專家說明

The presentation inscription reads Presented by the Book and Snake Society to Henry Ford II and Anne McDonnell on July 13th 1940.
The Book and Snake of Yale University is a secret society and was founded in 1863. Its meeting place was designed by Louis R. Metcalfe as a tomb in the Greek Ionic style with the front door modeled after the Erechtheion Temple on the Acropolis in Athens. In 1940, Henry Ford II left Yale University before graduation to work at Ford Motor Company. That same year, he married Anne McDonnell and the couple was presented with this bowl as a wedding gift from the society.
