ROMAN INTAGLIO, CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURY ADThe oval garnet intaglio carved to depict a putto teasing a hare with a carrot, set in a later gold signet ring, the bezel with Lombardic Latin inscription reading 'SIGILLUM SECRETI' (Secret Seal), to a tapering hoop, size MFootnotes:For a similar ring in the British Museum, see exhibit no. AF.556.Aside from hunting scenes, one may find ancient depictions of hares as embodiments of the love of a man for a woman, or as expressions of homosexual love. Both hares and putti were widely considered to represent fertility and sexual desire, and were thus associated with the circle of life, spring, renewal and immortality. The practice of incorporating ancient Roman intaglios into inscribed settings was a primarily English practice in the 12th and 13th centuries. Growth in trade led to an increase in the use of seals for written correspondence by merchants and landowners. Individual seal impressions were used to authenticate documents or indicate confidentiality. Whilst the gems in these signets were typically only used as means of identification, the symbol of a hare may have resonated with medieval English society as an emblem of status and prosperity; both hares and rabbits were a much sought-after source of meat and fur and throughout the medieval era the right to hunt and kill any beast was a privilege granted by the king.Provenance: From an American collection acquired in the 1980s.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Devon and Somerset Staghounds (The Barle Valley from Winsford Hill)signed and dated 'Lionel Edwards / 1949' (lower left)oil on canvas75 x 126cmProvenance:Mr Eric W. Towler by 1986,Thence by descent to the present ownerExhibited:London, The Alpine Gallery, and Leicester, The Leicestershire Museum and Art Gallery, Lionel Edwards R.I., R.C.A 1878-1966, 10th-11th September, and 5th October- 2nd November 1986, no.86The Devon and Somerset Staghounds hunt the country within the Exmoor National Park and is one of three staghound packs in the UK. It was founded in its present form in 1855 when there were purported to be only 75 deer on Exmoor. It was originally a subscription pack which encouraged local farmers to join the hunt, but also to feed and protect the deer from poachers on their land. By the 1870s, the herd had grown to over 1000 and ever since, red deer have become synonymous with Exmoor. Today the herd is estimated to be more than 2500 in number, which makes it the largest population of wild deer in England. Red deer have been hunted on Exmoor since Norman times when the moor was declared a Royal Forest. The earliest recorded pack of staghounds on Exmoor in 1598 was kept by Hugh Pollard, Elizabeth I’s ranger in Simonsbath. Although stag hunting as it was once practised was outlawed in 2004, the Devon and Somerset Staghounds today, with the support of local farmers and landowners, meet three times a week during the season to manage and observe the deer and operate within the law. They have also become a vital casualty service who identify and locate sick and injured animals. The huntsman riding with the pack in the present painting is Alfred Lenthall. We are grateful to the Devon and Somerset Staghounds for their assistance in identifying the huntsman.94 x 144cm (framed)The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which is unlined. The canvas tension is slightly slack with undulations at the upper right corner. Overall the support and paint layers are in a good condition. A square of cardboard has been glued onto the reverse of the canvas at the upper left corner. The purpose for this is unclear and the glue has caused minor deformations to the canvas. There are possibly a couple of pin prick holes in the surface here. There are a few small, scattered losses along the left hand edge and localised areas of overpaint. At the centre of the canvas the paint layer has raised brushstrokes in the surface texture which do not relay to the composition and could be associated with an earlier composition that was reworked. The varnish is even, glossy and slightly yellowed.
A pair of Inuit snow goggles Arctic bone, of zoomorphic transformation form with a ridged brow and curved eye slits, the sides with attachment holes, 15.2cm wide, on a stand. (2) cf. The Smithsonian Institute, USNM Number E48996-0 collected by E W Nelson from Sabotnisky, Yukon River, in 1882. These goggles are carved in the form of an animal mask, probably that of a fox. Arctic foxes have good eyesight for hunting on land and sea ice, a quality that may have been intended to transfer to the owner whilst wearing them.
