The Regalia. - 4
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print showcasing a selection of ancient coronation artifacts, dating back to around 1911. The image highlights five distinct items from St. Edward's Regalia, preserved in Westminster Abbey: the Coronation Gloves, the Anointing Spoon, the Coronation Bracelets, the Spurs, and the Ampulla. The Anointing Spoon, depicted in the second position, is a remarkable piece of history. Crafted from pure gold, this spoon is first recorded in 1349 and features four pearls in the broadest part of its handle. The Coronation Bracelets, or armillae, are also made of solid fine gold and are intricately edged with rows of pearls. The third item, the Ampulla, is an ancient vessel used during coronations for containing the holy oil. This antique artifact resembles an eagle with expanded wings and is finely chased. The head of the eagle screws off at the middle of the neck, allowing the oil to be poured in, while the neck is hollow, serving as a spout. Through this spout, the consecrated oil is poured into the Anointing Spoon, marking the beginning of the coronation ceremony. These regal relics, steeped in history and tradition, offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the British monarchy. Their intricate designs and historical significance continue to captivate and inspire, making them an essential part of the nation's cultural heritage. This photograph print is taken from "The Portrait Book of Our Kings and Queens 1066-1911," edited by T. Leman Hare. The precise origin of the image is unknown, but it serves as a testament to the enduring allure and fascination of the regalia and the monarchy they represent.
