9th-12th century AD. A bronze piriform mount or repoussé die with pellets to the border, central motif of a facing figure with centre-parted hair, the body angled forwards with geometric lines before, trefoil behind the shoulders, possibly depicting god Baldr being killed by a mistletoe branch. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence analysis certificate. Baldr was a young and beautiful god of light and purity, son of the god Odin and the goddess Frigg. He had a dream of his own death and when his mother found out about the danger, she made every object in every realm vow never to hurt Baldr, except mistletoe. Loki, cunning god of mischief, found out and hurried to the place where the gods were indulging in throwing objects at Baldr, which would bounce off without harming him. Loki gave the mistletoe to Baldr's blind brother Hodr, who then inadvertently killed his brother with it. The story of Baldr's death is also recorded in Saxo Grammaticus' book Gesta Danorum, although it tells a slightly different story, in which Balder (called Balderus) is defeated by Hodr (called Hotherus) with a magic sword called Mistletoe. In this tale, Balder and Hodr were rival suitors for the hand of Nanna (wife of Balder in Edda), and Balder was a demigod with (nearly) invulnerable body. 27 grams, 42mm (1 3/4"). From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. Very fine condition. Extremely rare.
750-650 BC. A rectangular ceramic tablet with cuneiform text; accompanied by a copy of an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Ancient Assyrian Clay Tablet. 95 x 52mm. The format of this tablet is unusual. The top two corners have been cut away, and a hole bored through the tab so created, to that the tablet could be held in a wooden frame. The real text in Assyrian cuneiform follows below this tab, and was continued on the reverse, but this is now lost. The tab on the obverse is decorated with crossing bands, and amid them there is a short inscription which is not now quite complete: 'Upon the house of Mr. [...] son of his god, .... [extend] protection.' The main text is intended to keep the owner safe from the myriad evil demons conceived to inhabit the universe. It is a variant of many such texts, but is apparently unique in its particular selection and listing of of [sic] these malign powers. In the continuation on the back, which is now lost, instructions on how to deal with these threats were no doubt written. The following is a translation, though the ends of the lines are mostly now lost: 'Preventive ritual. Evil of dreams, signs and evil omens, evil of wicked and fearful omens, evil and no good of [...] by making an offering, the diviner's rites [...] evil of sorceries, charms, spells, magic, evil of mankind, evil 'foot', ... dread, panic, silence, breathlessness, despondency, the curse of the gods, [...] the mouth of the people [....] confrontation with a god, [...] the ban of the gods [...].' The tablet dates to c. 750-650 B.C. and is rare in its particular format with the tab to hold it in a frame. The script preserved is that of a professional scribe: clear and legible where well preserved. 80 grams, 95mm (3 3/4"). Property of a North London collector; acquired in the 1970s. Fine condition. Rare.

Henry Zvi Zilberstein (1929-2009) portfolio with 8 signed lithographs, Judaica. The cover is designed as an English newspaper with the headline - Yiddishkite- Zvi Zilberstein. The portfolio includes the following lithographs: 1. The Kotel 2. Conversation 3. The Old Couple 4. The Letter 5. In The Ghetto 6. Bread and Water 7. Jewish Schooling 8. Torah Writing Each lithograph measures: 16in x 11.4in / 40.6cm. x 28.95cm. Each lithograph is signed and dated in the plate and hand signed and numbered by the artist. Henry Zilberstein. Born on 1929 in Paris. On 1943 he Joined the "Premiere armee francais" and participated in many battles. On 1947 he came to Israel and settled down in Kibbutz Chulata. He worked there as a fisherman, a truck driver and an architect but later (1995) abandoned all of those professions to commit to his painting. "Zvi (Henry) Zilberstein lived 70 years following the modernist's way of life, when one day he left the architect sketching desk for something he wasn't familiar with himself. He was guided more by vague intuition then by nostalgia, he was always too connected with his own culture and time. And still, there was one thing that inspired him: a black and white album entitled "Disappearing world". Its author, Roman Wishniak, a brilliant photographer, had spent the 20s and 30s in eastern Europe, capturing the humble and yet very rich lives of the Jewish communities on film. Today, Zilberstein is reliving the magic of those photos with delicate colors and a touch of humor, inspired by his admiration to the great American cartoonist, Norman Rockwell." Gabriel Roth.
