AD 900-1100. Viking Age. An elegant necklace comprised of carnelian beads of various shapes (spheres, cylinders and barrels) and small silver pendants featuring engraved and applied decoration. The centrepiece of the necklace is a larger bell-shaped plate pendant with scalloped edges, a border of applied baubles and lightly engraved geometric motif, possibly intended to represent a tree. The era known as the Viking age lasted for more than 300 years, from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. The history of the Vikings is closely linked to their role as masters of the sea. They were feared as fierce and ruthless raiders, but were also traders and skilled craftsmen, as this beautiful piece attests. Excellent condition; professionally restrung; wearable.Size: L:295mm / W:212mm ; 44.3g; Provenance: Important London collection of Ancient art; formed in 1970-80s then passed by descent.
C. 360 BC. Ancient Greek. A rare red figure terracotta krater with a broad rim, bell-shaped body flanked by two lug handles, and a pedestalled ring foot. Side A depicts a cloaked female figure holding a branch and a circular object, perhaps a drum, who follows a nude male, who holes a staff and a bucket. Side B features a sacrifice scene comprising two figures holding staffs who stand either side of a flame-topped altar. The scenes are separated by vegetal motifs and are framed by a wave frieze (above) and a geometric spiral frieze (below) running around the whole of the vessel. Ancient wine was considerably stronger than its modern counterparts and often had to be mixed with water, spices and honey in kraters like this one order to make it less potent. 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. Excellent condition.Size: L:390mm / W:400mm ; 11kg; Provenance: From an important British collection of Mr. C.S.; originally acquired in the 1980s on the UK/European art markets.
