Lot 64
Ca. 1368–1644 AD. Ming Dynasty. An elaborate male figure with beautifully glazed pigment. The man is standing with his feet apart on a large lotus throne on top of a high hexagonal plinth. He is dressed in a long green coat lined with yellow and tied at the waist by a light pink belt. He is wearing dark shoes and a high conical hat with elaborate decoration. His face shows a calm expression with closed eyes, a broad nose, and small lips. The hair preserves traces of a dark colour. He is carrying what appears to be a scroll on his left shoulder and the left hand grasps the string across his chest, while the other arm lies at his side. These types of figurines were tomb attendants, a class of artefacts called 'mingqi' – sometimes known as "spirit utensils" or "vessels for ghosts". They became popular in the Han Dynasty and would persist for several centuries. Alongside figures like this one were musicians, athletes, and animals. Mingqi often show a high level of detail and naturalism. These were designed to assist the 'po', the part of the soul of the deceased that remained underground with the body while the 'hun', the other part of the soul, ascended. Hundreds of pottery figures like these were placed into tombs during the Ming period. In one undisturbed Ming Dynasty prince's tomb, archaeologists found an array of small figures placed as if in ceremonial procession; the deceased's books, paintings, clothing, and other personal effects were also present. Good condition. For a general overview of the art of the Ming Dynasty, see Department of Asian Art. (2000). "Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)"; In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/ming/hd_ming.htm). Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong. Size: L:550mm / W:130mm ; 3kg
Lot 34
Ca. 100-500 AD. Gandharan. A stucco lion on a modern wooden plinth. The lion is seated, rising from the base with its front paws erect. It has a detailed mane of undulating strands of hair, and it has wide open eyes with a tongue dangling from a gaping mouth, maintaining the lion’s threatening nature. The lion was an important symbol in Gandharan art and Buddhist iconography. The region had been conquered by a string of great powers in the preceding centuries who, together with Gandhara’s important location on trade routes, imported many different cultural ideas into the area; the lion had been an important symbol of kingship and power in the Achaemenid Empire, due to its majesty and ferocity, and this idea took root in Gandhara too where thrones were decorated with lion-shaped throne supports in a design very similar to this one. It had important religious associations too, being one of the primary symbols of all Buddhism itself, as a lion was associated with the Shakya Clan from which the Buddha came (Shakyasimha – ‘Lion of the Shakya Clan’). Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in Belgium; previously in 1970s European collection. Size: L:260mm / W:230mm ; 6kg
Lot 30
Ca. 200–400 AD. Gandharan. A schist stone statue of a bodhisattva. He is seated cross-legged on a decorated plinth, richly dressed in the fine garments of a North Indian prince, with various necklaces, bracelets, and a loosely draped sanghati robe. His hair is tied up in an elegant floral headdress. This clarifies he is a bodhisattva, with jewellery and finery representing spiritual riches before attaining the simpler attire of a Buddha. A bodhisattva was originally conceived as Gautama on his path to enlightenment before he became the Buddha, but by this point, it was conceived as anyone who was in the process of reaching enlightenment, or who had reached it but, forsaking nirvana, chose to remain in this world to teach others how to reach it too. His finely modelled face is decorated an urna on his forehead that symbolises the third eye and spiritual clarity. His hands are held together resting in his lap, and they hold a lotus flower. The lotus was a symbol of absolute purity, and as the beautiful flower emerged from muddy waters in nature it was seen as a symbol of attaining purity out of impurity. The front of the plinth depicts two towers framing a fire altar scene in which two worshippers flank the altar. The rear is unworked, and this piece probably decorated a stupa. The almond-shaped eyes and the statue’s iconography are typically South Asian Buddhist, but elements like the smoothness of the face and the musculature of the body draw on Classical tradition. Gandhara sat at the crossroad of civilisations on the Silk Road, drawing on influences from across the world, and its earlier conquest by Alexander the Great had left a legacy of Greek artisans and enduring Hellenistic style. This makes Gandharan art distinct for its use of Buddhist themes and iconography with some of the delicate naturalism of Greek sculpture. Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in Belgium; previously in 1970s European collection. Size: L:375mm / W:210mm ; 5.9kg

Lot 364
A late 17th/early 18th century elm chest; the figured top opening to reveal iron strap hinges and blacksmith made iron escutcheon block plate, incised front panel (61cm wide x 31cm deep)Condition Report: It is noted that this item has been re-polished at some stage and then elm top is of a very nice figuring although it does have some dark burn marks to the top. There is evidence of historic wood worm although this is not live, also in the Auctioneer's opinion the moulded plinth base is a later edition, the original ring hinges have been replaced probably in the 18th century with blacksmith made strap hinges. The interior looks reasonable although the original lock is no longer there. The batons to the underside of the lid also look to have been replaced. The underside looks good and the back is 'dry and untouched' as it should do. The lid also has a couple of minor original cracks and been repaired to the underside when a crack runs the full length. In conclusion - the restorations have been done by a competent restorer and looks attractive with good colour.
