The Sheep Shearing?: A Mid-18th Century Ivory Italian Fan, the guards and gorge pierced and carved, the gorge with two ornate ovals each containing two carved doves, a very central rectangle having the initials ''EG''. The double paper leaf is drawn in ink with a very unusual farming scene, an inhospitable landscape, with workers carrying produce and leading laden oxen, an elderly woman to the left, seated, holding a distaff, used for flax or wool, a man beside her shielding his face with a cloak from the dust, his head covered with a wide brimmed hat. The verso is drawn with simple buildings, beneath which in minute hand is a name, Palmieri and 1769. Guard length 27.5cm. Together with a green leather fan case with cream silk lining. A note in the case says ''Palmieri, invento e fere fece?''Leaf foxed, some nicks to the folds, the ivory slightly discoloured. At least two of the sticks have been reinforced down by the rivet
Vexation: An Early 18th Century Fan, with plain ivory monture save for the guards, which are carved from tip to shoulder with a man with a walking stick above a half-man half-scaled creature. The vellum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, is painted in dark colour along the top and bottom edges, with light touches of gold. The detailed scene shows two men and two ladies, all well dressed in 18th century fashion. The man standing to the left, playing a flute, wears breeches with a large rosette to the knee, matching rosettes on his shoes, the colour of his cloak complementing these accessories. Another man lounges on a formal wooden table or bench, proffering flowers to a lady seated at his side, another lady wearing a low fronted and front- laced corseted bodice observing. The lady to the fore, with voluminous pink skirts seemingly extended to the sides with paniers, her bodice of blue with a peplum to the waist, a pink rose pinned to her bodice, looks vexed by the attention and activity. The verso is plain, save for gold paint to the ribs. Guard length 27.5cmThe leaf is fresh and bright despite some minor marking recto/verso, and some rubbing to the folds.

2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze crossbow fibula with three facetted onion-shaped knops, deep bow with engraved HERCVLI AVGVSTE and DEIS.NON.QVIT, and rectangular footplate. See gold brooch in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (95.15.11) for similar inscription to Hercules Augustus 33 grams, 78mm (3"). Property of a London, UK collector; acquired on the London market in the 1990s. This type of crossbow fibula was used by Roman soldiers to fasten a cloak and during the third century AD became part of the standard military uniform. The inscription HERCULI AUGUSTE refers to a western emperor, most likely augustus Maximian, who was well known as Herculius. After the death of Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Augustus), the name Augustus took on an increasingly titular function and was used by Roman emperors to indicate their imperial power. This would date the brooch within one of Maximian's two reigns, between 286-305 AD and 306/7-308/9 AD. Very fine condition. Rare.
1st-2nd century AD. A bronze statuette of Alexander the Great, head turned to the right, hair arranged in distinctive anastole style; wearing a robe belted at the chest, cloak to the back; both hands extended. 123 grams, 80mm (3 1/4").

13th-15th century AD. A carved limestone statue depicting a standing torso in full-length robe partly covered by a cloak pinned at the right shoulder by a disc brooch; the right hand clutching the hem of the cloak and the left hand resting on the globular pommel of a sword in its scabbard suspended from the belt by a second strap; the reverse of the statue flat with angled sides to fit into a niche, with socket and later iron attachment ring; mounted on a rectangular stone block. 300 kg+, 170cm including base (67 (Available to view at our Harwich head office only)"). Property of a Surrey lady; acquired by her father Christopher Terry in the late 1970s-early 1980s. The representation of the figure and the folds of clothing is quite naturalistic. The format of the sword is rather generic, although the broad guard and pommel are most commonly shown in the period 1050-1300AD (Oakeshott, E. Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 1991, p.12"). Fine condition; lower portion of robe and cloak sympathetically restored probably in the 18th century.

Cf. Chadour, A.B. Rings: The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 587 for type. 16 grams, 24mm overall, 18.89mm internal diameter (approximate size British R, USA 8 3/4, Europe 19.0, Japan 18) (1"). Property of a lady; formerly from an important family collection formed in Munster, Germany during the 1950s; thence by descent. Accompanied by X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate 00899-2017MR. Malcolm Jones, Sheffield University, Dept. English Language & Linguistics, Senior Lecturer 1994-2009 and advisor to the British Museum and Portable Antiquities Scheme, says: 'en bon an -- first word is not the indefinite article but a preposition, so translation is a little misleading. Such rings were given as New Year presents and so there is an implicit wish that the recipient will have a good year – the inscription is fairly common and I'd be tempted to render it Happy New Year – cf. in the BM, the iconographic ring AF.919 and remarks there.' Extremely fine condition. A large wearable size. Rare.

A bronze figure of a Shishimai dancerJapan, Meiji period (1868-1912) Late 19th centuryCast standing on top of bale of rice straw, wearing a large Shishi mask and cloak and holding a suzu and fan in his hand, the mouth of the mask open revealing a man’s face inside, the bale of straw opens to be used as a container.Height 37 cm.Property of a Gentleman. Catalogue note: The shishiodori or Lion dance, is a dance in which the performer wears a decorative lion head (the shishigashira). Shishimai was introduced from the Asian mainland in ancient times as part of the arts of gigaku, bugaku, and sangaku. Originally, it took the form of a dancer performing while wearing a lion costume resembling a stuffed animal. During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods it came to be performed along with sarugaku and dengaku and took on the form that can be seen today. Shishimai can be broadly divided into two-man and one-man varieties. In the former, one performer takes up the position of the head and the other the tail, thus forming a four-footed lion. There are also variations in which several performers form the body of the lion. In the latter one-man variety, a single performer plays the lion's part. This is the variety that can be seen most often in eastern Japan. Lion dances can be considered to have various ritual or symbolic functions, including the display of force to ward off evil, prayers for the protection of agriculture or for rain, harvest celebrations, and memorial services for wild animals.Provenance:Bought by the current owner at the Pan Amsterdam art fair. CONDITION REPORT In overall good condition, with minor crack to the fan.
