ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 



among these are: The Christian necklace of the sixth century consist- 

 ing of 15 golden disks inlaid with glass mosaic, each disk portraying 

 one of the twelve disciples with the name inscribed in Greek, the 

 central disk being reserved for the Christ and the two end ones each 

 bearing the Constantinean cross; and an emerald cup, a marvel of 

 size and workmanship. There are many objects of unusual interest 

 and value, also paintings, European and oriental. 



In a third gallery are displayed 36 water colors, pastels, and draw- 

 ings by American artists, and 16 fragments of Chinese frescoes from 

 Turfan; 1 bronze and 1 terra-cotta by Augustus St. Gaudens; 1 

 marble by George Grey Barnard, and miscellaneous furniture, a 

 grandfather clock, a desk, a harp, tables, chairs, etc. One large 

 model of a seventeenth century warship will be found surrounded by 

 many other objects not listed here. One important painting, a 15- 

 foot circular decoration called "Dawn", by T. W. Dewing, which 

 had been rolled for 19 years, was mounted and hung in the rotunda. 



The Gellatly collection is undoubtedly the most important gift to 

 the National Gallery since the Freer collection was received. It has 

 great variety and in itself is an art museum.
