Upcomming in 2024
About a year now we have nurtured thoughts and formed opinions about some 170 or so bone, antler and ivory items in the collection of the Museum of Valmiera (Valmiera, Latvia). It is a small, but nevertheless interesting and sometimes even challenging collection that give insight in the lives of citizens of Valmiera from about 12th to 19th centuries.
So, on the 6th of December in the Museum of Valmiera we will share all we have found out thus far. This will include also a guided excursion in exposition with longer or shorter stops at each and every of ''bones'' there.
In this regard - if you, wherever you are - have a knowledge of 17th/ 18th c. knives with decorative star - shaped brass rivets in bone handles, Contact us to let us know. Thanks in advance!
