Shawcross thanks his correspondent for their letter, which he had greatly appreciated, and continues 'Politics altogether apart, it seems to me that the country's success in overcoming the great economic difficulties which face us will depend very largely on the steadiness of the ordinary people; that is to say, on what we used to call morale during the war. Nobody has any objection to open and constructive criticism of the Government, but whispering campaigns which are merely intended to cause trouble do not assist the country at the present time. What you are doing, therefore, in order to try and keep people cheerful is most valuable', David Maxwell Fyfe (1900-1967) British lawyer and judge who was one of the prosecuting counsels at the Nuremberg Trials.

Dix Noonan Webb

Lot 1340

Celtic, 1st cent. AD, a small bronze Carnyx or sounding Bell, 6.2cm long by 3.5cm wide, hollow slightly curved shaft, boar’s head at the summit with a wide open mouth projecting forwards, circular eyes with a series of central curving crests or spines along its back, ears large and projecting; a small opening at the back may have been for the attachment of a wooden tongue. Very fine with an olive green patina £2,000-£3,000 --- Provenance: Found at Bardwell (Suffolk) in a grassy paddock 8-10 inches deep; PAS SF-5A50AE, listed as a find of note with no exact parallel. Although much smaller than the only other recorded carnyx from Britain (the Deskford carnyx found in 1816), the snarling open-mouthed boar with its bristling spine is a compelling argument that it is in fact a miniature sounding bell. Carnyxes were used in battle and ceremonies as lip-reed instruments. The bell would have been mounted on a vertical hollow pole with a mouthpiece at the bottom. Three carnyx players are illustrated on the famous Gundestrup cauldron
