Excessively rare, only a handful recorded.Found near Newmarket, Suffolk, UK.From Chris Rudd Auction 184, lot 25: This splendid coin is packed with detail. The ring-ended, leafy emblem above and in the tribal mare’s tail must be its author’s personal signature, (also on silver unit ABC 2380), while the little split symbol in front, here exceptionally clear, suggests a clan associate. Several dynasts north of the Thames had vegetal emblems as insignia, and we know the names of two who later worked exactly this leafy motif into their stater designs: Tasciovanos (ABC 2553) and Andoco (ABC 2715). Our man’s sons, perhaps? There’s a handsome little hidden face at 6 o’clock on the obverse. See Hidden faces on Celtic coins, Coin News, November 2019, pp.41-43. Not in VA, BMC nor Spink.

The letter F for filius (Latin 'son') on many of his coins indicates that Vepo- was probably a son of Cor-, whose full name might be something like Corionos 'army chief' or Corrios 'the dwarf' (take your pick).

[No Reserve] (For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price.) with François de Riqles Auction, Paris, 27 October 2000. Accompanied by a copy of an Art Loss Register certificate no.S00072881.This type of bracelet still reflects the old Celtic production technique of La Tène period, where the bracelets were formed by pressing two extremities to form a single body, giving the bracelet a brownish colour.
1st-2nd century A.D. With a wide, grooved hoop expanding at the shoulders, rectangular plaque with ropework border enclosing amuletic inscription 'ToT, an abbreviation for the name of the Celtic god Toutatis. 5.02 grams, 23.37 mm overall, 19.65 mm internal diameter (approximate size British P, USA 7 1/2, Europe 16.23, Japan 15) (1 in.). Ex private collection, 1970s. Property of a Nottinghamshire gentleman.A number of rings have been found in eastern Roman Britain inscribed with the word TOT. It is thought that they refer to the Celtic deity Toutatis, later associated by the Romans with Mars and Mercury. The rings have been found mainly in the area corresponding to the native British tribe of the Corieltauvi who may have worshipped Toutatis as their primary tribal deity. The likelihood of the presence of his cult is strengthened by several inscriptions found in Britain mentioning this deity. However, his origin may be sought in the religion of the Continental Celtae, as the Roman writer Lucan in the 1st century AD mentioned the worship of 'Teutatis' together with two other deities, Esus and Taranis.
3rd-4th century A.D. Modelled in the round as a facing female, semi-naturalistic facial detailing and dressed hair; mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf.

[No Reserve] (For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price.) with Arte Classica, Lugano, prior 2000. Accompanied by a copy of an Art Loss Register certificate no.S00043014.Some Roman metal hair pins had human figures as finials (Cool, sub-group A, p.168). Bone pin finials carved as female busts were relatively common in Britannia (see for example finds from Londinium or Rutupiae). Metal pins with human figures were rare, though where they occur they tended to be made in the late Roman period, such a similar example recovered in the Vermand area. The treatment of figures varied greatly, including 'Celtic' looking faces and 'Venus' types. This great diversity of treatment clearly suggests that these pins were the occasional products of a wide variety of workshops.
1st-2nd century A.D. Matched pair of drop-handles for a situla or other large vessel, each an arched rod with curved and returned ends attached to a looped bar and leaf-shaped panel with an applied mask or gorgoneion below (one absent). 180 grams total, 9.5-10.3 cm wide (3 3/4 - 4 in.).

IONA - A SET OF FOUR SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL 'NUNNERY PATTERN' PICKLE FORKS ALEXANDER RITCHIE/ IONA CELTIC ARTS, BIRMINGHAM 1937 The stem set with a mask and abstract lozenge detail, with bud finial and three prongs; together with a pair of two-pronged pickle forks, stamped IONA, Gilmour & Watson (of Glasgow), Birmingham, the terminal set with a long boat (6) 15cm, 11.2cm long, 92g (combined) Born in Tobermory on Mull, Alexander Ritchie had his roots firmly in the Scottish islands, surrounded by the sea. Originally training as a marine engineer, the first twenty years of his adult life took him across the world with the British India Steam Shipping Company. Even at this time, it is recounted that Ritchie was a keen woodworker and took inspiration from his marine environment.It would be fair to assume that the Celtic wares produced in Iona at the turn of the 20th century were made to capitalise on the passing tourist trade, but the legacy Alexander Ritchie and his wife Euphemia Catherine Ritchie left is far beyond that of tourist souvenirs. A Creative PartnershipBoth makers were at the heart of the Arts & Crafts movement in Scotland. They were influenced by the Glasgow School of Art and at the forefront of the Celtic Revival movement. This melting pot and the history and art of Iona, combined with the skill of these two individuals created a legacy unique to this Scottish Island.It was not until he was in his 40s in the mid-1890s that he decided to take a break and enrol at the Glasgow School of Art. It was at the School that he met his future wife Euphemia Catherine Thomson. Both were immersed in the Glasgow Style, with contemporaries such as Jessie M. King, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Francis Newbery.An Island of InfluenceCatherine and Alec moved to Iona shortly after they married in Glasgow. Their home at Shuna Cottage welcomed all those who visited the island. The Scottish Colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell was a frequent visitor to their home and took inspiration from the island for some of his most seminal works. Ritchie was immersed in all artistic aspects; their shop Iona Celtic Art offered jewellery and other metalwork, leather tooling and embroidery, along with engraving and enamelling learnt at Glasgow. The earliest examples are in wood, a medium in which Ritchie felt most confident in the early days.Contemporary images of the shop show delight for the eyes in all corners; mirrors with zoomorphic corners, Celtic crosses hanging from all four walls, galleon ship pendants and penannular brooches covering door frames. As their business grew, the requirement to outsource is seen with the range of punches and hallmarks on the reverse of their wares. Various Assay centres such as Glasgow, Birmingham, and Chester appear on jewellery, and this reflects the popular enthusiasm for the Arts and Crafts movement.The Celtic RevivalThe Celtic Revival helped re-invigorate the Celtic identity, looking to the early Medieval Celtic culture in art, music, poetry and literature. In Ireland, the Book of Kells and the Tara brooch were key objects for this identity. Similarly in Scotland items of National significance such as the Hunterston brooch, housed within the National Museums Scotland collection, helped to illuminate the past and inspire artists and craftsmen who had been subjected to the mass industrialisation of the Victorian era.For the Ritchies, the Celtic Revival was more than a dissemination of history. Along with individuals such as Lady Victoria Campbell, the daughter of the 8th Duke of Argyll, they also sought to encourage Celtic Christianity. Alexander or Alec, as he was known, was made custodian of Iona Abbey in 1900.Later LifeThe Ritchie’s were part of a larger artistic community with an interest in Celtic art. John McGilvray, also of Iona, had for example been selling silver items from at least 1887 and was regarded as a local rival, but it is the skill of the Ritchie’s work and their understanding of Celtic culture that has created a particular appreciation for their works of art 100 years later. Individuals such as Robert Allison continued to produce their designs 50 years later in the mid-20th century, and their legacy is still apparent in Iona as the Iona Heritage Centre houses a permanent display of their work.Alexander Ritchie died in 1941, two days after his wife Euphemia. They were both buried together on the same day in the nearby Reilig Odhrain, the burial grounds of the Kings. These forks take inspiration from archaeological excavations at the Iona nunnery in 1922 and 1923.
