Inca stone canopa in the form of an alpaca, circa AD 1300-1450, 2 1/2" h x 4 1/4" l

14th-15th century AD. A group of five silver Capac Hucha figures consisting of two squatting, with arms across the chest; one standing with arms across the chest and erect penis; one standing, holding a staff; one standing with mouth open, hands held up to chest. 43 grams, 26-49mm (1 - 2"). Fine condition. [5] From an old Danish private collection. See Benson, E. (ed). Ritual Sacrifice in Ancient Peru, Texas, 2001; De Bock, E. (ed). Inca's Capac Hucha, Amsterdam, 2010. Figurines of gold, silver, or shell were often deposited with Inca human sacrifices. Known as Capac Hucha, meaning solemn sacrifice, the figurines may have been offerings to the gods, small icons of the human sacrificial victims, or guides to the afterworld; the figures were usually deposited in pairs of male and female. Many of these figures have been found at sacred sites on the top of mountains and volcanoes, and often have clothing and headdresses, as well as gold or silver llama accompanying them. Inca civilisation arose in the Andean highlands of Peru in the early 13th century and by the 16th century, the Inca Empire was the largest empire in the New World, with their capital at Cuzco in Peru. Despite their wealth, large population, and strong administrative organisation the Incas were rapidly conquered by the Spanish by 1572.

Collection of carved reproduction Inca plaques and further carved figures, 1 box

Pre-Columbian, Peru, Nazca and Inca cultures, ca. 180 BCE to 500 CE and ca. 1400 CE, respectively. A nice trio of ceramics from ancient Peru, including a miniature trophy head vessel modeled with a pointy nose, eyes and features painted in hues of black and white; a miniature coil-built terracotta vase with an elegant form comprised of a globular body and straight neck. Finally, a beautiful blackware bowl with a dimpled bottom created by the Inca. Perhaps the most unusual piece in this group is the mini trophy head. Mummified trophy heads date to the pre-ceramic period in ancient Peru. Sizes: Nazca trophy head measures 2" (5.1 cm) x 1-5/8" (4.1 cm); vase 2-5/8" (6.7 cm) x 1-7/8" (4.8 cm); bowl 4-7/8" (12.4 cm) x 2-1/2" (6.4 cm).Perhaps the most extensive practice of headhunting occurred along the south coast of Peru in the Nazca and Inca valleys where the early Paracas and succeeding Nazca cultures resided. Head-taking was a significant component of their warfare and religious mythology. A warrior could increase his might and status by capturing prisoners for head-taking. Provenance: Ex-private Crested Butte, CO collection, acquired in 1987. Condition: Vase is intact and excellent. Trophy head shows wear and has chipped rim/edge. Bowl is repaired from two to three pieces. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Huari/Wari, ca. 700 to 1000 CE. A finely carved wooden implement carved with a standing deity with headdress and pectoral, hands held to his stomach. Huari imagery is under-studied; hence it is difficult to decipher the precise meaning or identity of this figure. It may represent a living person of rank, an honorary portrayal of a deceased person used to accompany a mummy bundle, or an ancestor. Ancestor veneration would become a significant part of Inca religious practice and was most likely important to earlier cultures as well. The wide-eyed expression is similar to visages depicted on Huari ceramic vessels. An impressive wood carving, covered with intricate detail. Size: 8.25" H (21 cm)The Huari culture began to develop during the late Moche era. The Huari culture, centered on a capital to the south of Moche territory in the central highlands of Peru, rose as the Moche culture fell apart and before the Chimu asserted themselves on the north coast. They had extensive contact with other regions in the Andes, most notably the Tiahuanaco in present-day Bolivia, and the Nazca and the Pachacamac on the south and central coast of Peru. Hence there is no homogenous Huari style. Instead we see a wide range of visual expressions in their wood carvings and ceramics. Provenance: Ex-Private Seattle, Wa collection acquired at auction Condition: Intact with normal surface wear. Nice patina. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Over £3,000 has been invested in the car during the last year alone with work including a thorough service: cylinder block / radiator flushed, fresh coolant, gearbox oil renewed and engine oil / filter changed etc not to mention the installation of an oil cooler and re-plumped seats courtesy of new foam.

This handsome Stag comes complete with extensive history file of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid to April 15th 2016.

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1000 to 1400 CE. A handsome burnished blackware mold-made stirrup vessel adorned with a human beggar holding a kero that he is either drinking from or begging to have filled up. He sits with upraised knees upon a round base, his wide-eyed visage looking hopeful beneath his pointed cap. This piece may have been created right around the time tha the Inca conquered the Chimu, a time when beggars were most likely a common sight. Size: 4.5" in diameter x 7.5" H (11.4 cm x 19 cm)The Chimu civilization developed after the Moche, flourishing from 1000 to 1400 CE, during the Late Intermediate Period, prior to the rise of the Inca Empire, and Chimu artisans were heavily influenced by the Moche. Stirrup vessels were the prominent ceramic form of the ancients of Peru, and they provide a window onto the religion, rituals, socio-economics and every day life of these Pre-Columbian cultures. All aspects of life were depicted on these vessels: naturalistic plants and animals, anthropomorphized animals that often represented deities, portraits, scenes of daily life ranging from the erotic to the sacrificial to the militaristic. Provenance: Ex-Arnovick collection. Condition: Tiny nick on rim of spout. Otherwise intact with minimal surface wear. Nice burnishing marks. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #111176

Pre-Columbian, Peru, Inca, ca. 1300 to 1500 CE. A double-chambered terracotta vessel featuring a standing man who assumes the position typically occupied by a second spout. He is blowing a spondylus shell flute, and the vessel produces a lovely musical tone when one blows into it. All is finely painted in a polychrome finish of red, black, and cream hues. Note how decorated this gentleman is, with his elaborate pectoral, headdress incised with an anamorphic figure on each side, fanciful collar or strap, and striated body paint or textile wraps on arms and abdominal area. Clearly this fellow was elaborately adorned in order to signify his special role, perhaps that of a shaman. Beyond the figure, the entire vessel is beautifully decorated. Note the carved geometric motif on the bridge and the registers of painted geometrics on the bodies of each vessel. A special piece indeed! Size: 6.75" L x 3.5" W x 6.25" H (17.1 cm x 8.9 cm x 15.9 cm) Provenance: Ex-private K. Tiernan collection, CO; Ex-M. Powell Collection, TX, acquired in the 1960s. Condition: One spine of spondylus shell missing. Possible (nearly invisible) repair to man's back. Normal surface wear and abrasions. Overall very good. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #111133

Pre-Columbian, Central Peru, Inca, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. A wondrous greyware portrait jar that departs from traditional realism to a more abstract depiction with finely delinated striations encircling his eyes emphasizing his hypnotic gaze, the linear markings radiating outward to cover his entire visage. Intriguingly, this individual was portrayed with a double-cleft palate. To the ancients of the Americas, individuals with physical deformities were regarded as touched by god and therefore quite special. Topping his head is a simple cap that terminates in the spout. Size: 9-1/2"H x 6-3/4"L x 5-5/8"W (24.1 cm x 17.1 cm x 14.3 cm). During the reign of the Incas, Peru had been the seat of outstanding pottery production for thousands of years. The Moche had developed the stirrup vessel to an art form full of expression and fascinating insight to the ancient Andean culture. The Inca followed in this tradition, however, in some instances they elaborated their own artistry and technique as we see in this example. Provenance: Ex-D. C. collection, California. Emmy Award Winning Hollywood writer and Executive Producer, collected before 2000. Ex-Arte Primitivo, New York City. Condition: Chips to rim and base. Expected surface wear. Nice root markings all over surface and white mineral deposits which contribute nicely to overall appearance. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #109171

1000-1470 AD. A ceramic vessel with flat base and globular body, elliptical in plan, tubular neck; the upper body with four panels with reserved designs of figures in bird costume. 770 grams, 23cm (9"). From an old private collection; acquired before 1990. The Chimú built a capital at Chan Chan, just north of Trujillo. Chan Chan is the largest pre-Columbian city in Peru, covering about 20 sq km, and is estimated to have housed about 50,000 people. Gone, for the most part, is the technique of painting pots. Instead, they were fired by a simpler method than that used by the Moche, producing the typical blackware seen in many Chimú pottery collections. Despite its poorer quality, this pottery still shows us life in the Chimú kingdom. Although the quality of the ceramics declined, metallurgy developed and various alloys, including bronze, were worked. The Chimú were also exceptionally fine goldsmiths. It is as an urban society that the Chimú are best remembered. Their huge capital contained approximately 10,000 dwellings of varying quality and importance. Buildings were decorated with friezes, the designs moulded into the mud walls, and the more important areas were layered with precious metals. There were storage bins for food and other products from their empire, which stretched along the coast from the Gulf of Guayaquil to Chancay. There were huge walk-in wells, canals, workshops and temples. The royal dead were buried in mounds with a wealth of funerary offerings. The Chimú had a highly organised society - it must have been to have built and supported a city such as Chan Chan. Chimor was conquered by the Incas 50 years before the arrival of the Spanish, so there were plenty of survivors from pre-Inca times to dictate the particulars of daily life before the conquest by Inca Tupac Inca Yupanqui. Chimor grew out of the remnants of the Moche culture. Very fine condition.

Classic motorcycle racing has benefitted from the activities of firms and individuals who produce components enabling the creation of machines such as the Manx and G50. The G50 offered was built by the vendor for use in the Manx Grand Prix using a Beale frame equipped with Maxton adjustable suspension front and rear. A Fontana front brake is complimented by a drum rear, both laced to lightened rims. The G50 engine is fitted with a NEB crankshaft and fed by a Gardiner carburettor with the ignition being provided by a PAL magneto. A NEB clutch and a magnesium cased Summerfield six speed gearbox are employed. A Krober rev counter and a specially made race fairing are fitted to the machine which is finished in the traditional G50 maroon livery. The paintwork is new and the gearbox has recently been checked by Summerfield. The engine, ignition system, and cycle parts are all described as being "as raced". The motorcycle was raced by Richard Coates and Paul Dobbs in the Manx Grand Prix, both riders achieving 100 mph laps and by Bruno LeRoy in short circuit events and INCA races and the vendor at Goodwood. The frame around which the machine is built has the distinction of being used by Phil Read in his last competitive outing on the Isle of Man.
