Report number 81308-43, dated 25th May 2021.'There is also.. an other kynde of Rubies which wee caule Spinelle'Richard Eden, the 16th century alchemist, in 1555Until 1783, red and pink spinels were mistaken for rubies because they are chemically similar. Even after fine pink gems were known to be spinels they were still referred to as 'balas' or 'balais' rubies. The term 'balas' derives from an ancient word for Badakhshan, a province north of Afghanistan on the border with Tajikistan, where important spinel specimens were anciently mined. These Kuh-i-Lal ('red mountain') mines were the world's main source of large spinels from the 1st century AD. Marco Polo (c.1254–1324) described how 'fine and valuable balas rubies' were dug only for the King, who owned the entire supply, which he sent to other kings as tributes or as 'friendly presents'.Mughal emperors and their ancestors, the Timurids, valued large Kuh-i-Lal spinels for their beauty and as protective talismans. The gems were polished rather than cut and were often inscribed with the names of rulers and monarchs as a way of commemoration. The Carew Spinel, in the collection of the V&A in London, is inscribed with the names of Emperors Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. Spectacular Mughal spinels which entered Persian, Russian and European royal treasuries include the 'Black Prince's Ruby': a large uncut red spinel, it was given to the Black Prince by Pedro the Cruel in 1367, worn by Henry V in his helmet at the Battle of Agincourt and is now set in the Imperial State Crown in the British crown jewels.

AFTER TIZIANO ASPETTI (1557/1559 - 1606), A CLOSE PAIR OF LEADED BRONZE FIGURES OF MARS AND JUNO NORTH ITALIAN, 17TH CENTURY Juno depicted with her attribute the peacock, Mars with plumed helmet in the act of drawing a sword, possibly loaded bronze and formerly andironsMars 37.5cm high, Juno 35.5cm high, the alabaster bases 10.5cms wideThe Italian renaissance sculptor Tiziano Aspetti is today perhaps best known not for his legacy of work, but rather from the portrait painting of him by Leandro Bassano which now resides in the Royal Collection. His 1590 figure of Mars is in The Frick Collection, New York (Accession number: 1916.2.56). It stands with his feet on this cuirass, swept socle below. The plainer construction of this lot with the roundel bases suggests they may, like many examples of his work, been emulated and cast for use as andirons. See J. Pope-Hennessy, The Frick Collection - An Illustrated Catalogue, III, Sculpture, Italian, New York, 1970, pp. 183-185.
