A Cypriot bronze lamp holder Cypro-Archaic II, circa 6th Century B.C.23cm highFootnotes:Provenance:Cpt. Edwin Henry Lawrence F.S.A.

F.S.A., etc; Sotheby's, London, 25 April 1892, lot 163.Anonymous sale; Münzen und Medaillen A.G., Basel, Auktion 34, 6 May 1967, lot 3 (and Sonderliste J, Bronzegefässe und Bronzegeräte der Antike, Basel, 1968, p. 8-9, no. 14).with Jean-David Cahn AG, Basel, 2000.Private collection, Switzerland, acquired from the above in 2007.Edwin Henry Lawrence F.S.A. (1819-1891) was the great-nephew of the Regency-period society painter Sir Thomas Lawrence. Amongst other collecting interests, he amassed a considerable collection of Egyptian and Cypriot antiquities during his lifetime. The Cypriot antiquities were mostly collected or excavated on Cyprus between 1876 and 1878 by his future son-in-law Alessandro Palma di Cesnola. Following his death artworks from his collection entered the collections of the British Museum and the first Pitt-Rivers collection in Oxford, as well as ending up in innumerable other international institutions following four large sales of his collection at Sotheby's in the late 1890s.Cf. two similar lamp holders in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc. no. 74.51.5639 and 74.51.5641, both formerly in the Cesnola collection. It is noted that the form likely originated with the Phoenicians. Examples are also held in the British Museum (acc. nos. 1891,0806.84, 1894,1101.240, 1896,0201.303), as well as the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Antikensammlung in Berlin (inv. Ant.

A Roman blue-green glass flask with internal threads Circa 5th-6th Century A.D.19.8cm high Footnotes:Provenance:The Alfred Wolkenberg (d. 1990) collection, New York.The Alfred Wolkenberg Collection of Ancient Glass, Christie's, London, 9 July 1991, lot 50.Anonymous sale; Christie's, London, 14-15 May 2002, lot 527.The Nico F. Bijnsdorp Collection (NFB 120), acquired from the above sale.This lot is a remarkable survival. At first glance this is a typical late Roman flask with a bulbous body and tall cylindrical neck decorated with applied trailing. However, in addition, there are four internal delicate hollow spikes or trails of glass that extend from the lower body to the shoulders that are still intact. Their function remains a mystery but certainly serve as a vehicle to display the skill of the master glassmaker who would have jabbed the initial bubble of glass with a sharp instrument before inflating it to create these hollow taught threads. For a long-necked flask with a spherical body containing five threads in the Bomford Collection and a smaller flask with eight internal threads but without the decorative trailing on the neck in the British Museum see N. Thomas, Ancient Glass. The Bomford Collection of Pre-Roman & Roman Glass on loan to the City of Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, Bristol, 1976, p. 34, no.159 and D.Harden et al., Masterpieces of Glass, British Museum, London, 1968, p. 90, no. 125.

A Near Eastern basalt altar Chalcolithic period, circa 4th Millennium B.C.30.2cm highFootnotes:Provenance:French art market.Anonymous sale; Christie's, New York, 18th December 1998, lot 254.M. Schoulmers collection, Belgium, acquired from the above sale; and thence by descent until 2022.Altars of this type have been found in and around the Golan region of western Syria and eastern Israel, and appear to be carved from local basalt. It has been suggested that these altars represent household gods. In the Chalcolithic period a nose was often added to non-anthropomorphic cultic objects, suggesting that the nose was identified as being connected to the breath of life, and therefore able to imbue an object with anthropomorphic qualities.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

From the 18th Dynasty, the base of the cones started to be impressed with the name and titles of the tomb's owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Johnson, The Greek Youthening: Assessing the Iconographic Changes within Courtship during the Late Archaic Period, Tennessee, 2015, pp. 168–170, 247, fig. 39.Side A depicts a scene of intercrural lovemaking between an older, bearded man and a male youth, in what Davidson called 'one of the most flagrant scenes of homosexual copulation' (ibid), and Kilmer noted as 'our earliest example of actual copulation' between a man and youth (ibid, p.16). Pederastic partnerships such as this, between an erastes and an eromenos, were a widely-accepted social institution amongst the aristocracy in Archaic and Classical Athens, and were seen to offer the younger male mentorship and an initiation into the social etiquette of the upper echelons as he came of age as a citizen.Side A also depicts a third male, likely the older male's slave, sitting to the side and holding his master's staff; his inclusion in the scene may serve to emphasise that the lovers are part of the aristocracy. The architectural column, and the strigil, sponge and aryballos which hang in the field, indicate that this scene takes place within the palaistra, i.e. a wrestling school or gymnasium. This setting is fitting both because it was a place where men were commonly nude, and their bodies perfected and admired, and also because Classical pederastic relationships included the erastes supporting, both financially and otherwise, the athletic and educational pursuits of the eromenos. For example, Xenophon's Symposium, set in 422 B.C., recounts a banquet hosted by Calias III's home in honour of his beloved Autolykos' victory in the pentathlon at the Panathenaic Games.Side B depicts a komos scene of a youth playing the double flute behind a heavily-draped female, who is playing krotala and is likely hetaera. A ball (?) and staff hang in the field.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
An Egyptian gilt polychrome painted cartonnage mummy mask Late Ptolemaic-Early Roman Period, circa 1st Century B.C.-1st Century A.D.48cm highFootnotes:Provenance:with Charles Ede Ltd, London (Small Sculpture from Ancient Egypt, 1970, no. 40, and C. Ede, Collecting Antiquities, London, 1976, cover and p.97, no. 267).Bodo Bleß (1940-2022) collection, Berlin, acquired from the above.According to Egyptian tradition the mask was believed to act as a substitute for the deceased's head, giving the owner attributes of the gods, so helping their journey to the afterlife. Typically the gilt face is surrounded by scenes of protective deities. On this mask the sun disc on the forehead and the winged scarab above symbolise regeneration and Osiris is shown on each of the lappets being venerated by the deceased, while beneath there is a row of seated deities. On each side of the mask there is the protective figure of winged Isis.It is suggested that such gilt masks belonged to people of relatively high social status. For a discussion of gilt masks, see S. Walker and M. Bierbrier, Ancient Faces, Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt, British Museum, 1997, pp. 77-78.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An Etruscan bronze figure of Herakles Circa 4th-3rd Century B.C.13cm highFootnotes:Provenance:Ruspoli collection.Private collection Ticino, Switzerland.with Galleria Serodine, Ascona, 1998.Private collection, Switzerland, acquired from the above 4 December 1999.Herakles, or Hercle, was more god than hero to the Etruscans, as attested by the numerous sanctuaries dedicated to him, and the large number of surviving statuettes, which likely served a votive purpose. He is first recorded in Etruria in the 7th Century B.C., and his legendary exploits rapidly became a favourite subject of Etruscan imagery. For another statuette of attacking Herakles, see M. Comstock and C. Vermeule, Greek, Etruscan & Roman Bronzes in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Boston, 1971, p. 163, no. 185.In style, this figure seems to belong to the 'Trivento group', a class of bronzes produced in Southwestern Italy - from these examples, it is clear this figure once held a club in the raised right hand (A.-M.
