Antiquities from the City of Benin and from Other Parts of West Africa in the British Museum
III.— On a panel of tapestry of about the year 1400 and probably of English origin
The piece of tapestry that forms the subject of this communication has but the shortest of histories (pl. VII). It formed part of the Heckscher Collection sold at Messrs. Christie's in 1898; and, attracted by the interesting character of the subject and the admirable preservation and brilliant colouring of the fabric itself, I secured it soon after the sale as it was on the point of going abroad. The Heckscher Collection was brought together in V…
IX.— On a Bronze Object of the Late-Celtic Period recently added to the British Museum
Among a large number of weapons and other objects recently transferred from the Tower armouries to the British Museum is one of the curious stirruplike objects of bronze familiar as being found in Late-Celtic burials with the remains of chariots or horses. Unfortunately it has no history
XI.— On a Silver Sassanian Bowl of about the year 400 A. D., found in the NW. Provinces of India
The bowl I have the honour to lay before, the Society was sent to me by an Indian correspondent, and I made up my mind at once that it should be secured for the British Museum. On my showing it to my friend Mr. Max Bonn, he was kind enough to offer to present it, and at this moment it is in process of being laid before the Trustees as a gift, through the intermediation of the National Art Collections Fund (pl. XXXV)
II.— On a triptych of the Twelfth Century from the Abbey of Stavelot in Belgium, containing portions of the True Cross
From time to time the Society has the privilege of examining and publishing important examples of mediaeval art brought to its notice by the Fellows. Of these a fair number are fortunately in the safe keeping of museums or corporate bodies in this country, and such are mainly the most important. I have in my mind treasures like the relics of the Black Prince at Canterbury [would that they were better cared for!], the crozier of William of Wykeham…
XI. — Note on a Gold Standing Cup in the possession of the Duke of Portland, K.G
Gold plate is of such rare occurrence that I have thought it would be agreeable to the Society to see the very handsome example that the Duke of Portland has been good enough to send up at my request from Welbeck for exhibition. (Plate LXIV.) The metal is evidently of high quality, and the form is by no means inelegant for the period at which it was made. The bowl is beaten into a shell-like form, with elaborate projecting scroll-work enamelled a…
VI.— Notes on a Standing Cup of silver gilt with the Arms of William the Silent, the property of the Earl of Yarborough, F.S.A
The cup exhibited by Lord Yarborough, and figured in the annexed plates, is a fine example of the silversmith's work of the time, and is of very special interest as having belonged to one of the most striking characters in modern history. The description of it is as follows
VII.— On a Saracenic Goblet of Enamelled Glass of medieval date
During the past five or six years a number of interesting examples of enamelled glass have been sent to Europe from various sites in the nearer East, the principal localities near which they are said to have been found being Damascus, a spot in the neighbourhood of Aleppo, and at Koos and Fostat in Egypt. One of these, the subject of the present paper, has come into my hands for the British Museum collection, through the liberality of Miss Alice …
X.— Further Excavations in a Cemetery of South Saxons on High Down, Sussex
The first exploration of this cemetery in the autumn of 1893, of which I had the honour of laying an account before the Society was of so interesting a character that it was felt both by Mr. Edwin Henty and myself that it would be desirable to ascertain whether other graves did not exist within the limits of the ancient British camp. With this view the examination of the adjoining ground was made in the autumn of last year, and the results not on…
XVIII.— On Excavations in a Cemetery of South Saxons on High Down, Sussex
In the autumn of 1892, Mr. Edwin Henty, in planting trees on his property on High Down Hill, in the parish of Ferring, in Sussex, came upon a number of graves, which, from the character of the relics found in them, were readily determined to be of Saxon origin. Mr. Henty has carefully preserved all that he could secure, but from the unfortunate accident that the men employed in the work were strangers, and not his own workmen, there is reason to …
XIX.— On an ancient Mexican Head-piece, coated with Mosaic
It is comparatively seldom that relics of antiquity from the American continent are laid before the Society. There is one good reason for this, in the impossibility, in most cases, of assigning any date to American antiquities. We may be able, from internal evidence, to show that an object was made after the discovery of the continent, and in that case it belongs to the beginning of modern times. If, on the other hand, there is reason for placing…
