[A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website]Reputedly from the temple of ʿAthtar dhu-Garb in al-Sawdāʾ (ancient Nashshān) in the Jawf of Yemen. Previously in the private collection of Shlomo Moussaieff (1925–2015), Israel. Thence by descent. Acquired from the above 18 May 2021. Accompanied by Israeli export license. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register Search Confirmation number S00224376 with IADAA Certificate. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.12483 -229826. This lot has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database, and is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D’Amato.The animals represented do not fit with any common South Arabian models, and it is possible they are based on interpretation of foreign designs. The legend is a dedicatory text in Maʿīnic, and reads (from right to left): ' kʿ ṯt {animal} r/ḏ Grb k-ʿṯtr ḏ-Grb' (For {the god} ʿAthtar duh-Garb ) Ashtar, or Attar, was an ancient Semitic god of war, associated with the morning star, the gazelle and thunderstorms. As a thunder-god he was also associated with fertility, represented by rainstorms. It is likely this incense burner was dedicated to his temple in al-Sawdā, where it would have been used in his ceremonial rites. Al-Sawdā was known in ancient Yemeni inscriptions as 'Nashan' and was described as a great city with a robust wall. Nashan dates back to the 8th century BC (715 BC). In its first phase, it was an independent sovereign state, later joining the Ma’in state. It was a rich city, with commercial, religious and industrial success. In a later phase, it joined the kingdom of Sheba with the rest of the Ma’in state. It was known as one of the most important cities in the Ma’in Kingdom for the manufacture of metal vessels and the remains of ores of different minerals have been found there. But the great importance of the city was due to the fact that it was the city of temples; it retains the remnants of several examples described as some of the most beautiful temples in the entire Arabian Peninsula, amongst which is a group known as the “daughters of Aad” (temples of Attar), from which this incense burner likely came. South Arabia, called Arabia Felix (Fortunate Arabia) by the ancient Romans, was the southern fringe of the Arabian Peninsula. It owed its wealth to its position on the trade routes, in particularly those that supplied incense and myrrh. The production and export of incense was a fundamental part of the thriving economy of ancient South Arabian, and the variety of surviving incense burners is testament to this. Incense was of central importance to many of the ceremonies of the religions of the ancient world, burned to honour the gods and the dead. The kingdoms of South Arabia held a tight monopoly on these trades. Large metal incense burners such as this were doubtless the most valuable items of their type but few survive, making this an important example. The importance of the manufacture of bronze objects in ancient South Arabia can be seen from archaeological finds and inscriptions; bronze artefacts occur in South Arabian archaeological sites as often as donations of statues in dhb (the ancient South Arabian term for ‘bronze’) are recorded in South Arabian inscriptions. There are a great number of zoomorphic statues and statuettes, which in addition to being decorative, were probably used in some instances to represent divine hypostasis or to allude symbolically to the dedication of the temple. Shlomo Moussaieff (1925-2015) owned one of the world’s largest private collections of Near Eastern antiquities, surpassing those of many major museums. He collected widely for most of his life with a large expanse of interests, but mostly focussing on ancient artefacts. The Israel Museum and the Bible Lands Museum both displayed items from his collection, including elegant glassware fashioned by Ennion, the greatest of the Greek glassmakers, of which Moussaieff owned more than either the Sorbonne or the British Museum. Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv awarded Moussaieff an honorary doctorate in gratitude for his gift of rare Jewish mystical texts (kabbalah) and in 2003 the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., mounted a special exhibition consisting solely of seven of the world’s rarest and greatest diamonds displayed in a single vitrine. One of these diamonds, a nearly perfect red diamond of more than 5 carats, is known as the 'Moussaieff Red'.TimeLine Auctions follows a rigorous vetting process to ensure the authenticity and legality of all items, reinforcing our commitment to integrity and responsible trading.

STYLE OF WILLEM VAN DE VELDE THE YOUNGER Battle of the TexelOil on canvas, 84 x 145cmThe Battle of the Texel, also known as The Battle of Kijkduin, was fought on August 21st, 1673. It is recognised as the final engagement of the third of the four Anglo-Dutch wars which centred around international mercantile interests of that time. The French attended in support of the English fleet, due largely in part to the Secret Treaty of Dover, signed by King Louis XIV of France and King Charles II of Great Britain and Ireland in 1670. King Louis XIV had in fact stipulated privately to Admiral General Michiel de Ruyter that French losses were to be avoided. The lack of French participation in the battle was much noted by the English and led to a distinct rise in Francophobia in Britain in the years following. The English and The Dutch were both well established colonial trading powers in the 17th century, best exampled by the successes of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the East India Company (EIC) which were both enormously profitable. The Dutch monopoly on the spice trade threatened the security of Britain’s imports. The British navy responded by staging various attacks and privateering missions to slowly fracture the highly organised VOC trade routes including the particularly ruinous ‘Holmes’s Bonfire’ which targeted roughly 150 of the estimated 160 Dutch naval fleet. The Dutch responded most notably with a covert strike now referred to as ‘The Raid on Medway’ (1667). England, already much weakened by The Great Plague of London (1665-1666) and The Great Fire of London (1666) was taken by surprise when a flotilla of Dutch vessels captained by Michiel de Ruyter (1607-1676) lay siege to the town of Sheerness and sailed up the Thames destroying three of the English armada’s capital ships and several line vessels. Sir Edward Spragge (c.1620-1673) led the defence of Sheerness to little avail. The humiliation of this engagement and the disastrous ‘Four Day Battle’ the same year infuriated Spragge who swore on oath to the King Charles II that he would kill Dutch naval officer Cornelis Tromp (1629-1691) with whom he had clashed in several of the aforementioned naval battles. The Battle of Texel is best remembered as the scene of the final engagement between Sir Edward Spragge and Lieutenant-Admiral General Cornelis Tromp, both commanding the rear divisions of their respective sides. For Spragge it was a personal vendetta as he had been mocked and satirised for the losses in their previous confrontations. So fierce was their exchange of fire that Spragge was forced to move his flag from his ship The Royal Prince to HMS St George, and Trompe similarly fled from the Gulden Leeuw to the Comeetstar. Both captains were in the process of moving ship a third time when the sloop boat Spragge was rowing was buckled by a cannonball and Sir Edward Spragge drowned in the North Sea. The painting presented is after an oil on canvas painting by Willem van de Velde the Younger (1633-1707), a painter who is widely recognised as the leading Dutch maritime painter of the late 17th century. The original work is currently held in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London. It exists as one of many highly prized naval scenes painted by the artist of the Anglo-Dutch wars. The scene depicted features Spragge’s ship The Royal Prince in the centre with her main mast splintered and her foremast standing. She is depicted firing directly into either The Gulden Leeuw or the Comeetstar. The Prince’s flag in the double stripe variant is clearly visible identifying this as one of Tromp’s primary vessels and therefore further delineating the legendary standoff between the two men. Considering neither belligerent suffered the loss of a sunken vessel, The Battle of Texel remains a remarkable turning point in Anglo-Dutch history. Stephanie Brennan, February 2025
