The Collections - Object of the Month March 2002 - Japanware Cup by Williamson & Sons, Worcester. Embroidered Casket, 1650 - 1680 (Accession Number - 1972.54) The embroidered casket dates from between 1650 to 1680. It display an immensely rich collection of colours, materials, stitches and imagery. Unfortunately we do not know the origins of this casket. The fact that it has survived is no doubt due to a high regard for the work of an ancestor. The fashion for small needlework pictures flowered in the Reign of Charles I, flourished during the Commonwealth and the Restoration of Charles II and withered by the end of the seventeenth century. Subject Matter The female characters in the seventeenth century costume depict the five senses, a popular subject in embroidery of this period and type.
A lion and leopard, emblematic of courage and fidelity, are seated beneath an oak tree in the English country landscape. Sources of the Designs The design of the casket would not have been devised by the needleworker herself. Materials and Techniques Use of the Casket The Maker.

Word and Image In recent years, scholars in many disciplines have recognized that the literally thousands of engravings, wood blocks, and etchings in emblem books constitute an unparalleled source not only for the study of daily life of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries but also for extraordinary insights into what the intellectuals of the times viewed as a necessary adjunct to heraldry, social life, politics, philosophy, and moral behavior.
The English emblem books scanned for this project are cultural artifacts frequently used in the analysis of reading practices, printing history, Elizabethan popular culture, the use of allegory, and the relationship of word to image. An emblem combines a picture and text for the striking presentation of a message. BPI1700: Database Browser. Search object image. Search object details. Registration numbers The most common type of Museum number begins with the year of acquisition. The database standardises these numbers in the form, for example: 1887,0708.2427 (year: comma: block of four numbers - usually representing a month and day: full-stop and final number). The final number can be of any length and may be followed by another full-stop and a sub-number. In some cases the same number is shared by two or more objects across departments.
In some of these cases a prefix has been added before a number (e.g. Oc1946,1027.5). If the number you are entering has come from an old catalogue it could appear in the form 1887-7-8-2427. In the case of some two-dimensional works from Asia and the Middle East a full stop may need to be inserted into the final number. The second most common type of Museum number takes the form of one or two letters followed by two numbers.
