Ca. 202 BC-220 AD.A Han Dynasty pottery stick-woman. This pottery figure is standing on thin feet, the body slender and naked, the face finely modelled and the shoulders with holes to hold wooden arms (now missing), trail of red pigment and silk. With the original red, black and pink colours. Includes thermoluminescence test. Figures such as this were made to accompany the Han elite into the afterlife, providing protection and acting as a display of wealth and status. In antiquity this piece would have appeared very different, dressed in beautiful robes of silk and cotton adorned with intricate patterns. With a striking, almost abstract aesthetic, the Yangling figures are highly distinctive from a great deal of the ming-ch'i produced during the Han Dynasty and are some of the most decorative of all ancient Chinese figurative art. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate with its full report will accompany this lot. For similar examples see The Victoria and Albert Museum, item number FE.44-2008.Size: L:575mm / W:95mm; 2.7kgProvenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.

Ca. 400 BC.A beautiful example of a Chalcidian helmet. The stylised and ornately decorated bowl is forged in one piece and embossed with a ridged line decoration. Pairs of rivets on each side to hold the cheekpiece. The Chalcidian type was introduced in the 6th century BC as a development to its predecessors, the Corinthian and Illyrian models, with improvements in design which gave the wearer better hearing and vision.

Ca. Late 13th - mid 14th Century AD. This artefact is an excellent example of Medieval sword. The blade is pointed almost to a needle-sharp tip, it is double edged and in the centre where you may have expected a fuller, is a raised medial rib. This would give the blade a diamond shaped section and make it an ideal weapon for thrusting, capable of piercing ring mail and possibly light plate armour. The artefact has a cross guard, tang and flat round pommel. The item has suffered from corrosion. We have surface pitting, and the edge is abraded and jagged. The overall presence of the sword though, is one of Gothic beauty the wear and tear enhancing its presence as an amazing six-hundred-year-old sword. The pommel on this delightful artefact is round and flat, such pommels have been categorised by Oakshott as type ‘G’. The simplistic pommel is reflected in the cross guard, which is thin, flat and curved downwards at each end. Such a cross guard is a type ‘7’. The item comes with an academic report written by Russel Scott; famous lecturer, reenactor and expert of Viking and medieval artefacts. His report also includes an X-ray fluorescence analysis suggesting the ancient origin of the object. Size: L:850mm / W:160mm ; 815g. Provenance: Property of a European collector.

Ca. 900-1100 AD.A cream-coloured "Greek fire" hand grenade comprising a domed lid and a biconical body decorated with linear, circular, and rhomboid motifs, which tapers into a pointed base. It is believed that vessels such as this one contained an incendiary agent known as "Greek fire", which, since it was impervious to water, made these vessels invaluable weapons in naval battles. Unfortunately, the exact composition of the Greek fire is unknown. However, scholars posit that the mixture was composed of pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, and sulphur. To find out more about Greek fire grenades, see Crosby, A. (2002). Throwing fire: Projectile technology through history. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. This item comes with a custom-made display stand.Size: L:175mm / W:80mm ; 630gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s
Ca. 800-1000 AD.A ceramic grenade, also referred to as "Greek Fire". This hollow vessel is acorn-shaped with a short neck and a domed rim. The body is decorated with a centre band of stamped decoration. "Greek Fire" was intended to be filled with explosive liquid and a wick and used as a hand grenade. Typically, it was used in naval battles as it could continue burning while floating on the water. This item comes with a custom-made display stand.Size: L:70mm / W:80mm ; 320gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s
Ca. 900-1200 AD.A "Greek Fire" hand grenade comprising a cream ceramic vessel with a spheroconical body, and a short, squat neck with a sloped rim.

Globular vessels such as this example are frequently interpreted as an early type of hand grenade. It is believed that these jars could have contained an incendiary agent such as the infamous "Greek fire" which was impervious to water, making them invaluable weapons in naval battles. Unfortunately, the recipe for "Greek fire" was lost with the fall of the Byzantine empire, but it was likely a petroleum-based mixture.

Ca. 900-1100 AD.An iron bearded axe head with an elongated, curved blade and tapering cheek.
