Dear Sir Percival, As you wished me to write to you about the Ko-handle (Nr. 159 of the London catalogue) I do so though I feel rather hesitating to discuss a matter of this delicate nature. The specimen in question was upon your request to H.R.H. the Crown Prince of Sweden brought by me personalljto London, It was very carefully packed in a special small box which I delivered into the office of Ur. Lamb. I also saw the specimen when it was put into the showcase and it wae still perfectly intact. When it came back from London it was very carelessly packed only rapt up in some thin papar, not in the specially made box in which 1t was brought to London. When we unpacked the specimen we found at once to our deep regret and immende surprice that the rim was nagged nearly all round, Of ceaufst the specimen is still there but it has lost much of its original intact beauty, a fact thatgoRY6 we deeply regret as this little object was not only one of our choicest specimens but certainly one of the most beautiful small bronzes ever seen. You will realize that our feeling is more a matter of love and not of business. Consequently I foreward no o18tB, vuk leave the matter entirely to the digeretion of the gentlemen in office in Burlington Hou: With kindest regards Yours very trulyTillverkadStockholmAndersson, Johan Gunnar1936-06-20MottagenDavid, Percivalimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10210220/E1A-13_0084a.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10210219/E1A-13_0084a.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by-nc-ndAndersson, Johan GunnarStatens museer för världskulturimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10210224/E1A-13_0084b.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10210223/E1A-13_0084b.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by-nc-ndAndersson, Johan GunnarStatens museer för världskulturhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204092http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1239710http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/4519196http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/510664http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/510664http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/510664
