Metal purse frames of this type were a luxury personal accessory of late Middle Ages and early Renaissance period (about 1450-1500). They were decorated with niello. In this technique the metalworker engraved a pattern or design onto highly polished metal and filled the incised lines with a hard black alloy. Religious inscriptions were incised to invoke the divine protection.

Early 20th century A.D. Comprising: original typescript (some carbon copies) and manuscript documents in Arabic, French and English relating to Egyptian archaeological sites and matters, including requests for permits to visit sites, together with several telegraph forms including a permission for a visit to the tomb of Tutankhamen on 13 February 1923 and requests for similar permission; together with seven monochrome photographic prints depicting Egyptian sites. 245 grams total, 9.5-30 cm (3 3/4 - 11 7/8 in.). Ex Hans Nilson collection. The names of numerous luminaries of Egyptology of the late 19th and early 20th century found in these documents, besides their significant contributions to our knowledge of ancient Egypt, also held important administrative roles in Egypt's Antiquities Service and the Cairo Museum. They include: Victor Loret (1859-1946), who served as Director General of the Egyptian Antiquities Service from 1897-1899; Émile Brugsch (1842-1930) served as Keeper in the Cairo Museum from 1883-1914; Reginald Engelbach (1888-1946) served as Chief Inspector of Upper Egypt for the Antiquities Service in 1920 and Keeper in the Cairo Museum from 1931-1941; Gustave Lefebvre (1879-1957) served as Inspector of Middle Egypt for the Antiquities Service from 1905-1914 and Keeper in the Cairo Museum from 1926-1928; James Quibell (1867-1935) served as Inspector of the Delta and Middle Egypt for the Antiquities Service from 1899-1904, Luxor 1904-1905, and Saqqara also in 1905. He was Keeper in the Cairo Museum from 1914-1923 and Secretary-General of the Antiquities Department from 1923-1925; Pierre Lacau (1873-1963) served as Director of the Antiquities Service from 1914-1936. When the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922, Lacau ensured that its entire contents were secured for the Cairo Museum (much to the chagrin of Howard Carter and the Earl of Carnarvon); Howard Carter (1874-1939), although famous for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, earlier served as Chief Inspector of Antiquities of Upper Egypt from 1899-1905. The name most frequently occurring in the documents is that of Paul Tottenham who served as Advisor to the Ministry of Public Works in Egypt, including a telegram he sent to Howard Carter on 15th February 1923 requesting that he attend a meeting with the Minister (of Public Works), presumably on matters concerning the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Stundenbuch Prachtmanuskript der Schule von Rouen. Lateinisches und französisches Stundenbuch für den Gebrauch von Paris. Manuskript auf Pergament. Paris/Rouen um 1500. - Exquisites Beispiel für die Pariser und Rouener Buchmalerei um 1500 - Überaus reich illuminiert mit Miniaturen des Meisters der Chronique scandaleuse und einem weiteren Meister aus dem Umkreis des Jean Pichore - Prachtvoller Bordürenschmuck mit vorzüglichen Drolerien und Grotesken im Stil von Jean Serpin - Sehr schön erhaltenes Manuskript mit farbfrischen Miniaturen. - Charakteristisches Stundenbuch der sogenannten Schule von Rouen, deren Künstler in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Pariser Buchmalern standen. So haben bei dem vorliegenden Manuskript das Atelier des genialen Bordürenmalers Jean Serpin in Rouen, der in Paris tätige Meister der Chronique scandaleuse und ein weiterer Meister aus dem Umfeld des Jean Pichore in Paris Hand in Hand gearbeitet. Vom letzteren stammen die Kalender- und der Großteil der Kleinbilder sowie die beiden großen Miniaturen Geburt Christi und Flucht nach Ägypten. Alle übrigen Miniaturen hat der Meister der Chronique scandaleuse gemalt. 'Stilistisch gewann der Meister der Chronique scandaleuse wie Pichore seine entscheidenden Anregungen aus Tours, insbesondere von Jean Poyer. Man erkennt ihn unter anderem am Kolorit, das er nach Poyers Vorbild zwischen reduzierten Pastelltönen und kräftiger, auf dem Zusammenklang von Rot und Blau mit intensiv bläulichem Grün basierender Farbigkeit von einer Aufgabe zur andern variiert. Wie die Maler der Pichore-Gruppe konturiert er seine Figuren mit dünnen schwarzen oder auch goldenen Linien .. Auch seine Malweise ist oft summarisch, und er verwendet ähnliche Figurentypen. Diese aber sind zierlicher als bei Pichore und durch ihre charakteristischen Gesichter unverwechselbar.
