14th-11th century B.C. With triangular blade, having a barbed deltoid shape and a rounded projecting midrib tapering towards the sharp point, cylindrical stem and rectangular sectioned tang: accompanied by a custom-made display stand. See Khorasani, M.M., Arms and Armour from Iran. The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period, Tübingen, 2006, figure 470, for the type. 36 grams, 21.5 cm (140 grams total, 22.5 cm high including stand) (8 1/2 in. (8 7/8 in.)).Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection.According to Khorasani, this type of arrowhead belongs to a subcategory of the category of type V of Luristan arrow points. In the four categories of triangular bronze arrowheads from Luristan, Marlik and Northern Iran individuated by Negahban, subtypes C and D of type V are larger arrow or javelin heads, C with barbed shoulders and D with round shoulders.
14th-10th century B.C. Comprising ten triangular arrowheads with tangs. See Khorasani, M.M., Arms and Armour from Iran. The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period, Tübingen, 2006, figures 467 and 470, for some of these types. 203 grams total, 8.1-15 cm (3 1/8 - 5 7/8 in.).Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection.Some of these arrowheads seem to belong to the type V, subcategory types A and C according to the classification of Khorasani and Negahban. In the four categories of triangular bronze arrowheads from Luristan, Marlik and Northern Iran described by Negahban, subtypes A and C of type V are larger arrow heads with barbed shoulders and triangular heads. These types of arrowheads were commonly used in Anatolia and Mesopotamia from the 2nd millennium B.C., but apparently their employment began earlier in this area, where types like these occur alongside the non-barbed, predominantly ribbed and tanged types.

2nd century A.D. Comprising two lentoid-section, one a lead glans, and another in stone. Cf. Marchant, D.J., Roman weaponry in the province of Britain from the second century to the fifth century AD, Durham, 1991, fig.26, for similar; Schinco, G., Small, A.M., 'A previously unknown siege of Botromagno/Silvium: the evidence of slingshots from Gravina in Puglia (Provincia di Bari, Puglia)' in Papers of the British School at Rome, 2019, pp.1-52, figs.36, 37. 121 grams total, 47-58 mm (1 3/4 - 2 1/4 in.).Ex Simmons Gallery, London E11, UK, in the 1990s. From a North London collection.Both the missiles seem to be of ovoid type, type Ia of the Völling classification. The pair finds parallels with examples unearthed at Ham Hill, Somerset, UK. The sling (funda) with its lead missiles (plumbea pondera or glandae) and stone (lapides) was used by special funditores, illustrated on Trajan’s Column where they are simply dressed in broad tunics with no armour, but carry a shield. A fold in their cloak, or sagulum, acted as an ammunition bag. The effectiveness of the slingers was unquestionable and much appreciated, especially against elephants. Celsus, writing towards the end of the 2nd century A.D., described how a slingshot wound was more dangerous and harder to treat than one inflicted by an arrow. [2, No Reserve]
10th-9th century B.C. Comprising mainly tanged arrowheads, the most of them having large elongated triangular blades and raised midrib, sharp central groove, cylindrical or squared stem for the shaft, barbed shoulders and convex sides; others with lanceolate head and rounded shoulders with long tang and foliate-section. See Khorasani, M.M., Arms and Armour from Iran. The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period, Tübingen, 2006, figures 463, 467, and 471, for the types. 103 grams total, 29-68 mm (1 1/8 - 2 5/8 in.).Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection.The most of these arrowheads, having a lozenge-section midrib with thin blades filed sharp at the edges, are typical of the early Iron Age in Luristan. These arrowheads seem to belong to the type V, subcategory types A, C and D according to the classification of Khorasani and Negahban. In the four categories of triangular bronze arrowheads from Luristan, Marlik, and Northern Iran individuated by Negahban, subtypes C and D of type V are larger arrow or javelin heads, C with barbed shoulders and D with round shoulders. Subtype A is substantially similar to C, but smaller. Similar arrowheads are also visible in the Western Iberian and Balkan cultures in the Early Iron Age. [20]
Circa 1942 A.D. By Rodgers, with finely shaped 15cm stiletto blade with traces of original black finish tapering to a steel oval guard and fitted with a brass 'beaded and ringed' shaped hilt secured by a copper pommel nut; the hilt bearing the War Department 'broad arrow' and '2' marks near to the guard; with the original leather scabbard fitted with brass rivets and chape, pierced for belt wear and with the side flaps for sewing cut away as commonly seen when belt worn; the dagger showing wear with minor chipping to the blade, and movement in the hilt. See Thompson, L., Commando Dagger, Paladin, 1985, pp.56-57, for this type. 254 grams, 33 cm overall (13 in.).Property of a Luton, UK gentleman, by inheritance.In the autumn of 1942, the Rodgers firm produced what many consider to be the best of all the wartime Fairbairn-Sykes knives: the 'Beads and Ridges' model (or 'Beaded and Ringed'); so-called for its distinctive grip pattern to the brass hilt of single rings of tiny beads, interspersed between sections of four to seven plain rings. The blade is delicate and uniform, and the weapon, though light, is well balanced. The blade finish was black (as this example) or nickel. All of this type are considered to be at least scarce. According to both Fredrick Stephens and Leroy Thompson the type was a commercial variant for private purchase; however, there are some rare cases of this type which were officially issued with the War Department broad arrow and number marks, as with this example.

After Giambologna (Italian, 1524-1608): A late 18th / early 19th century patinated bronze figural group depicting Nessus and DeianiraProbably ItalianThe centaur on rearing hind legs bearing away the young nude maiden in his right arm, on naturalistic base, raised on a contemporary rectangular stepped porphyry base, 48cm high overallFootnotes:The story of Nessus abducting Deianira was first described in Book IX of Ovid's Metamorphoses. In the story Ovid recounts Hercules and Deianira journeying back to Tyrins and coming upon a swollen river which they had to cross. Nessus, who was already carrying other people across the river, saw them and offered to help. When Hercules reached the other side, however, Nessus turned around and abducted Deianira. Hercules drew an arrow that had previously been dipped in the Hydra's blood and shot it at Nessus. The centaur, as he was dying, persuaded Deianira to collect his blood and use it as a love potion on Hercules. Deianira delivered the poisoned blood to Hercules which proved fatal (in some versions the poison is imbued in a shirt).The present lot depicts the moment that Nessus abducts Deianira. The nude female is shown in dynamic torsion, stabilising herself with one foot on his back, her arms flailing wildly and her head thrown back in fear. LiteratureF.
