From the private collection of John Meredith, acquired since the 1990s; thence by descent.
One of the rarest of Kentish potins. This specimen is desirable because it displays a neat casting tang and because striations are clearly visible on the obverse, caused by a piece of wood used to smooth off the unbaked clay casting mould before the lines of the head were scribed.
