Fearless Greek warrior Achilles wielded his sword when he joined the armies of Agamemnon's (Brian Cox) against the city of Troy and used it to brutal effect against the Trojan Apollonians and in the vicious duel with Hector (Eric Bana). Made of hard rubber with an internal metal armature, the sword consists of a curved leaf-shaped blade finished in faux-gold paint to replicate worked bronze. A raised ridge runs down the length of the blade, and multiple curved inlays decorate the weapon. Finished in black paint, the angular ornate grip features multiple holes, creating the illusion of rivets. Green paint has been added to create the appearance of verdigris. The weapon displays signs of production use, including paint wear, scratching on the blade and bending to the tip, but remains in good overall condition.

The Greek warrior wielded his shield throughout the film, notably alongside his sword during the beach battle sequence where he slaughtered many Trojan soldiers and confronted Hector (Eric Bana) inside the Temple of Apollo. This metal-backed, ornately detailed foam shield is a special effects version rigged to eject a pair of segmented arrows inlaid through holes in the shield's face--an in-camera gag that would make the shield seem as though it had been struck by the arrows. The shield's center boss features figures at war and eight discs situated above them, then finished in black and bronze-color paint. The outline of Achilles' sword also repeats as a pattern around the face, linking the two piece together in a clever piece of design.The reverse is affixed with a black wooden handle, four metal rings, and a concealed pneumatic rig for ejecting the arrows. This shield is in good overall condition with some wear from production, including light scuffs around the edge and minor paint wear.

This sword is made of plastic with an aluminum and resin grip fitted with a retractable blade for accurate stabbing action during film. The sword features a bronze-color paint finish with white inlay along the blade. The mechanism has been damaged during use, so the blade can be depressed but will not return to its standard position without manual assistance. It exhibits signs of wear from age and use, including significant cracking and breakage throughout, and remains in poor overall condition.

A RARE JADE 'PHOENIX' WINE POT AND COVER China, Qing Dynasty, 18th or 19th century Carved in a desirable stone. Shaped as a phoenix standing on its feet, the spout carved as the head, the neck with a loose ring, the handle carved as the tail whose feathers described a circle and continue between the feet up to the front part, the sides carved with the wings, the lid topped by a finial shaped as a phoenix, the inner part masterfully hollowed. Sweet and delicate polish. H: 18 cm - L: 17 cm - w: 4,5 cm Weight: 1050 grams Provenance: > Private collection; > Carlos Alfredo Tornquist Altgelt (1885-1953), O. Ramos Oromi y Cia, Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 27th, 28th and 29th 1936, lot 284; > Joseph Vallot (1854-1925), Drouot, Paris, Messrs Lair-Dubreuil and Portier, November 16th, 17th, 18th 1925. Notes: 1. The use of birds' heads to provide the shape of the spout on pouring vessels has a long history in China. Not only do they appear on bronze vessels, they can also be seen among ceramic wares. Chickens' heads, for example, provide the spout form on a number of Jin dynasty (AD 265-420) ewers with both celadon and black glazes (see The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum 31 Porcelain of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, Commercial Press, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 42, no. 37 and p. 52, no. 47, respectively). The theme of the phoenix to provide inspiration for shape and decoration can be seen in various media in succeeding dynasties, but interestingly the current jade teapot is especially close in concept to the famous Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) blue and white porcelain ewer excavated from the Yuan capital Dadu in 1970. A jade teapot or wine pot with phoenix-head spout, now in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, was loaned by the Chinese Government to the 1935-6 International Exhibition of Chinese Art at the Royal Academy, London (see International Exhibition of Chinese Art, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1935, p. 255, no. 2828) 2. Compare with an imperial phoenix white jade and cover wine pot offered at Christie's London, 2008/11/04, lot 9. 3. Carlos Alfredo Tornquist Altgelt (1885-1953) was the President of the banking house of Ernesto Tornquist Co., Ltd., and a member of a prominent Argentinian family. A person of influence, he is also known to have played a crucial role in helping to avoid a war between Argentina and Chile in 1902 by managing the British mediation in the border dispute. Throughout the years, he maintained a close friendship with Argentina Presidents Julio A. Roca (1843-1914) and Carlos Pellegrini (1846-1906). 4. Joseph Vallot (1854-1925) was a French astronomer, geographer, naturalist, alpinist and patron of arts and sciences, who studied botanic and geology in Paris and later became the President of the Club Alpin Français. In 1875, he fell in love with Mont Blanc and later on built up the first observatory there called Refuge Vallot where he did install a Salon Chinois which received famous visitors including Pope Pius XI. His large collection of Chinese jades was sold at Drouot in 1925 as a signature / single collection / Estate Sale. 珍稀玉“凤凰”酒壶及盖 中国,清朝,18或19世纪
