Late 1st millennium BC. A gold 'Sarmatian Animal Style' disc mount with band of inset turquoise triangular inserts to the rim; a goddess, possibly Artemis, riding sidesaddle on the back of a leocampus with its fish-tail raised and mouth gaping, piriform cell before the face; four loops to the reverse.The term 'Sarmatian Animal Style' first suggested by Prof. M. Rostovtzeff in 1920’s to make it distinct from the well-known Scythian Animal Style. Rostovtzeff described “Sarmatians” as new Iranian-speaking people, who came to the Northern Black Sea region from the east, apparently from the northern boundaries of ancient Bactria, and subdued the Scythians. The most distinctive feature of the style is the polychromy produced by the colour inlays. The majority of depicted figures are fantastic beasts of prey with bodies constructed from different parts of animals, usually shown as symbolic antagonists, representing different parts of the universe; also cf. 'Mistress of Animals' plaque in Hampe, R. and Simon, E., The Birth of Greek Art. From the Mycenaean to the Archaic Period, Fribourg, 1981, pl.354, for type. 74.41 grams, 64mm (2 1/2"). Property of a London gentleman; previously acquired on the UK art market in the 1990s; accompanied by an independent specialist report and valuation by graduate gemmologist and jewellery expert Anna Rogers, GIA GG, BA, Gem-A, ref. no.163592/1/9/2020; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.163592-10059. Literature The leocampus was a mythical beast with the foreparts of a lion and the tail of a fish. It appears infrequently but is represented on a mosaic at the Baths of Neptune, Ostia, Italy. Artemis was the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the moon, and chastity. Her worship was widespread in Greece and in the colonies such as Ephesus in modern Turkey. In Greek Archaic art she appears as Potnia Theron ('Mistress of the Animals'), a winged goddess holding beasts in her hands, such as a stag, eagle or lion. Fine condition.

Lot 370
23rd-20th century BC. A mixed group of five bronze seals, all accompanied by typed and signed notes by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state:(T-682) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 56 x 56 x 18mm) This is round, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design, which is both compartmented and open-work, consists of a central quadrate cross containing a circle set in a circle, with is the inside of a circular band divided into 14 roughly oblong compartments. This in turn is surrounded by a plain outer band. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has been cleaned and conserved, and save for the usual denting and slight damage to the outer rim, it is in very good condition.'; (T-244) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 64 x 63 x 20mm. This is round with flat face and flat back, on which a handle of inverted V-shape is mounted. The design consists of a compartmented and open-work rosette of eight petals, reaching from an inner circle to an outer plain band. The petals are marked on the back with notched edges. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. The metal has been conserved and is in good condition, and the piece generally is well preserved, only the outer rim being a little worn and damaged.'; (T-161) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 51 x 49 x 12mm. This has the shape of an eight-pointed star, with flat engraved face, and back shaped and decorated rising to a handle like twined cord. The decoration on the back makes the points each look like a leaf or similar thing. The design on the face shows as the main item a snake in zig-zag pose with other items around it: three trees(?), two things with shape of arrow-heads, a crescent, and an uncertain depiction. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in very good condition and offers a very rare design.'; (D-50) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 52.5 x 52.5 x 2mm.

This is square, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a loop handle of inverted V-shape. The design is compartmented, but not open-work. It consists of a simple cross creating four smaller squares, each of which is divided into three oblongs in such a way that the oblongs run in opposite directions in adjacent squares. this comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a rare design in metal, and in very good state of preservation.' 266 grams, 53-64mm (2-2 1/2"). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; collection numbers D-50, T-161, T-244, T-682, R-213 academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s.

Lot 381
3rd-2nd century BC. An iron sword with wide double-edged blade, raised middle ridge to both sides and rounded tip, long tang and conical pommel with later antennae and guard. See Pleiner, R., The Celtic sword, Oxford, 1993; Allen, S., Celtic Warrior 300 BC-AD 100, Oxford, 2001; for a similar specimen see a sword from Pottenbrunn in Fischer, T., Die Kelten in Donauraum und in den Ostalpen in vorrömischer Zeit, in Noricum Orbis Provinciarum Wien,1999, pp.6-14, p.8, fig.7. 522 grams, 75.5cm (29 3/4"). From a 1980s collection, acquired by the vendor’s family; thence by descent; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. The sword was the main weapon of the Celtic warrior, together with the spear. Diodorus tell us that the swords were worn by the Celts on their right side, hanging from a belt tied around the waist, and were not carried hanging from a baldric over the shoulder like the Greeks or the Etruscans had (V, 30, 3"). He describes (V, 29 and 30) the fighting techniques of the Celts (combat chariot) and lists all the weapons used: shields as tall as a man which exhibit embossed figures of animals in rolled brass with both decorative and protective function; brass helmets with high crests, horns, or with figures of birds and quadrupeds to the top; iron ring mail armor; long swords hanging from the right side by means of iron and bronze chain; spears; javelins; war trumpets with hoarse sounds; gold or silver plated belts. Fine condition.
Lot 413
Mid 12th-mid 13th century AD. An iron double-edged long sword of Oakeshott Type Xa and Petersen Type X with pattern-welded blade, visible fullers, battle nicks to the cutting edges, tip absent; straight crossguard of Oakeshott style 1 with tapering bar, plain hilt and tea-cosy pommel of type B1. See Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Oslo, 1919; Oakeshott, E., The Sword in the Age of the Chivalry, London, 1964 (1994); Aleksi?, M., Mediaeval Swords from Southeastern Europe, materials from 12th to 15th century, Beograd, 2007; for a detailed survey of excavated early Medieval swords of this type, including many with inscribed blades, see Geibig A., Beiträge zur morphologischen Entwicklung des Schwertes im Mittelalter, Neumünster, 1991. 628 grams, 78.5cm (31"). From a 1980s collection, acquired by the vendor’s family; thence by descent; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. The sword is of the later and most usual of the two variants of Petersen type X (Petersen, 2019, fig.124 and R 509), with its lower, thicker and characteristic pommel, and with its wider lower guard that sometimes could reach a considerable length, but could also be quite short as in Petersen type M. The cross-section of the hilt was usually wide, with rounded ends, and not cut sharply across, which is otherwise usual with Petersen type M. The lower guard, in this typology, varied in length between 10.7cm to 17.7cm. The tang was usually very flat and broad, tapering sharply towards the pommel. The cross is narrower and longer than the more usual Viking kind—though the Vikings used it, calling it 'Gaddhjalt' (spike-hilt) because of its spike-like shape. Fine condition.
Lot 418
Early-mid 14th century AD. A Western long double-edged sword of Oakeshott Type XIIIb with elegant, broad blade, distinctively widening below the hilt, fuller extending halfway of the blade with inlaid maker's mark of the armourer formed as a Latin cross with forked vertical arm, evidence of battlefield use on the edges; wide crossguard and globular style R pommel with inlaid vertical lines. See Oakeshott, R.E., The Archaeology of the weapons, London, 1960; Oakeshott, E., Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 1991; Oakeshott, E., The sword in the Age of the Chivalry, Woodbridge, 1964 (1994); Oakeshott, E., Sword in hand, London, 2001; similar specimen from Sotheby's, London 1935, dated circa 1150 AD (Oakeshott, 2001, p.83); another well-preserved sword of this type in the collection of M. Charles Boissonnas in Geneva with narrower blade. 1.4 kg, 89cm (35"). From a 1980s collection, acquired by the vendor’s family; thence by descent; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. The Oakeshott Type XIIIb sword is a one-handed arming sword, designed to combat the rise of heavier armors used by foot-soldiers on the battlefields of the 13th and 14th centuries. The most notable in the English effigies are those on the brasses of the two Sir John D'Abernons (1277 and 1327, church at Stoke d'Abernon, Surrey, Sir John the Younger), Sir Robert de Septvans (1306), Sir? Fitzralph (1323) and Sir John de Creke (1326), as well as the effigies of an Astbury at Astbury in Cheshire (1300) and of de Montfort at Hitchendon, Bucks (c. 1290"). Primarily used by knights on horseback, a slash from one of these swords was devastatingly effective, tearing through ring mail armour and scattering foot-soldiers in its wake. Fine condition.
Lot 465
Mid-late 6th century AD. A crisply cast bronze radiate-headed brooch from Melton Mowbray, far from the area normally associated with this class of find; the headplate features strong zoning, with two series of triangular mouldings inside a row of pellets; seven knobs radiate from the outer edge, each set with a cabochon garnet; the bow shows a central zone with ring-and-dot decoration flanked by zones of moulded ladder-motif; the central zone of the footplate continues the ring-and-dot theme; outside this are the zones of triangular mouldings, with further bands of pellets outside; the base consists of a transverse band of triangular mouldings surmounted by two features which may be stylised birds' heads. See Hattatt, R., Ancient Brooches And Other Artefacts, A Fourth Selection of Brooches from the author's Collection, Oxbow Books, 1989, p.229, fig.110, Item 1706, for a very similar example; see MacGregor, A., and Bolick, E., A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections (Non-Ferrous Metals), British Archaeological Reports, British Series 230, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1993, p.148, 16.2, for a very similar example; see Pollington, S., Kerr, L., Hammond, B., Weyland's Work, Anglo-Saxon Art, Myth & Material Culture from the 4th to 7th Century, Anglo-Saxon Books, 2010, p.238, for a comparable brooch. Hammond, B., British Artefacts, Volume 1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, Witham, 2009, p.38, fig.1.1.4.4-c, where it is illustrated with a scale of 1:1; See Pollington, S., Kerr, L., Hammond, B., Weyland's Work, Anglo-Saxon Art, Myth & Material Culture from the 4th to 7th Century, Anglo-Saxon Books, 2010, plate 26, for this item. 24 grams, 10.3cm (3"). Found Melton Mowbray, Lincolnshire, UK; accompanied by a signed copy of British Artefacts, Volume 1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, where it is published on page 38. Brett Hammond wrote the following about English Radiate-Headed Brooches in his book published in 2009: 'Radiate-headed bow brooches are found in the south-east of England, mainly in Kent; they were originally a Gothic fashion copied by the Lombards and Franks, and then transferred to the court at Canterbury. In England, the brooches appear to date from c.525 to c.600. They occur with high-status female burials. There are occassional finds in England of Gothic bow brooches with lozenge-shaped feet, a type which springs from the same background design tradition but this does not appear to have been a common English design, and the finds were probably imported.' Very fine condition. A rare opportunity to acquire a published English Saxon brooch of a rare type.
