- Floral Urn Quilt by Susan McCord, circa 1860 - Susan McCord was an ordinary Indiana farmwife with an extraordinary genius for quilt making. Her Floral Urn quilt is reminiscent of album quilts made of large appliqué floral or wreath blocks. Large floral motifs were popular in the mid-19th century -- but McCord's version is exceptionally imaginative. McCord's love of gardening inspired the fuchsia, tulips, and daisies which spill whimsically from the urns.

The overflowing cornucopia and urn found on either side of this flask alludes to America's agricultural bounty.

- Mourning Ring, circa 1790 - Before the 20th century, death came early and often. One way people coped was to wear jewelry as memorials to their loved ones. Over the centuries, mourning jewelry followed the prevailing fashions. Shortly after independence, Americans favored illuminated ivory set into brooches, pendants, or other jewelry, like this ring. These featured shapes derived from classical design, symbols such as urns and weeping women dressed as ancient Romans.
