Revisiting the intricately-carved stone latticework of ‘The Tree of Life’ in the window of 16th-century Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in Ahmedabad, India, named after the Ethiopian nobleman (& ex-slave) who commissioned it
@TanaCollins7@Anne_Coates1 We have members and volunteers all over the country, we normally find a way to get things to us. Of course, sell what you can, or if some of it is special you might want to hold on to a few pieces if you know more about them. But as a charity and museum we would be receptive.
@Anne_Coates1@TanaCollins7 Please do get in touch if you are looking to learn more about them or if you want to donate them to us, our curators would take a look, and accession anything that would enrich our collection, or we will find people to make use of them. 🙂🙂
Love it when costume research and writing research coincide! Delving into the history of Devon’s lace makers with the memorial to Lady Dodderidge in @ExeterCathedral Just look at those cuffs! #lace#Devon#amresearching
Thankful today to be working in the museum’s climate -controlled textile store, alongside some volunteers from the Lace Guild of NI, cataloguing and labelling some beautiful Irish #lace and lace patterns. #keepingcool
