Tent-style format measures 14-5/8"H x 10-5/8"W closed, but when opened each advertising measures 14-5/8"H x 10-1/4"W The menu jacket itself is well worn from age/use, but inside the colors of both advertisements remain bright & true. Mini posters if you will, each lithographed as a piece of art. The artwork shows typical signs of wear from opening/closing the booklet, plus lower right corner of Morlant advertisement bent long ago. The beauty of this piece is the artwork, and like true vintage French posters, each of these advertisements would make a fabulous wall art statement framed/mounted (or could frame the duo for double the impact!)

Overall wonderful condition, with just a small/stable 7/8"L edge crack (just a tad more than a spider). Very nice pair. ANCIENT DAUNIAN DOUBLE-SPOUTED ASKOS - HUGE! - Antiques, Antiquities One of the finest examples of Daunian pottery you are likely to see outside of the largest museums! Huge lidded, double-spouted askos from the Native Italic community that existed side-by-side both the Etruscans and Greeks in the period between the 8th to the 4th century B.C. This example dates to the 5th century B.C., during the time the Athenians were producing their red-figure wares. Decorated with traditional Daunian floral and animal motifs and using added red and pink pigments seldom seen on Daunian vessels, with twin large spouts emerging vertically from the round base. 15"H x 16"W to the handles, remarkably intact, save a single repair to the original lid.

Greek Bronze Kantharos, circa 350-300 B.C., made from four individual pieces; two cast handles, cast stem base, and hand beaten bowl. Traces of silver gilt in sections. Dark green patina with some spotty red highlights. Probably graced the table of a wealthy Greek person, as in antiquity, this type of vessel was expensive to make. 3-7/8"H x 7"W, handle to handle. Appears almost choice, but handles reattached and small hole in cup restored. See G. Richter, "Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Bronzes", p.216-217, no. 596 for a related example. Ex: Sotheby's Antiquities, June 2001 Sale of Antiquities, lot 75, with hammer price of $7200.

This fabulous example dates to the 6th century B.C., manufactured of dense clay and decorated with pigment in shades of white and black. 5-1/8"H, in excellent condition with slight loss to chin and tip of nose. Ex-private French Collection. Stunning! APULIAN AMPHORA NAISKOS SCENE - Antiques, Antiquities Massive ancient Greek Apulian Pottery Amphora, ca. 350 B.C.

To the outside of the tomb are four additional figures, two seated females and two standing youths, as well as a female emerging from a flower above the Naiskos (an indication of rebirth).
