Property of an American collector; formerly in the collection of H. Gordon Bois; acquired from Sotheby's, 1 April 1947; the 1947 catalogue entry dates this ring as 16th century and of either Italian or German origin. Supplied with a copy of an EGL Gemological laboratory report, New York, USA, dated 13 October 2016; a Fischer Technology Inc., Windsor, Connecticut, metallurgy report; and a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate from Oxford X-ray Fluorescence Ltd. The stone was sourced from the Golconda mines, Hyderabad, India, which ceased production in 1725. It was subjected to analysis at EGL USA in New York in October 2016 and certified 'Type IIA and not treated'. Type II diamonds have no nitrogen impurities. Type IIa diamonds comprise 1-2% of all natural diamonds; they are often entirely devoid of impurities and are usually colourless. The underside of the ring's bezel was probably cut away in the 19th century to improve the appearance of the stone. Dr Bonewitz notes: 'The diamond would have, at the time of its cutting, been described as a 'diamond of the first water', in reference to its perfect clarity. The term went out of use for defining the colour, clarity and internal cleanliness of diamonds when newer, more scientific grading systems came into use. Golconda stones of this purity are very rare.' Very fine condition. Rare.

Lot 492
3rd-2nd century BC. A carved alabaster block with face and hair detail, oversized lentoid eye sockets to accept marble inserts, scrolled ears, row of attachment points to the brow and temples. See Deverill, J and Katz, K. Sculpture From South Arabia. London, 1970; Simpson, J (ed) Queen of Sheba: Treasures From Ancient Yemen, London, 2002. 11 kg, 23cm (9"). Property of a West London gentleman; acquired between 1980-2010. South Arabia had long possessed important trading posts along its shores, many of them taking advantage of the sea routes to India that were navigated by merchants from Ptolemaic Egypt and the Roman Empire. There were also important overland trade routes through the area for the export of costly incense from the region and these two trade routes contributed to the wealth of the area. It was also the influence of the Classical cultures that passed through and traded there that resulted in a mix Classical and indigenous art styles and ideas. The majority of art that is found in religious, palace and domestic contexts is to a large extent Classical; it is the funerary art that remains purely South Arabian, and this may be due to a strong ancestor cult that did not require, or even resisted, Classical culture. The heads often have inscriptions beneath them naming the individual and the clan to which they belonged. They were either set up over the graves, often set into stela, or in niches in funerary chapels where rituals to honour the dead were carried out. A distinguishing feature of these heads are the large eyes, which were often either painted or inlaid with stone or shell. Many also show recesses for the attachment of jewellery, as in this example which has a diadem possibly marking him out as an important individual. Fair condition.
Lot 1518

His interest in antiquity was piqued when, during the 1970s, he spent some time working in Israel and had the opportunity to visit Roman-period locations including Lake Galilee and Masada, the site of the famous Judaean revolt and subsequent massacre. He made his first purchases at that time and was soon building an enviable collection of artefacts. While at university, he was able to study human remains at first hand in conjunction with archaeological research and from there his passion for the human aspects of historical research was kindled. Now retired, Mike indulges one of his other passions – wildlife and nature photography. Very fine condition.
