Kerongsang Kelt: Perbedaan antara revisi

The [[National Museum of Ireland]] is clearly not correct in saying that the fashion began after [[Queen Victoria]] was presented with a [[replica]] of the "Cavan Brooch" on her visit to Dublin to see the [[Great Industrial Exhibition (1853)|Great Industrial Exhibition]] in 1853;<ref>NMI, 5:21</ref> the [[Royal Collection]] has two brooches that [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]] bought for her from West & Son in 1849 on an earlier visit to Dublin, which were already being made in editions. Albert presented them in November and at Christmas that year: "...such beautiful souvenirs, both made after those very curious old Irish ornaments we saw in [[Trinity College, Dublin|the College]] in Dublin, one a silver shawl brooch, in smaller size than the original" was her reaction to the November gift.<ref>[http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/egallery/object.asp?searchText=brooch&x=10&y=7&pagesize=20&object=12457&row=15&detail=about Royal Collection] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609042602/http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/egallery/object.asp?searchText=brooch&x=10&y=7&pagesize=20&object=12457&row=15&detail=about |date=June 9, 2011 }}, Brooch given in November 1849, and [http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/egallery/object.asp?searchText=brooch&x=10&y=7&pagesize=20&object=4833&row=16&detail=about Christmas 1849].

Nama "Kerongsang Tara" diberikan oleh George Waterhouse, tetapi sesungguhnya kerongsang tersebut ada kaitannya dengan [[Bukit Tara]]. Kendati ditemukan kurang lebih 28 km dari Bukit Tara, hal-ihwal penemuannya pun masih tidak jelas (disengaja supaya tidak diklaim pemilik tanah), dan George Waterhouse memutuskan untuk menghubung-hubungkannya dengan situs Bukit Tara yang erat dikaitkan dengan raja-[[raja tinggi]] Irlandia, "dengan keinsfyafan penuh bahwa penamaan tersebut akan melambungkan khayalan muluk golongan menengah Irlandia yang menganggap dirinya sebagai keturunan raja-raja tersebut".<ref>Gere dan Rudoe, 444; British Museum: Waterhouse replica of the Tara Brooch, baca keterangan di atas.</ref> Ketika menjelaskan tren tersebut pada pada pertengahan abad ke-20, [[Adolf Mahr]] menguraikan kecenderungan untuk memberikan sebutan-sebutan semacam itu kepada kerongsang-kerongsang —dan yang lebih penting lagi kepada replika-replikanya— sebagai tindakan "bermuluk-muluk (dan kadang-kadang konyol)...oleh sebuah firma pengrajin perhiasan Dublin".<ref name="b82">Briggs (2017), hlm. 82</ref> Ketika Kerongsang Tara diserahkan kepada lembaga yang kini bernama [[Museum Nasional Irlandia]] pada dasawarsa 1870-an, "Kerongsang Tara" telah menjadi [[merek dagang generik|istilah generik]] bagi kerongsang-kerongsang Kebangunan Kelt, yang beberapa di antaranya dewasa ini justru dikerjakan di sanggar-sanggar kriya [[India]] untuk diekspor ke Eropa.<ref>Gere dan Rudoe, 455</ref>
