Lot 597
9th-10th century AD. A bronze discoid head from a dress pin with central quatrefoil within a double incised circle and similar to the outer border; incised (pseudo-?) runic inscription within the concentric rings; solder scar to the reverse for attachment of the pin. 3 grams, 27mm (1"). Found Hampshire, UK, 2018; accompanied by a copy of a Portable Antiquities Scheme report, PAS HAMP-0EE512. The inscription is enigmatic, probably Anglo-Saxon runic, but awaits interpretation which will only be possible when a range of similar finds is available for study. Runic pin-heads from the 8th century are evidenced, including the famous example from Malton, Yorkshire, in the British Museum (accession number 2000,0508.1) and a more recent find from Lincolnshire (PAS - DUR-79B856"). The present find suggests a continuation of this tradition into the period of Viking incursions, possibly influenced by Scandinavian runic practice. Very fine condition. Extremely rare.

Lot 85
After François-Joseph Bosio, (Monagesque 1768 ~ 1845), a bronze model of King Henri IV of France as a Child, portrayed standing and attired in Renaissance dress, a sheathed sword in his left hand; the rectangular base inscribed in the maquette for the foundry, F.BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR 50cm high CATALOGUE NOTES: Bosio was a neoclassical master who sculpted in the great tradition of Canova; this statue, an exception in his work, is an early and successful example of the Troubadour style, which influenced painting from the very start of the 19th century, but had a slightly later impact on sculpture. The precision of costume and accessories is characteristic of the Troubadour style, which views history from an anecdotal, intimate perspective, aiming to move the spectator (unlike neoclassical art, which seeks to edify). The portrayal of kings as children provides a touching contrast between the innocence of their state and the gravity of their destiny. Bosio was probably inspired by a 16th-century portrait of Henry IV at the age of four (Château de Versailles) by François Bunel (1522 ~ 1599), court painter to the kings of Navarre
