14th-11th century BC. A glazed composition cylinder seal with chariot and horses; accompanied by a typed and signed scholarly note issued by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Cylinder Seal of Fawn Mineral with Traces of Turquoise Glaze: 56 x 21 mm. A standing man with beard and hair done up in a bun at the nape of the neck is holding the reins of two galloping horses as he stands braced in a chariot. Under the horses are two running quadrupeds (hunting dogs?) and in front is a rearing quadruped (the prey?) and two more above the horses' heads and bodies. A rhomb fills a space at the top of the area. The scene is enclosed within upper and lower rulings. This is a rare type of cylinder seal, from north-west Iran c.1400-1100 B.C. The ends are chipped a little, and there is one chip off the upper surface of the design, but the whole is reasonably clear and a very lively depiction. 27 grams, 55mm (2 1/4"). From a London, UK, collection; acquired 1970s. Fine condition.

19th century AD.

(13 1/4"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the 1970s. Howdah pistols, named from the large platforms carried on the backs of elephants in India, were mainly used as defence against large or dangerous 'big game' animals while hunting them, especially in India and Africa, as a close range weapon; they are usually two- or four-barrelled, always of large calibre and they were produced until powerful and reliable revolvers, such as the 0.455 Webley, became available. Good condition; action in working order.

Lot 320
2nd-4th century AD. A silver D-section hoop and discoid plaque with ropework border enclosing the amuletic inscription 'TOT', an abbreviation for the name of the Celtic god Toutatis. Disclaimed under the Treasure Act, reference number 2009 T742. With a copy of an article by Brett Hammond 'Keep A Sharp Eye Out For Toutatis' which appeared in Treasure Hunting Magazine in January 2009, page 44, and a copy of the Wikipedia article on the Celtic God Toutatis where this ring is used as the 'plate example'. 6.54 grams, 21.2mm overall, 16.38 x 13.99mm internal diameter (approximate size British I, USA 4 1/4, Europe 15, Japan 7) (3/4"). Possibly found Lincolnshire, UK. A number of rings have been found in eastern Roman Britain inscribed with the word TOT. It is thought that they refer to the Celtic deity Toutatis, later associated by the Romans with Mars and Mercury. The rings have been found mainly in the area corresponding to the native British tribe of the Corieltauvi who may have worshipped Toutatis as their primary tribal deity. The likelihood of the presence of his cult is strengthened by several inscriptions found in Britain mentioning this deity. However, his origin may be sought in the religion of the Continental Celtae, as the Roman writer Lucan in the 1st century AD mentioned the worship of 'Teutatis' together with two other deities, Esus and Taranis. Very fine condition.
