It is thought to be the night of the Last Supper before Christ was crucified. A traditional Christian ceremony, it  included the washing of the feet of the poor by religious leaders or monarchs in memory of Christ's washing the feet of his disciples. The word 'Maundy' comes from the Latin <i>maundatum</i>, meaning 'command',  from the instruction that Christ gave 'that ye love one another', recorded in the Bible (John 13: 34).<br><br>\r\n\r\n<b>Historical Associations</b><br>\r\nIn England as early as the 13th century the monarch participated in the Maundy ceremony with gifts of food and money. During the reign of Elizabeth I (1588-1603), silver pennies were distributed.  The tradition of coins specially minted for Maundy began with Charles II (ruled 1660-1685) in 1662, with the issue of one, two, three and four penny pieces.","physicalDescription":"Doll's maundy coin in minted silver, 1776, from the reign of George III (1760-1820).","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"coin silver","id":"AAT242158"}],"techniques":[{"text":"minting","id":"AAT206581"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Minted silver","categories":[{"text":"Dolls and toys","id":"THES48967"},{"text":"British Galleries","id":"THES48985"},{"text":"Coins & Medals","id":"THES48974"},{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AM3298","2006AP0220","2006AP0219","2006AM3297"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"014","id":"THES308704"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Maundy money","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1776","earliest":"1776-01-01","latest":"1776-12-31"},"association":{"text":"dated","id":"AAT54714"},"note":"on verso of the coin"}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"T.846-1974","id":"O41517"},"association":"Object"}],"creditLine":"Purchased by public subscription","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"1.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx.","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: measured; 01/01/1999 by DW","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'GEORGIUS III DEL GRATIA'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Around the edge, above the profile bust of King George III"}],"objectHistory":"The doll and its partner are thought to have belonged to the Cockerell family, descendants of Samuel Pepys.  The daughter of Pepys' nephew, John Jackson (son of his sister, Pauline) married a Cockerell.  The doll and its partner were named 'Lord' and 'Lady' of the family home in Clapham.\n\nHistorical significance: The doll and its partner are costume documents; their clothes being, in style, cut and material, perfect miniatures of the fashions of the late 17th century.  Their importance is underlined  by the almost total lack of other good visual material for this period, whether pictorial or in the form of surviving garments.  In particular, the survival of accessories and the informal garments is extremely rare.","historicalContext":"Maundy money was specially minted coins, given to the poor by the ruling sovereign on Maundy Thursday.  This one dates from 1776, and therefore must have been added to the doll's ensemble later.","briefDescription":"Doll's maundy coin of silver, London, 1776","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Hillier, Mary, Pollock's Dictionary of English Dolls, London: Robert Hale Ltd, 1982, 50-51, 202pp. ill"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"George III, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland","id":"N2004"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nThese dolls were named 'Lord and Lady' of the family home in Clapham, London by their owners, the Cockerell family.
