From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. A superb collection of military horse harness mounts ranging through a wide period of the classical and late Roman military equipment: the group is composed of two magnificent 3rd century bridle cheek pieces, with various kidney and pelta-shaped cut-outs, a 3rd century openwork bridle fastener, a 2nd-3rd century openwork phalera, five harness junction elements (bronze belt hooks) of 4th-6th century AD (Flinders-Petrie, 1927, pl.XVIII, no.11). Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
