The pyx illustrated in Plate XXXIII., and acquired by the British Museum in the present year, was formerly in the possession of the Reverend Walter Sneyd, of Keele Hall, where it had been preserved for about half a century. It was exhibited at the Art Treasures Exhibition at Manchester in 1857 and again at South Kensington in 1862, has been figured, though imperfectly, by Grarrucci and Rohault de Fleury, and cast for the series issued by the Arundel Society.

The Bodleian bookcover (Westwood, , Fictile Ivories, plate vi.) is especially interesting because the early Christian original of one of the plaques composing it is still in existence; seeGoogle ScholarHaseloff, A. in Jahrbuch der königlich preussischen Kunstsammlimgen, 1903, pp. 47ffGoogle Scholar . The imitation of early Christian pyxes in the West is not so frequent as that of panels or plaques; but there is an example at Reichenau executed at an even later date than that suggested for the Sneyd pyx. For this information I am indebted to Dr. Hans Graeven, Director of the Trier Museum.
