TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 1232

Bronze Age English Socketted Arrow or Javelin PointLate Bronze Age, 1,200-900 BC A cast bronze socketted projectile point with symmetrical tapering convex cutting edges and a neatly formed securing rivet hole to each side of the socket. See Evans, Sir J.The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain, 1881, p.326 for a similar item of looped and socketted form. 18 grams, 49 mm. (2"). Found by Ian Price in the side of a river bank, to the south of Eye, Suffolk, just off the road to Occold, 7th July 2012. This is a most unusual item, apparently without direct parallel. It is obviously too small to be considered a spearhead and the internal diameter of the socket suggests a shaft diamater of some 13 mm, which seems large for an arrow shaft. It is possible that it is the point for a javelin or light throwing spear, possibly with feathered flights and perhaps thrown with the aid of an atlatl or similar. A looped and socketted example from Ireland, with a more defined blade, is known. Although a complete item in its own right, it is perhaps possible that this item has been contemporaneously formed for the purpose by adapting a small spearhead tip.Extremely fine condition. Excessively rare, possibly unique.Starting Price: £5

IMPERIAL HERITAGE KANGXI PERIOD FAMILLE VERTE PLATE, DRESDEN COLLECTION. A Rare Imperial Chinese heritage Qing Dynasty Famille Verte plate. What makes this plate especially unusual, is that it bears an incised inventory mark (N48 I) from the Dresden collection, formed by Augustus the Strong, Kind of Poland and Elector of Saxony who lived from 1670 to 1733. Part of the collection was dispersed by auction early this century (See Soame Jenyns, "Later Chinese Porcelain"). Measures 11 3/8" diameter (28.8cm). Total weight of 594 grams. Hand painted enameled floral panels throughout. Bottom holds Kangxi (1662-1722) period artemesia leaf mark to bottom in double circles. For much of the Kangxi reign, the imperial reign mark was forbidden by Imperial edict to be used, and the artemesia leaf was a not uncommon substitute. Item 2225, Provenance: Christie`s December 1999.
