یادداشت‌ها	The 1851 Great Exhibition inspired a series of âLondon International Exhibitionsâ which took place in South Kensington in 1871, 1872, 1873 and 1874. Fine arts and scientific inventions and discoveries remained central display themes but each exhibition presented different aspects of manufacture. In 1872 one emphasis was on jewellery, including âpeasant jewelleryâ. The Exhibition Commissioners arranged with the South Kensington Museum (later V&A) to make a collection of peasant jewellery from âall parts of the world, which should become public property, for exhibition in the Museum after the close of the Exhibitionâ. A letter was sent by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to British representatives overseas asking for their help in securing pieces of jewellery, particularly examples with âa direct connection with the native instinctive art, which has been handed down by a long traditionâ. The outcome was considered to be âmost satisfactory â¦ a collection of characteristic ornaments never before equalled was obtainedâ. This silver amulet case is part of this collection. It was made in Egypt. The cap at one end can be removed to allow a rolled written script to be inserted. Cylindrical amulet cases, like this, were common throughout the Middle East. They are called khiyar , meaning cucumber, from their shape.
