot death chamber was last used in April 2001, when a screaming, sobbing Sebastian Bridges, 37, was executed by lethal injection for shooting another man and letting him bleed to death in the desert outside Las Vegas. Warden Mike Budge says the half-century-old chamber is in a cramped corner of the prison that's "almost medieval." Besides, he says recent federal court rulings have raised uncertainty over the future of capital punishment. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/735279/posts   (1009 words)

Shijin (Shishin) - Four legendary Chinese creatures protecting the four directions In Japan notable examples of the shishin are found on the walls of the tomb chamber in the tumulus Takamatsuzuka 高松塚 of the Asuka period, and on the base of the Yakushi Triad, Yakushi Sansonzou 薬師三尊像 at Yakushiji 薬師寺, both in Nara. Frequently painted on the walls of early Chinese and Korean tombs, the animals served primarily an apotropaic function warding off evil spirits. The four creatures were probably introduced to Japan from China sometime in the 7th century AD (see Takamatsu Zuka Tombs below), but in China they date back to the 2nd century BC. www.onmarkproductions.com /html/ssu-ling.shtml   (2732 words)

Chamber Pot (Getty Museum) This chamber pot has scrolling walls shaped like snail shells, while the handle with its flat thumb rest is formed and painted to resemble a twig. Bourdaloue's sermons were apparently so long that the ladies at court asked their maids to supply them with chamber pots so that they would not be forced to leave and miss any of his wisdom. Oval chamber pots such as this one have been known since the 1700s as bourdaloues. www.getty.edu /art/collections/objects/o6584.html   (163 words)

Star Chamber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The court was so named because the court chamber had a pattern of stars on a dark blue background painted on its ceiling. The power of the Court of Star Chamber grew considerably under the Stuarts, and by the time of Charles I it had become synonomous with misuse and abuse of power by the king and his circle. The Star Chamber was an English court of law at the royal Palace of Westminster that began sessions in 1487 and ended them in 1641 when the court itself was abolished. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Star_Chamber   (163 words)

Functional It fell to the gatekeeper at the end of the day to explain to her what a chamber pot was, and why it wasn't the best container for displaying and selling her butter. In one booth she came across a lovely big pot, all painted in flowers, with handles on the side. Well, one day she sold all her butter early, before noon, so she had a little time to go looking at the other stalls in the market. www.offcenter.biz /serving.html   (839 words)

The Pyramid designed as an Architectural Manifestation of the Duat The reed mat shrine was symbolically inscribed and painted on the walls surrounding the sarcophagus inside the burial chamber of the pyramid of Unas. As the sun journeys from the Duat to the Akhet, the king's ba travels from the sarcophagus chamber to the antechamber, the architectural counterpart of the Akhet.

Mycenaean Public and Funerary Architecture At Thebes in Boeotia, where a palace existed but tholoi did not serve as an elite burial form, royal burials appear to have been made in gigantic chamber tombs such as the "Painted Chamber" discovered in the early 1970's. At Tanagra in Boeotia, burials are made in painted larnakes placed within normal chamber tombs, a practice identical to burial habits in Late Minoan Crete but unique to this one site on the Greek Mainland. At Vrana near Marathon, burial in built chambers or large cists within circular tumuli continues a local Middle Helladic tradition of burial throughout the Mycenaean period, a tradition also attested in the LH I Tomb V at Thorikos (see handout on Mycenaean Tholos Tombs). projects.dartmouth.edu /history/bronze_age/lessons/les/21.html   (2771 words)

Gunston Hall Room Use Study Referring to his mother, John notes that the room to the left of the land front door was "her Chamber."(1) By the last half of the 18th century, the word "chamber" generally referred to a bedroom. Even though the room is larger than the narrow chamber overlooking the garden (207), the room with attic access probably would have been the least important of the second floor chambers, especially as it is possible that one or more of the slaves or servants slept on the third level under the roof. The room arrangements in the second floor should reflect the specific composition of the Mason household during the interpretive period as well as the current scholarship on sleeping arrangements and chamber usage. gunstonhall.org /architecture/roomuse/domestic.html   (8951 words)

The South American Painted-Snipe (right in a great photo by John and Karen Shrader) ranges throughout the southern third of South America.
