This magnificent chariot fitting was cast in one piece, probably made in arsenical copper in Mesopotamia in the Early Dynastic Period (ED). The reins were connected to the head harness and then passed through the rein ring, that was connected to a yoke pole. The purpose of the rein ring was to prevent the multiple reins snarling and also added an element of control for the driver. The lower concave bar was tied onto the pole by rope or leather, while the hooks served to secure the ends. These rein rings were not only practical instruments, but also ornamental elements of royal vehicles. A well-known example of this type is a terret crowned by an equid figure that was associated with Pu-abi’s sledge in the Royal Cemetery at Ur, today at the British Museum, inv.121438.Acquired from Toufic Arakji, Hamburg, Germany, 14 January 1997. with Mahboubian Gallery, London, UK.

Late Period, 664-332 B.C.. With linear detailing to body and wings, loop above the neck. Cf. Andrews, C., Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, pp.62-3. 1.1 grams, 20 mm (3/4 in.). Small fly amulets first appeared in burials during the Naqada II Period, c. 3200 B.C. These amulets grew in popularity and the materials used to make them expanded during the New Kingdom. They are crafted from a variety of materials such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, carnelian, amethyst, faience, and bone. These amulets were thought to protect against insect bites and to ward off troublesome flying creatures through apotropaic magic. Some believe they may have even been intended to symbolise the fly’s fecundity. Additionally, pharaohs would bestow gold fly-shaped pendants as military awards to honour the bravery and fly-like persistence of soldiers in battle.From an early 20th century collection.

1994. Silver Proof Three-Coin Collection, FDC Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Europe, to mark the Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, two countries have joined forces with the United Kingdom to form a superb three-coin silver collection containing from France a one franc piece, from the United States of America a one dollar coin and from the United Kingdom a fifty pence coin. 258gr total, case 16.5cm (). 'Operation Overlord’, the Allied invasion of Europe, was undoubtedly the greatest amphibious operation ever undertaken in the history of warfare. To Winston Churchill writing to President Roosevelt, it was 'by far the greatest thing we have ever attempted'. Its outstanding success was to spell the beginning of the end of Nazi oppression in Europe. Almost from the fall of France in 1940, plans began for her liberation and by the spring of 1944 more than three million troops had assembled in southern England in readiness for the landings on Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, the five Normandy beaches which covered a fifty mile front between Le Havre and Cherbourg. The exact date and location of the planned invasion was one of the best kept secrets of the war and Operation Overlord was able to begin after midnight on 6 June 1944, in the first hours of that 'longest day' that would forever be known as D-Day. The successful assault on the five beaches, the fierce battles that followed and the Allied breakout into France led to the victorious liberation of Paris on 25 August. By September most of France was free and within a year western Europe too, was free.Acquired on the UK art market; Property of a Essex, UK, collector.

3rd-6th century A.D. or earlier. A finely hammered bowl, the surface punched with vegetal and zoomorphic decoration comprising standing rams or mouflons enclosed within a circle, spear-shaped leaves separating the figures, low foot; the engraving possibly later. Cf. Grabar, O., Late Antique and Early Mediaeval Arts of Luxury from Iran: August-September 1967, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, University of Michigan, 1967; Gunter, C., Jett, P., Ancient Iranian Metalwork in the Arthur M.

The plate exhibits a typical hammered form, and was probably reinforced with an organic base. The subject of the decoration, rams or mouflons with the head facing right or left, is a theme found on Sassanid art and is also visible on a decorated silver and gilt vessel of the Sackler Gallery collection (Gunter, Jett, no.21). Decoration in the form of such animal enclosed in a medallion appears in the central exterior roundel of a silver bowl in the Detroit Institute of Arts (Grabar, 1967, p.125, no.41).UK private collection before 2000.

A characteristic type of the Migration period, originally used by nomadic people such as the Alans and Sarmatians. An important element of these swords was the presence (in tombs) of amber or rock crystal fittings, which some authors have identified being part of the pommel (Zasetskaya), and others as pendants hanging from the hilt of the sword. Interestingly the sword of grave 9 from the Necropolis of Novohryhorivka is decorated with a similar pendant, made of amber and fitted with a silver mount decorated with a filigree border.From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s.

Los 535

Late Period, 664-332 B.C.. Formed as a fly with long triangular wings and domed eyes. Cf. Andrews, C., Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, pp.62-3. 0.84 grams, 16 mm (5/8 in.). Considering Egyptian artists often depicted fly whisks in the hands of pharaohs and high officials, one might assume that flies were simply a nuisance. However, the Egyptians held flies in high regard due to their quick speed, reactions, and persistence. Small fly amulets first appeared in burials during the Naqada II Period, c. 3200 B.C. These amulets grew in popularity, and the materials used to make them expanded during the New Kingdom. They are crafted from various materials such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, carnelian, amethyst, faience, and bone. These amulets were thought to protect against insect bites and to ward off troublesome flying creatures through apotropaic magic. Some believe they may have even been intended to symbolise the fly’s fecundity. Additionally, pharaohs would bestow gold fly-shaped pendants as military awards to honour soldiers' bravery and fly-like persistence in battle.From an early 20th century collection.

In regards of the shape, Roman silver vessels usually fall into three classes: (1) vessels for eating; (2) vessels for drinking; (3) jugs and saucepans (trullae). The first class includes flat, circular dishes (lances), often of considerable size; the situlae or buckets, and the bowls with projecting rims (our specimen) of various dimensions.

If the sweetheart accepted the youth's advances, she kept the token; if not, she disposed of the coin. The tradition is referred to in the children's rhyme 'There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile, he found a crooked sixpence on a crooked stile.'Found on various UK sites since 1974.

9th century A.D.. Featuring a chip-carved knotted scheme between scrolling flanks, dragon’s head terminal with upturned nostrils and snarling mouth revealing two rows of vicious teeth; flat back with three studs for attachment; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Williams, G. edn., Vikings life and legends, The British Museum, London, 2014, p.24, for two animal heads of comparable form. 7 grams, 23 mm (21 grams total, 57mm including stand) (7/8 in. (2 1/4 in.)). Animal heads of this size were often used to make mounts or small weights. They often had insertions of precious stones in the eyes and cavities, and were made of gold, silver, lead, and gilded bronze. The Norse mythological bestiary was varied, and dragon heads were common. Perhaps this head represents the world serpent, J?rmungandr, son of Loki and destined to die at the hands of Thor in Ragnarok, in turn killing the god with his poisonous exhalations.Previously in a North European collection.
