Upper Cretaceous Period, 66 million years BP. A group of samples of the carbonised material from the K-T Boundary, resulting from the asteroid impact with the earth that triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs. 56 grams total, 5-45mm (1/4-1 3/4").

Iridium of this concentration does not form naturally on the earth, but is commonly found in celestial objects such as asteroids. [45+, No Reserve] Fine condition.

Lot 1863

Late 1st millennium BC. A gold finger ring with square-section hoop, scooped shoulders, piriform plaque with granule to the point, insert red glass(?) cloison with intaglio winged figure of Eros beside a pillar. 6.62 grams, 22mm overall, 16.25mm internal diameter (approximate size British K 1/2, USA 5 1/2, Europe 11.0, Japan 10) (3/4").

Lot 188

1st millennium BC. A high quality manufacture bronze short sword comprising a slender leaf-shaped blade with thick midrib and rounded point, integral crescentic guard with scooped lower faces, columnar grip and domed pommel with flattened end of the tang; the pommel with circumferential incised lines and arcade to the lower edge, alphabetic (?) inscription above. See Branigan, K. Aegean Metalwork of the Early and Middle Bronze Age, Oxford, 1974, item 246 for similar blade-profile. 567 grams, 45.5cm (18"). Property of a London gentleman; previously acquired on the UK art market in the 1990s. The inscription is enigmatic. It is not the standard type of cuneiform writing encountered on some bronze weaponry from e.g. ancient Luristan. Luwian ( both cuneiform and hieroglyphs) are also excluded based on the shapes of the characters. The forms present do not appear to be cursive but mainly rectilinear. The Mandaic script of the mid-1st millennium BC is one possibility, although it uses more cursive forms than can be seen on the pommel. Lycian, a language spoken in the eastern Mediterranean in the later 1st millennium BC, shares some characters with the present inscription, but by the time this language and script rose to prominence (around 500 BC) the use of bronze weapons was waning, replaced by iron technology. Fine condition.
