TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 1833

19th century AD. A massive tubular bronze bracelet, possibly Ashanti, with flared mouths, semicircular concentric panels flanking the border; hinged with a locking pin to the upper edge. Bracelets and anklets are popular in West Africa because of their prestige value and to ward off evil spirits. They are predominantly worn by women as such heavy bracelets with flaring shapes would hinder males engaged in farming and hunting activities. Apart from being decorative they are also used as musical instruments in ceremonies where the wearer will strike them together rhythmically to accompany singing. The number and style of bracelets worn by a woman can also indicate social status and how many children she has had. 969 grams, 12cm (4 3/4").

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 275

2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze bust of Bacchus (Dionysos) with garland in the hair, ties draped to the shoulders, rectangular plaque beneath the chest; the eyes with silver inserts; mounted on a custom-made stand. The cult of Bacchus appears to have originated in Asia Minor, or possibly Thrace, and it absorbed several similar cults from that region. The cult spread rapidly throughout Greece and was introduced into Southern Italy by Greek settlers. By the time the Romans adopted the cult it had become quite complex and had developed into one of the Mystery Cults. Relatively few details are known about the beliefs and rites of Bacchus as various elements of the religion were only revealed to initiates and kept a closely guarded secret, but we do know that a belief in the afterlife and salvation as well as resurrection were central to the cult and Bacchic imagery appears on many sarcophagi. 544 grams, 19cm (7 1/2"). Property of a Surrey collector; acquired in the early 1970s. Fine condition; hole to shoulder.

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 283

Very fine condition.

Live Auction

2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze figurine in the form of an ithyphallic figure with lion's head; iron fixing stud to the reverse.

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 286

2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze figurine in the form of an ithyphallic figure with lion's head; iron fixing stud to the reverse. In the mystery cult of Mithras, a Persian deity popular in the Roman Empire, the lion played an important role. It was the name of one of the seven grades of initiation through which the devotee had to pass as well as being an important deity in its own right. Statues of a lion-headed man have been found at a number of Mithraic temples, usually shown as being naked, winged and having a serpent entwined around its body, and is often shown with the mouth open and tongue hanging out. Although the exact identity of the deity is not known it is thought that it may be either Arimanius, a demon figure of the Zoroastrian pantheon, or Aion, an obscure deity associated with the creation of the universe and time. Small bronze depictions of the deity are very rare, and the imagery of it grasping its erect phallus is extremely so. 15 grams, 36mm (1 1/2"). Property of an Essex collector; found Cambridgeshire, UK. Very fine condition.

TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 294

1st-2nd century AD. A bronze eagle figurine on a pyramidal base, feather detailing to the wings and chest, punched-point pattern to the faces of the base; mounted on a custom-made stand. In Greece and Rome the eagle was the primary sacred animal of Zeus and Jupiter. In Greek mythology the eagle was called Aetos Dios; he was originally a mortal king called Periphas, famed for his virtuous rule. As a reward for his just kingship Apollo transformed him into an eagle and set him beside Zeus as his companion. The eagle has been associated with male sky deities in many Indo-European cultures and is found in India under the guise of Garuda, the sacred eagle mount of the Hindu god Vishnu. The eagle often appears on Roman military equipment, such as military standards, and acts as a protective deity over the soldiers. 297 grams, 86 mm including stand (3 1/2"). Private London collection; acquired in the UK before 1980. Fine condition.
