Harold Gibbs 1895-1962 was an avid collector, in addition to coins he collected odd and curious means of exchange. His collections were sold by Hans Schulman in four auctions from 1951 to 1971.

Ancient Daunian askos, of a type often referred to as a baby feeder. This is possible but it is also possible that the small spout allowed one to pour a small amount of oil rather than from the larger spout. Restoration to the large spout or filler and the handle on top. Some encrustation remaining. Circa 4th Century BC. Height 10 CM.

An ancient Etruscan terracotta palmette broken from a large container or perhaps it was part of an antefix. Carefully modeled with considerable gesso and a bit of color remaining. It does not need a mount as it stands well as it is.I purchased it in 1975, from a shop in Cologne as 4th Century BC Etruscan. Height 11cm, Width 11.2cm
