Lot 530
Ca. 618-907 AD. A beautiful ceramic "Fat Lady" figure. The lady stands facing forward, with one foot angled to the side. She wears long-sleeved, loose-hanging robes, and the court dress is embellished with delicately detailed upturned shoes. The original pigmentation is still visible on the figure's face, dress, and hair. The facial features, such as the eyes, lips, nose, and eyebrows are picked out by delicate painting. An elaborate coiffure crowns her face. The so called "Fat Lady" was a popular attendant figure among the wealthy as during the Tang dynasty luxurious tastes led to a change in the ideal feminine form, from thin to more buxom body types. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis No. C123a58 carried out by Oxford Authentication, UK. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate will accompany this lot. Good condition.Size: L:520mm / W:160mm ; 4.3kgProvenance: Private UK family collection; acquired in the early 1990s.

Ca. 300-400 AD. An excellent collection of four bronze crossbow brooches, each with three onion-like protrusions, an arched bow, rectangular tail and surviving pin. Crossbow brooches, used for fastening cloaks were an international late Roman type, and were often worn by men in positions of authority, in the military or civil bureaucracy, but also by women.

Both Stilicho and Eucherios wear crossbow brooches to fasten the cloaks on their right shoulders, indicating the importance of this type of dress accessory for those in positions of authority.
