GUNS N' ROSES - Slash's Leather Jacket from Paradise City Music Video and Appetite for Destruction AlbumSlash's leather jacket as worn extensively at gigs and public appearances in the early days of Guns N' Roses, including Nigel Dick's music video for their song Paradise City. Considered one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock-and-roll, Slash (aka Saul Hudson) purchased this jacket at Let It Rock on Melrose Blvd. in Hollywood, CA in 1986.Slash wore this exact jacket during GNR's early club tour performances on LA's iconic Sunset Strip and other local clubs prior to the band signing with Geffen Records in March 1986. Images taken by the band's first photographer Marc Canter of Canter's Deli, a Hollywood landmark, documented Slash performing with GNR at these historic Los Angeles venues, including The Troubadour, Roxy, Fender's Ballroom, Whiskey a Go Go, and The Cathouse. The Sunset Strip clubs were influential in the 80's metal scene pioneered by Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Poison, and W.A.S.P., to name a few. According to Slash, "This jacket was stolen from me one evening at the Cathouse nightclub. My security guard and I tracked the thief down, beat him up, and got it back!"Slash wore the jacket throughout the Appetite for Destruction world tour and prominently in the "Paradise City" music video. The music video was filmed with six separate cameras during a live performance at Giants Stadium in New Jersey on August 16, 1988 in front of 77,000 fans. Additional black-and-white footage from their performance was included at The Monsters of Rock Festival at Donington Park in England on August 20, 1988. Slash can be seen wearing this jacket during both performances and in behind-the-scenes shots in the music video. Publicity photos and the back cover of Appetite for Destruction feature Slash wearing this jacket. Many of these images remain in circulation, having been featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and in other renowned print and digital media for more than 25 years. Prior to the band's record deal, they also performed in the Kibitz Room, a bar located in Canter's Deli. Marc Canter, Slash's childhood friend, provided the starving musicians with free food, as seen in the photograph of the band which hangs in the restaurant today. Slash also filmed multiple documentary interviews at Canter's including, "Slash Raised On The Sunset Strip."Many of Canter's images, some of which appear in this listing, are also included in his book, Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction documenting GNR's explosive rise to fame (www.recklessroad.com). In the foreword to the book, Slash says of Canter: "He's my best friend; one of the only good friends that is consistent. I can't nail down in a word what makes Marc the person that he is - he is just a character unto himself..There isn't a better person to actually release any material having to do with the coming together and history of Guns N' Roses, where it went, and what was going on behind-the-scenes."The black leather fringed motorcycle jacket features leather epaulettes with snaps, multiple metal zippers with ball chain details, a buckled waist band, and a silver-colour snake pin affixed to the right lapel. Black leather fringe lines both arms and the back of the jacket. The original red lining was replaced with a blue satin lining due to extensive use. Stitch holes are evident in the leather where the red lining was attached. It also exhibits small scuffs and tears through the leather and some twisting to the fringe from extensive use and age. This jacket remained in Slash's possession until 2016 when he sold his collection, with the proceeds donated to a children's charity. Also included is Slash's personal framed photo of the band accepting an award with Slash again prominently featured wearing the jacket.Please note that a payment plan will not be available for this lot.

A VERY LARGE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A GUARDIANMing DynastyThe imposing figure finely cast standing on a separate kidney-shaped rockwork base, wearing a chain-mail completely covering the body and extending down to the overlapping ruyi-decorated boots, the shoulders of both with high epaulettes and the belly with a large mask, a celestial scarf billowing up behind the head and trailing down to the base, with further knotted ribbons at the waist, the crisply cast face with a lively expression, surmounted by an elaborate pierced crown, holding a mace in his right hand, the left raised to the chest. 63cm (24 6/8in) high.Footnotes:明 鎏金銅天王像Provenance: a European private collection來源：歐洲私人收藏Figures of guardians, such as the present lot, were semi-divine creatures on earth whose function was to guard the four cardinal points of the world and sacred sites as Protectors of the Buddhist Law dharma. According to legends, the four guardian kings were present at every critical moment in the Buddha's life, helping him with his birth, carrying him when he left his father's place, offering him food before his enlightenment and attending his final nirvana.Guardian figures were usually attired as fierce warriors, dressed in interlocking-chain armour and wearing elaborate helmets; they stand in a dramatic pose with flaming aureoles behind their heads representing the Buddhist Law. Their long scarves billowing around their bodies show the celestial nature of their wearers.
