with a triple open decoration at top. It is the finest of its class 
in the collection, and possesses a peculiar interest from the side pieces

rivet of a metal tooth intended to replace one of the lost bone ones. In 
continuity with similar specimens of household economy and the toilet, 
it will appear as No. 159 on Tray A. It was procured from the Ballin-
