By THe Ricur HonouRABLE THE LorDs OF THE COMMITTEE OF HER
Maggsty’s most HonouraBLE Privy Councit on EpucarTIion.
The forthcoming International Exhibition of 1862 being likely to cause a
great increase in the number of visitors to the Museum, and as the New
Courts, now in course of construction, will by the time of the opening of the
Exhibition be ready to receive collections, it is desirable on that occasion to
extend, in a special manner, the system, which has hitherto been so successful,
of receiving fine Works of Art on loan.
It is therefore the intention of the Department to assemble together in 1862
a special collection of Works of Art, in categories analogous to those repre-
sented in the Art Museum, with the view, more particularly, of bringing
together for temporary exhibition the finest known specimens of their several
kinds in this country. Without for the present setting forth any definite
scheme, objects in the following categories may be specified :—Decorative
works in metal of the Mediaeval and more recent periods; gold and silver
plate. Bronzes. Decorative arms and armour. Jewellery. Enamels.
Earthenware and Porcelain. Carvings in Ivory and other materials. Deco-
rative furniture, Miniatures, &c.
Mr. J. C. Robinson, the Superintendent of the Art Collections, is charged
with the execution of this Minute.
By order of the
Committee of Council on Education.

(1.) As the intention is less the formation of a very extensive collection
than that of an extremely sclect and systematic one, it is obvious that the
reception of unnecessary or duplicate specimens must be avoided, and that on
the other hand the most careful consideration should be exercised in the
selection of the real and acknowledged treasures of art alone desired on this
oceasion. These desiderata, however, can only be attained by the kind
co-operation and acquiescence of the possessors of valuable works in the
practical methods devised for carrying the exhibition into effect.
It is therefore hoped that the possessors of fine works of art, who may be
disposed to lend them for the gratification and instruction of the public, will
kindly consent to allow such works to e selected from their collections as may
be specially asked for, in accordance with methodic lists, which it is intended
to complete, if possible, before any specimens are actually removed.
(2.) All expenses attending the removal of objects to the Museum and their
return at the close of the exhibition will be defrayed.
(3.) In every case, where necessary or practicable, objects wiil be packed
and removed in charge of the proper responsible officers of the Department,
and returned in the same manner.
(4.) The exhibition will be kept open from June to October, and it is hoped
that lenders will be disposed to leave their contributions on view during that
time. It is not, however, intended to depart from the original rule of the
Museum in reference to objects received on loan, namely, that contributors, if
desirous, may reclaim their loans at any moment.

NOTICE.
THE following Catalogue was originally brought out in
five parts, which appeared at intervals, as the materials for
them could be procured.
The order in which the sections occur, therefore, depended
rather on their relative completeness at the early period of
the collection of the objects, and on the convenience of the
writers who have aided the Hditor in his task, than on any
plan of arrangement which he could have laid down for his
guidance. Several sections have been supplemented by
addenda, consisting chiefly of objects, the late arrival of
which prevented their insertion in the regular order ; others
not easy to class, will be found under the head of “ Mis-
cellaneous.” A general index of names of lenders and
objects is now appended.
Considering the hurried manner in which every section
of the work was necessarily produced, it is certain that
numerous errors, doubtless some regretable ones, must have
occurred. The preparation, however, of a really adequate
descriptive catalogue of such a vast Collection would have
been the work of years, rather than of a few months; and
the fact that each writer zealously did his best to complete
his task at the earliest possible moment, in order that the
descriptions might be available to the public, whilst as yet
the objects themselves remained on view, must be accepted
as the best apology for shortcomings.
xiv
As will be seen from the lists herein, the number of
contributors to the Collection was about five hundred,
and the actual number of specimens contributed may be
computed at upwards of nine thousand, whilst the
number of visitors to the Exhibition, from June to
November inclusive, was nearly nine hundred thousand.
INTRODUCTION
(TO THE EARLIER EDITIONS).
THE difficulties attending the assembling together, from
all parts of the Kingdom, of the diversified objects composing
the present collection, rendered the preparation of a Catalogue,
in time for the opening of the Exhibition, quite impracticable.
It was found to be impossible to obtain sufficiently precise
information respecting the objects about to be contributed,
to enable detailed preliminary lists to be prepared, whilst
the postponement of transmission of a great proportion of
the specimens, until the latest moment, rendered the work
of arranging the collection for exhibition, of itself sufficiently
onerous.
The necessity for a catalogue, however, was evident, and
the present instalments are an attempt to supply the want,
at all events, as speedily as circumstances would allow.
The names of the writers of the several sections precede
the same. It is intended to issue further parts with as
little delay as possible, rather than to await the completion
of the entire work.
The Editor takes this opportunity of gratefully acknow-
ledging the invaluable aid and assistance rendered by the
members of the Committee, in respect to the work of obtaining
loans, many gentlemen having, indeed, taken charge of, and
conveyed from considerable distances, objects of great delicacy
and value. A complete list of the Committee precedes this
notice.
The active co-operation of his colleague, Mr. R. H. 8. Smith,
and of the Rev. James Beck, in like manner calls for special
recognition.
Xvi
The liberality and public spirit of the owners of the
treasures now brought together need no comment ; applica-
tions for loans were, almost without exception, responded
to with the utmost readiness, and, indeed, the only diffi-
culty was to restrict the contributions, offered on all hands,
within the limits of the space to be filled.

Reverse, border of arabesque scrolls on blue. This beautiiul
piece has all the apparent qualities of the finest orienta
porcelain ; indeed, so perfect is it, that it is difficult at first
sight to believe it to be merely stanniferous glazed earthen-
ware. The extraordinary composition, above indicated, is a
careful copy, executed in the most artistic and dexterous
manner, on an enlarged scale, from a very scarce and famous
early Italian print, which from the fact of its bearing the
initials P. P. has often been ascribed to Pietro Perugino
(Bartsch, No. 3, vol. 13, p. 357). The style of design,
however, has not the least analogy with that of the great
Umbrian master, whilst it forcibly recalls that of Andrea
Mantegna, and Gentile Bellini. A beautiful plate, un-
doubtedly painted by the same hand, in the centre of which,
similarly executed in blue grisaille, is an original or at least
otherwise unknown composition, of Christ disputing with
the doctors, is preserved in the Kensington collection
(No. 4,727) ; fortunately it is inscribed on the back,
“T. la botega d M° Jero da Forli.”
In all probability, then, both these pieces were executed
in Forli, and the writer woul: suggest that the designs here
reproduced, both of which may well have been invented
by the same great artist, are really due to the celebrated
and too little known painter, Melozzo da Forli, whose
authenticated works exhibit the same intluence of Mantegna
and the Venetian masters alluded to as characteristic of
both these compositions ; the foreshortened figure in the
present piece (copied from the print) is fully worthy of
Melozzo’s daring genius. On this supposition the signature
P. P. on the print may be merely that of the engraver.

No. 5,182. Deep bowl plate, painted with a hunting
scene of four nude equestrian figures, in the style of Pol-
Jaiuolo. The cutlines and shading of this piece are in blue,
but the ground spaces, drapery, and other details are pro-
fusely filled in with a peculiar yellow lustre colour ; portions
also are sparingly enriched with a dull ruby lustre; on the
reverse 1s a decoration of flaming rays of the two lustre
tints. This fine and unusual piece may be either of the
manufacture of Deruta or Caffaggiolo. Circa, 1500-20,

touched or grounded with orange; composition, the

Pietro Perugino. Majolica of Deruta, near Perugia. Circa
1520-30. Diameter, 12 in. JOHN HENDERSON, Esq.
No. 5,185. Plate, painted in blue grisaille: the Nuptials
of Alexander and Roxana, from Mare Antonio’s print after
Raffaelle ; various details of the composition are picked
out with yellow lustre; on the reverse is the signature
written in scarcely legible characters :
“Deruta fe.
el frate pemse.”
This piece came from the Delsette collection in Bologna,
and was first noticed by M. Luigi Frati in his catalogue
of that collection (Bologna, 1844); one or two other
signatures have been since noted; the painter would seem
to have been a priest or friar, and, judging from the bar-
barous spelling and crabbed characters of his signature,
a very illiterate one. Diameter, 12? in.
. ALEXANDER BARKER, Esq.
No. 5,186. Plateau, with raised medallion centre, in
which is painted in blue and yellow lustre tints, a bust of
Pallas ; this is surrounded bya broad band of yellow lustre,
and again by a wider zone of arabesque scroll-work, with
masks, hippocampi, &c., in relief. These arabesques are
tinted with the lustre colour, and are relieved on the white
ground of the ware; the narrow margin of the plate is
also ornamented with raised arabesques in lustre, shaded
with blue. Deruta ware? Circa 1530-40. Perhaps the
work of “Tl frate.” Diameter, 132 in. §. ApprneTon, Esq.
No. 5,187. Plate painted with a composition representing
Time as an aged man with large wings, supported on
crutches, standing on a car or pedestal drawn by two
stags; this is surrounded by a crowd of draped figures of
various ages; amongst them, Hercules with his club;
rocky landscape hackground. Painted in a precise and
highly-finished, but very formal manner; the back of this
piece is grounded in pale yellow, on which is painted a
pattern of scale-work in orange. Inscribed in centre :
“ Baldasara Manara fan.”

This is undoubtedly the finest known specimen of an artist

No. 5,188. Bowl-shaped plate, the centre very delicately
painted with Perseus delivering Andromeda, who is tied
to the trunk of a tree; border of zones of orange, yellow,
and blue; the blue band, which is the widest, diapered with
a small interlaced cord pattern in darker blue; reverse no
decoration. The works of this master are recognisable by
their extremely pure and careful, yet rather timid style ;
see a beautiful “ plaque,” in the Kensington Museum Col-
lection, No. 1,741 (representing Joseph sold by his
brethren). The fine porcellanous glaze of these pieces
and general style and technique resemble those of the early
Faenza, or Castel Durante Maestri. Circa 1515-20.

No. 5,189. Plate; subject Atneas brought before Dido.
Castel Durante ware, circa 1526. The works of this
master are easily recognisable by their peculiar pale but
harmonious scale of colour, in which cool blues and pale
sulphur yellows prevail. The execution is timid yet dis-
tinguished by a certain purity and delicacy of style; on
several of his plates is the signature “In Castel Durante,”
1526; there is as yet, however, no clue to his name. In the
public museum at Arezzo is an extensive series of the
works of this master. Diameter, 114in. Rev. T. BERNEY.

bearing azure a scaling-ladder bendways or, on which is
erected a banner argent. In the execution, which is very
delicate and highly finished, the peculiar scale of colouring,
and general style, this piece greatly resembles the works of
an artist who signs himself’ (generally on specimens of
rather a later date than the present) Nicola da Urbino.

G. H. Moranp, Esq.
No. 5,203. Plate, with wide margin, which is painted
with a continuous landscape, and with six draped nymphs
in the foreground gathering flowers ; in a medallion in the
centre, surrounded by a zone of delicate palmette ornaments
in white enamel, on the white ground of the piece, is
another nymph, also gathering flowers. A splendid piece
of the earlier Urbino fabrique in the manner of Nicola da
Urbino. Cirea 1535. Diameter, 12in. Rev. T. BERNEY.
No. 5,204. A splendid plate of the larger model, with
wide border, the painting covering the entire surface,
Raffaelle’s Galatea ; executed with great spirit in the most
warm and glowing tints. The glaze and general technique
of this beautiful piece are of the most perfect kind. Castel
Durante or Urbino ware, 1535.
The works of the really great master to whom this piece
is due have many points of resemblance in style with those
of Nicola da Urbino. If it might be supposed that they
were really by Nicola, they would at once elevate that master
to a much higher status than he has hitherto occupied.
Further observation will doubtless determine this point.
Diameter, 134 in. JoHN HENDERSON, Esq.
No. 5,205. Tile or square plaque, exquisitely painted
with a composition of the Holy Family, with St. Joseph and
the infant St. John, apparently after Raffaelle. This most
beautiful work is by the same hand as the previous piece.
The head of the Madonna has almost the grace and beauty
of an actual drawing of Raffaelle ; the execution is light
and delicate, and full of artistic feeling ; whilst the colour-
ing of the flesh distinguished by a warm transparent orange,
shaded by a transparent olive tint, is of the most tender and
harmonious kind. It is unfortunate that the name of this
truly excellent maestro is unknown to us. Height, 11 in. ;

eagle’s talon in the waist. I could have crept through any

step-mother, complaining that she has been abandoned, says
she is so worn away with grief that 8a daxruAiu pey ov esy’

into a somewhat quatrefoil form ; in the centre is a raised
circular boss divided into four by delicate lines of filigree,
the angles filled with double scrolls of the same; from this

ancient Irish work, marked with thin lines of niello and
with projecting eyes formed of dots of dark blue and dark
brown transparent glass or enamel; these, which are in
high relief, rest on and strengthen the expanded edge, round
which runs a border of plaited wire ornament: the junction of
the ends of the hoop at the back of the bezel is finished with a
granulated wire of filigree, terminating in three small balls.

No. 7,202. The Verney ring, with portrait of Charles I.
Sir Edmund Verney was standard bearer to King Charles I.,
and raised the standard erected at Nottingham. This
ring was said to have been presented by the king to
Sir Edmund, and the tradition is that it was taken from
the hand of the latter, which still held the standard at
the battle of Edgehill, 1642, where he was killed. His
body was never found, and as it is also a tradition that he
was brought into the world by the Ozesarean process, the
old saying was rife in the neighbourhood that Sir Edmund
was neither born nor buried.
He was M.P. for Wycombe, and knight marshall of the
household. His son was member of the long parliament
for Aylesbury. Sir Harry VERNEY, Barr.

Watches.*
No. 7,462. Collection of 94 ancient watches made in
England, France, Germany, Holland, and Switzerland, and »
thus arranged according to age and construction.
Class I. contains 17 examples, from the period of: their
invention, about 1500, to about 1540, being those made
previous to the invention or general adoption of the
fusee. This division exhibits three periods of progressive
improvement. In the earliest the movements were entirely
of steel; in the next the plates and pillars were of brass,
the wheels and pinions of steel ; in the latest the plates and
wheels of brass, the pinions of steel, as at present.
Class II. contains 38 examples, from about 1540 to 1640,
all having fusees. During that time watches were made of
all imaginable shapes and sizes, and the cases were of all
forms and materials; the examples exhibited are round,
-oval, octagonal, and cruciform ; one in form of a shell,
another of a skull; one in form of a golden egg or acorn,
discharged a diminutive wheel-lock pistol at a certain hour.
The cases of some were of crystal or bloodstone, and orna-
mented with enamel, chased, and engraved designs, &c., on
gold or silver.
Class III. contains 23 watches, from 1610 to 1675, the
period when the pendulum spring was invented. These

1620, and which superseded the more ancient quaint forms,
Amongst these are some curious astronomical watches, or
perpetual moving calendars, showing besides the time the
phases and age of the moon, the course of the sun through
the signs, days of the month and week, &c. The cases are
of silver, richly engraved, or of open work, some ornamented
with subjects beautifully enamelled by Toutin and other
artists of his school. One example is embossed with flowers
of enamel and enriched with diamonds.
Class IV. contains 26 watches, made after the inven-
tion of the pendulum spring in 1675 to 1720. Some
are in cases of gold or silver, richly embossed or chased ;
some enamelled; others supply curious examples of the
bulky form of watch made at that period.

No. 7,753. The silver spoon, boots, and gloves of Henry VI.
These relics of the ill-starred King Henry VI. have a
special interest owing to the circumstances which accom-
panied their gift. After the bloody battle of Hexham (A.D.
1463), Henry escaped by hard riding from the close pursuit
of Edward’s followers, and took refuge, after various changes
of abode, at Bolton Hall, then the abode of Sir Ralph
Pudsey, where he remained for about six weeks. Finding,
however, that his retreat either was or would soon be known
to his rival, and desiring not to involve in his own ruin his
friend. Sir Ralph, the monarch voluntarily quitted the hall,
leaving behind the above-mentioned objects. From Bolton,
Henry fled to Waddington Hall, the ancient seat of the
Tempest family (where he left his pen-case, vide No. 7,754),
but was soon betrayed by Talbot of Bashall into the hands
of the Karl of Warwick, by whom he was conveyed a pri-
soner to the Tower of London. The spoon is of silver, and
bears the hall mark, the Lombardic H. corresponding to
the year 1445. The boots and gloves are both of tanned
leather, lined with deer-skin. Capt. Pupsrty Dawson.
No. 7,754. The pen-case of King Henry VI.
This pen-case of leather, or cuir bouilli, ornamented with

disastrous battle of Hexham, in 14638. It came into the
possession of Edward Parker, Esq., of Brewsholme, by his
marriage with Anne Tempest, who brought the estate of
Waddington into the family of Parker ; his lineal descendant,
Thomas Lister Parker, Esq., of Brewsholme, presented this
interesting relic to the present possessor.

No. 7,755. A circular pendent jewel, called “ The George

the tomb, with the cross, ladder, spear, and sponge in the
background, a basin and ewer, and four busts in relief on
enamel. On the other side are enamelled figures’ of St.
George killing the dragon, the damsel behind awaiting the
result of the contest; both subjects have an elegant border
of flowers, enamelled bow and pendant. Round the side is
inscribed—* 0 : PASSI : GRAVIORA : DABIT : HIS : QVOQVE :
FINEM.”
The whole is of pure gold, and, as a work of art, is
exquisite, particularly the figure of our Lord, which is
admirably modelled. In all probability this jewel was
intended for a reliquary, as Sir Thomas More was never
invested with the insignia of the Garter. Diameter 2% in.

July 14, 1514.* The curious relic of this eminent man, the
predecessor of Wolsey, had been preserved in the family of
Mr. Henderson’s maternal ancestor, George Keate, the poet,
from whom it descended to the present possessor. The
arms of the sovereign under an arched crown, the upper
part of which is enamelled of a pure white colour, here
appearing by the side of the quarterly coat, surmounted by
a cardinal’s hat, have led to the conjecture that this piece
of plate may have been part of a service presented to the
prelate by Henry VIII, or have been in some manner
connected with his embassy to the holy see. The beauty
of the enamelled ornament has also led some to suppose
that the snuffers are of Italian workmanship. On the top
of the pan the arms of the cardinal are thus given, quarterly,
1 and 4 az., two battle-axes or, on a chief or, two mullets
gu. (Bainbridge), 2 and 3 gu., a squirrel sejant or. This
quartering remains unappropriated. The introduction of
the battle-axes and other charges on the side of the pan
and the terminations of the handles, in form of squirrels,
clearly show that this piece was executed specially for the
cardinal. Its weight is 4 oz. 9 dwt. (Extracted from the

No. 7,764. Mary Stuart’s handbell, of silver-gilt.
This is one of the objects of personal use doubtless which
garnished the chamber of the captive queen; it is perhaps
the identical “ closchéte” described in inventories of valuable
relics of former state which she was permitted to retain
until the termination of her life at Fotheringay, 1586.
678 Section 37.—HistTortcAL RELIcs.
It is certain that Mary was accustomed to make use of
such a bell, which, in accordance with the fashion of the
time, accompanied the “escritoyre’”’ and furniture of her
table. The personal devices found on the bell afford no
slight argument in favour of the supposition that it may
have been her companion throughout her dreary captivity.
In the will made by Mary, when suffering from sickness at
Sheffield in February 1577, she bequeathed to her secretary
Nau, by whose hand that document was written, the fol-
lowing objects: “A Nau, mon grand diamant, ma grande
escritoyre d’argent aux bords dorez, et la closchete de
mesme.” (Vide Labanoff, “ Recueil de Lettres,” tome iv.
p- 860.) In the inventory of jewels and plate taken at
Chartley in August 1586, there occurs the item “une
clochette d’argent de sus la table de Sa Majesté. (Labanoff,
Recueil, tome vii. p. 247.) Again in the inventory of the
jewels, plate, &c. in the custody of the servants of the “late
Queen of Scots,” taken at Fotheringay, February 20, 1586-
87, there are found in the keeping of Elizabeth Curle, “a
candlestick of silver-gilt, a little silver bell,” &c.
The bell measures about 4 in. in height, the handle in-
cluded; the diameter at the mouth measures 24 in.; around
its waist, externally, are engraved, 1. The Royal arms of
Scotland, the shield ensigned with a low arched crown,
having strawberry leaves alternately with fleurs-de-lys, as on
her Scottish seals. 2. The monogram composed of the
Greek letters X and P, signifying the name of our Lord,
within a circle inscribed with the words,—IN HOC sIGNO
VINCE 86, and at the close of the inscription a trefoil slipped.
3. on the side opposite to the last an impresa, a vine, of which
i moiety is leafless; a hand issuing from clouds, and hold-
ing a pruning bill, cuts off the dead branches; on a circular
band around are the words—VIRESCIT. VVLNERE. VIRTVS.
This impresa is identical with that on one of four of Mary’s
silver jetons. (Vide Catalogue of Antiquities exhibited at
Edinburgh, p. 180.) This device is the monogram or cipher
which is likewise to be seen within the hoop of Mary’s
signet ring, now in the British Museum; here it is ensigned
with an arched crown, and enclosed within a band inscribed
thus,—SA . VERTV . MATIRE. This motto, which is an
anagram of Mary’s name, occurs in the description of
devices embroidered on a bed wrought by her, as stated
in a letter from Drummond of Hawthornden to Ben
Jonson, dated July t, 1619 (Drummond’s « History,”
p- 137, 1655). The bell preserved at Kennet had been
traditionally designated a “mass bell.” It appears, how-
ever, most improbable that it was destined for any sacred
SEcTIOoN 37.—HisroricaL Rewics. 679
use. There is an enigmatical device engraved within,
which has been supposed to show that its use was simply
to summon the queen’s attendants to her presence. It con-
sists of concentric circles, with lines radiating from the
central point where the clapper is attached, and pointing to
certain letters and numerals engraved within the circles.
The letters have been read, commencing from the circle
nearest the rim of the bell—cLamar svas (she calls her
attendants) ; departing a little from the order which the
circles seem to indicate, and passing over the numerals. This
may seem too arbitrary a process to be quite satisfactory.
It is possible that the letters are initials, and the numerals
ciphers for names or words. The figures have been read 43,
and they may refer to Mary’s coronation by Cardinal Beaton,
on September 9, 1543. For further details, vide Mr. Albert
Way’s “Catalogue of Antiquities exhibited at Edinburgh
in 1856,” p. 172. R. Bruce, Esq., of Kennet.
No. 7,765. The gold rosary and crucifix of Mary Stuart
Queen of ‘Scots.
The beads are large, and entirely of gold, and were
originally enriched with enamel, some faint traces of which
are still perceptible on the larger ones; pendent pearls are
attached to the crucifix.
According to tradition, this precious object was presented
by the Pope to Queen Mary, and was the one worn by her
at her execution, 1586. On the scaffold she charged her
faithful servant, Sir Andrew Melville, the master of her
household, to convey the rosary, as a last token, to the Earl
and Countess of Arundel, who had befriended her in her long
imprisonment. It came into the possession of the dukes of
Norfolk as part of the collection of the celebrated Thomas,
Earl of Arundel, and was presented by the late Charles,
Duke of Norfolk, to Mr. Henry Howard, of Corby Castle.
It is said that a servant took it into her head that the rosary
ought to be cleaned, and without saying a word to anyone,
boiled it some time in water; when taken out the enamel
was found to have dropped off.

and pellets; beneath is also a like border and fringed edge.
The only hall wnarks remaining on this band are a Lom-
bardie letter H. of the year 1445, and a cross or star of
six points (the cross of Aquitaine ?). The stem is of ivory,
resting on a high silver foot, the upper part of which has
an upright pierced trefoil border and corded belt; below is
a plain moulding originally ornamented with appliqué
cherubs and stones alternately, some of which still remain ;
below this again is another upright pierced border of masks
and scrolls of roses and thistles, finishing towards the edge
with borders of crosses and pellets, and corded and pearled
lines. The cover has two open-work borders of vases and
scrolls, and masks set with garnets and pearls between; on
the flat ivory is laid a silver band, inscribed in Lombardic
characters—SOBRII . ESTOTE. Between the words are the
letters T.B., with a mitre between, the strings of the mitre
passing in a knot through the letters, and coupling them
together, and on each side a pomegranate; this cipher
is repeated at the end of the sentence. On the narrow
part of the cover is a plain belt, inscribed in Roman
capitals—IrERARE GOD (sic). Above this are two fluted
bosses, with pearls and garnets between, surmounted by
a figure of St. Michael and the dragon.
The plain hatched bands upon which the lettering occurs
appear to be of the date 1445, but the ornamented borders,
&c., bear all the character of work of a century later.

of the queen it reverted to the Earl of Arundel. It passed
with the rest of the Arundel collections into the possession

given by him to Mr, Herbert on his way to execution,
682 Section 37.--HisToricat RELIcs. |
Jan 30, 1649. The outer case is of beautifully perforated:
work enclosing two silver bells, on which the hours and
quarters are struck; part of the interior mechanism of the
clock was unfortunately modernized many years ago, and
the original catgut spring replaced by a metal one. The
name of the maker “ Edward East, London,” is engraved
inside ; his name is among those of the ten assistants of the
Clockmakers’ Company on its first incorporation in 1631;
and he is mentioned in Sir Thomas Herbert’s memoirs
(page 103, London 1702,) as the king’s watchmaker, living
in Fleet St. Diameter, 3} in. ; depth, 12 in.
This interesting relic came into the family of the present
possessor by intermarriage with the Herberts. Thomas
Herbert, a kinsman of the Earls of Pembroke, was in arms
for the parliament during the civil war, until he was
appointed a personal attendant upon the king, to whom he
became sincerely attached, and remained with him to the
last.
The following extracts from his “‘ Memoirs,” page 132,
will best explain the history of the gift. On the morning
of the 30th January, Colonel Hacker having knocked at
the king’s chamber door, and announced “ that it was time
«“ to go to Whitehall, where he might have some further
“ time to rest, the king bade him go forth, he would
“ come presently. Sqme time his majesty was private, and
“ afterwards taking the good bishop by the hand, looking
“ upon him with a cheerful countenance, he said, * come, let.
“us go; and, bidding Mr. Herbert take with him the
« silver clock that hung by the bedside, said ‘open the
« door; Hacker has given us a second warning.’ Through
“ the garden the king passed into the Park, where, making
“a stand, he asked Mr. Herbert the hour of the day, and
“ taking the clock into his hand, gave it to him, and bade
“ him keep it in memory of him, which Mr. Herbert keeps
“ accordingly.” Engraved in the Sussex Arch. Collection,

imitate that which the king wore in his left ear. The only

makers’ Company in 1631; a warden in 1635; and died
about 1638. The watch is a plain silver one in a double
ease, of an egg-shaped form, flattened on the sides, with a
circular glazed aperture in the outer case to show the silver
dial plate. It is attached by three short. silver curb chains
to a small plate, on which the arms are engraved. To this
plate are attached four short chains of a similar make for
seals, Length, 1 in.; width, 13 in.
The crest of the Cromivell family was a demi lion holding
aring in the paw, but the Protector changed the ring for
the handle of a tilting spear, as seen on the banner used at
his funeral; this with the initials identifies it as the crest
of Oliver Cromwell, and also the coat of arms,
There is every reason to suppose, from the appearance of
the relic, that it was used by Cromwell, from 1625 until his
death in 1658. Lapy FE.tows.
No. 7,773. A pendent enseigne or reliquary, consisting
of a cylindrical portion of an arm bone, which measures
about two inches in length by one inch in diameter,
and is mounted in a framework or fregio, formed of
three hoops of gold, set with gems, and_ elaborately
enriched with translucent enamels of the richest colours.
The bone appears in the interval of these decorations ; at
each extremity of the cylinder is a convex circular plate,
exquisitely enamelled, attached by a hinge, so as to close
the open end of the piece of bone, and forming the lid of a
small receptacle, in which a scented pastille was enclosed,
probably as a caution against any unpleasant odour from
the relic. Upon the cylinder is affixed, on a richly jewelled
base, a crucifix, with figures of the Virgin and St. John.
The figures are in full relief (lavoro di piastra), the garments
and all details elaborately enamelled; on the reverse of the
cross appear the emblems of the Passion, and beneath isa
medallion, delicately painted, representing the Fall in
Paradise. To the upper side of the fregio, ending the
cylinder, are also attached two chains, richly jewelled at
intervals, uniting in an arched ornament at top, set with
diamonds and rubies, and having a ring by which the jewel
might be suspended. To the lower side of the cylinder it
appears that three pendants, now lost, were attached. This
reliquary is perhaps unique in the beauty of the varied hues
of the enamels, for the most part translucent on relief, with
which it is everywhere enriched, and also in the perfection
of the skill of the goldsmith. It is probably of Italian
workmanship, and may be assigned to the commencement
of the 16th century. It presents an admirable exemplifica-
tion of the processes employed in the Javori de minuteria,

No. 7,825. The “ Limerick crozier,” a tall silver-gilt pas-
toral staff of admirable workmanship. This remarkable
specimen of Gothic metal-work consists of a hollow staff
of silver-gilt, terminating in an iron ferule, and crowned
by an elaborate head, which is a very fine example of
tabernacle-work of the early part of the 15th century.
This crozier may be compared, without disadvantage, to that
of William of Wykeham, No. 3,212, and to the mace of
St. Andrew’s College, its date being about midway between
the two; it is hexagonal in plan, and consists of two stages
rising from an angular knop enriched with six lozenge-
shaped projections, on the surface of each of which is the sacred
monogram in Gothic letters of the time, on a dark blue
translucent enamel ground. About four inches beneath is
a smaller knop, the six angles jewelled, and the following
inscription in small characters beautifully relieved on enamel
grounds alternately red and blue :—
Me fieri fecit || corneli odeaigh || eps limiricens’ || acdoi
M°cecerxviili t(et) consecracionis || sue anno xviii ||.
SECTION 38.—MISCELLANEOUS OBJECTS. 685
Three bands of ornaments, a graceful running pattern of roses
with buds and leaves originally enamelled in preen and
blue, occupy the portion of’ the staff between the hexagonal
knops. The first stage of tabernacle work consists of six
canopicd niches, with statuettes, explained by Bp. Milner *
to be those of the “ B. Trinity, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Patrick,
St. Munchin, who was the patron saint of Limerick, and
the Blessed Virgin ;” they rest on corbels, are each about
two inches high, and have pinnacled buttresses at either
side, which, as well as the canopies, are elaborately wrought.
The second stage consists also of six smaller and shal-
lower niches, having figures of female saints engraved and
enamelled on a background of translucent enamel alter-
nately blue and green. They appear to be St. Catherine,
St. Margaret, St. Ursula, (?) St. Bridget of Kildare, St.
Bridget of Swedent, with a chain, and St. John the Evan-
gelist. Gargoyles formed of grotesque animals project from
the buttresses between these niches. The curved head of
the staff is crowned by rich crocketting of vine leaves,
of very admirable design and workmanship; it is set along
the sides with pearls, and enamelled with a wreath of roses
and leaves in blue and green. The curve is supported
by the emblematic figure of a pelican “in her piety,”
and is occupied by a throned figure of the B. Virgin before
whom kneels the angel Gabriel; between these figures is
a ewer-shaped vessel, in which probably were placed the
lilies. Above this, from an enamelled socket, has been sus-
pended a dove, now lost. The staff is divided by circlets of
Gothic foliated cresting into three portions, and the surface
completely cbvered by beautiful chased patterns of inter-
lacing bands, with vine leaves, &c., on a matted ground;
the pattern varying in each division. The “ crozier” weighs
about 10 lbs., and it is indeed remarkable that so splendid
a monument cf the skill of a goldsmith of the 15th century
should have escaped the many vicissitudes of its troubled
country. Height 6 ft. 7 in.

has been enriched with an elaborate cresting of vine leaves
along its outer edge. The interspaces on either side are
now occupied by a foliated ornament composed of pearls
laid down over foil. Round the base of the mitre is the
following inscription, in letters of the period, on ground
covered with blue, green, and purple translucent enamel ;
three portions are lost :
+ Me + fieri + fecit + Cornelius + O Deaygh +
episcopus + + anno + Domini + mlli°? +
+ +
Above the hinged band is engraved in similar characters,—
Thomas + O Carryd + artifex + faciens (sic).
Below the apex of the mitre, in the front, is the following
inscription, written on vellum, in the form of a Maltese cross,
and covered with a crystal cut to the same shape, the angles
set with pearls :— :
Hoc signi crucis erit in celo.
At the other side, similarly placed and protected, is the
following, continuing the meaning of the former :—
dic (?) diis ad iudicandi venerit.
The first word of the response should be “ Cum,” these
being the versicle and response in the Roman Breviary as
well as that of Salisbury, which was accepted in Ireland.
At either side, near the base of the central band or style
of the mitre, is a small niche or tabernacle; one contains a
statuette of the Virgin and Child, the other a kneeling
bishop; the lower band is also set with small roses of
repoussé work, and round the settings of some of the jewels
are angular compartments of engraved Gothic foliage.
The infule or pendent ornaments at present attached to
the mitre are merely to replace the ancient pieces; upon
them, however, are two ancient cabochon crystals, and two
small ornaments of translucent enamel, one with the emblem
e a hare pursued by a hound, the other with a winged
ion. :
This mitre, the mitra pretiosa, which a bishop was direc-
ted to have in addition to two others of lesser dignity and
value, is the only one of its kind existing in this country,
that of William of Wykeham being merely a number of
fragments; it is a most important monument of ecclesias-
tical antiquity, and as a work of art is the more interesting
from being the production of a native goldsmith. The
same may, in all probability, be said for the crozier, made
for the same bishop, and, no doubt, about the same time.

No, 7,840. Chair of state, in wrought and chiselled iron,
presented by the city of Augsburgh to the Emperor Ru-
dolph II., about the year 1574. The elaborate design of
the chair and the profusion of ornament with which it ig
completely covered render it impossible to convey a very
distinct impression of its appearance without the aid of
engraving ; it may, however, be described as somewhat
resembling an antique curule seat, formed on four hollow
quadrangular supports of wrought iron; two of these rise
at the angles behind, so as to sustain a lofty back sur-
mounted by a pediment of three heights; the other two
make the arm rests in front, and beneath, the whole four
are curved and narrowed, so as to meet in a centre under
the seat. From this massive centre descends the fourfold
claw on which the chair rests; this is formed of similar
quadrangular framework shaped in a scroll form, with
pedestals for statuettes, and terminating in square feet or
bases, finished with grotesque masks.
The whole surface above and below is carved with orna-
ment of the most complicated character, surrounding me-
dallions with classical and other subjects ; four statuettes
with inscriptions, viz.: Ulysses, Penelope, Achilles, and
Briseida, remain on the base, and beneath the centre boss
are two female demi-figures, with long serpent tails, con-
voluted and ingeniously contrived to give additional
stability to the lower framework of the chair..
In the centre of the upper part of the back is the subject
viz., Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which gives its character
to the whole design of the work; the king is asleep in
a curtained bed, his crown and sceptre beside him, while
at the foot of the bed by the drawn curtains stands the
apparition of the gigantic figure of which he dreamt.
Behind is the scene of Daniel interpreting the dream

ment, Christ seated in glory, with the rainbow under his
feet, and the righteous and the wicked gathered before
him. The upper band across the back of the chair is occu-
pied with an elaborate representation of a Roman tri-
umph, the figures finished on both sides with surprising
skill. A lower and narrower band is also minutely worked
with a procession of numerous figures, appearing to repre-
sent a royal funeral. The subjects throughout seem con-
trived to refer to the interpretation of the king’s dream,
respecting the four monarchies, of the last of which, the Ro-
man, the artist was willing to regard the Emperor Rudolph
as the head ; his portrait bust occupies a small medallion
near the top of the chair beneath the arms of the city of
Augsburgh.
On the central knop beneath the seat is modestly engraved,
in a little cartouche, the name of the artist of this extraor-
dinary, and, as far as the writer knows, altogether unequalled
work in iron, “Thomas Ruker,”’ and on the other side, in a
similar cartouche, “Fecit anno, 1574.”

No. 7,843. Salt-cellar, in silver-gilt, with two small plaques
- of Limoges enamel inserted in the sides. This most beautiful
specimen of goldsmiths’ work of the French renaissance has,
notwithstanding its small dimensions and unusually delicate
and fragile character, descended to us in a singularly perfect
and unaltered state. It consists of a nearly cubical pedestal
of architectural design, somewhat resembling a classical
altar ; the dado or body of the pedestal has a base mould
_at bottom and cornice at top, both of the same profile
(forming at top a cymatium, reversed at bottom). It is
enriched with an elegant acanthus leaf produced by stamp-
ing ; at each angle of the dado is a slender detached circular
shaft, standing on an equally slender square pedestal, finished
with delicately wrought mouldings ; at top this is capped by
an elegant scroll console, terminating under the angle of the
cornice ; at bottom it rests on a foliated scroll, which forms
the upper part of a lion’s paw, serving to elevate the entire
piece on four feet : the hollow for the salt is on the summit ;
on it, however, fits an elaborate cover forming a low square
fascia, with stamped arabesque work, surmounted by a
projecting flat plinth or cornice, on which is formed in the
centre a low dome or cupola; this latter is admirably
enriched with repoussé scroll-work chiselled in the highest
relief, the triangles being engraved with arabesques. Four
sea-horses surmount these, and connect it with a vase in
jasper, finely surmounted by a small statuette of Neptune
with a trident. Two of the sides of the pedestal are filled
in with enamel plaques, and two with classical busts in the

is a beading of twenty-nine oval agates set round with
small pearls, and having a facetted garnet between
each. Round the neck is a belt of small carnelians
turquoises, and pearls ; and it may be worth noticing that
the red cement in the vacant socket from which one of these
carnelians has fallen retains an impression which shows that
the stone was an intaglio of so called Persepolitan work, and
had been fixed with the engraving (a rude representation
of an ostrich) downwards. This splendid and most re-

The painting is obviously the work of a good artist; the
designs are graceful, the colouring extremely rich, and the
handling free ; the three medallions occupy the sides of the
vase and are surrounded by salmon-coloured borders, united
by draped amorini heads ; gilding is freely used throughout;

the medallions bordered with gold and united by draped

is Italian in style, and appears to be of the 17th century;
the porcelain is less heavy and bluish than the preceding
vase, the glaze much thinner and more opaque ; the gilding
more perfect; but the general similarity of these vases in
size, form, painting, and in the peculiar pattern of the silver-
gilt tops, leads to the supposition that they were made as
companions, or at least one in imitation of the other, with
but little interval of date between them. This vase has a
silver-gilt scalloped edging round its base ; the finial of the
cover is lost; otherwise the cover resembles that of the

No. 7,914. Gold crucifix, ring, and string of amber and

near Horsham. :
In making some alterations in 1840 to the foundations of
a dwelling house situate on the site of Rusper Priory,
Sussex, a stout oak coffin was discovered very much de-
cayed, the lid and bottom very nearly pressed together. On
a careful search of the muddy deposit at the bottom of

the coffin, some human bones were discovered; a small
gold ring set with stones, with the finger bone on which
it was worn ; a gold crucifix, about twenty-six amber and
jet beads; a silver brooch, so much oxidized that it fell to
pieces; and the remains of what had once been a gilded
staff. It was, however, so completely decomposed that only
a black line of decayed matter remained, with the particles
of gold leaf about it. It has been suggested that this coffin
must have.contained the body of the prioress, and that this
was her official staff. R. H. Hurst, Esa.
No. 7,915. Gibeciére, or hawking pouch, lure, and gloves.
The pouch is beautifully embroidered, and attached to a
mount of silver-gilt, delicately enriched with enamelled
flowers and blackberries; the lure was originally furnished
with tufts.of feathers, so as to represent a pair of wings ;
the gloves ‘are richly embroidered. The design both of the
embroidery and the enamelled ornament presents a branch-
ing pattern, formed of the blackberry im fruit, and the
misletoe, possibly with some symbolical intention, or
appropriate to the autumnal season in which the diversion
of falconry was most in vogue. The date of these costly
and picturesque appliances of ancient field sports may be
assigned to the later years of the 16th century. They have
been preserved at Wroxton Abbey, Oxfordshire, as family
relics. The gibeciére, or hawking pouch, is very curiously
formed, with numberless little receptacles for the jesses, the-
lunes, and .tyrets, the hood, creance; the bewits, and the
sonorous bells of Milan and Dordrecht, with the other
requisites formerly used in falconry. These objects are in
the most perfect preservation, and have been most admirably
portrayed by Mr. Henry Shaw in the “Catalogue of An-
tiquities,” exhibited at Edinburgh, 1856, p. 158. Similar
pouches appear in the representation of James VI. (King of
Scots) with his attendants, engaged in hawking, given in
the “Jewell for Gentrie,” 1614, and copied in Strutt’s
“ Horda,”-vol. iii, pl. xix. (Extracted from the “ Catalogue
of Antiquities exhibited at Edinburgh, 1856.)

No. 7,918. Silver box in the form of an egg, of exquisitely
pierced work, representing birds and scrolls, lined throughout

to hold the “bezoar” stone, a substance found chiefly in
the intestines of land animals, and which was supposed to
be an antidote to poisons, epilepsy, and almost all diseases.
Those which were most esteemed came from the east, and
the most highly valued of these were obtained from the
stomach of the Capru Zigagrus, or wild goat of Persia. Early
16th century. 24 in. high; 2 in. wide. Miss LEveErt.

No. 8,018. Situla or two-handled pail for holy water in

It is impossible here to give in full detail the description
of this elaborate piece of work. It has been described by
Dr, J. Kantzeler, of Aix-la-Chapelle, and more completely
by Prof. Westwood in the Literary Gazette (1860). The
upper band of subjects, 24 in. deep, contains Christ washing
the Disciples’ feet, the Betrayal, Judas receiving the money,
the Crucifixion, the Death of Judas, and the Soldiers at the
Tomb. The lower band, of nearly the same width, contains
the Visit to the Tomb, the Descent into Hell, Christ
appearing to the two Marys, Christ appearing in the midst
of the Eleven, the Incredulity of St. Thomas. Of these
subjects the last three are doubtful. At top and, bottom
are narrow bands of closely written’ inscriptions; these
are given in the notice above alluded] to, and are believed
to refer to Otho III. (Y87-1002). The sockets for the handle
are formed of masks.

No. 8,050. The “ Hunterston ” brooch.
An annular brooch of admirable workmanship, of the
same general form as the “Tara” brooch (No. 874). The
massive flattened disk, which is as usual broadly expanded
for about one-third of its diameter, appears to be of white
bronze, and is divided into partitioned compartments, filled
with delicate gold filigree of lacertine patterns, on a ground
of very thin gold plates; some spaces are enriched with
granulated work, resembling that of the ancient Greek gold-
smiths ; others with minute twisted and plaited ornaments
formed of wire, alternately smooth and granulated ; the
angular head is similarly ornamented. Several circular
bosses and quadrangular sockets project from the disk, and
three from the head of the pin; of these, some are still
occupied by pieces of brown amber, and in the centre of
one of these amber bosses remains the ornamented head of
the rivet which secured it in its position. The inner and
outer edges of the brooch are deeply chased with interlaced
SecTion 39.—AppENDA, Parr II. 713
patterns, terminating in the usual monsters’ heads, The
reverse of the brooch has four compartments filled with
interlaced ornament, overlaid with gold; the flat surface
between these is scored with runes; a portion of the acus
or pin is lost.
The following account of the finding of this beautifully
preserved brooch is given by Mr. Albert Way in his valuable
“ Catalogue of Antiquities, &c. exhibited at Edinbureh in
1856,” where also is an engraving representing the back
and front and several details of the brooch : It was “found
in 1830 on the estates of Robert Hunter, Esq., in the
parish of West Kilbride, Ayrshire, in quarrying stones near
the sea-shore. It lay near the surface, at the foot of a cliff
between which and the sea there is a level piece of ground,
traditionally reputed to be the scene of a conflict shortly
before the battle of Largs, in 1263, when the fleet of King
Haco was dispersed, and the Norsemen driven from
Scotland.”
The work of the brooch is similar to the Celtic examples
from Ireland, and its date may be about the 11th century,
but it has been assigned to an earlier period. The runes
have been variously explained.* Diameter, 4,2, in.

No. 8,054. Louis XIV. (1637-1715.) By Petitot.
Louis XIV., afterwards styled Le Grand Monarque, son
of Louis XIII. and Anne d’Autriche, was crowned in 1648.
During his minority the Government was carried on by a
regency under Anne d’Autriche and Cardinal Richelieu. In
1660 he married Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV. of
Spain. His long reign is perhaps one of the most eventful
in the annals of the history of Europe.
No. 8,055. Maria Theresa, Queen of France. By Petitot.
Maria Theresa, Infanta of Spain, daughter of Philip IV.
of Spain, was married to Louis XIV. in 1660.

Francois Miche] Letellier, Marquis de Louvois, was for
many years the celebrated prime minister of Louis XIV.,
whose service he entered at the early age of 14, under the
tutelage of his father, then secretary at war. In 1662 he
-married Anne de Souvre, Marquise de Courtauvaux, and in
1666 was appointed to the ministry of war, which post he
held up to the day of his death, 1691. During his tenure
of office all the chief campaigns of the great Turenne and
the most brilliant ones of Condé were carried on. During
the greater portion of this period the great Colbert was
minister of finance. By Louvois’ influence, the Edict of
Nantes was revoked, a measure which dealt a fatal blow
to the interests of agriculture and commerce in France.

No. 8,074. A green silk chasuble, cut down from its
original size, though still measuring 4 ft. 94 in. in length,
and 3 ft. 1 in. in width. It is figured with vases, birds,
and beasts in light crimson, and words here and there,
affecting to be Saracenic. Sicilian, 14th century. All old
silken tissues showing animals or birds in their designs,
especially with inscriptions, real or pretended, of Arabic
letters, are particularly rare and valuable.

crimson and green velvet raised on a gold ground, after an
elegant design. The orphrey behind is a simple stripe,
measuring 5% in, and woven in gold. On it is figured our

3 ft. 104 in, lately much, but properly, repaired. This
gorgeous vestment is of a rich cloth of gold, diapered with
a deep-piled blue velvet, so as to show the favourite pine

34 in. deep, are alternate red, green, white, and blue, and
those on the sides and round the sleeves are much narrower.
The two tassels hanging on the back from the shoulders are
very singular by their having a large round ball of rock
crystal or glass, and such long flakes of white, red, and deep
brown silken threads. The orphreys or stripes down both
sides, before and behind, are 2} in. broad, and woven in
gold charged with squares of flower-bearing trees and

employed for liturgical purposes. It is composed of squares,
figured with quadrupeds, seemingly harts, birds, and flowers.
15th century, German.
No. 8,081. A very curious, and, because so broad, a rare
kind of maniple, a liturgical ornament described in

gold with four-legged animals, all with human faces, but

a tissue of gold, figured with small beasts, birds, and
floriated ornaments ; bordered, on one edge, by a blue stripe,

lions’ heads amid them, and imitative sentences in Saracenic

No. 8,088. The linen napkin for a crozier; a very great
liturgical curiosity, as this and another are the only ones
known, the employment of them having been a long time
left off. It is of very fine linen, measuring 3 ft. and made
in a tent-like shape, but hung closed. Its top, like a cap, is
embroidered in many coloured silks with the gammadion
pattern. The silken cord, with its well platted large round
knobs, by which it was strung to the upper part of the
crozier, is still quite perfect ; and an account of. this orna-
ment may be seen in “The Church of our Fathers,” t. ii,
p. 210.
No. 8,089. Another piece of the “ Opus araneum,” or
spider-web, very likely the oldest as well as one of the very
finest specimens known of that sort of needlework. It
measures 9 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft. 4 in. At the lower end it shows
an angel playing on a violin, six of the apostles with their
emblems, and another angel playing the guitar. Higher up,
within a quatrefoil, are the B. V. Mary and St. Elizabeth
standing amid lilies, and about to embrace, and around them
is,—
« -L Magnificat anima mea Dominum ;”
and above, a kneeling angel, holding in each hand a bell,
which he is ringing, while other kneeling angels are in-
censing with thuribles. Other saints, among whom is the
British saint Ursula—one of the patron saints of Cologne—
are figured, as well as the other six apostles, thus making
this piece of needlework, quite an artistic and hagiological
production. Middle 14th century ; Rhenish.

child in her lap, and outstretching his hands to St. Joseph,
who holds his lily-tipped rod in one hand, while in the
other he carries a basket of doves. At the four corners
are kneeling angels robed as deacons, and bearing flowers,
chiefly lilies, in their hands. The under side is prettily

No. 8,101. The “Lynn” cup, a tall standing cup and
cover in silver-gilt, enriched with translucent enamel ; the
slender stem springs from a shallow circular foot, edged
below with a flat expanded base of pentagonal plan, and with
a wavy outline.
The knob of the stem is also somewhat pentagonal, and
has five acorn-shaped projections. The goblet is divided
into five compartments by ribs terminating in foliated orna-
ment. These compartments are each occupied by figures,
one above the other, relieved on grounds of dark blue,
green, and purple translucent enamel. The figures are silver,
1a costumes of the 14th century, portions of their dresses
being enamelled, with sprays of star-shaped flowers and
leaves in silver rising from the ground at each side of them
SECTION 39.—ADDENDA, Part IL 723
Figures of similar character occupy the five compartments
of the foot, and on the expanded base are dogs chasing
foxes and hares, also grounded with enamel.
The flat cover is surrounded by a circlet of Gothic foliated
crests, and is now crowned by a finial terminating in a
sharp point; its surface is also divided into five compart-
ments, in each of which is a male or female figure, with
implements of the chase.
This beautiful cup is commonly known as “ King
John’s,” and has been said to have been given by that
king to the town of Lynn, but its date is long subsequent
to his reign; it does not, however, require any fictitious
interest, being one of the most remarkable specimens exist-
ing in this country of the work of the period, the middle of
the 14th century, to which it belongs. It has had the mis-
fortune to be five times repaired, as stated by inscriptions
of various dates beneath its foot ; these allude to its being
re-enamelled ; happily, however, on that point the workmen
overstated their tasks, as the enamel, or at least a great part
of it, is undoubtedly of the same date as the rest of the
work.
It is engraved in Delamotte’s “ Examples of Art Work-
manship.” Height, 15 in.; diameter of cover, 43 in.

Note on SEcTION 8, ECCLESIASTICAL VESTMENTS, &c.
By the Very Rev. Dr. Rock.
For the genealogist, the lawyer, the herald, the historian,
the reader of mediaeval poetry, such of these old liturgical
garments as bear armorial charges embroidered upon them
will have a peculiar value, and a more than ordinary
interest. These emblazonries not only recal the names of
persons bound up for ever with this lana’s history, or bring to
mind some wild but graceful legend, like that of the fabled
swan—still borne by the baronial house of Stafford as its
supporter—shown in the fine chasuble No. 3,055, but may
again serve, as they once before have served, to furnish the
one lost link in a broken pedigree, or unravel an entangled
point before a law-tribunal. Towards the end of the
fourteenth century a memorable suit was begun at West-
minster, by Richard Lord Scrope, in detence of his right to
the arms “ azure a bend or,” against the assumption of
them by Sir Robert Grosvenor. Among the witnesses: on
that occasion were many persons of eminence. - Sir Simon,
parson of Wensley, whose fine grave-brass, still in that
church, is given by the brothers Waller in their beautiful
work, brought forward in court an alb—a long linen kind
of gown, worn by priests at, mass—the apparels to which
were embroidered with the Scropes’ arms “ azure a bend
or” of very old work. The abbot of St. Agatha’s, founded
by the Scropes, near Richmond, Yorkshire, deposed that the
same shield was figured upon altar-frontals, upon vest-
ments, and upon a corporax-case of silk, all belonging to
that abbey-church. Geoffrey Chaucer, the poet, when
sworn and examined on behalf of Sir Richard Scrope, said
that all his life-time he had seen the above-mentioned arms
Section 40.—Varrous ADDENDA. 733
in banners, glass, paintings, and vestments, and that they
were commonly called the arms of Scrope.
The lover of natural history, too, will find that one among
the earliest instanves—perhaps the very first—of the phea-
sant being figured in any art-work, is to be seen in this
Exhibition, and upon the silk ground of a mass vestment
the chasuble, No. 1,055. ;

No. 128. Ring formed of hoof and surrounded by a thin
band of silver; on the bezel is set a crapaudine or toad-
stone, mounted in silver. Fourteenth century.. Found
near Richmond, Yorkshire.
The “ toadstone ” is in reality a brown stone, and
which according to popular belief was supposed to be
engendered in the head of a toad, a fallacy long since
exploded.
Nichols in his “ Lapidary ” says, “ Some say this stone is
found in the head of-an old toade; others say that the old
toade must be laid upon the cloth that is red and it will
belch it up, or otherwise not: you may give a like credit
to both these reports, for as like truth is to be found in
them as may possibly be. Witness Anselmus Boetius in
Lib. 2, in the chapter on this stone, who sayth that to try
this experiment in his youth he took an old toade and laid
it upon a red cloth, and watched it a whole night to see it
belch up his stone; but after his long and tedious watchful
expectation he found the old toade in the same posture to
gratify the great pangs of his whole night’s restlesness,”
No. 129. Ring of the hoof of an ass, incased in gold.
A ring of the hoof of an ass was considered very efficacious
against epilepsy.
Quattro-cento and Renaissance.
No. 130. Gold ring set with an opal, @ griffes. The
hoop of this ring is most exquisitely pierced and chased;
the delicacy of the work is the more remarkable as the

en cabochon: The hoop is pierced and chased, the tracery
being formed of separate pieces rivetted on.
No. 132. Gold ring formed of a series of diamonds in

trived as to represent a snake.
No. 133. Silver signet set with a carnelian intaglio of
the period. ‘The hoop is very delicately nielloed.
Nos. 134-40. Seven silver rings, bearing on the bezels,

sleeves and clasping, so as to represent the “fede.” These

rings are Florentine, and were used by young ladies to
give as presents to their inamorati.
Some would-be archeologists have discovered that these
heads are intended for that of Lucretia—such as referred
to by Shakspere in Twelfth Night—
“Soft! by your leave, wax! and the impressare her
Lucrece with which she uses to seal !”
But the bezels are smooth and could yield no “impres-
sure” of a “ Lucrece.”
No. 141, Leaden ring with the head of the Emperor Charles
V. and his Empress. This ring may be used as a whistle.
No, 142. Copper ring, the bezel formed of a full-faced head
of Medusa. This ring is hollow and may be used as a squirt.

graved on them -MAZUL - TOUB -—God be with you, or
Good luck to you.
No. 149. Signet ring, a rare example, set with a jacinth
en cabochon. The device would appear intended for a vine
leaf in a modius surrounded by the legend in distinct
Hebrew characters, Helulu Bar Coasah—Helel son of
Coasah. It is of the fifth or sixth century, and furnishes
one of the very earliest instances known of the use of
modern Hebrew characters.
No. 150. Indian rings and Cufic rings. The legends on
the Cufic rings have not yet been deciphered.

[These papal rings, of which the present collection forms
a series, wanting, however, that of the reign of Martin V. (in
Mr. Waterton’s collection) and that of the reign of Sixtus IV.
(in the South Kensington Museum), are believed to have
been presented by the popes as marks of regard to bishops
and mitred abbots on occasion of their visiting Rome; they
are therefore found in duplicate (vide page 621). They all,
as far as it is known at present, belong to a period of about
a century and a half; including the whole of the fifteenth
century, and they gradually increase in size from the first
here exhibited, which is of moderate dimensions, to the
unwieldy bulk of that of the reign of Innocent VIIL, which
measures 23 in. across the hoop, to the projection of the
massive bezel; their use seems to have ceased in the
beginning of the sixteenth century.]— R. H. 8.8.

FurtHer Nores on EARLY Porcenarn Vases (No. 7,901
and 7,902), AND on “ I[pnrrt Deux ” Wares.
By J. C. Rozsinson.
The two very remarkable and singularly elegant pieces
of porcelain previously described, pp. 699 and 700, are
believed to be the only specimens as yet known of theit
kind. They are entirely unlike any other wares, and are
obviously (as European porcelain) of unusually carly date;
both are apparently decorated by the same excellent painter,
obviously an artist of a far higher grade than the usual
average of porcelain painters. The piece No. 7,901, was
sent by Lord Stamford, with other contributions, to the
Manchester Exhibition in 1857, where it immediately
attracted the attention of the writer and Mr. A. W. Franks,
as a specimen of entirely novel character; shortly after-
wards the writer discovered, amongst the rich treasures
of porcelain at Windsor Castle, the companion speci-
men. Lord Stamford’s piece has a character of earlier
date than the Windsor one, but it is very obvious that
both are of the same origin, even the beautiful silver cover
being obviously made by the same hand. ‘The ware is a
rather coarse opaque, blueish-grey porcelain, by no means
of fine quality; in fact, these pieces are in many respects
technically defective, and have quite the appearance of
early tentative essays in the manufacture of porcelain. It
is not easy to determine whether they are of the soft
or hard body, probably the former. That they are of
Italian origin is abundantly proved by the style of decora-
tion; and in the writer’s opinion, the date of their
production cannot be later than circa 1670-80, and may be
considerably earlier. Everything tends to show that they
were decorated by a goldsmith enameller, and not by a
practised ceramic artist; their decorative enrichments, even
in the peculiar enamel colours employed, which are of an
unusual and peculiar character, more akin to the watch-case
and bijouterie enamels of the school of Toutin or Bordier,
than to those of the porcelain technique.

« Henri Deux” WARE.
The expectations entertained latterly by connoisseurs,
both here and in France, that both the place of manufac-
ture and the name of the author of this ware would sooner
or later be revealed, seems to have been already realized.
A pamphlet (dated 8th December 1862) in the shape of a
letter addressed to M. Riocreux, of the Imperial Ceramic
Museum of Sévres, by M. Benjamin Fillon, has just appeared,
in which the writer states that this pottery was made at
Oiron, near Thouars (Deux Sevres’, and that two artists
concerned in its production, namely, Frangois Cherpentier,
a potter, and Jean Bernart or Bernard, librarian and secre-
tary to Heléne de Hangest-Genlis, widow of Artus Gouffier.
After the death of Heléne d’Hangest, in 1537, the two
artists passed into the service of Claude Gouffier, her gon,
“Grand Ecuyer de France,” who was also a celebrated
amateur and patron of the arts.) The wars of the Hugue-
nots, which desolated the province of Poitou, were, accord-
ing to M. Fillon, the cause of the cessation of the
manufacture.
In reference to the plateau No. 1,218 (in the collection
belonging to the museum) M. Fillon states that the arms
upon it are those of Guillaume Gouffier, third son of the
Admiral de Bonnivet, whilst he was a Knight of Malta;
that is to say, before his elevation to the episcopal see
of Beziers, in 1547. The general style of this piece also
indicates the period of transition (1537-40), which connects
the pieces of the primitive style with those executed after
the death of Heléne d’Hangest.
M. Fillon promises to communicate the documents on
which his assertions are founded in a forthcoming publica-
tion.—(Jan. 1863.)
