Lot 293

3rd century AD. A bronze 'female-type' cavalry sports helmet mask of Medusa typology, modelled with the features of Gorgon Medusa; voluminous wavy hair intertwined in serpent-like curls and with three buns arranged like horns on the top of the head, the hair with central parting at the front; the eyes, nostrils and mouth delicately pierced; two piercings to the lower rim for attachment of the connecting straps; a slot to the top through which a fastening turning-pin secured the inner mask.Cf. Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975, pls.359ff.; Garbsch, J., Römische Paraderustüngen, München, 1979; D'Amato, R., Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017, figs.225ff.578 grams, 27cm (10 1/2"). From an important East Anglian arms and armour collection; acquired from a Dutch private collection in the 1990s; previously in a Swiss family collection since before 1980; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10604-174115.The distinguishing features of this type were the division of the helmet into two parts on the ear line, and sometimes the removable central area of the mask covering the eyes and mouth. Among the large number of surviving Roman masks is a series which has been generically indicated by Robinson as 'female type' but more conveniently classified by A. Negin as Medusa mask helmets. A mask capable of being taken off at any time proves that this type of helmet could be used, not only during parades and other ceremonies, but also in combat. It is in battle that the use of masks depicting Medusa is most probable; in the heat of battle this image performed both of its functions – to protect the owner and to intimidate the enemy, with the face of the terrible Gorgon believed to be able to transform humans into stone. Masks of this type are well known from Aquincum (Austria) Madara-Shumen and Kalenik (Bulgaria), Krefeld-gellep and Weißenburg, (Germany"). One of the most beautiful specimens, also with horns on the head, is preserved and in the private collection of Plymouth, Providence Academy (Negin-D’Amato, 2017, fig.262"). A video of this lot is available to view at TimeLine Auctions website. Fine condition, restored.

Lot 294

3rd century AD. A bronze face-mask from a three-part sports helmet of Hedderneim or Worthing Type, Type G or H of Robinson classification; T-shaped opening with embossed edges, a band of embossed diagonal lines across the brow representing stylised hair, both cheeks with a radiating roundel and a lozengiform embossed panel to the chin, the lower edge extending to protect the throat; attachment holes for the fastening straps beneath the ears.Cf. Garbsch, J., Römische Paraderüstungen, München, 1978, item 53 (Frankfurt-Heddernheim helmet); Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975; Born, H., Junkelmann, M., Römische Kampf-und Turnierrüstungen, Band VI, Sammlung Axel Guttmann, Mainz, 1997; D'Amato R., Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017.212 grams, 20cm (8"). From an important East Anglian arms and armour collection; acquired from a Dutch private collection in the 1990s; previously in a Swiss family collection since before 1980; accompanied by an archaeological expertise of military specialist Dr Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10677-175128.The face-mask is part of a three-part helmet composed of a back and face-piece with a removable central area for the inner mask, which covered the wearer's eyes, nose and mouth. More precisely, it belongs to the group of helmets with a face cut-out (with and without mask) whose subtypes are the Pfrondorf, Heddernheim and Worthing types (D’Amato-Negin, 2017, pp.170,174, figs.177"). Only the face mask survives here, with its typical T-shaped opening. Although the face-guard is part of a three-part helmet comprising bowl, face-guard and mask, there is no evidence that this helmet or all of the helmets of this category were always equipped with a small inner face. The embossing of the cheek-pieces with a round spiral shows a symbol clearly connected with the worship of the sun. The solar cult was widely practiced by soldiers during the 3rd century, especially after the advent of the Severan Dynasty and the infamous kingdom of the Emperor Elagabalus. The symbol on the cheek-guard of our helmet was even adopted by a Late Roman Legion, the Constantini Dafnenses. Fine condition, some restoration.

A left cheek-guard (buccula) from a possible pseudo-attic cavalry helmet of Weiler type, with embossed ears and eagle, framed by an edge decorated with X-shaped pattern and shells at the upper and lower corner, multiple hinge system on the upper edge for attachment to the bowl.See D'Amato, R., Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017, fig.274, helmet cheek piece from Gradistea Muncelului, Romania.90 grams, 17cm (6 3/4"). From the collection of a Surrey gentleman; acquired 1970-1980; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10680-174978.The type of Pseudo-Attic helmet was furnished with an attached fronton or diadema, riveted at the sides and not always removable, as it is also attested in the so-called pseudo-Attic type, well exemplified by splendid cavalry specimens from Weiler, The bucculae, clasped at the level of the diadema’s volutes, were long and wide at cheek height, often embossed with imperial eagles, winged victories and other divine protective elements.

Significant innovations in Greek jewellery can be traced even earlier to the time of Philip II of Macedon (r. 360/359–336 BC), father of Alexander the Great. Applications in the shape of hearts divided in half, are found for example in the Nomad tombs of Kushan, more specifically in Tillya Tepe, from the second quarter of the 1st century AD (Hiebert, Cambon, 2011, p.257, fig.164"). Emeralds and pearls came in fashion and were widely used in Ptolemaic Egypt, probably obtained from the Eastern Desert and the Persian Gulf. [36] Very fine condition.

11th-12th century AD. A 'pair' of large carved stone animal figures comprising: a lion standing on a rectangular D-section base; the animal's back is curved, its haunches rounded, head held erect and broad mane extending from the neck onto the shoulders and chest; a large guardian male bear statue modelled standing on an integral domed rectangular base; the animal has a stocky frame and shoulders, strong forepaws, rounded haunches and genitals, large head with conical muzzle and incised nostrils; both figures from the Provence region of southern France.See Eusebio, R. M., La voce delle cattedrali, Bari, 2010, for discussion.141.4 kg total, 67-80cm (26 1/2 - 31 1/2"). Ex central London gallery; previously with Jean-Emmanuel Prunier, 15 April 2012, lot 64; formerly in the Bruneton collection, France; accompanied by an archaeological report by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato for the lion.The lion offered here was most likely positioned at the entrance of a church, or served as an isolated guardian of the borders of some feudal possession. The lion was an undisputed symbol of strength, symbolising the strength that monitored sacred spaces. According to medieval bestiaries, the lion was also a symbol of Christ. From the 4th century AD, the vision of Ezekiel and John's Apocalypse assigned the lion a stable place in the iconography of the tetramorph (the Four Living Beings in front of God) to represent the evangelist Mark next to the calf (Luke), the Angel (Matthew) and the eagle (John"). They are the four winged cherubs singing the triumphal hymn, exclaiming, proclaiming, and saying: 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord Sabaoth'. The oldest representations date back to the 5th century AD and are found in the mosaics of the baptistery of Naples and in the apse of S. Prudenziana in Rome. The tetramorph was a favourite subject in 12th century medieval art for the decoration of the main portals of the great churches and cathedrals.

Circa 1520 AD. A very large painted glass panel depicting the martyrdom scene of the stoning of Saint Stephen outside the city walls set in a leaded wooden frame; the Saint is represented standing with the monastic tonsure, dressed like a Franciscan Deacon; two of his tormentors, with a decidedly Germanic frown, stone him to death, while a third tormentor, sword in hand and cap on the ground, contemplates the scene while drinking from a narrow goblet.Cf. Koopmans, R., ‘Early Sixteenth-Century Stained Glass at St. Michael-le-Belfrey and the commemoration of Thomas Becket in Late Medieval York’ in Speculum, vol.89, no4, October 2014, pp.1040-1100, figs.12ff.8.9 kg, 105 x 68.5cm (41 1/2 x 27"). Ex central London gallery; previously with Hotel des Ventes de Metz, 16 February 2020, lot 344.The martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian to suffer death for his religious beliefs, is recounted in Acts 7 whereby the young teacher in the Christian community of Jerusalem was sentenced to death by stoning. The Germanic aspect of his tormentors and their dresses evoke the ferocious German mercenaries of the Emperor Charles V, who in 1527 sacked horribly the city of Rome, killing thousand of civilians and ecclesiastics.

2nd-3rd century AD. A substantial bronze figurine, finely modelled as the god Mars, bearded and clothed in a military tunic and muscled cuirass; the right arm raised and the left draped with a military cloak, held down at the side; the now lost right hand may have once held a spear and the left hand was originally placed upon a circular shield; wearing a tipped-back Corinthian helmet with a large crest; detailed facial features, the eyes forming pointed ovals with distinct pupils, the nose flat and the lips full; the cloak wrapped around the body with deeply moulded folds; the muscled cuirass decorated with opposed gryphons, fitted with shoulder clasps and worn over a padded under-armour garment (subarmalis) from which finely moulded detailed lappets (pteryges) hang, at the waist a double row of hanging cymation; below the cuirass a short, vertically segmented kilt over the skirt (????) of the tunic; the legs dressed in greaves with moulded lacing to the back; the underside of the feet with remains of pins which may have held the figurine to a base.See Robinson, R., The Armour of the imperial Rome, New York, 1975; D'Amato, R. and Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, fig.312, p.223; Durham, E., Depicting the Gods: Metal Figurines in Roman Britain, Internet Archaeology, 2012.Searcher and Treasure Hunting magazines, the articles appearing in early 2020.230 grams, 12.6cm (5"). Found by Geoffrey Harfleet with the use of a metal detector on Thursday 26th December 2019, near Oxshott, Elmbridge, Surrey, UK; this is a find of note and has been designated of national importance by the Portable Antiquities Scheme; accompanied by a copy of PAS report number SUR-1C1A4E and a copy of an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato.According to Durham (2012), this mature, bearded style is a less common depiction of this deity, paralleled by examples from Bury St Edmunds (in Ipswich museum, ISPMG 1936-244.10) and Wycomb in Gloucestershire. The Lares were guardian deities in ancient Roman religion; they protected worshippers and affected the outcome of events in their own location. The true altar of the Lares was the domestic fireplace, centre of the Roman domus, and their temple the Atrium. Among the statuettes of gods Mars Gradivus was one of the most appreciated, especially in the families of military commanders in provinces such as Britannia. The statuette had its prototype in the famous statue of Mars from the Forum of Nerva, of late 1st century AD, today at the Capitoline Museum in Rome, based on a Greek original from the 4th century BC. A video of this lot is available to view at TimeLine Auctions website. Fine condition, light abrasion from the burial conditions but otherwise the figurine is well preserved.

2nd-3rd century AD. A group of fittings from a cornu, a military musical instrument, comprising: a substantial bronze conical socket with long iron finial, lateral bows for fastening, one in the form of a female panther and the other in the shape of a blossom; a bronze finial with three lugs which would have been placed at the lower end.See Franken, N., Die antiken Bronzen im römisch-germanischen Museum Köln, Kölner Jahrbuch 29, 1996, 132f; see Beutler, F., Farka, C., Gugl, C., Humer, F., Kremer, G., ed., Der Adler Roms, Carnuntum und die Armee der Caesaren, Bad Voslau, 2017, pp.320-323, for similar pieces; similar cornu fittings with dolphins in place of the panther, in the Museum of Eskisehir (Doryleum) in Turkey; for the use of the cornu within Roman army see D’Amato, R., Roman Standards and Standard bearers, Volume I, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2018.880 grams total, 7.2-25cm (3 - 10"). Property of an Austrian private collector; formerly with Hermann Historica, Munich, Auction 64, lot 3168, listed as a standard finial; previously owned by Harry Huttel, 1994; before that in a private collection, Vienna, 1980s; accompanied by with copies of the relevant Hermann Historica catalogue pages, and by a report by Roman military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10572-172368.Although previously classified as a standard finial, these magnificent fragments belong to a military trumpet, the cornu, forming the upper and lower extremities of the arm used for holding the instrument. The cornu usually consisted of a number of elements: a bell, seven tubular parts, two connecting pieces for the carrying bar (the ornamented extremities preserved here) and even the lateral spreader for stiffening or adjusting the lower segments. Besides the finds from the gladiator barracks in Pompeii, only one other complete preserved example is known, held in a private collection. The individual elements were made of different metal alloys (brass, gunmetal and tin-bronze), which meant that the instrument would have had a multicoloured appearance.

1st-2nd century AD. A substantial ornamental silver armour phalera with gilt detailing, embossed face of Gorgon Medusa to the centre with detailed eyes, eyebrows and mouth, strong nasal ridge extending towards the forehead, furrowed brow with a pair of wings emerging from the curly hair framing the face, a pair of snakes knotted beneath the chin; wide edge with beaded rim and wavy pointillé decoration; accompanied by a discoid bronze sheet to which the fastening pins were attached to.Cf. Jahn, O., Die Lauersforter Phalerae, Bonn, 1860, taf.1; Maxfield, V.A., The military decorations of the Roman Army, Los Angeles, 1981; D’Amato, R., Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, figs.157, 254-255; D’Amato, R., Roman Standards & Standard-Bearers (1), 112BC-AD192, Oxford, 2018, p.54; D’Amato, R. & Negin, A., Roman decorated armour, London, 2019, p.150, fig.137.113 grams total, 8.8-12.5cm (3 1/2 - 5"). From the private collection of a London antiquarian; acquired from Coins and Antiquities, formerly known as D.J. Crowther Ltd, Mayfair, London, UK, in 1970; accompanied by an expertise by military specialist Dr Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10623-174245.Discoid military decorations usually depicted the heads of the gods, spirits of the underworld, birds and lions, Medusa being the most popular subject. Sets of phalerae, similar to those shown on monuments dedicated to Marcus Caelius, Quintus Sertorius Festus and Celer Allius, were found in Neuss, Lauersfort and Newstead. Our phalera finds parallel in similar examples from the magnificent Lauersfort set, echoing the decoration visible on the gravestone of centurion Caelius from Bonn, depicted with a corona civica on his head; the best-known silver military decorations of the early Imperial Age. The higher officers in the Roman army had the custom of wearing such rich suits of phalerae with the straps attached directly to leather garments or doublets, worn over their armour. One such example can be seen on the gravestone of the Aquilifer G. Musius (Jahn, 1860, taf.II; D’Amato, 2018, p.54), where the phalerae are worn over a leather structure like a doublet over the subarmalis. Wearing a double-padded armour under the doublet provided twice as much protection to the warrior and enhanced the phalerae worn over the doublet. These decorations were awarded in sets, commonly of nine, although the sources confirm that this was not an absolute rule. They were worn in a similar fashion to medals on the chest, attached to a leather harness of straps, which ran straight around and up and down the front of the chest, and continued over the shoulders and around the back where they were fastened with buckles (Maxfield, 1981, pp.92-93").
