C. 1000 BC. Hallstatt Culture. Cast bronze zoomorphic amulet in the form of a ram with short snout, long curving horns, clearly delineated legs and docked tail; a suspension hole runs horizontally behind the ram’s shoulders. Animal amulets are common in Bronze Age cultures, as they might associate their owners with the positive natural qualities – strength and fearlessness, for example – of wild beasts or the prestige of owning domesticated animals. The Hallstatt Culture, named for the village in Austria where it was first identified, is a Bronze Age Culture which flourished in much of Western and Central Europe between the 12th and 8th centuries BC; it is commonly associated with Proto-Celtic and Proto-Celtic societies and is known for the richness of its metalworking traditions. Excellent condition; beautiful patina.Size: L:43mm / W:23mm ; 7.43g; Provenance: From an old British collection formed in the 1990s;
C. 1000-800 BC, Celtic Bronze Age. Bronze axe head with short curved blade, elongated, cylindrical cheek with a single rib running around the outside and a reinforced, flaring socket.

* Dutton (Thomas Goldsworthy). "The Great Eastern" Steam Ship, 22,500 Tons, The Great Ship Company (Limited) Owners. William Harrison Esq. Commander. Built at the Millwall Iron Works by J. Scott Russell Esq. - I.K. Brunnell Esq. F.R.S.D.C.L. &c &c Engineer, London: Wm. Foster, September 20th 1859, colour lithograph by Day & Son after T.G. Dutton, few repaired closed tears mostly to right-hand, scattered spotting, 385 x 570 mm, mountedQty: (1)NOTESThe iron sailing steamship SS Great Eastern was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel who affectionately knew her as the "Great Babe". She was built by J. Scott Russell & Co. at Millwall Iron Works on the River Thames, London. The ship had the capacity to carry 4000 passengers from England to Australia without the need to refuel and was launched on 31st January 1858. At the time she was the largest ship ever built, with a length of 692 feet (211 m) and was only surpassed in 1899 by the 705-foot (215 m) 17,274-gross-ton RMS Oceanic, her gross tonnage of 18,915 was only surpassed in 1901 by the 701-foot (214 m) 21,035-gross-ton RMS Celtic, and her 4,000-passenger capacity was surpassed in 1913 by the 4,935-passenger SS Imperator. The SS Great Eastern was built with five funnels which were later reduced to four and also had the largest set of paddle wheels. During her maiden voyage on 9 September, the ship had just passed Hastings when there was a huge explosion, the forward deck blowing apart with enough force to throw the No. 1 funnel into the air, followed by a rush of escaping steam. Five stokers died from scalding, while four or five others were badly injured and one had leapt overboard and was lost. The accident was caused by a feedwater heater's steam exhaust having been closed. After repair, she served for several years as a passenger liner between Britain and North America before being converted to a cable-laying ship and laying the first lasting transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866. She finished her life as a floating music hall and advertising hoarding (for the department store Lewis's) in Liverpool and was finally broken up on Merseyside in 1889.
