10th-12th century AD. A rectangular patrix die, slightly widened to one side, with raised image of the bearded, one-eyed face of Odin surrounded by a double roped border with a lozenge decoration showing incised detail underneath the face, possibly representing a spear. 30.17 grams, 74mm (3"). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. There is no doubt that the one-eyed face on this artefact is that of Odin, the king and ruler of Asgard, the realm of Viking gods. Odin's importance is recorded in the earliest written sources about Germanic tribes, when he was known mostly as Wodan and compared by Romans to their god Mercury; his character evolved through centuries, but his prevailing association was as the god of death, magic and war. Odin's obsession with possessing all knowledge is documented in many later poems. He lied to a giantess to obtain the divine poetic mead, dressed as a woman to gain the understanding of a special kind of magic, and hanged himself on the world tree Yggdrasil to discover the secret meaning of runes. One of his most famous sacrifices was his eye to the well of Mimir. Odin was not only unpredictable and ruthless, but a very powerful patron of Viking nobility, worshipped by warriors, artists, kings and berserkers. The mounts made with this patrix die, were most likely used to strengthen the connection between the wearer and the skills that Odin could grant him. The unusual triangular decoration underneath the face may represent gugnir, the famous spear made by dwarfs, who were tricked by the god Loki; alternatively, the incised detail might be the stylised face of Loki himself. Extremely fine condition. Excessively rare.
18th-19th century AD. A bronze bowl with bell-shaped profile and low basal ring, the inner and outer faces decorated with incised roundels and bands of calligraphic script; raised central cone, rim pierced. 368 grams, 18cm (7"). Fine condition. Property of an American collector; acquired Europe 1970s-1990s. In Islamic cultures magic bowls were made at least as early as the 12th century, though their use can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and were widely used in the Roman empire. They were used in Islam in the treatments of disease and other ailments, including insect and snake bites. Water placed in such bowls was believed to take on curative aspects after having come into contact with the various talismanic and Koranic symbols and verses etched onto such bowls. It was then drunk by the afflicted person.
17th century AD. A very large stoneware jug with bearded face motif below the rounded rim, round-section handle to the neck, heraldic panel to the body. 3.2 kg, 35cm (13 3/4"). Fine condition; two small chips to lip, small filled hole to side. Property of a Kent collector; by inheritance 1970; formerly property of Jack Smith, antiquarian and collector of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, UK, acquired 1920s-1960s. Cf. Klinge, E. Duits Steengoed, Amsterdam, 1996, items 20, 23, 37; for a discussion on Bellarmine jugs used as witch bottles in the seventeenth century see: Merrifield, R. The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic, London, 1987, pp. 163-175.
