The first Monza generation was provided exclusively with a Calibre 15 and characteristic small second-hand stood at 10 o'clock. The name 'Monza' above the classical Heuer Logo in the upper part of the dial was a contrast to the Autavia, Carrera and Calculator models using the Calibre 15, where the name was put at 9 o'clock. The dial was surrounded by a pulse- and tachymeter scale, both very important for the world of motor sports. On Monza models, reference and serial numbers were engraved to the case back different from other Heuer model series where they are often between the lugs at 6 and 12 o'clock. The Monza was meant to attract a younger target group with its stylish look.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

With this new patented technique, Heuer negotiated with Piquerez for exclusivity. The Monaco would be the first square automatic chronograph with a water-resistance watch case.Jack Heuer searched for a name that would appeal to the chic, high-end crowd that would enjoy the new bold design, racing enthusiasts who would frequent places like Monte Carlo. Heuer had already developed the 'Monte Carlo' stopwatch, a legendary dashboard timepiece used for the 'Rally Monte Carlo' in the works Minis and Porsche 911's. He realized that '' Monaco'' would appeal to the elite market strongly appreciating the revolutionary chronograph.Finally the Heuer Monaco the world's first self-winding rectangular chronograph was introduced with simultaneous press conferences on the 3rd of March 1969, in Geneva and New York. Jack Heuer characterises this as the most important product launch during his career. The newly developed Cal.11 automatic movement used 17 jewels, an unbreakable mainspring, was antimagnetic, and had shock protection, but its most distinctive feature was the placement of the winding crown at the left side. A successful advertising campaign was highlighting that with an automatic chronograph, the user would touch the crown only for time setting.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

See Ingholt, H., Gandharan Art in Pakistan, New York, 1957; Liu, X., Ancient India and Ancient China: Trade and Religious Exchange, AD 1–600, Oxford University Press, 1994; Taddei, M. ‘Afghanistan, Sculpture’ in Dictionary of Art, New York, 1996; Zwalf, W., A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture in the British Museum, 2 vols., London: British Museum Press, 1996; Behrendt, K.A., The Art of Gandhara in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2007; Brancaccio, P., The Buddhist Caves at Auraganbad: transformation in Art and Religion, Leiden-Boston, 2011.1.6 kg total, 22cm including stand (8 1/2"). Ex property of a London lady; formerly in the David Lindhal collection since 1969; accompanied by an archaeological expertise by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10408-169982. Gandharan control of the high mountain passes was vital to the international commerce of the sea routes cross the Arabian Sea, which supplied an expanding overland trade through Gandhara and continued on to Central Asia and China. This made the region wealthy and the resulting cosmopolitan elites of Gandhara became some of the most powerful Buddhist patrons in all of South Asia. Buddhism probably reached Gandhara as early as the 3rd century BC; sculptures representing Buddha began to be present from the 1st or 2nd century AD. The hairstyle of our bronze, the form of his robes, and the treatment of the drapes, reflect stylistic contacts with the classical traditions of the West. The sensitive modelling of the head and face has an expressive quality not seen in the more formal images in stone from this period. The depictions of the Buddha seated on a platform over which a plain cloth is draped. The way in which the drapery folds, suggest that this is a cloth of medium weight, but in our example, the Buddha is seated on a low, backless throne and the textile over the throne is thick and elaborately decorated. The decoration occurs in vertical panels, of which the centre panel is almost a square and shows the embroidery with the two bodhisattvas, the enlightened beings who have put off entering paradise in order to help others attain enlightenment. The figure of the central Buddha flanked by the bodhisattvas is well visible in the Gandhara art, and a similar example to our small sculpture is the beautiful image of the Aurangabad cave no.5, interior shrine, where the main Buddha in padm?sana is flanked by bodhisattvas. Very fine condition.

2nd-3rd century AD. Of imposing size and presence while retaining Buddha's serenity, this carved larger than life-size schist head shows Gandharan sculpture's Graeco-Roman legacy; the naturalistic carving of the facial features from ridged eyebrows to rounded chin; the locks of hair flow in sinuous symmetrical waves from the widow's peak to the dome of his ushnisha; the ears are shown long with looped earrings drawing the lobes down towards the neck; the urna sits in low relief above the nasal ridge; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Jongeward, D., Buddhist Art of Gandhara in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2018, item 70. Exhibited at ‘The Buddha Image: Out of Uddiyana’, Tibet House, 22 West 15th Street, New York, 16 September-20 October 2010, extended to 16 November and again to 7 January 2011; accompanied by a copy of the main Tibet House exhibition press release which shows an image of several of the most important items in the exhibition, including this piece which is first on the left. 32.3 kg, 60cm including stand (23 1/2"). Acquired for the ‘Buckingham Collection’ by the late Nik Douglas (1944-2012), renowned author, curator and Asian art expert; the collection formed from the early 1960s to early 1970s; displayed at the major exhibition ‘The Buddha Image: Out of Uddiyana’, Tibet House, 22 West 15th Street, New York, 16 September-20 October 2010, extended to 16 November and again to 7 January 2011; where the collection of one hundred pieces was publicly valued at US$ 15M; this piece was scheduled to be included in an exhibition entitled ‘On the Silk Route; Birth of The Buddha’, to be held in London from November 2012, but sadly his death prevented this; accompanied by copies of several press releases and articles for the exhibition, including Artnet News, This Week in New York, Huffpost and Buddhist Art News. Accompanied by geologic report No. TL005265 by geologic consultant Dr R. L. Bonewitz; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10458-170299. Dr Bonewitz notes: 'No definite source localities have been identified for the stones used by the Gandharan sculptors, but the predominant rock was an alumina-rich chloritoid-paragonite-muscovite-quartz schist, probably from Swat.'

Lot 364
Late 2nd-early 3rd century AD. A complete bronze female type sports mask of Robinson's Type E and of Mater Castrorum type, composed of two parts: the face mask with female features, the lips slightly parted, nose with ventilation holes, openwork eyes with delicately pierced rings forming the irises, hatched detailing to eyelashes and eyebrows, the falling wavy hairstyle that of a Roman Matrona, adorned with diadems, garlands and other jewellery, the hair divided into two sections, the first section framing the face and the second section worn as a wig over the other, attachment holes to the lower edge; the back part of the mask covered with curly hair, a small bun at the nape of the neck, the short neck guard with holes for fastening the lining, a fastening rivet to the top of the skull flanked by two small horns. See Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975; Garbsch, J., Römische Paraderustüngen, München, 1979; D'Amato, R. and Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017.890 grams total, 26-28cm (10 1/4 - 11"). From an important East Anglian collection of arms and armour; acquired from a Dutch private collection in the 1990s; previously in a Swiss family collection since before 1980; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10301-168686. As explained by Prof. A. Negin, female masks were the result of the ceremonial aspect of life in the Roman imperial army and were a cultural phenomenon. Consequently, it is rather difficult to interpret the purpose of each specific mask; however, in general, it is possible to discuss their basic functions associated with various ceremonial practices. Our mask, which finds assonance with a face-mask helmet of the same period from a private collection in Plymouth, Providence Academy, or with the three-part Pfrondorf helmet (D’Amato-Negin, 2017, figs.170, 262), could have been either of the well known types of female mask helmets in the Roman army, either a stylised representation of the Gorgon Medusa, or most probably representing the ‘Mother of the Camp’ (Mater Castrorum").

Lot 367
Mid 1st-mid 3rd century AD. A double-edged iron sword of Pompeii typology with parallel cutting edges tapering towards the triangular point, battle nicks to the edges, shallow blood channel and long tang. See Curle, J., A Roman Frontier Post and its People, the Fort of Newstead in the Parish of Melrose, Glasgow, 1911; Bishop, M. C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Antonucci, C., ‘The Praetorians, the bodyguard of the Emperor Trajan, 2nd cent. AD’, in Ancient Warrior,1, Stockport, 1994, pp.3ff.; Feugère, M., Weapons of the Romans, Port Stroud, 2002; Bishop, M. C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006; Miks, C., Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; for very similar specimens see Miks, 2007, n.A792 (Windisch, length 64 cm); A821 (Zwammerdam, length 71cm); A302 (Hofstade Steenberg, length 64cm); A369 (Korytnica, length 76.2cm); A354 (Klein-Winternheim, length 67cm).855 grams, 84cm (32"). Property of an English collector; acquired in the Netherlands before 2000; accompanied by an expertise by military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10397-169266. This kind of sword was much more suitable than the older Mainz typology for the fight against the Germanic tribes, allowing the legionary to deliver equally successful blows by stabbing and chopping. The specimen in question presents a very elongated blade and it is possible that it was used as weapon from horseback, representing a sort of transitional type between the short gladius and the long cavalry spatha. Similar long Pompeii blades specimens have been found in the Barbaricum (Korytnica) and in military camp of Germania Inferior (Zwammerdam) and although at first sight they seem more similar to later spathae, they are examples of the great variety of weaponry existing inside the Roman army, and of the way in which its structure was able to adapt itself to its various military needs. They also present a noteworthy problem in regards of dating, because without a precise archaeological context, they can range from the 1st to the 3rd century AD (specimens from Windisch, Zwammerdam"). Fine condition.
Lot 39
7th-6th century BC. A terracotta amphora with body divided into four horizontal registers separated by thick black and red lines; a variety of animals depicted on a yellow background with rosettes; leopards, lions, bulls and geese painted with black slip; their details rendered with a red-purple pigment and incised lines. See Smith, T. Jo., A Companion to Greek Art. 1, Wiley-Blackwell, 2012.470 grams, 20cm (8"). Property of an Austrian private collector since the 1970s. Corinth dominated the Mediterranean pottery industry from the second half of the 7th century BC through the first half of the 6th century BC. Corinthian ceramics were typically light yellow or white clay decorated with black, white, and red glazes. This style of pottery often uses Near Eastern, or 'orientalising' motifs, depicting real and mythological animals in registers crowded with incised rosettes. While dot rosettes are typical of Proto-Corinthian ware, 'ripe' Corinthian vessels of the late seventh and early six century BC are characterised by their incised rosettes, using lines to indicate the individual petals. Fine condition, rim chipped.
Lot 497
1575-1600 AD. A substantial gold finger ring with D-section hoop, high-relief scrolled foliage on a pounced field to the bezel and shoulders; cell with contemporary inset carnelian intaglio profile male bust possibly of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, with radiate crown of an emperor in the classical style, of Italian workmanship. Cf. Scarisbrick, D., Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty, London, 2007, item 41, for this ring type with similar inset carnelian profile bust intaglio; see Goldstein, G., Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550-1604), in Elizabethan Review for a summary of de Vere's life and works; see Webbe, W., A Discourse of English Poetrie, 1586, Puttenham, E., The Art of English Poetrie, 1589; and Peacham, H., The Compete Gentleman, 1622, for details of his literary works and connections.11.87 grams, 27.57mm overall, 22.02mm internal diameter (approximate size British V, USA 10 1/2, Europe 23.77, Japan 22) (1"). Found by Tomasz Krawczuk while searching with a metal detector near the River Colne, between Halstead and Hedingham Castle, Essex, UK, on 3 December 2018; declared as treasure under the Treasure Act, Treasure Case number 2018 T1046, and disclaimed on 12 March 2020; accompanied by copies of a letter from the British Museum, the treasure report, and the Portable Antiquities Scheme report number ESS-A69E73; an independent specialist report and valuation by graduate gemmologist and jewellery expert Anna Rogers, GIA GG, BA, Gem-A, ref. no. 8697/07/12/20; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10431-168697. The ring's find spot is in the area between the villages of Castle Hedingham and Halstead, a tract of land held from the time of the Norman invasion of the late 11th century by the de Vere family. This wealthy dynasty included several earls of Oxford and other notables. The castle was one of the de Veres' principal seats throughout the medieval period, but was sold off in 1625. One owner of the castle estate was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (12 April 1550-24 June 1604), who was a favourite at the court of Queen Elizabeth but was considered unsuited for any responsible office due to his volatile temper. He was a champion jouster, and travelled throughout France and Italy in pursuit of fame. He had literary ambitions and was noted for his love poetry and his work as a playwright, though none of his plays are known to survive. He was admired for his patronage of literary, religious, musical, and medical works. His family was associated with artistic endeavours of many kinds and supported troupes of actors known as Oxford's Men and Oxford's Boys; the former troupe mostly toured the provinces while the latter played at the Blackfriars Theatre, the lease of which was passed to John Lyly, secretary to the 17th Earl. William Webbe and George Puttenham each consider de Vere to be 'first' among Elizabeth I's courtier poets and there are a number his poems surviving in published form. An interesting aside concerns the association of Edward's name with the works of William Shakespeare by J. Thomas Looney, Shakespeare Identified in Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.

Lot 517
Late 17th century AD. A small wooden folding polyptych with carved frame and suspension block, painted scenes including nimbate figures of Täklä-Haymanot accompanied by Abunä Ewostatéwos and Abuna Aregawi, Nativity scene with angels Michael and Gabriel near the Holy Child and the Virgin Mary, and St George (Bet Gorgis) on horseback, Ge?ez script legends; the wood beautifully carved with an elaborate cross (Meskel) on both sides. See Chojnaki, S., 'Notes on Art in Ethiopia in the 16th Century: an Enquiry into the Unknown Author(s)' in: Journal of Ethiopian Studies, Vol. 9, No. 2 (July 1971), pp. 21-97.116 grams, 12.2cm (4 3/4"). Ex central London gallery since 2008; formerly in a UK private collection. Usually Saint George is represented as a dragon killer, but Bet Gorgis, represented as a simple rider, is found in early icons dating from the 16th century AD and on late icons of 17th century. The first shows characteristics of 15th century art, the second of Gondarene art. The spear carried by the saint is either slanted forwards and upwards or resting on his shoulder and directed to the back. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

Lower Cretaceous Period, 126 million years BP. A fossilised Jeholosaurus shangyuanensis dinosaur, the skeleton having been been fully prepared and then mounted in an alert walking pose, the wire support frame affixed to a base for display. See Xu, Wang and You, A Primitive Ornithopod from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Liaoning, Vertebrata PalAsiatica 38(4), 2000, pp.318-325.1.7 kg total including base, 63cm long (24 3/4"). Property of a North London collector; formerly with Brian Lloyd of Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd, Walmer, Kent, UK; acquired from a post graduate student as a study collection of unmounted bones in 2001, and subsequently prepared and mounted; accompanied by a copy of the official Chinese provincial government export permit. This juvenile Jeholosaurus dinosaur (lizard from Jehol) was either herbivorous or omniverous. The first known example was identified in 2000 at Lujiatun, near Beipiao City in China, being found in the Yixian Formation dating to about 126 million years BP, the early Aptian Cretaceous Period. [A video of this lot is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Very fine condition, minor restoration. A rare museum quality exhibit.
Lot 6
Late Period, 664-332 BC. A carved alabaster canopic jar with separate lid; the jar with rounded shoulder and smooth tapering sidewall, chamfered rim and internal lip; the lid carved into a representation of a baboon's head, the manifestation of the god Hapi (Hapy), an old collector's label to the underside; incised rectangular panel divided into four columns with hieroglyphic text; accompanied by a scholarly note by Edmund S. Meltzer PhD which states: 'The Canopic jar has a lid in the shape of a baboon's head, representing Hapy, one of the Four Sons of Horus. The body of the jar is inscribed with four vertical columns of hieroglyphs reading from right to left, with column dividers and a surrounding border. The text reads as follows: (1) dd-mdw inn nbt-Hwt: Hp.i * sA stp-sA.i (2) Hr ir(t) mk(t) n Hpy ntt** im.i sA (3) wsir Sbn*** ms n Sana**** (4) mAa-xrw sA Hpy wsir Sbn*** pw Hpy Translation (1) Recitation by Nephthys: I conceal Sehetep(y)*, protection, I protect (2) in the act of making the protection of Hapy who is** in me, the protection (3) of the Osiris Sheben*** son of Shana****, (4) Justified, the protection of Hapy, the Osiris Sheben is Hapy. Notes: * I am taking this as a writing of sHtpy, a title of Osiris, listed in Wörterbuch IV, p.222 ** The feminine form ntt is written for what should be the masculine form nty. This type of error becomes increasingly common as one goes through the New KIngdom, Third Intermediate and Late Periods. *** I am reading this name as Sbn (Sheben) which isn't listed in Ranke's Personennamen. It occurs twice in this inscription and has some unusual and interesting features. (1) What I am reading as the alphabetic sign S has an oblique vertical stroke; I think that this is from the influence of hieratic writings of the sign (cf. Hieratische Paläographie III p.31 #335"). (2) The first writing includes an eye but the second doesn't; I think that this is possibly influenced by the presence of an eye in the root Sp (Wörterbuch IV p.443; for an alternation of Sp and Sb see Personennamen I p.325. (3) The bird that follows the alphabetic signs bn is that which is listed as bn in Wörterbuch I p.457. **** This name is also not listed in Personennamen. I think that the most likely time range for this jar and its inscription is the Late Period, c. 7th-4th centuries BCE; the Boston Fine Arts exhibition catalogue Mummies & magic pp.190-191, and Salima Ikram & Aidan Dodson The Mummy in Ancient Egypt, pp.291-292. The present inscription follows the convention of Canopic texts dating to the Late Period by including a pun on the name of the Son of Horus represented and mentioned in the jar (here Hapy, Egyptian Hpy) with another word in the text, in this case HP.i 'I conceal'.' 11.5 kg total, 35cm (13 3/4"). Property of a gentleman living in central London; acquired from Sotheby’s, New York, USA, 8 June 2011, lot 94; previously in the private collection of Charles Pillsbury, New Hampshire, USA; formerly in the private collection of Henry Bourne Pillsbury, acquired prior to 1960; accompanied by an academic translation of the hieroglyphic inscription by Dr. Edmund S. Meltzer PhD and a scholarly note TL5358 by Dr Ronald Bonewitz; this lot has also been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10429-170143.

Early 2nd century AD. A large Samian ware beaker with moulded relief decoration in the Barbotine technique with a globular body resting upon a pedestal foot and having an everted rim; the decoration depicting a hunting scene of a sinuous hound in pursuit of a long-eared hare, both surrounded with sinuous tendrils and foliage; from Gaul. Cf. British Museum accession nos.1875,0605.5 and 1881,0626.9, for similar examples, especially the latter, both of these found in the UK; for a nearly identical decorated beaker in the collections of the British Museum, see Walters, H.B., Catalogue of the Roman pottery in the departments of Antiquities, British Museum, London, 1908, pl.XV, M 115; see also nn.2397-2415 and Bulmer, M., An introduction to Roman Samian Ware, Denbigh, 1980.510 grams, 16.5cm (6 1/2"). From an important Austrian collection; formerly with Gorny & Mosch, Munich, Germany, auction 252, lot 224; in a private collection, Wein, Austria; formerly with Galerie Schönbrunn, Wien, Austria, in 1986; accompanied by a positive thermoluminescence report no.03B101115 issued by Laboratory Kotalla; copies of the Gorny & Mosch catalogue pages; and by an archaeological report by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10421-170993. This cup with its shape and decoration, evidently belongs to one of the main forms of the Gallic terra-sigillata workshops, produced using slip or barbotine decoration. Following its use on Hellenistic and Arretine wares, decoration en barbotine was popular on Samian vessels from the Neronian period onwards. This process is a sort of cross between painting and relief, and was achieved by the laying-on of a semi-liquid clay slip with a brush, a spatula or a small tube. According to Bulmer the instrument mainly used was a funnel, or a special type of spouted pot. The pattern was probably first lightly indicated, and the viscous paste was then laid on in thick lines or masses, producing a sort of low relief.
