TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 711

2nd century BC-1st century AD. A group of miniature silver votive bird models each with saddle-shaped body, hatched bands, bulbous head, two with scooped beak and two with pointed beak; all concave to the underside. See Green, M Animals in Celtic Myth and Life, 1992, London. 11 grams total, 18-27mm (3/4 - 1"). Property of a Suffolk gentleman. The duck appears in a number of contexts in Celtic art, mainly on vessels associated with feasting. Ducks are also sacred to the Gallic goddess, Sequana who had a major healing shrine based at the source of the river Seine in Burgundy, France. A bronze figure was found at the temple depicting Sequana standing in a boat which had a duck head at the prow. The duck appears to be an attribute of a celestial deity as well. We know that in the Celtic period the sun and sky gods were complicated figures who were linked not only with the heavens but also with water and the underworld. It is possible that the duck was perceived as a suitable solar emblem because it was both able to fly and swim, thus bringing together the elements of sky and water. To the pagan Celts, the sun and water were both related to healing and so it is possible that small votive images such as these were offered at shrines in the hope of a cure.

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 712

3rd century BC-1st century AD. A mixed group of bronze miniature axeheads, looped and socketted, two with transverse ribs to the mouth, one with lateral lugs. See Green, M. The Religions of Civilian Roman Britain, British Archaeological Reports 24, 1976, pages 42-43; Green, M. Small Cult Objects from the Military Areas of Roman Britain, British Archaeological Reports 52, 1978, p.32-33. 23 grams total, 19-27mm (3/4 - 1"). Found on various sites in South East England. The axe as a sacred object may be traced back in Europe to at least the Bronze Age and model axes have been found at the shrine of Zeus at Dodona in Greece, and dedicated to the Mother Goddess in caves on the island of Crete, from the second millennium BC. In the late Bronze Age and the early Iron Age the axe becomes associated with the sun cult and examples have been found decorated with wheels or swastikas, both solar symbols. The custom of manufacturing miniature tools and implements as votive offerings was extremely common in the Romano-Celtic world where they are commonly found associated with temple sites or deposited in springs, pools, lakes or rivers. The most common dedications of miniature axes are to Jupiter, Minerva or the Deae Matres, the Mother Goddesses, and the sacred axe is depicted being held by the Celtic god Succelus on pottery from the Hadrians Wall region. Examples of miniature votive axes have been found at shrines in Britain such as Hockwold in Norfolk, Brigstock in Northamptonshire and Woodeaton in Oxfordshire. [3] Fine condition.

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 731

2007 AD. A bronze maquette bust of Baroness Thatcher at the time of her resignation in 1990, on a rectangular base with threaded sockets to the underside, a private commission sculpted by the renowned official Margaret Thatcher artist Antony Dufort. 335 grams, 11cm (4 1/4"). Property of an English gentleman. In 2003, Antony Dufort was commissioned by the Advisory Committee on the Works of Art to produce a bronze statue of Baroness Thatcher, the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain, to be installed by the doors to the Commons Chamber in the Palace of Westminster, opposite the statue of Winston Churchill. The sculpture was the first of a former Prime Minister to be installed during the lifetime of the subject, after a change to the parliamentary rules in 2002 which previously forbade the erection of statues of living parliamentarians in the House. It was unveiled on 21 February 2007 by the then Speaker of the House of Commons, the Rt Hon. Michael Martin MP. Thatcher, known as the 'Iron Lady' during her tenure of office, quipped: I might have preferred iron, but bronze will do. It won't rust. A smaller bronze statue of the baroness, also by Dufort, was sold for £210,000 in February 2015 at a private Conservative Party auction. Thatcher's pose was selected to show her in vigorous debate, papers in one hand, jabbing with the forefinger of the other. At a private viewing before the public ceremony, Baroness Thatcher declared that she was 'thrilled' with the portrayal. Dufort was chosen for the task because of his reputation, arising from previous works depicting Nottinghamshire miners. He studied history at New College Oxford, from 1967 to 1971 and took a Masters Degree in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art, London, in 1976. He has exhibited widely in Europe and the USA. Portraits and sculptures by Dufort are housed in many notable private, public, corporate and museum collections. In the field of sculpture, he specializes in portraiture, historical figures, the representation of movement and the mining industry. Very fine condition.
