The Met’s catalogue: a bowl

Date in the source: 9th century; API numeric search bounds 800–899

The Metropolitan Museum of Art catalogue identifies object 42390 (accession 1980.365) as “Bowl”, assigns the cultural label “China”, gives the material as “Stoneware with white slip and glaze”, and displays the date “9th century”.

What this does and does not establish: A source-attributed catalogue description, not independently established material, identity, origin or exact manufacture date. No image or physical object was inspected. The API gives numeric bounds 800–899 alongside “9th century”; these database bounds are retained without redefining the conventional ordinal-century boundary or claiming exact manufacture in any year.

The Met’s catalogue: a trumpet

Date in the source: 100–800; API numeric search bounds 100–800

The Metropolitan Museum of Art catalogue identifies object 501851 (accession 89.4.1285) as “Trumpet”, assigns the cultural label “Moche”, gives the material as “Clay”, and displays the date “100–800”.

What this does and does not establish: A source-attributed catalogue description, not independently established material, identity, origin or exact manufacture date. No image or physical object was inspected. The broad 100–800 range is not evidence for activity in every intervening year. The museum country field is a present-day geographic locator, not a claim of an ancient national border.
