Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Cf. for another diadem of similar design and construction see an example in the Athens National Archaeological Museum, ex Helene Stathatos collection and said to be from Thessaly. Ref. Aikaterini Despini, Greek Art: Ancient Gold Jewellery, Athens, 2006 (text in English), pl.29-30, dated to the last quarter of the 4th century BC, and with further bibliography. There is a diadem of similar technique from Canosa, Southern Italy in the Tarentum Museo Archelogico Nationale, inventory number: 22.437, ref. Despini, Op. Cit. No.38, dated to circa 200 BC, and with further bibliography; for another example of similar design and construction refer to the example of a fragment of a diadem (about a third) from the Erotes Tomb, Eretria, Northern Greece, dated to the late 3d century BC, now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Inv. No. 98.798), ref. Herbert Hoffmann & Patricia F. Davidson, Greek Gold: Jewellery from the Age of Alexander, Brooklyn, 1965, p.60, no.3. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. Ancient Greek colonisation began at an early date, during the so-called Geometric period of about 900 to 700 BC, when many seminal elements of ancient Greek society were also established, such as city-states, major sanctuaries, and the Panhellenic festivals. The ancient Greeks were active seafarers seeking opportunities for trade and founding new independent cities at coastal sites across the Mediterranean Sea. By the seventh and sixth centuries BC, Greek colonies and settlements stretched all the way from western Asia Minor to southern Italy, Sicily, North Africa, and even to the coasts of southern France and Spain. Regional schools of artists exhibited a rich variety of styles and preferences at this time. Trading stations played an important role as the furthest outposts of Greek culture. Here, Greek goods, such as pottery, bronze, silver and gold vessels, olive oil, wine, and textiles, were exchanged for luxury items and exotic raw materials that were in turn worked by Greek craftsmen. After the unprecedented military campaign of Alexander the Great, more extensive trade routes were opened across Asia, extending as far as Afghanistan and the Indus River Valley. These new trade routes introduced Greek art to cultures in the East, and also exposed Greek artists to a host of artistic styles and techniques, as well as precious stones. Garnets, emeralds, rubies, and amethysts were incorporated into new types of Hellenistic jewellery, more stunning than ever before. The most important of the Black Sea colonies were Kyzikos, Sinope, Pantikapaion, and Olbia. The colonies along the shores of the northern Black Sea interacted with the local Scythian and Sarmatian peoples who prized the workmanship of the Greek goldsmiths with many examples having been found in the kurgans, or burial mounds, of the aristocracy. This diadem shows many similarities to work found in the Pontic region, as well as the diadem found with the female buried in the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, at Vergina in Greece. The gold pectoral from Thick Barrow, Dnipropetrovsk Region, Ukraine, now in the Hermitage Museum, shares many similarities in style and technique with this diadem, particularly the use of fine wires and the scrolling flowers. The closest parallel to this piece is a gold diadem from Thessaly and dating to the fourth century BC, which is now in the Getty Museum, Malibu. The use of cameos on the front of diadems seems to be particularly associated with the eastern Greek craftsmen and their patrons, with the best known example being the Sarmatian crown from Khokhlach kurgan, now in the Hermitage. The image on this cameo could well be a portrait of the original owner, a highly important individual of the Pontic aristocracy.

Fine condition; handle replaced, some losses to body. Property of an Essex lady; by gift, early 2000s; previously with Charles Ede, London, UK. See Excavations and Surveys in Israel, vol.20, 2008, for similar. The lotus-shaped situla was a symbolic water vessel used in religious rituals.The waters of the Nile were considered sacred in Egypt and they were used in purifying ceremonies from Predynastic times until the end of the Roman period. Scenes in a number of temples across Egypt depict the king or priests sprinkling water from a situla onto the floor of the inner sanctum as part of the daily rituals for the enshrined deity. In the Greek and Roman periods the cult of Isis gained prominence across the Mediterranean and beyond, and the use of sacred water became an essential part of the rituals associated with the goddess. A number of situla have been found at Isis temples across the Roman empire, attesting to their use. At Pompeii, the temple of Isis had a special building for keeping sacred Nile water, and paintings from the site depict priests holding situla and sprinkling water around the temple complex to purify it. In the famous Roman novel The Golden Ass, by Lucius Apuleius, a scene is described where the priests and devotees of the goddess process the sacred statue through the streets of Corinth on a decorated bier, sprinkling water from a situla to purify the ground before the goddess passes over it.

Supplied with two positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificates, and a positive chemical analysis report by Dr A. Hartmann of Sensotec, Otzberg, Germany, number 06016/10/03/2016. Cf. similar ornament and layout on the gold arm ring from Bad Dürkheim, Germany, in Megaw, R.& V. Celtic Art. From its Beginnings to the Book of Kells, London, 1989, item 78; also see Christies Ancient Jewellery sale 2491, Christies Special Exhibition Gallery, New York, 7 December 2011, lot 384, for a similar example with less pronounced faces, which sold for $230,500. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. The ornament on this bracelet, with the faces showing the mouth as a straight line and with slanting eyes (see Megaw, R.& V. Celtic Art. From its Beginnings to the Book of Kells, London, 1989, item 74 for a sheet gold face from Schwarzenbach with similar facial features) and scrolls (see Stead, I. M. and Rigby, V., The Morel Collection, London, 1999, item 1746 for very similar scrolls on a bronze torc) is typically 'Celtic' while the palmette leaf design is directly copied from the Greek (see Stead, I. M. and Rigby, V., The Morel Collection, London, 1999, item 1723 for very similar palmettes, on another bronze torc and this example also has terminals of a similar form); in Greek art this palmette appears frequently, as here, as the termination feature at the foot of a design.
