Item Type: Terracotta Pot Item Description: A wide ancient pot with one handle and a spout. Apparently otherwise unadorned, but it is also very encrusted. The lip has been partially restored in two places, with one restoration better than the other, and there is a thin crack running down one side, but the rest of the pot is in one piece and feels sturdy.

He was also a talented painter. Im Max Lewin the curator of what remains of Marcels extensive art collection, comprising ancient, tribal, Asian and European art.

I worked with Marcel summers and in college. Marcel was an unquestioned expert in antiquities and all items in the collection from the ancient world are guaranteed to be authentic. Marcel also had a particular affinity for African tribal art, and while dating such items is problematic, he absolutely had impeccable taste. Some of his opinions on provenance of tribal items have been challenged. There are also Asian items of various quality, and many fine and genuine items from primitive cultures including relatively contemporary (a few hundred years old) and both neolithic and upper paleolithic items.
