Lot 31
Ca. 500-300 BC. Greek. A beautiful example of a Chalcidian helmet. The bowl is forged in one piece, featuring high-arched eyebrows below a peaked raised band; a short teardrop-shaped nose guard extends down from the raised eyes. The articulated crescentic cheek-pieces with contoured edges are attached with metal wires; a hole for the attachment of a chin-strap is visible. Chalcidian helmets are named after similar helmets depicted on pottery vases from the Euboean city of Chalcis. This type of ancient Greek helmet was a lighter and less restrictive form of the Corinthian helmet. The hinged cheek pieces were anatomically formed to fit closely to the face and tended to curve upward towards the eye, where large circular openings provided a wider field of view than the Corinthian helmets. Excellent condition with partial repairs, beautiful patina; the item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. Mounted on a custom-made stand. For more information on Chalcidian helmets, see Everson, T. (2004). Warfare in Ancient Greece: arms and armour from the heroes of Homer to Alexander the Great. The History Press, 116-124. Size: L:330mm / W:235mm ; 855g. Provenance: Property of a European collector, acquired in 2018; formerly owned by Mr. E.

Lot 179
Ca. 520-450 BC. Greek Attic. A beautiful black-figure Attic kylix, i.e. a wide-bowled drinking cup with a large, black glazed low foot and twin horizontal handles. The tondo depicts a graceful black-figure swan with a long beak, thin legs, and an elegant body. In ancient Greek mythology, the swan is usually associated with Leda, the daughter of Thestius, king of Aetolia, and wife of Tyndareus, king of Lacedaemon. According to the legend, Zeus approached and seduced Leda in the form of a swan; as a result, she gave birth to Pollux and Helen of Troy, who both hatched from eggs (Armstrong 1944, 58). This kylix is a stunning example of Attic black-figure painting - a painting technique from the Archaic period. In black-figure vase painting, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing, while the background was left the colour of the clay. Vase painters articulated individual forms by incising the slip or by adding white and purple enhancements (mixtures of pigment and clay). Between the beginning of the sixth and the end of the fourth century BC, black- and red-figure techniques were used in Athens to decorate fine pottery. The red-figure technique was invented around 530 BC, quite possibly by the potter Andokides and his workshop, and gradually replaced the black-figure technique. Kýlikes like this fine example were one of the most popular forms in ancient Greek pottery from Mycenaean times through the classical Athenian period and were used during banquets (symposia) as drinking cups. See Armstrong, E. (1944). The Symbolism of the Swan and the Goose. Folklore, 55/2: 54-58 for the swan symbolism.

Lot 188
Ca. 500-330 BC. Graeco/Achaemenid. A bronze libation bowl known as 'phiale' decorated with a central rosette. Phialai were wide shallow cups used for pouring libations to the gods and for drinking on more ordinary occasions as attested by several literary sources (see, for instance, Pindar N. 9.51f). Phialai were used across a wide geographical area - from Greece to Tibet, throughout the ancient Near East and Central Asia - and made from many materials — glass, ceramic, and many types of metal. An attractive, lustrous patina has formed across the vessel. Excellent condition. For more information on Achaemenid phialai, see Wilkinson, C. K. (1949) The Art of the Ancient Near East. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin 7 (7); Muscarella, O.W. (1980) Excavated and Unexcavated Achaemenid Art, in Ancient Persia: The Art of an Empire, Invited Lectures on the Middle East at the University of Texas at Austin, edited by Schmandt-Besserat D. Undena Publications; Simpson, St J., Cowell, M.R. & La Niece, S. (2010). Achaemenid Silver, T.L. Jacks and the Mazanderan Connection in The World of Achaemenid Persia. History, Art and Society in Iran and the Ancient Near East. Proceedings of a conference at the British Museum 29th September - 1st October 2005 , 429-442. Size: L:40mm / W:160mm ; 205g. Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
