12th-13th century AD. A substantial gilt-bronze Corpus Christi figure with inclined head, knee-length loincloth, feet resting on a rectangular plaque; detailing to the face, torso, cloth and feet, including red garnet cabochon eyes; pierced for attachment, remains of blue and green enamels; mounted on a custom-made stand. 322 grams total, 28.5cm including stand (11 1/4"). From the family collection of a UK gentleman, by descent in the early 1970s; previously acquired before 1960; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10450-170960. Limoges Corpus Christi figures were usually modelled wearing crowns in the 12th-13th century AD, until the latter part of the 1200s when the Church decided that it was no longer acceptable to depict Jesus as a crowned king. This cross is a rare example of the adaptation of an item made towards the earlier part of this period, when Christ would have worn a crown, and adapted towards the end of the 13th century, when the crown was clearly removed. Fine condition. Rare.

15th century AD. A bronze processional cross finial with ribbed socket, flanking bird-head motifs and dense block of tendrils and wheels with cross-shaped finials. See a practically identical specimen in the Walters Art Museum, Ethiopian Gallery, accession number 54.2942; for discussion see Di Salvo, M., Le croci Etiopi, Milano, 1976.645 grams, 28.5cm (11 1/4"). Ex central London gallery; formerly in a UK private collection since 197; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10483-170685. The body of this cross is made of a pattern of interlocking circles. The incised lines at the intersection of vertical and horizontal elements create thirteen small crosses out of the interlaced design of the body. Three larger crosses spring forth at the top and terminal ends of the cross, defining the cruciform shape of the entire artefact. The complicated interlace design is visible in Ethiopian manuscript illumination associated with the Stephanite order at the end of the 15th century AD. Fine condition.
14th-15th century AD. A bronze pendant comprising a cross within a lozenge border with pierced lugs to the angles, integral loop. See Abbink, J., 'The cross in Ethiopian Christianity' in Bongmba, L.K., The Routledge Companion to Christianity in Africa, 2015, New York & London, pp.122-140.13.2 grams, 56mm (2 1/4"). Ex central London gallery; formerly in a New York, USA, private collection. Among the various crosses in use, particular importance is held by the pendant cross, worn visibly above the clothing and made of brass, silver or iron. There are very few old pendant crosses preserved, one of the reasons being the custom to bury them with their owners upon their death. It is believed that three copper crosses in the collection of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa (inv. nr. 6722, 4872, 5182) dating to the 14th or 15th century AD are among the oldest surviving examples. Two very fine 15th century examples, one of copper, one of gilded silver, are kept in the monastic church of Wuqén in the province of Tembén. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
5th-4th century BC. A bronze statuette of a dancing satyr with right leg and arm straight, left leg and arm raised, bearded face with wide slender moustache and pointed ears, bald head, erect penis; recess to the back for acceptance of a tail, now absent. 116 grams, 78mm (3"). Property of an American collector; from an old Suffolk collection; formed 1990-2000; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10507-170367.

8th century BC. A pair of bronze pyxides, each with splayed foot, narrow stem, bulbous body narrowing to the rim and linear incisions to the body; one with triangular lobes, each pierced, and an oval lid pierced twice to match the lobes for suspension; lid with extended winged handles, one incomplete, and central knop handle, mounted on a custom-made stand; the other a 'Sickle' type pyxis with wings to the body, extending down from the rim and recurving upwards, pierced through, and an oval lid pierced twice to match for suspension; lid with winged handles curved to fit with those below, and central knop handle with flat discoid terminal. Cf. Benaki Museum, Athens, accession number: ?? 7888, for type.510 grams total, 10-11cm including stand (4-4 1/4"). Property of an American collector; formerly the property of a North American gentleman; acquired from Fortuna Fine Arts, New York, USA, 2003; previously with Gorny and Mosch, Munich, Germany; formerly from an old private German collection. These lidded bronze pyxides most likely originate from the area of Northern Greece, fitting a type and style typical of the Geometric Period (9th-7th century BC), with linear motifs to the bodies. The vessels would have been hung, as indicated by their perforations, and could have been used to hold perfume or oils. The 'sickle' type pyxis is so-called because of the shape of its wings, which are said to resemble sickles, but elsewhere these wings have been identified as stylised bird protomes. [2, No Reserve] Fine condition.
8th-7th century BC. A bronze musical instrument of the pandura type with U-shaped bronze channel and tapering conical handle; the bow similar with hooked end to receive the bowstring. 296 grams, 63cm (24 3/4").

Aimé-Jules Dalou, (French, 1838-1902): A bronze figure of 'Baigneuse Avant Le Bain (Bather before the bath)'posthumously cast by the Susse Frères foundryon naturalistic canted rectangular base, signed DALOU Scp and inscribed with foundry mark Susse Frères, Paris, Cire Perdue, brown patination, 14.5cm high approximatelyFootnotes:Recognised today as one of the premier sculptors of 19th century France, Aimé-Jules Dalou was admired for his perceptiveness, free execution, and unpretentious realism and was in his day revered in exactly the same manner as his friend and contemporary Rodin would subsequently be to later generations.Dalou's talent was initially recognised by the French sculptor Jean Baptiste Carpeaux who persuaded his parents to allow him to study sculpture at the Petite Ecole and the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Although the sculptor exhibited at the Paris Salon as early as 1861 he was refused the prestigious Prix de Rome which would have done much to further his career due to his political leanings and his opposition to the government during the Second Empire period. However, his sculpture of 'Daphinis and Chloe' was subsequently purchased by the State after it was shown at the Salon in 1869 and he also won worldwide acclaim with his life-size plaster figure of the 'Embroiderer' at the Salon in 1870 both of which exemplify his interest in the female form.As a result of being a supporter of the Paris Commune whilst curator of the Musee du Louvre under Gustave Courbet, he was forced into a period of self-imposed exile from France in 1871 and made his home in London where he was convicted in his absence by the French Government for his involvement with the Commune and given a life sentence although he was eventually pardoned eight years later.Like his contemporary Edgar Degas, Dalou was fascinated with the subject of the female nude and its commercial potential. As such he used his time in London to work and re-work a series of small models depicting idealised female figure in stages of undress before and after bathing. These figures retain a sensitive personal connection between the sculptor and the sitter usually with specific personalised facial features which is perhaps not surprising considering that his favourite model was also his wife, Irma Vuillier.The bather in the present lot is depicted preparing to enter the water, apparently slightly shuddering as she looks down into the stream below. This model also has an added poignancy as the plaster original which was executed by Dalou in 1899 depicts his wife a year before her death. The shock of her tragic loss was also an undoubted contributing factor to the sculptor's own demise eighteen months later.The original model was purchased from Dalou's daughter Georgette in 1905 and is now in the permanent collection of the Musée du Petit-Palais. A marble version is also thought to have been commissioned in 1899 but its whereabouts are now unknown.No commercial bronze editions of his works were apparently produced during Dalou's lifetime as these were discouraged by the sculptor. As such edition casts were not produced until the period post the sculptors death in 1902, when the executors of the sculptor allowed a number of Dalou's works to be cast in limited editions by the A. A. Hébrard foundry. Later, models were made in larger numbers and in a variety of edition sizes by the Susse Frères foundry.Related Literature:A. Simier, Jules Dalou.
