. Dinanderie; a history and description of mediæval art work in copper, brass and bronze . The second of these vessels is a vase or pail which mighteasily have passed as an early piece of Dinanderie, and was foundin a grave at Bavenhoi in Himlingoi, Zeeland. It has an 32 DINANDERIE elegant outline and is without engraving ; but very many others discovered in various bog-finds are richlydecorated with figures and ornamentsin relief, and many bear the religioussymbol of the Svastica. The ornamentation of much of thisScandinavian work is remarkable for itsinterlacing serpentine folds with zoo-morphic terminations, which we seealmost exactly reproduced in earlybronze work in Germany and France,such as, for instance, the little candle-stick from Trier (Fig. 9). This peculiarform of decoration, common both toCeltic and Scandinavian work, is foundin the wonderful series of early Irishmanuscripts, where the extraordinarylacertine combinations of interlacingbands, curved eccentrically one within another, have never beenexceeded for richness and variety. It appears in the gilt bronze. Fig. 9, -Altar Candlestick,Trier
