* MALCOLM DICKSON, UNBALANCED ACCOUNT oil on panel, initialled, signed, titled and dated 1975 verso image size 61cm x 61cm, overall size 79cm x 79cm Framed. Note: A fascinating composition from Malcolm Dickson. The use of the Royal Bank of Scotland logo must have relevance. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (often referred to as RBS) uses branding developed for the Bank on its merger with the National Commercial Bank of Scotland in 1969. The Group's logo takes the form of an abstract symbol of four inward-pointing arrows known as the "Daisy Wheel" and is based on an arrangement of 36 piles of coins in a 6 by 6 square, representing the accumulation and concentration of wealth by the Group.

* ERLEND BROWN (BRITISH b. 1947). UNTITLED oil on panel, signed and titled verso overall size 76cm x 76cm Unframed, as always intended. Note: Erlend Brown was born in 1947 and is a nephew of George Mackay Brown. He attended Stromness Academy then studied at Edinburgh College of Art. He taught art in primary and secondary schools in Orkney for eight years before being appointed as the first curator of the Pier Arts Centre which opened in 1979. He worked there for twelve years, overseeing exhibitions of local and international artists. Since then he has been a full time artist working in Orkney and Zurich, Switzerland. He made drawings for a number of publications by George Mackay Brown: A Portrait of Orkney (1988), the story “Eureka” in The Sea King’s Daughter and Eureka (Balnain Books, 1991) and The Sea and the Tower (Bayeux, 1994). He created four of the fourteen large sails that hung between the pillars of St Magnus Cathedral in 1993 and 2017 forming the installation Sails in St Magnus: Pilgrimage of Earl Rognvald. Created for the 1993 St Magnus Festival, the work was based on the Orkneyinga Saga account of the 12th century voyage of Vikings from Orkney to the Holy Land. The saga relates that after the return from the 3 year voyage the Vikings dried their sails in the loft of the Cathedral. As well as poetry and other literature, Erlend’s work is influenced by the environment and ecology, and explores a variety of materials. Landscapes and seascapes reveal human presence, our constructions and detritus; sails bear the marks of journeys, physical and interior, their accrued memories and symbols. His work has been exhibited in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles; Edinburgh and London; the Faroes, Norway, France and Switzerland. At least seven of Erlend Brown's artworks are held in UK public collections.
Ceremonial hanging from Bali used in a temple for the 'tooth filing' ceremony. Patchwork cotton triangles with embroidered central panel and added reflecting discs and 'tooth' shaped decorations. 170 x 135cm. Not sure how old, but certainly pre 1930's. Notes: The tooth filing ceremony is an upper class event when a child, particularly a girl, reaches puberty. The initiation details were explained to me by a Hindu priest. He was keen to tell me it was a practice that disappeared several generations ago. It was meant to overcome man's bestiality, the pointed canine teeth were considered animalistic and thus all 6 upper front teeth were filed even. (Perhaps a dentist would like to hang this in his waiting room!)
Carved wood panel. This exquisite panel was the front of a chest from Nuristan in the very east of Afghanistan. The two peacocks are a clear indication of its age, pre Muslim and origin, Kafiristan.120 x 42cm. Early 20th c. or possibly older. Notes: Kafiristan took its name from the enduring kafir (non-Muslim) Nuristani inhabitants who once followed a distinct form of ancient Hinduism mixed with locally developed accretions. The Kafirs, meaning "disbelievers" or "infidels" are closely related to the Kalash people, a fiercely independent people with a distinctive culture, language and religion. The inhabitants were converted from an animist religion, a form of ancient Hinduism infused with local variations to Islam in 1895. Now the region has become known as Nuristan ("land of illumination", or "land of light").
Artist: Damien Hirst (English, b.1965). Title: "Pharmacy Panel (Gold) (2004) (4 panel)". Medium: Color silkscreen and offset lithograph. Date: Composed 2004. Dimensions: Overall size: 36 x 41 1/4 in. (914 x 1048 mm). Image size: 36 x 41 1/4 in. (914 x 1048 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Printed with five colors and metallic gold ink. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Backed with a conservation support sheet. Provenance: Private collection, Birmingham, England. Comment(s): A panel of wallpaper (the complete pattern). In 1997, for his restaurant called 'The Pharmacy' located at Notting Hill Gate, London, Hirst designed wallpaper (the "wall chart") based on the pharmaceutical giant Merck’s handbook endpapers, showing pills and products and describing them with their pharmaceutical titles. Merck objected and he withdrew it as an artwork of wallpaper, after he had already plastered the restaurant with silver and gold sheets of the material. Hirst's venture gained further publicity thanks to a dispute with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, which claimed the name, pill bottles, and medical items on display could confuse people looking for a real pharmacy. The name itself breached the Medicines Act 1968, which restricts the use of the word "pharmacy". The restaurant's name was subsequently changed to "Army Chap" and then "Achy Ramp" (anagrams of "pharmacy"). Initial plans to open further restaurants outside London were quietly dropped and the restaurant itself closed in September, 2003. Sotheby's dispersed its contents in 2004. For the massive Pharmacy sale at Sotheby’s in 2004, though, new wallpaper was designed and made that didn’t offend copyright laws, using biblical titles and references to biblical passages.
