I don't know if there is a free image, but might the large rosary bead filled with miniature carvings be suitable for this section? I'm referring to this work. It was not on display on my last visit, but if anyone could obtain an image, I think it would be a great addition to the article. Kafka Liz (talk) 11:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I remember seeing it displayed several years ago - mind boggling - I remember buying a postcard of it from the Cloisters store...Modernist (talk) 11:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I did as well. My first visit was around aged nine, and I was thoroughly enchanted. Kafka Liz (talk) 12:03, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My kids were too; that is one of the most amazing works in the entire collection; totally incredible...Modernist (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My folks had brought me there to hear the Waverly Consort. I did enjoy the music, but this really stole me, even at nine, and surrounded by unicorn tapestries. Kafka Liz (talk) 12:43, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The website says 'not on view' otherwise I would have gone up and photographed it :(. --regentspark (comment) 13:58, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now in the gallery in Section 6 (which maybe should actually be titled as a gallery?) —Luis (talk) 05:22, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The commons images of the Moutiers-Saint-Jean doorway are quite blurred, if any NYC people are in the Cloisters in the near future, can ye think about photographing and adding. Ceoil (talk) 16:56, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this was resolved with the Met's recent Open Access release czar 21:31, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. And then some. Ceoil (talk) 14:33, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK if I add sfn, cite book, etc.? Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 09:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Ceoil (talk) 10:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It’s looking very good, lads. Kafka Liz (talk) 12:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dont shoot. This is about Gothic boxwood miniatures. Ellis, Lisa; Suda, Alexandra. "Small Wonders: Gothic Boxwood Miniatures". Art Gallery of Ontario, 2016. ISBN 978-1-8942-4390-2. Both are curators at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and are in the refs. Ceoil (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find Clark, John. English and French Medieval Stained Glass in the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York: Harvey Miller Publishers, 2003. ISBN 978-1-8725-0137-6. I found these instead:
Hayward, Jane; Shepard, Mary; Clark, Cynthia (2003). English and French medieval stained glass in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Metropolitan Museum of Art. ISBN 978-1-872501-37-6. {{cite book}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)

The scholarship is very broad, so have removed these as not in use. "Further reading" not needed either. Ceoil (talk) 13:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

there's no Clarke (2004)
Bayard or Baynard? Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 13:36, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will take a look. Ceoil (talk) 21:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clark should have been (2003), and Bayard correctly attributed now. Ceoil (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't hink that book was written by clark/clarke. I think it's:
