Circa 1st-3rd century A.D. A bronze bust of a young lady, representing a person of importance, possibly an empress or a goddess (Juno or Flora); her head tilted slightly to the left, hair made up in an elaborate coiffure, dressed in robes falling from her shoulders to a V-shape neckline; hollow reverse for attachment; mounted on a custom-made display stand. See Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques De Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, item 475, for comparable example; cf. Cavalieri, M., 'Ipotesi sulla produzione bronzea dell’Emilia occidentale in età romana' in Santoro, S., Artigianato e produzione nella Cisalpina. Parte I. Proposte di metodo e prime applicazioni, Firenze, 2004, pp.173-198, fig.4. 142 grams, 80 mm (174 grams total, 10.2 cm including stand) (3 1/8 in. (4 in.)). UK collection started in the early 2000s. Ex London, UK, gallery. The small bronze statue was probably originally attached to a piece of furniture. Furnishings such as appliques, small sculptures and furniture fittings in general, sometimes evidenced extremely refined products. Among these there are also busts of female divinities, as in our sculpture, which finds parallel with a furniture applique representing a bust of Juno, or with the Flora of Luceria.
2nd century A.D. A circular plate brooch with decorative notching to the outer edge and pin lugs, pin and catchplate to reverse; decorated with raised concentric borders and central spool-shaped stud, remains of solid red enamelling alternating with red and 'white' millefiori enamelled panels. Cf. Hattatt, R., A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford, 2000, p.344, item 1038, for similar type. 12.9 grams, 38 mm (1 1/2 in.). Believed ex Hattatt collection.

1st century B.C. A gold ring comprising a round-section gold hoop and inset a later amethyst cabochon, intaglio portrait bust of a goddess looking right. Cf. Chadour, A.B., Rings. The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 143, for type. 4.67 grams, 23.43 mm overall, 17.60 mm internal diameter (approximate size British M 1/2, USA 6 1/4, Europe 13.09, Japan 12) (7/8 in.). Acquired 1970-2010. Collection of a late Japanese gentleman. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11323-190881. The gemstone shows a portrait of a young girl, maybe the goddess Demeter or Ceres-Hecate-Artemis, with a portrait style which seems contemporary to the ring. Demeter and Hecate were linked to the afterlife cult, so it is possible that the ring was a funerary gift. [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]
3rd century A.D. A silver ring with ellipsoid double-concave hoop, expanding towards the conical shoulders, high gilt bezel with circular carnelian gemstone bearing the image of a seated gryphon with its front leg resting on a wheel. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L., Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991, item 226, for type. 5.71 grams, 23.55 mm overall, 17.54 mm internal diameter ( approximate size British H, USA 3 3/4, Europe 6.18, Japan 6) (7/8 in.). Acquired 1980s. From a Home Counties, UK, collection. The ring belongs to the same category with a one found in the treasure of Chaoushevo, in the Balkans. This type of ring is typical of the 3rd century A.D. in the area of Moesia Inferior and Thracia.
Circa 7th century A.D. A gold finger ring with flat-section hoop, round plaque with openwork 'architectural' bezel, dome with granule and filigree detailing. Cf. Chadour, A.B., Rings. The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 495. 4.00 grams, 26.90 mm overall, 18.23 mm internal diameter ( approximate size British N 1/2, USA 6 3/4, Europe 14.35, Japan 13) (1 in.). German art market, 1990s. Mr A.H., a North American collector living in the UK.
13th-6th century B.C. A bronze axehead with ribbed openwork socket terminating in a butt formed of four cones, the blade expanding from the mouth of a growling lion with a flowing mane; mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf. Godard, F., The Art of Iran, London, 1965, item 99, for comparable; Moorey, P.R.S., Catalogue of the ancient Persian Bronzes in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1971, Pl.2, nos.14-16, items 51-52; cf. also Musée Cernuschi, Bronzes de Luristan, énigmes de l'Iran Ancien, IIIe-Ier millenaire av. J.C., Paris, 2008, p.44, fig.1,3; p.97, no.45, for similar types; cf. also The Metropolitan Museum, accession numbers 32.161.2 and 32.161.3, for comparable examples. 550 grams, 26.5 cm (1.36 kg total, 16 cm high including stand) (10 1/2 in. (6 1/4 in.)). Acquired before 1983. Ex London gallery, 1990s. It is difficult to know whether this type of axe, given its high decoration in some specimens, was used as a real weapon or was just a symbol of rank and prestige, employed for ceremonial or cult purposes. Considering, however, that the concept of parade weapons did not exist in the surrounding areas, these axes were most probably used for both military and ceremonial purposes. It is interesting that a lion’s head motif appears as a decorative feature on many axe-heads, such as our specimen. The lion’s open jaws form the base of the axe head, and the blade is attached to this; the lion is a symbol intended to give the weapon the strength of the most powerful beasts of the animal kingdom.

Late 5th-early 6th century A.D. A rare long seax, with a finely tapered blade with traces of battle nicks; boat-shaped cross followed by a broad tang pierced by an iron nail for the fastening of an organic hilt. Cf. Menghin, W., Das Schwert im Frühen Mittelalter, Stuttgart, 1983, item 8, Alamannic grave 71 from Pleidelsheim; cf. Archäologischen Landesmuseum, Die Alamannen, Stuttgart, 1997, p.221. 344 grams, 69 cm long (27 1/4 in.). Dutch collection, circa 2000. With Mr D.V.B., Netherlands, 2017. Property of a Sussex, UK, teacher. The sword and the long seax of the grave 71 from Pleidelsheim were produced most probably by a Danubian or Constantinopolitan workshop, as it is possible also for our specimen, based upon its guard. In the Eastern Empire, these long single-edged blades continued the tradition of the late Roman semispathae, and were used by Roman, Nomadic and Germanic warriors within and outside of the Roman army.
Early 9th century A.D. A Viking period sword comprising: a 9th century high-status silver-covered lobed pommel and cross guard consisting of a Petersen Type D/E pommel composed of a broadly conical body with elliptical cross-section and rounded ends, the lower part formed as a plain broad band, the upper section with a scalloped and domed silhouette, divided into three decorative segments with detailed inlay to both faces, including diagonal hatching, faux ropework and solid angular forms contrasted with fluid interlace, seemingly creating an overall zoomorphic scheme; the cross guard with remains of the original silver-covered design, elliptical in cross-section, also with rounded ends; a contemporary 9th century Geibig type 1 variant tanged, pattern-welded blade with rounded tip and shallow fuller to both faces, the fuller with additional (worn) inlay; whilst all components are 9th century in date, the heavy pommel and cross guard were originally intended for a broader hacking blade which was seemingly replaced with this slender thrusting blade at an unknown date. Cf. Williams, G. ed., Vikings life and legend, The British Museum, London, 2014, p.18 and pp.102-103, for a similar pommel and cross-guard; cf. Willemsen, A., Vikings! Raids in the Rhine/ Meuse region 800-1000, Utrecht, 2004, pp.130-131, for a similar cross guard and pommel; cf. Rosedahl, E. ed., From Viking to Crusader The Scandinavians and Europe 800-1200, Sweden, 1992, p.292, item 243, for similar dated 9th century A.D.; cf. Oakeshott, E., Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 2000, p.24, item 3, for similar; cf. Pierce, I., Swords Of The Viking Age, Woodbridge, 2004, pp.44-46, for more detailed discussion of type D and E pommels. 842 grams, 84.5 cm (33 1/4 in.). Acquired 1970s-1990s. From the S.K. collection, Switzerland. Accompanied by an analysis report by professional artefact assessor Russell Scott. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11397-191832. The slight curve on the blade suggests that it was perhaps deposited in a Viking howe for an extensive period. It is possible for any blade to have been re-worked, shortened and/ or ground down over the course of its life. Petersen Type D is of Norwegian origin.
1st century B.C.-early 1st century A.D.

Found whilst searching with a metal detector near Guildford, Surrey, UK, on Saturday 22nd August 2020, by Stuart Cameron. Accompanied by a copy of the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) report number SUR-D01AF2, where it is described as 'A rare and important discovery' and 'This is a find of note and has been designated: Potential for inclusion in Britannia (Cambridge University Press)'. Accompanied by an original handwritten note explaining the circumstances of finding by Stuart Cameron dated 23 May 2022. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11402-191635. The PAS report comments: 'This bucket mount is one of only a handful to exhibit human representations from late Iron Age Britain, and as such is a rare and important discovery. The majority of late Iron Age bucket mounts depict bovines, and where they do appear in human form, depict the figure wearing a horned helmet or with horns protruding from the head. This example differs markedly as there are no bovine features.' [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]
6th-7th century A.D. A bronze bowl mount, discoid with exterior rim, reserved comma-leaf ornament on an enamelled field comprising a central roundel with reserved triskele, six surrounding roundels of which three are formed with two reserved crescents forming an 'S'-shaped motif, two with two crescent hooks each pierced at the centre by a pellet, one roundel with three radiating pierced hooks; the reverse with solder scar where it was attached. Cf. Bruce-Mitford, R., The Corpus of Late Celtic Hanging Bowls, Oxford, 2005, item 88. 13.4 grams, 40 mm wide (1 1/2 in.). Found South East England. Acquired on the UK art market, circa 2012. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11404-193157. The disc was placed at the centre of the base of a bronze hanging bowl. Such mounts are found on hanging bowls mainly in 6th-7th century Anglo-Saxon princely or royal burials. They probably formed part of the so-called 'economy of prestige' in which decorative high-status tableware and feasting equipment circulated among the leading families of the various British and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. A number of these items have been found in 7th century burial mounds such as Sutton Hoo (Suffolk), Prittlewell (Essex) and Benty Grange (Derbyshire). The decoration and manufacturing techniques suggest an origin among the late Romano-British groups of western and northern Britain. The layout of the elements of the design is parallel to the great hanging bowl from Mound 1 at Sutton Hoo although the design there is more elaborate in its enamelled motifs.

Hattatt, R., Iron Age and Roman Brooches, Oxford, 1985, item 677 (this pair). 130 grams total, brooches: 62-64 mm (2 3/8 - 2 1/2 in.). Ex Richard Hattatt (d.1992) collection (featured in his book).

7th century A.D. A bronze hollow-formed disc-shaped brooch with a central dot around which are four S-shaped birds with large eyes, curved beaks and bodies formed from interlaced lines; the outer sidewall with line decoration and remains of safety chain fixing hole; remains of a pin hinge and catchplate to the reverse. Cf. MacGregor, A. et al., A Summary Catalogue of the Continental Archaeological Collections (Roman Iron Age, Migration Period, Early Medieval), Oxford, 1997, item 2.2; cf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 53.48.6. 17.4 grams, 35 mm (1 3/8 in.). UK gallery, acquired in the 2000s. Property of an English gentleman. This Scandinavian Vendel period brooch precedes the Viking Era both in history and art style, as we can observe the use of box and disc brooches in both eras. There were lively contacts with continental Europe, and the Scandinavians continued to export iron, fur and slaves; in return they acquired art and innovations, such as the stirrup. Some of the riches were probably acquired through the control of mining districts and the production of iron. The rulers had troops of mounted elite warriors with costly armour, since their graves were found with stirrups and saddle ornaments of birds of prey in gilded bronze with encrusted garnets. The geometric and interlaced patter was popular especially in Scandinavia, although we can find ornaments with similar motif among continental Germanic people. Abstractly designed small brooches like this were fashionable until larger and more massive Viking oval and drum brooches replaced them.
9th-10th century A.D. A bronze trefoil brooch with frond detailing to each of the three radiating arms, bilinear frame and central triangular panel; remains of catch and pin-lug to the reverse; mounted on a custom-made stand.

Korshyn, V.E., Yazcheskye Priveski Drevnei Rysi X-XIV Vekov, Moscow, 2013, item M.2.02. 1.5 grams, 22 mm (7/8 in.). UK gallery, acquired in the 2000s. Property of an English gentleman. Odin, also known as Woden in Old Saxon, the chief god of Eddic mythology and the most versatile of the gods. He is the father of the gods, the god of poetry, the god of the dead, of war, magic, runes and ecstasy. The numerous names for Odin in Old Norse literature exemplify his diversity. According to Snorri Sturluson in the Gylfaginning Odin is one of the first of the gods to be created. Odin is called the All Father because he is the father of all the gods. He lives in Asgard from where he can look over the whole world and is considered to be omniscient, and because of this he is known as 'the extremely wise one.' Odin's attributes are his spear, Gungnir, a ring known as Draupnir, his blindness in one eye and his hat and cloak, all of which form his stereotypical image. Odin's two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, meaning Thought and Memory, are likewise firmly established attributes from the end of the Migration Age onwards, as illustrated in bracteates, pendants and picture stones. The two ravens fly over the whole world and return at breakfast bringing Odin news of many things, and through this he is known as Hrafnagud, or the raven god. [No Reserve]
