Jatkoin kaivelua ja totesin "Esineosaamista @V_and_A: suomalainen ryijy on "carpet"". Kokoelmissaan olevat kolme ryijyä (tämä, tämä ja tämä) muistan löytäneeni vanhastakin kokoelmaselaimesta, mutta en harmistusta väärästä nimestä. Nyt huomasin napin, josta saattoi antaa palautetta ja annoin palaa.
Vauhtiin päästyäni kiinnitin myös huomiota siihen, että "messinkihinkkaukset" (brass rubbing) Suomesta olivat selvästi Pyhän Henrikin sarkofagista, mutta se ei näkynyt verkon esinetiedoista ollenkaan.
Molempiini valitusvirsiini tuli vastaukset tänä maanantaina (vihjaa sisäisestä vaatimuksesta max. kahden viikon vastausaikaan). Tietenkin erittäin kohteliaita. Kopsaan tähän muistoksi siitä, miten voisi osata kirjoittaa.
Ryijyistä:
I’m writing to thank you for your comments on the catalogue entries on Explore the Collections for the three ryijys or rugs in the V&A textiles collection.
I have amended the records on our database to include your helpful explanation of the purpose of these rugs and the amendments should show as updated online tomorrow. As you will see, I have left the term ‘carpet’ as an alternative description to help with broader online searches.
It is very helpful to have this kind of information to help improve the records as often we only have the details that came when the objects were acquired many decades ago and it is an ongoing task to research and update the catalogue.
Thank you again for taking the trouble to get in touch.
Kuvista:
Many thanks for your enquiry and you are quite right, these are rubbings from the original sarcophagus in Nousiainen. This is recorded in our register of 1917 but is not on the new cataloguing system yet. I will update it now so the change will appear on the new collections website within 48 hours. They are over 5 sheets (E.1678-1917 to E.1682-1917) and were given by a Dr M.R. James. I wonder if that was Montague Rhodes James, the classic ghost story writer and medieval scholar from Cambridge University in the late 19th, early 20th century. I know he visited Scandinavia and set various stories in Sweden and Demark so it would be quite exciting if he had made these himself whilst visiting Finland. I will have to wait til I am back in the building next month to look into that as I only have access to so much information when working from home! I will also make a note of the fact there is a replica in your National Museum if I can find its object number.
