For ancient art, knowing a range of alternate terms and spellings for them will aid you in your research. This is because scholars from different time periods and geographic areas spell the same terms different ways, but many library databases will only match the term as you type it in. I tried a range of spellings for the objects specified for your assignment in the resources suggested to the left. Below are my suggestions:
