CONDITION REPORT: The figure does not have any significant age and may only be 20 or 30 years old. It is in generally very good condition with no issues.

98 AD. A rare and historically-significant Romano-British limestone architectural block, the sixth known dedication inscription to the Emperor Trajan found in Britain (2006); dating to 98 AD it is incised in shallow relief; the eight-line inscription reads 'IMP(eratori) CAES(ari) DI(vi) NERVAE F(ilio) NERVAE TRAIANO A-VG(usto) GER(manico) PON-TIF(ico) MAXIM(o) POTES(tate) TR(ibunicia) II' which may be translated as For the Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus, conqueror of the Germans, son of the deified Nerva, pontifex maximus, tribune of the people for the second time. Previously exhibited at Ure Museum, Department Of Classics, University Of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, UK. 11 kg, 38 x 25.5cm (15 x 10"). From the Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, formed since 1985; previously with Helios Galleries in 2010, stock number H1081a; found Lincolnshire 2006 and exhibited at Ure Museum, Reading, UK; accompanied by a copy of the Helios gallery invoice and an eleven page academic report on the dedication, find-location, and its importance to our knowledge Roman Britain by Peter Kruschwitz and Michael Green of the University of Reading. The block was discovered during field-walking in 2006 near the settlement of Bucklegate, Lincolnshire. Its inscribed face was originally dressed and polished, the rest of stone apparently left in close to its natural state. It is not known for certain whether the text continued beyond the end of its present extent, but the only customary element not now present is the name of the dedicant. Prior to the discovery of this inscription, only five dedications to Trajan have been recorded in Roman Britain, this being the 6th. According to Dr Ittai Gradel of Copenhagen, this dedication (probably from a military garrison or administrative building) can be precisely dated to 98 AD, within 11 months of Trajan becoming emperor (which was after 1 month of his being made Tribune for the 2nd time), and in this respect it is a unique find in Roman Britain. Trajan was emperor from 98 to 117 AD, declared by the Senate optimus princeps (the best ruler"). He is remembered as a successful military commander who presided over the greatest military expansion in Roman history, which meant Rome's empire had its greatest territorial extent at the time of his death. Trajan is also known for overseeing a generous public building programme and for implementing beneficial welfare policies which earned him his reputation as the second of the Five Good Emperors who presided over an era of relative peace and prosperity in the Mediterranean world. Fine condition. Very rare and a historically important British find.

Mid 7th-6th century BC. A rectangular sheet bronze plaque, holes close to the rim for attachment of a lining; the surface executed in repoussé technique, is filled by scenes horizontally divided with guilloche of two interlaced serpents; in the lower register two opposed lions (an antithetic pair, a lion and a lioness), both in profile, walking position, are showed attacking a boar; the lions have the jaws opened and prominent muscles; the mane is marked, their tails form a reverse S-curved between their hind legs; the anterior part of the boar is collapsing under the lion's attack; rosettes are filling the field and in the upper register, two large bosses are separating three semi-human figures, maybe representing evil spirits, advancing in crouching pose with elbows bent and hands palm-upwards, rosettes and fungi in the field, their arms elevated in prayer.

Property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; accompanied by an academic report by specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato, and by a metallurgic analytical report, written by Metallurgist Dr. Brian Gilmour of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, University of Oxford, report number 618/129067. Our specimen is a well preserved decorative votive plaque of Early Achaemenid Age, although some elements could induce to consider the plaque as belonging to the late Elamite period. Usually these plaques are rectangular in shapes and contain one or more figures. One of the predominant figures is the lion, an old symbol of power in Ancient Mesopotamia. It appears often in a similar shape, for example in the Achaemenid seals (Schmidt, 1957, pp.42-44), as a hunter. The king of the beasts was considered a worthy foe, but sometimes was used as a symbol of the dynasty. Boars are also visible in seal pattern (Rawlinson, 1881, p. 240; Schmidt, 1957, pp.12,15,40,41,49"). The rosette motive is well known in the Achaemenid art, like on the Miho's Artaxerxes plate (Soudavar, 1999, p.11) or in decorated architectural fragments left on the ground in Persepolis (Soudavar, 1999, p.20 fig.14), and, more important, in the famous Otane's plaque (Soudavar, 1999, p.29 fig.32; p. 42 fig. 41a-b-c) or on the plaque reporting the Bisotun text (Soudavar, 1999, p. 56 fig. 45"). The rosette is a representation of the solar emblems, and it is already visible in works of the first millennium BC (Muscarella, 2013, pp. 682-683, 781), and on the diadems of the Elamite Rulers represented in the Achaemenid art. The representation of the Ansh?nite Sun Flower under form of rosette vary in shapes and it is not always easier to understand if its making is anterior to the Darius Persepolitan style. Here, the presence of convex more than concave rosettes are pointing more to a date anterior to the Darius Kingdom (522-486 BC"). The representation of the snakes is singular, considering that there is a general negativity in the Persian ancient culture associated with the word kerm/kirm (snake) and the animosity that Zoroastrianism developed towards snakes. However, according to the Sh?hn?meh, the discovery of fire was ushered by the appearance of a magical snake, at which, the legendary king Hushang threw a stone; it missed its mark but hit another stone and produced sparks that lit a fire. The Achaemenid Empire dominated the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean for about two centuries, from the mid-sixth to the mid-fourth BC, when it was conquered by Alexander the Great and the last Persian King, Darius III Codomannus, was killed by his generals. It was one of largest Empire's in the World and in many way one of the most successful. Votive plaques were dedicatory offerings to the temple, like modern ex-voto. The motive of the boar hunt in the Achaemenid Art is visible on seals, and represents the warriors (lions) hunting the enemy (ibex, boar), a typical war training exercise for soldiers, commanders and Princes. The theme of the boar hunt by Persian warriors has traditionally been associated closely with later Achaemenid glyptic from the western realms of the empire, but in this ancient plaque representation the lions appear symbolically substituting the warriors. Fine condition, with a beautiful greenish patina.
