3rd millennium BC. A sheet silver vessel with domed plaque to the base, waisted profile, everted rim, band of Proto-Elamite text beneath the rim, text possibly a later addition. 141 grams, 11cm (4 1/4"). Property of a North West London gentleman; formerly with a central London gallery in 1990. The Proto-Elamite script and its Linear Elamite variant remain undeciphered. Pottery dating to the later 5th millennium BC has been found in Tepe Sialk, where Proto-Elamite writing has been found on tablets of a similar date. The first cylinder seals date to the Proto-Elamite period. At the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, the written tradition in Sumer diverged from that of its contemporaries in Mesopotamia. Along with changes in the script, the archaeological record also indicates changes in material culture, as reflected in new architectural style and ceramic technology that bore closer resemblance to cultures of the Iranian plateau rather than Mesopotamian traditions. Although the reasons are not known for these changes a new script tradition appeared in Elam at approximately 2900 BC. Called Proto-Elamite, this script represented the earliest native writing system in Elam. Visually, Proto-Elamite is quite unlike the cuneiform script prevalent in other parts of Mesopotamia, and instead is composed of lines and circles. Very fine condition.

2nd-3rd century AD. A grey schist relief panel with two central registers each depicting the Buddha in the centre with two figures to either side (lower portion of another at the top showing feet of figures), each register framed by columns and architectural elements; to the left (as seen) is a row of five panels depicting naked figures in acts of devotion; to the edge of this a column with scale patter; to the right of the central registers is a border of scrolled vine leaves separated by a raised border from a panel of acanthus leaves; mounted on a custom made stand. 80 kg, 71cm high including stand (27 3/4"). Private collection, North London; acquired in the early 1980s. The panel comes from a stupa, or reliquary mound, and formed one of the registers at the lower portion of the structure that the worshipper would have faced during devotional acts and which display scenes from the life of the Buddha. When the Buddha set out on his journey to gain enlightenment he joined a group of holy men living in a forest near the city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges. Here they practised extreme austerities that denied the body all comfort and pleasure in a bid to free themselves of attachment. After many years of such practise the Buddha realised that this was the wrong way and so set off to find out for himself the correct method. After meditating under a Bodhi tree at the site of Bodh Gaya he became enlightened and came to realise, amongst many other things, that the path to truth lay in neither pampering the body and the ego, nor denying it, but by practising the Middle Way. The Buddha returned to the company of his former ascetic companions to reveal to them the truth. This panel shows this moment when the Buddha returned to them with the ascetics berating him for supposedly living a life of luxury. Eventually they listened to his teachings, came to understand the truth and became his first disciples. Fine condition.

2nd-3rd century AD. A schist panel fragment with Atlas shown with legs crossed and nude except for a necklace; right arm rests on knee and the right arm is held upward with the hand flat; the head is bald and sprouting from shoulders are two large wings; mounted on a custom made base. 40 kg, 24cm including stand (9 1/2"). Acquired on the London art market prior to 1980. The sculpture comes from an architectural context; it would probably have been placed on a beam near a roof, symbolically fulfilling Atlas' mythological role by supporting a structure. Fine condition.
