an autograph book with signatures obtained by the vendor, Sheila Shorten, when she went to see the Beatles at the Gaumont, Bournemouth in August 1963. The Book was bought by Sheila especially for the occasion and contains all four Beatles signatures on one page, plus autographs of the other artists from the bill that evening comprising Tommy Quickly , Billy J Kramer plus Ray Jones and Robin MacDonald of his Dakotas, all five members of the obscure R&B band The Sons of the Piltdown Men and Gary & Lee. Sheila writes as follows: "My friend and I both went to the concert wearing A-Line Red Skirts and Black Roll Neck Sweaters. At the end of the concert my friend and I rushed round the the Stage Door where we caught Billy J Kramer and Tommy Quickly who gave us their autographs along with others. We were told that the Beatles had left but were on the balcony of a nearby hotel. We found the hotel and because of our outfits we were noticed by the Beatles. We shouted for their autographs and were let in to the hotel and the autograph book takes to the Beatles, but we were not allowed out on to the Balcony but they did wave to us". As Sheila wasn't present in the room at the time of the signing, it is possible that some or all of the Beatles signatures were signed by different band members to the names, or by the likes of Neil Aspinall. The Book also includes a Donovan signature which Sheila obtained some time later and stuck into the book together with a page of unidentified signatures. The Book remains in excellent condition and comes with a signed letter of confirmation from Sheila and a print of the poster from the concert

A RARE TIBETAN-STYLE GILT AND BLACK LACQUER EWER AND COVER, DUOMUHU 18TH CENTURY The tall cylindrical body set with a slender spout to one side, with four raised bands and mounts suspending chains to form the handle, decorated in gold lacquer on a black ground with many roundels formed as blossoming branches, the flowers including orchids, chrysanthemums, lotus and prunus, the cover surmounted by a finial shaped as a crouching lion dog, 47.7cm. (2) Provenance: from the collection of the late Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020). Hubert Faure was the first husband of Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas, who married when she was nineteen. Bessie was the daughter of Margaret Rockefeller, granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. This form of ewer is known in Chinese as a duomuhu and it is derived from the Tibetan bey lep. Bey lep literally translates as 'container for butter', but these vessels were also used to store milk, wine and milk tea in Lamaist monasteries. The shape is believed to have first appeared in China during the Yuan dynasty and, after little use in the Ming dynasty, was revived under the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) during the Qing dynasty. His interest in Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism led to the resurgence of the duomuhu form, notably in metalwork and porcelain. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, p.182, no.135 for a comparable gold and purple lacquer duomuhu in the Qing Court Collection; see also pp.152-153, no.111 for a Qianlong period twin-dish decorated with comparable floral medallions in gold on a black lacquer ground.十八世紀 黑漆描金多穆壺來源：Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020)收藏，購於二十世紀初（傳）。他是Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas的第一任丈夫。Bessie是Margaret Rockefeller的女兒，John D Rockefeller的外孫女。

(2) Provenance: from the collection of the late Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020), by repute acquired in the first half of the 20th century. Hubert Faure was the first husband of Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas, who married when she was nineteen. Bessie was the daughter of Margaret Rockefeller, granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. Cf.

A MASSIVE TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI POSSIBLY 16TH CENTURY Cast seated in dhyanasana with one hand held in dhyana mudra and the other in bhumisparsha mudra, he wears robes adorned with strings of beads and incised with floral motifs to the edges, his composed face framed by his pierced elongated earlobes, the urna between his arched eyebrows picked out with a turquoise jewel, 58cm high, 33kg. Provenance: formerly the collection of Mr Adrianus Cornelis Maria Verhelst (b.26th February 1955), The Netherlands. The iconography depicted presents the historical Buddha in the earth-witness gesture. This refers to when Shakyamuni triumphed over the demon Mara, who was attempting to divert him from his objective of becoming enlightened through meditation. When Mara challenged Shakyamuni's right to enlightenment, Shakyamuni moved his hand from his lap to touch the ground with his middle finger, calling the earth to witness his entitlement to spiritual enlightenment. Shakyamuni's unshakable resolve forced Mara and his army of demons to flee; moments later, Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. Cf. Christie's New York, 18th September 2018, lot 51 for a smaller Buddha Shakyamuni possessing similar markings and features.十六世紀 （可能） 銅鎏金釋迦摩尼像來源：荷蘭Adrianus Cornelis Maria Verhelst（生於1955年2月26日）舊藏。
