Provenance: A.P. Adams Collection, Part II, Glendining Auction, 22 November 1989, lot 12.

This piece and the next are considered to be a military rewards after the Royalist capture of the city of Bristol on 27 July 1643. While this and the next piece are signed 'R' for Rawlins, others are signed 'B' for Briot. They were probably made in Oxford for more than one victory. The bust (punch) must certainly be by Briot
