Extract

Our illustration (Fig. 1) shows two bronze rein or belt guides which belong to the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. There can be no doubt, I believe, that the one at the left is the one published by Richard W. Barnettin JHS LXVIII (1948), 12 and n. 68, and pl. V, a. Mr. Barnett believed the piece to have been in the museum in Berlin, where, it seems, he purchased the photograph. However, that museum was well supplied with photographs of objects which had passed through the market only to end in other museums or in private collections.
