3 Antiquities and Ethnographic Objects Including Ceramic Multi-Spout Vessel - A group of three archaeological and ethnographic items. The first is an earthenware multi-spout vessel with a central bridge handle connecting two flared openings. The vessel is constructed of coarse, unburnished terracotta with a rounded body and flat base. The second item is a stone tool or gaming stone, possibly a discoidal or nutting stone, featuring a spherical form with a shallow circular depression on one face. The third item is an antique leather-wrapped club or slungshot weapon, consisting of a heavy weighted head and a cylindrical handle with a braided leather seam and integrated wrist strap. Vessel: 7 3/4” H x 7” diameter. Stone: 3 3/4” diameter. Club: 5” L. Pieces Peter bought over the years at auctions and antique shops because they intrigued him.  From the personal collection of Peter Benchley (American, 1940–2006), acclaimed author of Jaws, accomplished diver, and prominent advocate for ocean and shark conservation.
