Stockholm the 25th of Febr. 1935. Mr. Horace H.F, Jayne, University of Pennsylvania Mus eum, Thirty-third and Spruce Streets, P Hol I ad el 2 Dear Mr. Jayne, At this occasion when I send you a circular letter on behalf of my collaborator professor Bernhard Karlgren I take the liberty of avpproaching vou in a matter which is highl4 important for the research in which I am at present engaged. In your museum there is a vessel reproduced by Umehara in his work Shina-Kodo Seikwa, I, 3, N:o 213. The vessel is described by Umehara as a "quadrangular wine pot, Fang, with animal ornament and inlaid stone". For further identification I enclose a reduced size copy of Umeharas plate. This vessel lis2 because of its highly interesting design bombined with the inseribtion which it carries of quite special importance to my present research. It would be of the utmost value to me to be allowed to study in detail this important vessel. As I cannot at present go to America only for the purpose of studjurg. this one vessel I take the liberty of asking whether you could be so very kind to allow this museum to study this precious object which we certainly did not want to keep more than a förtnignt. If ven 6063 b can kindly grant me this exceptional favour I suggest the following procedure: Will you please have the specimen very carefully packed and fully insured upon our expense. I am now writing to our Consulate General in New York asking them kindly to commånicate lane ber I hope that the Consulate kindly can arrange that one of there representatives receives the parcel in your museum, he will then personally take it to New York and hand it to the personal care of the captain or purser of one of SS the Swedish New York - Gothenburg steamers from whom we HEL SeRGLA the parcel in Gothenburg. I hope that this arrangement will reduce your risk to a minimum. I believe that your vessel carries the key to the dating of an important group of Chinese bronzes and hope that you will kindly allow me to publish my observations in a paper which I am now preparing. Very sincerely Yours Tillverkad 1935 image/jpeg https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10206552/E1A-12_0063a.jpg https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10206551/E1A-12_0063a.jpg http://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#pdmark Östasiatiska museet Zero image/jpeg https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10206556/E1A-12_0063b.jpg https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10206555/E1A-12_0063b.jpg http://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#pdmark Östasiatiska museet Zero http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204091 http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/510249 http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/510249 http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/510249
