Descrizione

8vo. 1 pp. on bifolium. Together with an autograph envelope. Highly interesting letter to the fellow archaeologist and historian Philippe Delamain in Jarnac, announcing the receipt of a statuette of Diana for the production of a mould and casts and arguing that a hatchet found in Macqueville was "certainly Frankish" based on comparable finds in Germany: "Diane vient d'arriver en parfait tat. Vous avez d , contrairement nos conventions, payer le port, car on ne nous a rien r clam au chemin de fer. Aussi, sans avis contraire, nous vous reverrons, avec l'original et un exemplaire du moulage, le moulage fait d'un autre objet, de mani re vous d dommager des frais d'exp dition. Mais nous vous devons toujours, et par surcro t, des remerciements. Votre note paraitra dans la Revue arch ol. avec un croquis de la statue. La hache de Macqueville est certainement franque. Deux haches trouv es en Allemagne, Alterth mer II 7.15 et Centralmuseum XIV. 7 pr sentent avec elle une certaine analogie de forme. Il y a presque identit avec une hache du mus e d'Upsal, cr e de 1000 ap. J. C. environ ( poque des Normands). D'autres haches analogues [.] sont dessin es dans l'Arch ologie de Londres, 1881, t. XLVI p. 442". - Delamain's note on the statuette was indeed published in the Revue arch ologique, 3, XXXIV, p. 146f. There he recounts that the object had been discovered in an ossuary in Richard near Saint-Fraigne (Charente) by a local farmer, who believed it represented St John the Baptist. Delamain saw and identified the statuette during an archaeological expedition in 1891 and acquired it for his personal collection. - On stationery of the director of the Mus e de Saint-Germain. Minimal foxing and some rust stains from a paper clip. In his discussion of the hatchet, Reinach added a little sketch.
