Ca. 1300-1500 AD. Late Byzantine period. A gilded silver ring with a D-section band and flared shoulders decorated with circular, swirling, and coiled motifs. The circular bezel depicts a double-headed eagle beneath a cross encircled by a band of scrolled tendrils. Excellent condition; fully wearable. The double-headed eagle was a common mythological figure in ancient Mesopotamia, Syria, Asia Minor, Egypt, and among the Mycenaean civilisation. It reappears on Greek soil in the 13th century in Byzantine art, when it started to be used as an emblem of the Byzantine Empire. The two heads of the eagles symbolized the claim by the Byzantine Emperor to both eastern and western halves of the Roman empire. In Imperial iconography, it was used to distinguish the emperor (double-headed eagle) from the king (one-headed eagle). We find the double-headed eagle also used by some merchant ships of the Italian peninsula to show their tax-exempt status. Nowadays, the black double-headed eagle on a yellow background is used as a symbol of the Orthodox Church all over the world. For more information about the double-headed eagle, see Chotzakoglou, C. (2000). 'Eagle, Double-Headed: Emblem of the Byzantine Empire'. In G. Speake (ed), Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition. London; New York: Routledge, 521.

Ca. 400-600 AD. Migration Period. A long iron sword with a long, pointed, bevelled blade, a rectangular guard and a rectangular tang for insertion into a handle.

* Attributed to Heaton, Butler & Bayne (stained glass designers). Design for a stained glass window, circa 1860's-70's, fine watercolour with pen & brown ink, on shaped paper, laid down in window design on thick black card, the card with number 83/3 at foot, letter C to upper left corner, and No.4 on verso, hinged shaped window mount, 525 x 270 mm (20.75 x 10.5 ins) mount aperture, framed and glazed (730 x 455 mm)Qty: (1)NOTESStained glass maker Clement Heaton (1824–1882) started producing stained glass in the early 1850s, influenced by Pugin. He went into partnership with lead glazier James Butler (1830-1913), and then was joined by the pre-raphaelite Robert Turnbull Bayne (1837-1915) in 1862. "Bayne's striking and linear designs were carried out in an exceptionally wide range of coloured glass, developed by Heaton as a result of his researches into medieval techniques" (Gordon Campbell, Encyclopedia of the Decorative Arts, volume 2, Oxford University Press, 2006, page 472). In 1864, the firm began to use the artist Henry Holiday as a freelance designer, an arrangement that lasted until 1878. Holiday's designs inclined more towards the classical, his feelings for which are evident in his book Stained Glass as an Art (1896), though the main concern expressed is that there should be no affectation, but "genuine personal feeling ... the true expression of the best that is in [the individual artist]" which "has nothing in common with the imitation of tricks of manner, and ... does not change with different buildings (nor with the state of the market)" (pages 115-16). 1862-1953
