HEINz'S GREAT COLLECTION
ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsbureher
Are Declared to Be Almost
Priceless.

During many years II. J. Heinz Of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
Of the finest collections Of ivory cary
ings In America. There are probably
n dozen notable collections of this
sort in the country, and among them
.he Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says writer in
Scribner's.
AS rich and fascinating field for
discriminating collector. ivory cary
ings are perhaps without a peer. Exc
cutcd in a material that has always
been costly, too rare, as a rule, TO be
subjected to poor or mediocre work
manship, they may well be considered
rs typical Of the artistic development
Of the time in which they were pro-
duced. They represent the art, more
over, not Of one people, of one period,
hut, it is scarcely an exaggeration 10
say. Of all peoples and all periods.
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations of Egypt and Assyria
anu III NidSSiC hItttt anu iNblbt III =
come priceless examples OF sculptured
worries. The dark ages of Europe, so
meager in artistic treasures, have be-
qucathcd us an unbroken chain OF
ivory carvings Much Of the most in
tcrostiag Of such work must be accred-
tied to the centuries of the Gothic re-
viyal, the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth Of carved worries Of great rich
ness and beauty. From India, China
and Japan come worries of deep his
toric interest and especially in the
work of japan, Of genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods of exceptional turbulence,
such as the fall of COnstantinOple the
reformation in England and the French
revolution, have caused the destruction
of Incompatible treasures. That so
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies in the
very nature of the carvings.
