C.3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. Stunning dark alabaster chalice. A tall stem and a conical base are topped with a bowl with slightly flaring walls. Alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward. The purpose of such a vessel is not known. Pieces like this one often came from burials and votive offerings. Along with others that make up the typology of stone vessels, together with the well-known column or circular idols, these are all characteristic of the Bactrian material culture. This piece relates to an ancient culture referred to both as the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BCAM) or as the Oxus Civilisation. The Bactria-Margiana culture spread across an area encompassing the modern nations of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Northern Afghanistan. Flourishing between about 2100 and 1700 BC, it was contemporary with the European Bronze Age, and was characterised by monumental architecture, social complexity and extremely distinctive cultural artefacts that vanish from the record a few centuries after they first appear. Pictographs on seals have been argued to indicate an independently-developed writing system.It was one of many economic and social entities in the vicinity, and was a powerful country due to the exceptional fertility and wealth of its agricultural lands. This in turn gave rise to a complex and multifaceted set of societies with specialist craftsmen who produced luxury materials such as this for the ruling and aristocratic elites. Trade appears to have been important, as Bactrian artefacts appear all over the Persian Gulf as well as in the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley. For this reason, the area was fought over from deep prehistory until the Mediaeval period, by the armies of Asia Minor, Greece (Macedonia), India and the Arab States, amongst others.Through local stone carvers inhabiting the regions of Margiana and Bactria experienced no shortage in material; the main raw material was soft steatite or a dark soapstone, but also various kinds of marble and white-veined alabaster. The main source for these stones, including semi- precious lapis-lazuli, was in Bactria, at Badakhshan in north-western Afghanistan, which provided material not only for the Bactrian and Margian carvers but also farther to the west into Mesopotamia, for the Assyrian kings. Provenance: From the important collection of a London doctor A.R; passed by descent to his son; formerly acquired before 2000 on the UK art market. Size: L:175mm / W:96mm ; 1.15kg

C. 1100 AD. Seljuk. An elegant bronze tripod stand with elegant human-shaped feet supporting a stand with six interconnecting bowls arranged around a raised projection, perhaps intended to support a candle. The surface of the piece was covered in extensive calligraphic decoration. This exceptional piece was probably used for dining or for the burning of incense.The Seljuks were a Turkic dynasty who swept out of Central Asia in the early 10th century and conquered an enormous expanse, covering most or all of present-day Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and beyond. After inflicting crushing military defeats on a host of rivals, the most famous of which was perhaps that against the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Seljuk sultans became major patrons of art and architecture. Excellent condition; beautiful patina. Provenance: From an old British collection of Asian Art formed in the 1990 on the UK and European art market. Size: L:140mm / W:125mm ; 805g

c. 1100 AD. Seljuk. Heavy bronze mortar and pestle. The mortar comprises an out-turned rim, cylindrical body decorated with pyramidal bosses, and a stepped-out foot. A pestle features a domed handle, slightly tapering body and rounded base. This beautiful object may have been used in the kitchen for food preparation, or for the mixing of medicines by a medieval doctor. The Seljuks were a Turkic dynasty who swept out of Central Asia in the early 10th century and conquered an enormous expanse across Eurasia. After inflicting crushing military defeats on a host of rivals, the most famous of which was perhaps that against the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Seljuk sultans became major patrons of art and architecture.

c. 300-200 BC. Hellenistic, Eastern Greek. An exceptional silver tiger's head protome, probably once originally attached to a rhyton. The tiger is depicted with an open mouth, large, bared fangs, and wide eyes as if fixed upon its prey. Its tongue, pressed against the bottom of its mouth, creates the impression of roaring. The beast's fur is faithfully textured, and the details of its stripes picked out in engraved detail. A rhyton is a roughly conical container from which fluids were intended to be drunk or to be poured, whether as part of a religious ritual or during feasting. These vessels are commonly decorated with animal protomes. The Hellenistic period, which runs from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the battle of Actium in 31 BC, was an era in which Greek-speaking peoples controlled much of the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia as far as present-day Afghanistan. During this time, Greeks encountered many fearsome beasts, including elephants, whom they used in war, and tigers, who they depicted in their art as a means of respecting these creatures' deadly prowess as hunters. In order to confirm its authenticity, this piece has undergone X-Ray Fluorescence analysis by an independent Belgian Laboratory. The samples collected show the chemical composition to reflect the typical metal contents of the described period, whilst also showing no modern trace elements in the patina. Excellent condition. Provenance: Property of a professional London art expert; obtained from an old British collection formed before 2000. Size: L:70mm / W:83mm ; 180g

C. 1100 AD. Seljuk. A rare bronze vase with a flaring octagonal rim, constricted neck, piriform body and a high applied foot.

C. 618 - 907 AD. Chinese Tang Dynasty. An exquisite set of two ceramic female polo players. These two ceramics show two women in the midst of a polo match. Both with in arm bent over their horse's neck as though holding the reins. The woman dressed in green has her mallet arm extended as though to strike the ball, whilst the woman dressed in orange has her mallet arm at a 90 degree angle, a pose often adopted during play to allow the rider to rest the mallet against the shoulder keeping their animal's legs clear. Both women ride with their black hair in an updo, full makeup with pale faces and cheeks heavily rouged though the differing colour tunics indicate that they are from opposing teams. Both horses, one cream and one chestnut have their legs extended in a pose indicating that they are moving at a gallop. Their equipment is carefully modelled and painted. Their nostrils and ears are also accented in red. The saddle blankets stand out with their colourful motifs. Polo was extremely popular during the Tang Dynasty, and many of the emperors of the period were avid fans who not only played themselves, but also encouraged officials, soldiers, civilians, and even ladies of status, such as the court ladies, to play. This piece has been precisely dated having undergone Thermo Luminescence analysis by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. Its TL certificate with full report will also accompany this lot.

100-300 AD. Gandharan. Beautiful schist figure of a female figure, who stands on a lotus, gazing serenely into the distance. She wears an elaborate robe about the waist. She stands cross-legged with both hands in front of her. This gesture, known as the Dhyana Mudra, is considered to symbolise wisdom in the Buddhist tradition. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent. The Kushan period (c. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this stucco figure belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area.

100-300 AD. Gandharan. Stunning carved schist stone panel fromGandhara representing Buddha and four attendees. Buddha is presented standing on the right, dressedin an elegant sanghati or mantle, backed by a halo. It is noteworthy that threeof the four attendees have clearly foreign features. The tree under which theBuddha reached enlightenment marks the top of the composition. It had beenunder worship by local villagers, for it was known to be the residence of anature divinity, who here emerges from the tree and altar to praise the Buddha.Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of theancient Indian subcontinent.

100-300 AD. Gandharan. Schist figure of a bodhisattva, backed by a halo, who stands, gazing serenely into the distance. He is dressed in an elegant sanghati or mantle and wears elaborate jewellery, including a beaded necklace, armbands and bracelets, reflecting his spiritual wealth. His identity as a bodhisattva is established by the presence of an incised urna on his forehead, perhaps originally ornamented with a jewel. Together, these details create a majestic impression of a bodhisattva or individual who is able to reach nirvana (enlightenment) but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent. The Kushan period (c. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this figure example belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area.

C.3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. Beautiful, large alabaster vessel with amber-coloured slip and dark bands swirling around its body. Clearly, the craftsman knew how to take advantage of the swirling bands of colour of the alabaster to give a sense of movement as a decorative element on the vessel. The shoulder are presented with knobs and topped with a flared rim. Alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward.The purpose of such a vessel is not known.

C. 3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. A large and impressive stone jar with a lid. The vessel has a round flat body and the lid shows traces of incisions, probably intended as a decorative element by the maker. Bactrian vessels were commonly made from this grey stone, made of a type of stone widely available in Oman that was traded north through Arabia, the Gulf, Iran, Baluchistan, and Pakistan.

C. 386-534 AD. Northern Wei Dynasty. A painted brick featuring a reclining Buddha figure placed within a rectangular recess. Buddha, who supports his head with one arm, while the other is placed on his side, wears a red robe with green details; his neat hair is picked out in black, his eyes are closed and his lips are accented in red. The reclining Buddha scene is important within ancient Buddhism, as it symbolises his final illness before passing into Nirvana (ultimate spiritual enlightenment). After his death, Buddha's followers built a statue of him in the same reclined position; this brick may depict either Buddha himself or the statue. The Northern Wei dynasty ruled northern China from c. 386 to 534 AD, and its most famous achievement was unifying a large empire following a long period social and political turbulence. However, craftsmen working under this dynasty were also responsible for beautiful works of art, many of which relate to Buddhist religion, as this object exemplifies.

Ca. 618-906 AD. Tang Dynasty. A finely moulded Tang Dynasty terracotta figurine of a female court attendant, depicted standing in an attentive manner wearing a long dress, with a light coloured top. Her hands are hidden in long sleeves. She is wearing the traditional Tang Dynasty court attire, known as ruqun. Her facial features consists of thin, slightly arched eyebrows, narrow eyes and a pointed nose all outlined in black pigment. Light reddish-pink pigment has been applied on her cheeks and her small mouth has been painted in red pigment. Her hair is neatly combed into a coiffure consisting of a high topknot. The Tang dynasty was largely a period of progress and stability in the first half of the dynasty's rule, until the An Lushan Rebellion and the decline of central authority in the later half of the dynasty. Grave goods were an important status symbol in ancient China, so the affluent and important would be accompanied in their travels through the afterlife with numerous depictions of people, items and animals. Such terracotta figures were made for the service and entertainment of the owner, ensuring that their journey in the underworld was a happy one. Terracotta tomb attendants seemed to have first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty. However, it is during Tang China that the cultural tradition of displaying wealth in elite tombs reached its peak, with an increased production of terracotta statuettes. The Tang Dynasty was a thrilling time in Chinese history, when trade flourished along the Silk Routes and unified China was the richest country on earth. Chang'an (now Xi'an) was the Tang capital, and it was one of the most cosmopolitan cities on earth, filled with foreigners who had travelled to China to trade; the influence of foreigners and talented native Chinese, combined with the economic prosperity brought on by trade and the new religion from India, Buddhism, created a powerful cultural milieu where poetry and other forms of art flourished.
