Professor C.0. Seligman, Sourt Leys, Toot Baldon, Ixford. Dear Professor Seltrnan, Tn renly to your letter of March 30th I wish to explain why I asked you about your dating of the beads. hen I befan to study the inleid bronzes I was told that they were not oléer than Hans Then, because of tha Mao-bells, we were C, as tre date of tnese Fur forced to accent 550 F tvle objeöts. It seems now very likely that tune Piso-bells care from Chin Tsun as stated by White. Still, there were several tombs at Chin Tsun, and we do not know at all the association of obfecta in the indi- vidual tombs. Consequently little car be said witn certsinty about the age of these finds more than some few of them may be 550 B.C. hen I began to study the inlsid bronzes we believed tnat the art cane from the Koman forld, what was quite reasonable mitn the old datine Jan. But with the dating 550 the whole problem stands ouite differently. Don”t vou feel sämetning lila this about the beads or do you hold tnem to be an inäependen' proäuct of the Far kast. Alas, 1 ar not sble to give an opinion as to Stoclet"s bronze-O23/ v vessel Fr. jO6. Still, the shape could just ns well be luni. The vessel Nr. 118 is certainly very important for your present re- search. Sorpy that I can give no elue to its upe. The Pino-bells are now offered for sale, and I have asked Yarlbeck to write vou on this matter. They form too bip a pronpo- sition for us. Could you not help to save these important monuments 2 Turopean miseu fith Vind regerds very sencerely Yours,TillverkadStockholmAndersson, Johan Gunnar1936-04-02MottagenSeligman, Charles Gabrielimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10217287/E1A-14_0231a.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10217286/E1A-14_0231a.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by-nc-ndAndersson, Johan GunnarStatens museer för världskulturimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10217291/E1A-14_0231b.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10217290/E1A-14_0231b.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by-nc-ndAndersson, Johan GunnarStatens museer för världskulturhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204093http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1239710http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/3213279http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/511331http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/511331http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/511331
