When he found the mangled remains of poor murdered Thomas, he pitched the carcass over the hedge in disgust, and mounting his horse took his hounds home without saying a word...'.(1)

Lot 1685

14th-16th century A.D. Comprising hunting, butcher's domestic and other blade types, including examples with serrated blades and sickles. Cf. Cowgill, J. et al., Knives and Scabbards. Medieval Finds from Excavations in London, London, 1987, figs.57-63, for similar 14th century A.D. examples of knives. 3.1 kg total, 18-42 cm (7 - 16 1/2 in.). Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection. Aside from the actual cut marks that are observed on animal bones following archaeological excavation, the butchery implements found from the medieval period are of considerable importance. The cut marks seem to indicate a more refined style of butchery with less use of the cleaver for disarticulation and a greater reliance on knives. The defining characteristic of the butchery knives is that they were sharp-edged and likely to have been made in much the same way as the cleavers, i.e. with a steel edge to maintain sharpness.

Lot 461

Late New Kingdom, 1070-900 B.C. Modelled seated on an arch-shaped base, with simple facial detailing and suspension loop to the reverse. Cf. Andrews, C., Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, item 29(c). 0.50 grams, 8 mm (3/8 in.). From an early 20th century French collection. The goddess Bastet was considered to be the daughter of the sun god and was originally shown with the features of a lion up until about 1000 B.C. when she is portrayed as a cat or human with a cat head. As the daughter of Ra she is associated with the rage inherent in the sun god's eye which was considered to be his instrument of vengeance. Her development into a cat goddess occurred some time around the New Kingdom but did not fully develop until the Late Period. She is still associated with the destructive power of the sun and is shown on the prow of the solar boat decapitating the evil serpent Apophis in the Book of the Dead. The maternal, protective and hunting characteristics of the cat are the most obvious in Bastet and she is seen as a protector of pregnant women and young children. In the Pyramid Texts she is invoked by the deceased king to act as his protector and to help him reach the sky to join the sun god, and the king proclaims that Bastet is his mother and nurse. Like her counterpart, Sekhmet, Bastet has an aggressive side and in a text from Karnak the Pharaoh Amenhotep II describes how his enemies are slaughtered like the victims of Bastet. The goddess had a shrine at Karnak where she is known as the Lady of Asheru which places her closely with the goddess Mut, the consort of Amun-Ra. Her most famous shrine was in the north-east Delta region at Bubastis and was known as Per-Bastet or the House of Bastet. Herodotus describes the festival of Bastet as one of the most elaborate in all of Egypt and identifies her with the Greek Artemis. Cemeteries of cats have been excavated at not only Bubastis but also Saqqara and Memphis.
