2. 1902
   Dana Estes (1840-1909), American publisher, bequeathed his collection, chiefly Cypriot terracottas, to Bowdoin College. Part of it came from the Lawrence-Cesnola sale of 1892 (lots 401, 402, 407 and others). Masson dates the bequest 1902 and notes Kevin Herbert's published terracotta article and catalogue.
