The Germanic Museum has recently acquired from Mr. F. W. Miller, of Providence, R. I., a collection of some 80 casts of fictile ivories, tinted in the colors of the originals. The collection is on exhibition in the vestibule and in the corridor of the Romanesque Hall.
In the Miller Collection are Roman and Byzantine diptychs, Carolingian and Romanesque book covers and casket panels, and Gothic utensils, both ecclesiastical and secular. Specimens of this class go back as far as the fourth century, from which is the consular diptych of Rufus Probianus. There are also diptychs of Flavius Asturius (fifth century), Areobindus (sixth century), the fifth century Byzantine diptych of an archangel in the British Museum, the front cover of the Psalter of Charles the Bald (ninth century), the South Kensington plate of Mary between Isaiah and Melchisedek (ninth century), a tenth century Holy Water vessel from Milan Cathedral, the Tutilo panel of the Book of Gospels from St. Gall, the Quedlinburg reliquary ascribed to King Henry the Fowler (tenth century), the comb of St. Heribert of Cologne (tenth to 11th century).
The collection is valuable both as offering material for the study of ecclesiastical iconography and as illustrating the development of medieval design from classical models. The museum is open week days, holidays excepted, from 9 until 5; Sundays, from 1 until 4.30.
