Dr. Tancred Borenius has already described and illustrated a number of the medieval enamels in the Pitt-Rivers Museum at Farnham, Dorset, and I have now an opportunity of adding to the published series a crosier-head in the same collection, permission to do so having been very kindly given to me by Captain Pitt-Rivers and Mr. Trelawney Dayrell-Reed, Curator of the Museum. The crosier-head was formerly in the collection of Mr. J. F. Hutton, of Manchester, and was purchased by General Pitt-Rivers in 1890; it was at that time an incongruous and ill-fitting assortment of pieces, consisting of modern metal-work of two kinds, the knop of a fifteenth-century silver-gilt chalice, a fourteenth-century copper-gilt hexagonal collar of the architectural type, and the thirteenth-century enamelled crook illustrated here (pl. lxx, 1 ). As the photograph shows, the crook has now been freed from these later additions, and it can henceforth take its place without encumbrances as the only example in this country of the very beautiful French enamelled crosier-heads that we may call the ‘flowering volute’ type.
