C. 2nd-1st millennium BC. A spectacular ram-shaped bronze oil lamp. The ramp stands foursquare, looking forward. Large, curved horns, project from its head. On its back is a large filling hole with an out-turned rim and the remains of a hinge for the lid. The ram's long legs terminate in carefully modelled feet. A length cylindrical spout with an upturned end juts out from its chest. Bactra was the Greek name for the area of modern Balkh, in what is now northern Afghanistan and Margiana was the Greek name for the Persian satrapy of Margu, the capital of which was Merv, in today's Turkmenistan. This civilisation was contemporary with the European Bronze Age, and was characterised by monumental architecture, social complexity and extremely distinctive cultural artefacts that vanish from the record a few centuries after they first appear.

c.10th-12th century AD. Seljuk. A beautiful cast bronze figure depicting a feline standing in profile, its captivating visage comprised of a large nose, rounded perky ears. Its dramatic countenance is enhanced by incised diagonal lines to represent fur surrounding the mouth. Its body stands with strong posture connoting pride, and its tail wraps over his back. An outstanding example of Seljuk metalwork. The Seljuks were a Turkic dynasty of Central Asian nomadic origins. Having defeated the Ghaznavids in the eleventh century they took over Baghdad in 1055 A.D. At one point the empire stretched across Iran, Iraq and much of Anatolia, which led to the creation of countless works of art. By the end of the eleventh century however dynastic disputes led to the division of these lands. The main branch- the so-called Great Seljuks- maintained control over Iran. This was a golden age for Islamic art typified by innovation and experimentation. In metalwork one of the most important developments was the practice of inlaying bronze or brass objects with precious metals such as copper, silver or gold. Bronze casting flourished and famous workshops were established in Khorasan and the surrounding area. Good condition; beautiful patina.

Ca. 206 BC - 220 AD. Han dynasty. Beautiful decorated bronze mirror. The small fluted loop is framed by a concave square border from which four heart-shaped leaves radiate, each supporting short straight stems terminating in further leaves, divided by four large grooved 'T' motifs converging from the raised rim, all on a fine ground of hooks, wings and feathers. The Han Dynasty, which ruled between 202 BC-220 AD, brought great prosperity and stability to China, reigning over a golden age of classical Chinese civilisation during which China saw major advances including the widespread development of a monetary economy and the invention of paper, as well as much progress in the decorative arts. As early as 2000 B.C., bronze technology was highly developed in China, and objects made from this alloy of copper, tin, and lead were considered luxury items, reserved for the aristocratic class. Among these coveted pieces were small bronze mirrors. Usually cast from clay molds, they were highly polished on one side, offering a reflective surface, while the other side was decorated with intricate patterns and designs that reveal an astonishing level of skill and artistry in their craftsmanship. Birds, dragons, and serpents were common motifs in the earliest mirrors. Later, more sophisticated and intricate designs included mythological figures, deities, animals of the Chinese zodiac, abstract patterns, background textures, inscriptions, enamelwork, and inlays of jade, turquoise, and mother-of-pearl.

C. AD 618-907. Tang Dynasty. Astonishing flower shaped bronze mirror. The center showcases an interesting scene with mythical creatures running around on either side of the perforated central lug. The rim is also finely decorated. The octofoil shape of this mirror is typical of the Tang Dynasty. Centre suspension lugs, a chord would have been wound through this hole to serve as a handle. The Chinese magic mirror is an ancient art that can be traced back to the Chinese Han dynasty (206 BC-24 AD). The mirrors were made out of solid bronze. The front is a shiny polished surface and could be used as a mirror, while the back has a design cast in the bronze. When bright sunlight or other bright light reflects onto the mirror, the mirror seems to become transparent. If that light is reflected from the mirror towards a wall, the pattern on the back of the mirror is then projected onto the wall. They were used not only as functional artifacts, but also as sacred objects. The Chinese believed mirrors not only reflected light, but also had the ability to radiate it and thus illuminate the tomb for eternity. Often multiple mirrors were entombed close to the body of the deceased. They were also considered powerful talismans that would let you see into the spirit world.

Lot 71

C.3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. Beautiful, large alabaster vessel with amber-coloured slip and dark bands swirling around its body. Clearly, the craftsman knew how to take advantage of the swirling bands of colour of the alabaster to give a sense of movement as a decorative element on the vessel. The shoulder are presented with knobs and topped with a flared rim. Alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward.The purpose of such a vessel is not known. Pieces like this one often came from burials and votive offerings. Along with others that make up the typology of stone vessels, together with the well-known column or circular idols, these are all characteristic of the Bactrian material culture. This piece relates to an ancient culture referred to both as the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BCAM) or as the Oxus Civilisation. The Bactria-Margiana culture spread across an area encompassing the modern nations of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Northern Afghanistan. Flourishing between about 2100 and 1700 BC, it was contemporary with the European Bronze Age, and was characterised by monumental architecture, social complexity and extremely distinctive cultural artefacts that vanish from the record a few centuries after they first appear. Pictographs on seals have been argued to indicate an independently-developed writing system.It was one of many economic and social entities in the vicinity, and was a powerful country due to the exceptional fertility and wealth of its agricultural lands. This in turn gave rise to a complex and multifaceted set of societies with specialist craftsmen who produced luxury materials such as this for the ruling and aristocratic elites. Trade appears to have been important, as Bactrian artefacts appear all over the Persian Gulf as well as in the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley. For this reason, the area was fought over from deep prehistory until the Mediaeval period, by the armies of Asia Minor, Greece (Macedonia), India and the Arab States, amongst others.Through local stone carvers inhabiting the regions of Margiana and Bactria experienced no shortage in material; the main raw material was soft steatite or a dark soapstone, but also various kinds of marble and white-veined alabaster. The main source for these stones, including semi- precious lapis-lazuli, was in Bactria, at Badakhshan in north-western Afghanistan, which provided material not only for the Bactrian and Margian carvers but also farther to the west into Mesopotamia, for the Assyrian kings.
