A Club Obi Wan special-effects throwing axe from Steven Spielberg's action-adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Throwing axes were used by Lao Che's (Roy Chiao) henchmen as they tried to kill Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) at Club Obi Wan. The axe is made of solid metal, with a grip of wrapped string. It features a hole in the bottom of the grip and near the end of the spike, through which a wire would have run to create the effect of the axe being thrown at Indy. The axe has some scuffing and scratches, as well as some areas of rusting, most notably on the blade. Dimensions: 40 cm x 2.5 cm x 11 cm (15 3/4" x 1" x 4 1/4")Estimate: £1,500 - 2,500 M

River's (Summer Glau) stunt sword and axe from Joss Whedon's sci-fi adventure Serenity. River used her weapons when fighting against the Reavers during the climactic battle. The image of River wielding the weapons also featured heavily in the promotion of the film. Both items are made of rubber with metal armatures. They have been painted to resemble rusted metal, and the handles have been wrapped with plastic twine. Both have been intentionally distressed to appear worn and battered, in line with the Reaver aesthetic throughout the film. The weapons have some additional wear from age and production use, including some cracking to the paint on the blades. Dimensions (sword): 79.5 cm x 3 cm x 12 cm (31 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 4 3/4"); (axe) 44 cm x 3 cm x 25 cm (17 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 9 3/4")Estimate: £5,000 - 7,000 M

The Headless Horseman's (Christopher Walken) costume from Tim Burton's fantasy horror Sleepy Hollow. The Headless Horseman wore his costume throughout the film as he haunted the town of Sleepy Hollow, with this version of the costume worn during the first flashback scene, in which the Hessian was beheaded. Created by Academy Award®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, the costume consists of a grey, damask-patterned floor-length cape; a faux-leather and black velour tunic decorated with a double-headed dragon appliqué on the chest; a pair of gauntlets featuring bullion-embroidered double-headed axe emblems (labelled "Chris Walken 13121 The Headless Horseman Sleepy Hollow"); a thick leather belt with a large patterned belt buckle and an attached scabbard (labelled "Cosprop"); a pair of riding trousers with red-and-faux-silver ribbon detailing (labelled "Chris W, Hessian #1"); a pair of leather, scale-like thigh-high boots (right boot labelled "Chris W"); and a pair of removable ornate spurs (labelled "L" and "R" in red ink). Popper fastenings are located on the collar of the cape, allowing it to be easily attached to the tunic. The silver-coloured spurs comprise a metal open-mouthed face with a swirling protruding tongue leading to a spiked rubber wheel.The costume comes with a replica Sleepy Hollow town sign, cast from the original production moulds in resin and fibreglass. Intentional distressing is present on several components of the costume, including remnants of stage blood on the cape, and there is a small hole near the tunic's left armhole. The spurs remain in a fragile state and should be handled with care. Dimensions (sign): 42 cm x 54 cm x 2.5 cm (16 1/2" x 21 1/4" x 1")Estimate: £30,000 - 50,000 M

Celtic and Prehistoric Museum collection, Ireland, acquired from the above.Lots 134-145 have been exhibited at the Celtic & Prehistoric Museum on the Dingle Peninsula, Republic of Ireland. This private museum was founded by musician and antiquarian, Harris Moore in 1998. While travelling extensively and immersing himself in museums and antiquarian shops on the continent, Harris developed a deep passion for the form and simplicity of prehistoric stone implements. Over time, he cultivated relationships with several prominent 20th century collectors of Stone, Bronze, and Iron Age European material. Objects acquired from these collections formed the basis of what is now an extensive and eclectic collection at the Museum. A native of Connecticut, Harris elected to settle on the west coast of Ireland, an area steeped not only in natural beauty, but also rich in ancient monuments which perennially draw many visitors to the region. This dynamic museum continues to evolve; the proceeds from this offering will fund improvements in preparation for its re-opening to the public in the Spring.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He began his illustrious career as a foreign correspondent for Chicago Daily News and was dispatched to Paris in 1914. There he reported on events throughout the First World War, often sending riveting reports from the front-lines. By spring 1915 Mowrer was sent to cover events in Italy. He made personal acquaintance with Benito Mussolini and reported on devastating events at the battle at Caporetto. As a journalist Mowrer often sounded alarms about growing threats of rising fascism in Italy.In January 1924 Mowrer moved to Berlin where he worked with a distinguished group of correspondents, such as Herbert Knickerbocker, Dorothy Thompson, Walter Durranty and Eugene Lyons - who elected him president of the Foreign Press Association. He later remembered that: 'Berlin in the nineteen twenties was a kind of stopping off place not only for Russians heading West, but for the Americans entering or leaving the Soviet Union, including those who lived there and needed occasionally to come up for air.' No doubt that cosmopolitan group of friends with ties to the Soviet Union to some degree triggered Mowrer's fascination with socialist state which a decade later culminated in a long trip to Moscow and Leningrad. In Berlin Mowrer watched with growing concerns the growth of fascism in Germany as well as a consolidation of political power under Stalin in the Soviet Union. His unapologetic opposition to fascism expressed in articles and a book won him the highly acclaimed Pulitzer Prize in 1933 and essentially made him 'persona non grata' with regime in Germany after Hitler took office. In 1936 driven by his journalistic curiosity and sensing the inevitable escalation of the tensions in Europe, Mowrer and his wife embarked on a month-long trip to Moscow and Leningrad. It is believed that the present porcelain chess set was acquired during that trip. Given Mowrer's distrust of all totalitarian regimes and his critique of the Soviet system, he must have found this chess set to be a curious and rare examples of unapologetic socialist propaganda and a precious travel souvenir to cherish later on.Upon his return to the USA Mowrer continued his journalistic career both as columnist and later as a TV commentator and magazines editor, as well as the author of several critically claimed books on foreign affairs, future of diplomacy and global political balance.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Dated circa 2031 BC. A rectangular clay tablet inscribed with 221 lines of Sumerian cuneiform for a monthly list of activities involving copper; accompanied by a copy of a signed scholarly note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Clay Tablet 170 x 171 mm, inscribed with a total of 221 lines of Sumerian Cuneiform in 10 columns five on each side. The upper right-hand comer is missing, and the lower right-hand portion is composed of two pieces rejoined with some loss of surface at the joints. However, the greater part of the tablet remains, and is well preserved, being written in a clear scribal hand. This is an administrative document from the town of Umma, in the far south of Sumer, being dated to the 7th year of Shu - Sin, fourth king of the Third Dynasty of Ur, e. 2031 B.C. It is a monthly list of activities involving copper, being dated to the 20 month of the year (April/ May by our calendar"). At this time Sumer was bureaucratically run by the central government, and the government dominated many aspects of the economy. Thus metalworking, which depended on imports of ore, was centrally run. The craftsmen were provided with the materials, and they produced the tools and weapons needed for the workers army. But everything had to be recorded in writing, and this document lists the large number of individual small tablets written during this month recording so many of this or that tool of copper, and the name of the responsible person written on the tablet. It is not stated whether these documents record the receipt of finished tools from the craftsmen who made them, or the issue of tools to craftsmen who needed them for daily use. In the ancient world this was too well known to be recorded. Obviously both kinds of documents must have existed, so until there is much more known it is best to leave this matter open. The tablet attests to the vast amount of organised activity in Sumer at this time.

900-1100 AD. Viking Age. Double-bladed iron battle axe with a reinforced poll and socket; an elongated wedge-shaped cheek and short blade project from either end of the poll, allowing either end to be used to deliver a devastating blow. The era known as the Viking age lasted for more than 300 years, from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. The history of the Vikings is closely linked to their role as masters of the sea. They were feared as fierce and ruthless invaders; this axe probably belonged to a Viking warrior who left his home to travel and fight in search of fortune. Excellent condition; on a custom-made stand.Size: L:68mm / W:240mm ; 765g; Provenance: From an old British collection formed in the 1990s; previously acquired in Germany.

900-1100 AD. Viking Age. Iron battle axe with elongated, curved blade, tapering cheek, reinforced poll and rectangular flanges for attachment to the handle. A circular perforation in the cheek would have allowed for the suspension of the weapon when it was not in use. The bearded axe, or Skeggøx (from Old Norse Skegg, "beard", and øx, "axe") was common from the 6th century AD onwards in Scandinavia, but made most famous by the Vikings, who used these axes in battle to terrible effect. Bearded axes are named for the fact that the main part of the axe blade extends below the butt of the axe, creating a large cutting blade and allowing a fighter to hook onto the shields or weapons of his (or her) opponents. Excellent condition; on a custom stand.Size: L:115mm / W:140mm ; 480g; Provenance: Important London collection of Ancient art; formed in 1970-80s then passed by descent.

900-1100 AD. Viking Age. Iron battle axe with wide, fan-shaped blade, tapering cheek and rectangular poll. An incised cross motif is visible on the poll.
