This image shows an open scrapbook or press clipping album, with visible page number "150" written in pencil on the upper left edge of the left-hand page.

The right-hand page contains two newspaper clippings, both dated December 3, 1946, affixed with adhesive. These appear to be press releases or news items about an exhibition.

Clipping 1 (Left Side):

• Source: "Press Clipping Service," located at "2 Park Square, Boston, Mass." (also labeled "Traveler Boston, Mass.").
• Image: A black-and-white photograph of a small, standing, full-length statuette. The figure, likely female, is depicted in a long, patterned garment and appears to be barefoot. Its facial features and body shape are stylized.
• Caption: "MEDIEVAL SHOW—This little Celt in gold, only 1200 years old, may be seen at a Medieval and Byzantine exhibition of metalwork and jewelry from Dumbarton Oaks at Harvard’s Fogg Museum."
• Handwritten note: "138 - F" is written on the clipping near the top.

Clipping 2 (Right Side):

• Source: "BOSTON NEWS CLIP," from "100 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass." (also associated with the "Christian Science Monitor").
• Text: Identical content to the first clipping, describing the same exhibition: "Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, Dumbarton Oaks Collection of Byzantine, Medieval, and other objects from the Dumbarton Oaks Collection, through Jan 31. Medieval objects from the collection of Charles R. Crane through Jan 31, Massachusetts and 100 Belknap Street, Brookline."
• Date: Clearly printed as "DEC 3 - 1946".

The clippings are affixed with pieces of aged, yellowed paper backing and appear to be from a collection documenting press coverage of exhibitions at Harvard’s Fogg Museum, focusing on artifacts from the Dumbarton Oaks collection. The statuette is described as a "little Celt in gold," suggesting it is a small, gold-plated or gold artifact from the early medieval period.

The scrapbook has a greenish-brown cloth binding and many other pages are visible along the left spine, indicating a substantial collection of similar clippings.
