Treasured
I went to Edinburgh for the first time this week to see the Bishopsland silversmithing and jewellery exhibition at Dovecot Studios. Inspired and daunted by the talent on show I happily went onto explore some of the galleries and museums Edinburgh has to offer.These are images from an exhibition called Treasured.
Objects from around the world that are treasured for one reason or another. It contained pretty much every object I've looked up in a book in the last 3 years.
Micro-photographs in jewellery. The jewels act as a microscope to reveal the image inside the rings.
Japanese Inro or Netsuke. Traditional Japanese robes had no pockets, inro's were hung from the robes to contain personal belongings. "Intricately carved they showed their wearers good taste."
Tibetan menswear. Gow or CHARM BOXES that contains the image of a God.
Miss Eilleen Crawford avid collector, never wore jewellery preferring instead to display in either her flat or store it away carefully sorted by colour type or material.
Tobacco pipes mid 17th century, clay.
