Ionia, Ephesos AV Stater. Circa 133-88 BC. Draped bust of Artemis to right, wearing stephane, necklace of pearls and with her bow and quiver over her shoulder / Cult statue of the Artemis of Ephesos facing, a fillet hanging from each hand, deer to inner left, bee to inner right; Ε-Φ across fields. B.V. Head, 'On the chronological sequence of the coins of Ephesus', Num. Chron. 1880, p. 69, 2, and plate 5, 3 = Berlin, SM 219. 8.51g, 20mm, 12h. Very Fine. Extremely Rare, possibly only the second example known. The Hellenistic era gold coinage struck at Ephesos is extremely rare and rarely well preserved. Previously thought to have all been struck during the Mithradatic wars, this is now believed not to be the case. Some appear to be dated by the era of the Province of Asia and the dates they bear are too early for them to be Mithradatic War issues. That being said, they were not necessarily all issued at the same time, and such undated types as the present specimen could well have been issued much later. For an in depth discussion on the dating of this series cf. Gilbert K. Jenkins, 'Hellenistic gold coins of Ephesus', in Festschrift E. Akurgal, Anadolu-Anatolia 21, 1978/80, Ankara, 1987, pp. 183-8, pls. A-B. The reverse of this coin depicts the famous cult statue of Ephesian Artemis, housed in the great temple of Artemis that is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The original image of the goddess was a wooden xoanon that had represented a pre-Hellenic goddess who the Greeks later equated with Artemis. This first image, which was kept decorated with jewellery, was possibly lost in a flood in the 8th or 7th century which destroyed the temple; excavations have discovered the tear-shaped amber drops of elliptical cross-section which must have dressed it. In circa 550 BC, when reconstruction of the temple was begun (partly financed by Kroisos), it was undertaken in grand style and was supposedly the first Greek temple to be built of marble. The wooden xoanon was replaced by a new ebony or grapewood statue sculpted by Enoidos, which presumably survived until the temple was again destroyed, this time by an act of arson on the part of one Herostratos. The second destruction of the temple coincided with the birth of Alexander the Great; Plutarch later noted that Artemis was too preoccupied with Alexander's delivery to save her burning temple. The form of the goddess is distinctly near-eastern in appearance; characteristics such as her legs being enclosed in a tapering pillar-like term are closely related to Egyptian and Hittite images, and the curious feature of the many protuberances on her chest (usually described as breasts or eggs) are decidedly non-Greek in origin, and indeed have defied explanation or identification for centuries, though an association with fertility seems implicit.

Roman, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A superb, finely cast bronze chariot attachment featuring beautiful Venus, goddess of romantic love, nude save her lovely, crescent-shaped diadem, gracefully standing in classic contrapposto, holding a garment in her left hand and a long wavy lock of hair in her right, as her elbow rests on a slender pillar. The iron-shaped form behind possesses a large attachment loop at the upper end. Brilliant artistry and gorgeous green patina! Custom stand. Size: 2.375" W x 7.125" H (6 cm x 18.1 cm); 8.25" H (21 cm) on standVenus (the Roman Aphrodite) is depicted as if she is about to take a bath or perhaps stepping out of it, with her head ever so slightly tipped to her right, an attractive coiffure parted at the center, swept back along the contours of her diadem, the long, curled locks meticulously delineated and cascading down her shoulders. Look closely and you will see that the goddess' elegant, oval face is sensitively modeled so as to present a naturalistic visage characteristic of the Hellenistic period with a rounded forehead, almond-shaped eyes, a fine browline that arches gracefully and merges with the bridge of her nose, a soft rounded chin, and bow-shaped lips. Her body and its weight-shift pose reveals the sculptor's study of anatomy, realistic proportions, and movement of the human body. Interestingly, Roman chariots were not used for warfare, but instead in triumphal processions and circuses. As a result, elaborate finials like these became de rigeur, lending a unique look to each chariot, where they were mounted on posts above each wheel. The carriage was supported by leather straps wrapped around the shaft and guided by the projecting arms. This absorbed the vibrations of the wooden wheels, making the ride smoother. Imagine the sun flashing off of the dark, polished bronze that these would have been when made! Provenance: Ex-private east coast, USA collection Condition: Normal surface wear with a few minor nicks/losses that may be casting flaws. Overall fabulous with brilliant green patina.

Afghanistan or northern Pakistan, Hindu Shahi dynasty, ca. 7th to 10th century CE. A carved stone relief depicting "Narasimha" - the half human and half lion fourth avatar that Vishnu becomes in order to kill the asura by the name of "Hiranyakashipu", with a flowing mane, highly decorated in two beaded necklaces of varying lengths, beaded armbands, and bracelets, and wielding a roped weapon - suggesting that this sculpture depicts the moment when the leonine faced, curly maned figure slayed the demon Hiranyakasipu! This image was created after the cult of Narasimha had assumed regal status in India under Vakataka. Custom stand. Size: 6.125" W x 10.25" H (15.6 cm x 26 cm); 11.125" H (28.3 cm) on stand.According to Hindu mythology, the god Brahma told the demon Hiranyakashipu that he was invincible and could not be killed by either a human or animal, by day or night, and that no weapon could rival his powers. However, his son Prahlada was loyal to Vishnu, despite the fact that his father threatened his life because of this. One day, the demon Naramshimha challenging Prahlada kicked a stone pillar and asked, "If your god is so omnipresent, does he exist in this pillar as well?" At this point, Vishnu emerged from the pillar in the form of the man-lion Naramsimha and fiercely killed the demon!Interestingly, these sculptures were oftentimes painted, and their polychrome finish would have added great drama and life to such icons when viewed and worshipped by devotees in a softly lit temple sanctuary - creating a palpable divine presence. Provenance: Ex-Private New Jersey collection Condition: Losses to peripheries but figure is quite vivid.
