| Object history | The three artificial flowers, S.818:1-2001, S.818:2-2001 and S.818:3-2001 are part of the Cyril Beaumont Bequest. The associated legend is that they were used by Tamara Karsavina as the Young Girl in Mikhail Fokine's ballet Le Spectre de la rose created in 1911, but there is no visual evidence for this when comparing them with existing images of the original production. |
