Intrinsically, however, the superb necklace which Mr. Harrison has pre s'ented to the Museum is Of much greater value. It consists Of a light gold chain with. Twenty-eight small rubies, emeralds and diamonds, from which depend two large and Wonderful beetles. The closed wings Of these are each composed Of one large ribbed emerald. The heads are large diamonds. The bodies and the legs are studded with small diamonds set in gold. They probably were originally long pendent earrings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 16: October, 1918 The collection of native pieces of this pottery at the Museum in Memorial Hall is undoubtedly the best in the world, and offers all the inspiration which can be locally obtained. Such scattered examples of this ware produced in other countries as may be found in various places in America, will serve their part in the revival and establishment of this pottery, but the real quickening power is in the design which the simple process and composition inspired for the over - lay of the two colored clays, the ease of execution and the natural features in the manipulation of the medium, all tend to suggest various plays of thought and fancy, not offered by the more subtle and difficult forms of pottery making. The early Pennsylvania settlers were practical folk, and the aim of their potters was to supply the actual needs of an unimaginative people, but those who undertake to revive, carry on and develop this ware now have a much greater altitude and a richer field of purpose and result.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum: October, 1915 The next in point of age probably is that represented in no. 2. This also shows true linen-fold paneling. In the center runs a carved piece with female and crowned male figures. Three pieces are plainly Elizabethan in period, as shown by the elaborate ribbon or interlaced strap and rosette design, although the style also appears in France. Number 3 is a fine example of the style prevailing in the second half of the sixteenth century. Figures of a unicorn and of a boar occupy the two upper panels. Another of this group is more elaborately carved with all - over finely wrought design of closely interlaced strap and rosette work. In the third piece of the group, the same or similar design is carved on five broad bands divided by narrower plain spaces. A fine entire chest of this period, the front of which is richly carved in the same style, serves to illustrate the nature of the exhibit. Another, similar in design but of obviously later date, also is interesting as showing the early introduction of the Renaissance cherub - as well as the use of the carved moulding as a frame to the panels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 8: January, April, July and October, 1910 There was a fashion in mummy wrapping, as in other things, the length and breadth of the strips varied according to period and taste. In early times after linen was used, the dead were enshrouded in sheets, then with the new Empire came the fashion of bandages, and as early as the reign of King Amenhotep III. Texts were inscribed on the linen either in hieroglyphics or hieratic (cursive) characters, often adorned with vignettes from the Book of the Dead. After the XXVI Dynasty, that is, B. C. 670, only hieratic texts appear, With a vignette at the top of each column, and the bandages are often very coarse in texture In Greek ti111'.es, after B. C. 323, the outer bandages are decorated with gods, etc., in gaudy colors. Hundreds of yards of bandages were sometimes used. Soine are ended with a fringe, and some have selvedges. Their length _varies from three feet to thirteen feet, and their width from two to four and a half. The linen industry continued to be prosperously carried on in Egypt until the twelfth century of our era, but by this time the elaborate embroideries and tapestry borders which interest us at present had been evolved, had reached their highest artistic level and entered upon their decadent stage. 5.
