Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, Ca. 664-32 BC.A gilt wood and bronze Ibis depicted seated, the body sculpted in wood, covered in gesso and gilt, the closed wings articulated, the legs and the head each separately cast of bronze and inserted, the legs folded under, with a sinuous neck and long hooked bill, the eyes inlaid below ridged brows, two tenons below each leg for insertion. Thoth, a multipurpose god in the Egyptian pantheon associated with language, writing, and intellectual activity, was most often depicted with an ibis head and human body. In the Late Period and Ptolemaic Period, ibises were bred throughout Egypt to be slaughtered, mummified, and offered as votives to Thoth. Gilt, wood, and bronze ibises, such as the present example, were often formed as coffins for mummified ibises, or as boxes for "dummy mummies" formed of straw and mud. With or without the mummy, the ibis-form figure would have likely been an offering to the god. Restored. For a similar see The Vatican Museums, Inventory: MV.37295.0.0. BODY RESTORED.

The Pilos helmet takes its name from a felt cap of similar shape, often illustrated in depictions of herdsman and other outdoor workers. During the 5th-3rd centuries B.C., the type was popular because of its high level of functionality and ease of production. Pilos helmets show the evolution towards lighter and more flexible gear, with greater ability to breathe, see and hear without the faceplates of the earlier Corinthian type. Their simple conical design was also more economical and easier to construct. By the late 4th century, many were equipped with cheek guards and a flaring neck guard, as seen here.Size: L:290mm / W:225mm ; 700gProvenance: Property of an European collector; formerly in Ing. P.

In a special order colour, effectively one owner and just 2,730 miles from new. Unrepeatable.YDW 944T was built at Halewood during September of 1978 and was registered in January 1979 to its one and only owner, a Mr Nigel Rickets who had ordered the car through Larkfields of Chepstow who were a Ford main dealer at that time. It is believed to have been one of six 'special order' examples finished in black and was originally ordered on a 'decal-delete' basis, proof of which is detailed under the bonnet. It seems strange to have to pay for black when in the past all Ford cars were black with no other options, however, the colour is not listed on Escort colour charts from 1978.During September of 1978, the Ford plant endured an 11-week industrial action walk out and the original buyer cancelled his order leaving this black beauty available when it was finished and Mr Rickets was quick off the mark, immediately securing a deal with Larkfields to become the first owner. The car's original invoice to the value of £3,300 is supplied and it lists as extras the aforementioned Ford black paint at £37.39, bronze-tinted glass at £39.31 and full underseal treatment at £25.00. The car is also supplied with an operating guide within a plastic wallet, the original 175X Michelin tyres looking surprisingly well for their advancing years, the jack and wheel brace and the whole car is described as 95% original. Although MOT exempt, it has been gone through thoroughly , with the exception of the exhaust and is ready for an MOT should any potential buyer wish to do so. We understand that it starts immediately and sounds sweet, probably not surprising given the tiny mileage.A glance at our images will confirm this little Escort's remarkable condition with an interior that is virtually 'showroom-fresh'. This is a one-off opportunity to purchase such a rare car and, with only 2,730 miles from new, is surely unrepeatable. The Ford was left in a Will, but has not been put into another name, so this is effectively still a 'one owner' car !

Very impressive Plus 8 restored and upgraded to a level rarely seen.Although Rover's attempts to acquire the Morgan Car Company in 1966 had proved fruitless, it nevertheless granted the sports car manufacturer access to its newly acquired, ex-Buick lightweight aluminium V8 engine with a view to cementing a supply contract. Hired by the Malvern works to assess the powerplant's merits/suitability, race engineer Maurice Owen lost little time in shoehorning one into a Morgan Plus 4 chassis. With trials of the resultant prototype successfully undertaken in 1967, the Plus 8 debuted at the following year's Earls Court Motor Show.Its lengthy production run has seen the Plus 8 alter little in outward appearance, save for ever widening wheelarches accommodating fatter rubber, yet beneath the skin the changes have been innumerable. Better gearboxes, fuel injection, rack-and-pinion steering, improved corrosion protection and paint, telescopic rear dampers, air bags and the obligatory catalytic converter have all become part of the Plus 8 picture over the years, along, of course, with bigger engines to offset the inevitable increase in weight.Dating from 1990, E9 MOG was chosen by our vendor for it’s exceptional build quality having been restored by renowned Morgan expert Kevin Vernon of Tudor Motors. During the process the car benefitted from many refinements and upgrades and it's estimated that the parts and labour costs for the enhancements and upgrades ‘E9 MOG’ enjoys, would be in the region of £40,000 in today’s market. These include;· RPI new Land Rover 4.6-litre V8 engine - recent Dyno rolling-road test indicating 230bhp· RPI Piper 272 fast road cam· RPI lightened flywheel· RPI Superflare plenum trumpets· RPI chromed Morgan plenum chamber· Jaguar/Bosch AFM· FSE adjustable rising-rate fuel pressure regulator· Mallory Unilite distributor (bespoked to the car)· Mallory high performance chrome coil· RPI chromed valve covers· Morgan branch manifolds (metalized)· Stainless twin Morgan exhaust system· JEGS polished stainless exhaust tips· Griffin bespoke performance-fit aluminium radiator· SPAL electric cooling fan· Mulberry polished aluminium overflow· Morgan R380 5-speed gearbox (rebuilt)· Morgan Salisbury steering rack· Mulberry anti-tramp bars· Shortened Morgan rebound springs· Morgan suspension rear hoop· Hard chromed Kingpins with bronze bushes· Rutherford AVO shock absorbers (front & rear)· Caparo Morgan brake hydraulics & calipers (upgraded)· Portferfield fast road brakes· Kunifer brake lines & stainless flexible brake hoses· 4 x New Michelin Primacy tyres· Refurbished alloy wheels· Fully refurbished chassis (stripped, primed, painted & sealed) with stainless steel fittings· Wooden chassis elements removed & re-treated with another Cuprinol coat· New Superform (lightweight) front & rear wings· Polished Heart of England front & rear plinths, door latch covers etc· Morgan telescopic mirror bases with upgraded mirrors· Chromed Morgan windscreen supports· Polished stainless luggage carrier· Jaguar X120 Tri-pod halogen headlamps· Lucas LR576 chrome sport lamps· Bespoke Kauffelt dash made by Mathias (incorporating VDO instruments)· Bespoke rear storage bins· 6006E 6-Disc CD multi-changer (Burr Walnut Fascia) with Infinity speakers· Original mohair top, tonneau & side-screens· Classic chrome lap-latch seatbelt systemThe car appears superbly finished in Bentley Sapphire Blue with a discreet pearl-effect and the original leather upholstery has been well cared-for and remains in excellent condition.
