TimeLine Auctions Limited

Lot 1348

2nd-3rd century AD. A carved schist Atlant figurine, winged and nude, seated with right hand on the knee and left hand on the thigh; mounted on a custom-made stand. See Stanco, L. Greek Gods in the East: Hellenistic Iconographic Schemes in Central Asia, Prague, 2012; Nagar, S. Gandharan Sculpture: A Catalogue of the Collection in the Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri-Columbia, 1981. 5 kg, 23cm including stand (9"). Private collection, North London; acquired in the early 1980s. Also known as Bharavahaka, meaning that which carries, these are a class of Hindu and Buddhist nature deity known as a Yaksha that has incorporated Graeco-Roman ideas of Atlas. As a decorative element in Gandharan Buddhist sculpture they are shown as multiple figures that ran in a narrow band below the relief panels around the four faces of a stupa plinth. The local nature deities take on a protective, as well as supportive role, for Buddhist iconography and ideology. The images of the Atlant figures always shows them in Greaco-Roman style and this is an excellent example of the eastern Hellenistic art that flourished in Central Asia. Fine condition.

Rev: triple-tailed horse with charioteer's arms above, eye symbol behind and eight-spoked wheel below with corded wide V-shaped ground line. S. -; BMC -; ABC 485 variant. 6.05 grams. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes: 'There are some distinctive differences which set this Selsey Corded-V Type gold stater apart from the standard Selsey stater types, both biface and uniface - differences which may not be apparent at first glance, but which are nonetheless important in positioning this 'newcomer' within the series. The first is the weight of the Corded V-Type: at 6.05 grams it is uncommonly heavy, which suggests that it comes near the start of the series (of the 33 /Remi' Type staters listed by Hobbs only one weighs as much as 6.05 grams). Secondly, there are two large pellets beyond the hair locks at 11 o'clock; these may be on a few other Selsey staters (see BMC 452), but I've not seen them so clearly revealed before. Thirdly, the line under the horse isn't the usual wiggle serpentine line - it's a corded line. And fourthly - the line isn't in the familiar crescent form - it's in a V-shape. So, all in all, a somewhat unexpected discovery......'. Extremely fine; large flan, boldly struck. Excessively rare; perhaps a unique variant?

The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket); ex Matthew Rich collection; found Ratham, near Chichester, West Sussex, 1999. Chris Rudd notes: 'One of the finest Willett's Nipple gold quarter staters that has been unearthed, unrivalled for its reverse detail since discovered fourteen years ago by metdec Kevin Fifield. The Y-shape also occurs on Durotrigan coins (cf. ABC 2145, 2190-2199, 2205-08). For Ernest Willett's views on Willett's Nipples see 1880, p.32 or Chris Rudd List 47, p.10.'

The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes (List 20, 6): 'The 'turf' cutter with teeth motif links this queer quarter with the Cheriton Smiler gold stater, VA 1215-1, even if only stylistically.

The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and tickets); ex John Haritou and Australian collections; previously with Chris Rudd, 2001. Chris Rudd notes: 'King Cunobelinus proudly promoted an ear of wheat on his gold staters, associated with CAMV. Not to be outdone by his rival north of the Thames, King Verica boldly featured a vine leaf on some of his gold staters, associated with the first part of his name. It is thought that this vine leaf referred to Verica's importation of fine Italian wine in particular and his close friendship with Rome and Roman customs in general. The engraving of this stater is definitely Roman in style.' Good very fine.

The first specimen was found in 2002 and published in January 2003 (Chris Rudd List 67, p.3). I pointed out then that the boar's forelegs stand for II, which equates with the Celtic letter E, which gives us the name ALE, which was already known from the Ale Sca type (ABC 1708), first discovered in 1929 during the excavations at Venta Icenorum, near Norwich.......'

Chris Rudd notes: 'This is unquestionably one of the finest South Ferriby gold staters that we've ever had the pleasure of offering for sale. It boasts an absolutely enormous flan which allows plenty of room for the more unusual parts of its exciting design to be clearly seen and appreciated. Note the snake-like scroll containing three pellets in triangular formation. Note too the beaded decoration on the vertical line of the so-called 'anchor' which is actually a hidden face with a down-turned mouth. A spectacular gold stater which is going to make the Corielavian section of someone's collection look very special'. Superb extremely fine; very large flan, boldly struck.

The great rarity of the Torksey Quarter may be gauged from the fact that there isn't a single one in the British Museum and that not even the colossal Corieltavian collection of Michael O'Bee had one'. Good very fine; sharply struck. Excessively rare (only two others recorded).

Chris Rudd notes: 'Robert Kretz says This stater was struck from an intriguing obverse die. It must have been damaged soon after it was produced, as the dozen or so coins known to originate from it show a greater or lesser degree of surface damage. Yet the interest does not stop there, because this coin also possesses a highly unusual reverse. Although the inscription is off the flan, we can be sure it belongs to my letter II type, so named after the central portion of the inscription DVBNOVIILLA. The letter II type differs from its predecessors in featuring a shortened legend and a more Romanised, elegant horse. Its successors remained essentially the same, except for replacing the letters II with the more modern E. At first glance this reverse looks like an example of the 'star' type (VA 1655), but what you see is in fact the early British form of the letter A. The coin was struck from a rare reverse die which, had it been recorded at the time, would have been listed under class D3-5, dies P21 on page 26 of my study The Trinovantian Staters of Dubnovellaunos, BNJ 78 (2008). Only one other coin is recorded from this reverse die, which is unique within the series for placing the final letter A below, rather than above, the end of the horse's tail. Very fine/near extremely fine; superb horse, large branch. Extremely rare (only one other recorded from this reverse die).

This excellent example not only shows the wings of the winged sceptre on the obverse, but also a crescentic hidden face like the one on our Commius E-Type gold stater (no 20). The reverse allows us to see not one but two cruciform 'cogwheel' ornaments: one before the horse (complete), the other under the horse (top part). There is also a very bold pellet-triad immediately above the horse's head.' Good very fine; neat flan. Rare.

Rev: horse right with ladder-like mane, pellets and branch above and CVN below. S. 281; BMC 1772-1783; ABC 2774. 5.42 grams. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes: 'Rainer Kretz says: A nice example of a Linear-type stater, quite different to the one offered in Chris Rudd 110, no 46. This variant is distinguished by having a small x below the CA on the obverse and a tiny pellet above the letter M, both probably representing some kind of privy mark put there by the die cutter/mint master to identify the output from this particular die. The ubiquitous palm branch above the horse, which forms a feature of almost all of the 'corn ear' series appears to have been directly inherited from Dubnovellaunos' Trinovantian stater (VA 1650/1655) who had in turn borrowed it from one of Addedomaros' staters (VA 1635). Thirty-five years ago, Allen in his important paper 'Cunobelins' Gold' (Britannia, 6, 1-19) placed the Linear type at the start of the famous 'corn ear' series of staters, a position that has remained unchallenged to this day. The obverse was struck from Allen's die G while the reverse die was unknown at the time he wrote Cunobelin's Gold. Near extremely fine; slightly oval flan.

The reverse die for this coin shows the pellet above and below the horse typical of the extremely rare Plastic 'B type' (with B before horse) rather than the pellet-in-annulet below horse usually seen; possibly a hybrid or perhaps even an example of the B type as the area in front of the horse is off flan so will have to await matching with another example from the same die where (hopefully) this area is shown.

S. 288; BMC 1829-1831; ABC 2798 variant (pellet between C.A and no ornament at base of corn stalk). 5.30 grams. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes: 'Rainer Kretz says This particular variant of a 'classic' Cunobelinus stater has a small pellet between the letters C and A, probably some form of privy-mark. The obverse shows the usual corn ear, which has here been stripped of all non-essentials like scrolls and now represents a visually striking regal emblem. Of all the seventeen reverse dies listed in Derek Allen's 'Cunobelin's Gold' published in 1975, this is one of the finest in artistic terms, falling not far short of the slightly later and much sought after left-facing version (VA 2029). It portrays a beautifully proportioned and well-muscled horse rearing up on its hind legs and is clearly the work of a master engraver who may well have been classically trained. When Derek Allen examined Cunobelin's Gold in 1975 he recorded just four coins from the die combination Gh, a number that may have now risen to around twenty. A coin from the same dies was offered in C. Rudd list 88, no. 54. Good very fine; full inscriptions, muscular horse, hairline striking crack at edge. Scarce.
