Lot 1
A very large carved wood bear, Japan, 20th C. Dim.: 93 x 55 x 54 cm Condition: Very good. The Ainu are an ethnic group, distinct from the Japanese, that live today almost exclusively on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. They were traditionally hunters-gatherers and fishermen. They didn't practice rice farming like the Japanese. They hunted bear, sea otter, deer and other animals, gathered wild plants and fished for whales, seal lions, swordfish and salmon on the open seas until they were driven inland by the Japanese.

Lot 53
UMAYYAD, YUSUF B. ‘UMAR AL-THAQAFI (d. 127h), Square lead seal, uniface, dated 123h. LEGEND: mimma al-amr bihi al-a- | mir Yusuf b. ‘Umar | ‘ala yadi Ishaq b. | Malik sanat | thalath wa ‘ashrin | wa mi’at. DIMENSIONS: 19mm square (approx.), 17.24g. CONDITION: Creased, probably when affixed as a seal, otherwise very fine and very rare. Yusuf b. ‘Umar al-Thaqafi was the cousin of al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf and became governor of Yemen in the year 105h. The caliph Hisham later appointed him to the governorship of Iraq in the year 120h, a position he held until 126h when he was deposed and imprisoned, dying in the following year. Walker quotes a statement by al-Maqrizi to the effect that…’in the year 120…Yusuf ibn ‘Umar al-Thaqafi succeeded…as governor. He decreased the [size of the] die and made them (the dirhams) circulate at the weight of six (danaks) and he minted them in Wasit alone until al-Walid ibn Yazid was killed in the year 126h.’ It is noteworthy that dirhams struck in Wasit from 120 onwards which bear five annulets on the obverse are indeed struck on smaller, thicker flans than earlier issues, and this five-annulet pattern is presumably associated with Yusuf’s governorship.

There is also cracking to the top on the left along the grain of the wood. There is also some sun-fading at the top.

An early 20th century Black Forest carved wood standing bear (probably a stick stand originally), 84 cm high See illustration Condition report Report by GH Has possibly been applied a coat of varnish at some point. There is a chip to the tongue, and some chips around the base. Some of the varnish is also cracking and lifting. Around the back there is a secret compartment of approx. 10 x 25 cm, and there are a couple of vertical cracks to the wood extending from the top and the bottom of this compartment. When viewed from beneath, it is apparent that this figure has been converted from a stick stand as there are two holes beneath the paws. There are also a few wood worm holes, particularly on the top of the paws. Other occasional cracks, chips and scratches. The base is almost certainly not original, and appears in a slightly different shade to the rest of the piece
