A rare Laqabi ware pottery dish Syria, 13th Centuryof shallow form with short slightly inverted sides and flattened everted rim, incised and decorated in cobalt blue on a white ground with a sphinx surrounded by a lion, a hare, a bird and a palmette, the rim with abstract vegetal motifs, remains of collection label to base 35.8 cm. diam.Footnotes:ProvenanceMillea Bros. Ltd., Boonton, U.S., Asian & Islamic Art, December 11 2014, lot 319.Formerly in a private US collection, reputedly acquired in the 1950's.This is a very rare example of a type of pottery which was historically believed to have come from Persia, but it is now clear from the manner of the incising and colours that it was made in Syria. The technique is related to that used in Tell Minis and Raqqa pottery of the same period. Sherds and a waster of a similar ware have been found in Egypt so it is possible that the type originated there before production moved to Syria. For an example of a sherd found at Fustat in Egpyt, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, see Arthur Lane, Early Islamic Pottery, London, 1947, pl. 40b.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 239

A gem-set gold forehead pendant (chand-tikka), a gem-set gold mirrored roundel and a pearl-mounted gold pendant from the collection of Maharani Jindan Kaur (1817-63), wife of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, and latterly in the possession of her granddaughter Princess Bamba Sutherland (1869-1957) Punjab, probably Lahore, first half of the 19th Centurythe tikka in the form of a crescent set with rubies and white sapphires, decorated to the sides in red and white enamel with chevron motifs, seed pearl fringe; the roundel with central mirror surrounded by openwork foliate motifs set with diamonds and emeralds, later mounted as a brooch; the pendant of filigree gold with seed pearl fringe the roundel 3.3 cm. diam.(3)Footnotes:ProvenanceMaharani Jindan Kaur (1817-63), wife of Maharajah Ranjit Singh (1780-1839).Princess Bamba Sutherland (1869-1957), gifted by her father HH Maharajah Duleep Singh, later given by the Princess to her life-long personal companion and employee Mrs Dora Crowe of Hampton House, Blo' Norton, Norfolk. Private UK collection, acquired from Mrs. Oriel Sutherland, daughter of Mrs. Dora Crowe. The mirror plaque had, according to Princess Bamba, once been part of Maharajah Ranjit Singh's horse trappings.These three items were likely to have been within the casket of jewels handed back to Maharani Jindan Kaur (1817-1863) by the British authorities when she agreed to live in London with her son, who she was reunited with in Calcutta in 1861. Duleep Singh had not only negotiated a £3,000-a-year pension for his mother but also the safe return of over 600 pieces of her personal jewellery that had been impounded by the British authorities at Benares when she fled to Nepal. In the UK, John Login expedited the passage of her jewels through customs and Lady Login was present when Jind Kaur was finally reunited with them in London: 'Her jewels had at the moment arrived from the Custom House, and so delighted was she at the sight, that she forthwith decorated herself, and her attendants, with an assortment of the most wonderful necklaces and earrings, strings of lovely pearls and emeralds being arranged, in graceful concession to English fashion...' (Lady Lena Campbell Login, John Login and Duleep Singh, London 1890, p 213).These important personal royal effects of the late Maharani were dispersed after her death by her son and grandchildren, either through auction salerooms or by being gifted away. Two decades after her death, when Maharaja Duleep Singh lost his battle against the India Office over the thorny issue of his financial allowances, he decided to auction off some of his possessions in order to raise £20,000 with a view to relocating to India where he could live as a person of importance. He stripped his stately home at Elveden of some choice valuables – including 25,000 ounces of chased silver gilt, rare Indian carpets, Indian shawls, embroideries and a casket of jewels (though 'no old family jewels' according to the press, The Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Review, London, September 1863, p 378) – and packed them up to be auctioned by Messrs Phillips, Son & Neale of New Bond Street. A sympathetic editorial in The Times (20 July 1883) noted how 'news of His Highness being compelled to sell his jewels and other valuables will excite a deep feeling of sympathy among all who are acquainted with the history of the 'Lion of the Punjab'.' The following year, his embittered relations with the British Government compelled him be ransack the contents of Elveden to provide the finances needed to resettle in Punjab with his family. From 27 April to 5 May 1886, while the Maharaja was detained at Aden as he attempted to gain onward passage to India, the auction only realised a fraction of the expected value of the items, forcing Duleep Singh to empty his Coutts safety-deposit box of all his most valuable jewels. When he failed to gain the support of the Russians, Duleep Singh decided to settle in Paris. In 1890, he was forced to sell what remained of the family jewels in his possession to pay for both his own accommodation and that of his estranged second wife, Ada, who moved into an expensive villa situated in an exclusive tree-lined suburb of Paris. Prince Victor Duleep Singh, the maharaja's eldest son, sold part of his inheritance in order to pay off his considerable debts. On 19 June 1899, Messrs Christie Manson & Woods sold 114 lots from Victor's collection in their London sales room including Indian gold jewellery 'formerly the property of the late Maharajahs Duleep Singh and Runjeet Singh of Lahore' according to The Daily Telegraph (20 June 1899, p. 9). Of the riches snapped up at the well-attended auction, which realised nearly £3,000, The Morning Post gave the following details of the best prices achieved, including a lavish horse's head ornament: a gold forehead ornament with diamonds, and ruby drops, from Dholepore, £35; a breast ornament of gold, set with stones and pearls, from Kangra, £46; pair of forehead ornaments, of crescent form, from Delhi, £41; pair of gold armlets, Lucknow, £35; a gold girdle centre set with stones, Delhi, £44; a large ornament for horse's head, of gold, enamelled, from Punjaub, and part of the State harness of Runjeet Singh, £44;... a massive gold horse frontlet, thickly studded with emeralds and rubies, Delhi, £210.... (The Morning Post, 20 June 1899, p 3). Given that Prince Victor's share of the family jewels included a part of the state harness of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, it is perhaps not surprising that another important piece of equestrian jewellery was preserved by Duleep Singh's eldest daughter, Princess Bamba Sutherland (1869-1957).In 1897, Princess Bamba and her two sisters, Princesses Sophia and Catherine, moved to the Norfolk village of Old Buckenham, where they lived near another brother, Prince Frederick. When he sold his house in 1906 and shifted to Blo' Norton, his sisters followed suit. In 1935, the princesses shifted from Blo' Norton Hall to Hampton House at Blo' Norton. When the lease came to an end in 1935, Princess Sophia installed a married couple Dora and Cyril Crowe (Cyril had been a childhood-friend of Frederick's), with their baby son Cyril Junior, at Hampton House to attend upon the princesses whenever they stayed there. When Sophia died in 1948, Bamba became the last surviving member of Duleep Singh's family from his first marriage. Bamba took up residence at Hilden Hall as well as the management of Hampton House. Her relationship with the Crowes developed in terms of mutual respect and affection. While Cyril Jr had been a great favourite with Sophia, his sister Oriel, who was eight years younger, was much loved by Bamba. In later life, the young girl would recall how 'Princess Bamba retained her sense of humour, and as an old lady she would smile, wrinkle her nose, and giggle like a little girl' (Peter Bance, Sovereign, Squire and Rebel: Maharajah Duleep Singh, London 2009, p 160).In 1953, Bamba decided to give Hampton House to the Crowes as she planned to return to Lahore (she had visited Punjab's capital in 1941 but was forced to remain there for five years following the outbreak of the Second World War). She died in her family's ancestral home in 1957. According to Oriel Crowe's (later Sutherland) letter of provenance accompanying this group, Princess Bamba gifted these items of jewellery to her mother, Mrs Dora Crowe, before she left England on her final journey to Lahore. Bamba had told Mrs Crowe that the circular stoned gold and mirrored broach was formerly part of Maharaja Duleep Singh's horse harness. As such, they represent a remarkable link back to one of the richest treasuries in the world.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Raja Hira Singh seated in a pavilion with his mistress and a hunting dog Lahore, school of Purkhu, circa 1835gouache, gold and silver on paper, in a painted oval, floral cornerpieces, dark blue inner border 250 x 200 mm.Footnotes:This painting appears to be one of a series that show court gatherings called by Maharaja Ranjit Singh (in the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, Amritsar, acc. no. 16, published in B. N. Goswamy, Piety and Splendour: Sikh Heritage in Art, 2000, plate 101) and Maharaja Sher Singh (in University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, acc. no. 1998.42.208, unpublished ). Though not identified with an inscription, the nobleman who dominates this intimate scene bears a close resemblance to Raja Hira Singh as captured in a portrait by Emily Eden in 1838.Hira Singh, the son of the Lahore Court's chief minister Raja Dhian Singh, was regarded by European commentators as Maharaja Ranjit Singh's favourite. Born in 1816, he was given the title 'raja' in 1828 at the age of just twelve. A few years later he was proclaimed farzand-i khas or 'favoured son', and had the rare privilege of being allowed to be seated in the Maharajah's presence, unlike his father who remained standing. During the civil war that erupted following Ranjit Singh's death, Hira Singh assumed the office of his murdered father in Maharaja Duleep Singh's government. After just a year, a resentful army brutally murdered him for his manifold injustices.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A rare and large panoramic watercolour view of the Golden Temple and the city of Amritsar, 19th Century attributed to Cyril Wiseman Herbert (British, 1847-1882)watercolour on paper, signed C. Herbert and inscribed Ghrant Temple/Sacred Tank/Umritsar lower left 58.5 x 100 cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceFormerly in a private Scottish collection.Cyril Wiseman Herbert was the son of another Royal Academician, John Rogers Herbert. He exhibited five works at the RA between 1870 and 1875, painting mostly landscapes, often of Italy, which he visited in 1868.We have good reason to suppose that this painting is the largest depiction of the Golden Temple in watercolour to have come on the market. To the right of the view is the Jhanda Bunga, named after the two tall standards (jhandas) seen here, which were re-erected in 1841. On the left are the two minarets of the residence of Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, a Sikh leader of the 18th Century.The second Guru, Angad Dev, discovered the site in the 16th Century, when it was simply a stretch of water in the midst of forest. His successor, Amar Das, built a hut beside it for contemplation. Ram Das, the fourth Guru, bought the pool and the land around it. But it was the fifth Guru, Arjun Dev (1581-1606), who cemented its importance as a place of pilgrimage but also as a focus for the permanence of the religion. The foundation stone of the Harmandir (the Golden Temple) was laid in 1588, and the formalising of the pool had been completed in 1577. The Harmandir was destroyed three times between 1757 and 1764 when Northern India was under Mughal control, but thereafter the area was protected and during the height of Sikh power under Maharajah Ranjit Singh the Harmandir was embellished and expanded.For a survey of the history of the Harmandir, see Patwant Singh, 'The Golden Temple', in S. Stronge (ed.), The Arts of the Sikh Kingdoms, London 1999, pp. 46-59. Singh's account ends:'To stand on the terrace outside the Shish Mahal, surrounded by the golden domes and kiosks, is to revel in the glory of this joyous tribute to the Gurus. If their vision, faith and sacrifices has inspired their disciples to feats of valour, then here was the grateful offering of the disciples to the source of their inspiration. As the golden silhouettes of these domes and kiosks emerge in the early morning light and glow throughout the day in the intensity of the Panjab sun, before changing colour in the fading light at dusk, they are an unforgettable sight for the thousands who come daily to worship at the Darbar Sahib. When they step into the waters of the holy pool, and see the Harmandir's shimmering reflection, Sikhs feel as if they have been touched by the sacred'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He taught in various schools (madrasas) in Amasya and Bursa, and was for a while tutor to Prince Ahmed. He was appointed head teacher of the madrasa built by Sultan Selim I (reg.1512-20) next to Ayasofya in Constantinople, and then in the Semaniye madrasa in the same city. He died in AH 940/AD 1533-34, and was buried in Eyup. For a biography of the author, see A.

A Sikh woman, after a photograph Punjab, late 19th/early 20th Centurywatercolour on paper 193 x 252 mm.Footnotes:This rare study of a Sikh woman appears to be based closely on both a sepia albumen print of the 1870s (inscribed Sikh woman), and a pair of coloured photographic postcards, published in the first decade of the 20th Century by the prolific studio of D. A. Ahuja of Rangoon, Burma. The firm's eponymous founder may well have migrated from Punjab, as his series also included images of the Golden Temple of Amritsar. The two postcards depicted the woman 'before marriage' (standing, as here, though not carrying a fan as in the present work), and 'after marriage' (sitting). For the original photograph and a discussion of the various images, see Davinder Toor, In Pursuit of Empire: Treasures from the Toor Collection of Sikh Art, 2018, p. 279.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A collection of photographs from the collection of Major Arthur Wallace Dunlop (1866-1937), 23rd Sikh Pioneers India, late 19th Centurycomprising twelve photographs including a seated portrait of Arthur Wallace Dunlop with bearers; parade scenes; Sikh regimental photographs; a shikar in Kashmir; a group of British officers; and a group of British civilians 29.3 x 19 cm.(12)Footnotes:ProvenanceMajor Arthur Wallace Dunlop, 23rd Sikh Pioneers (1866-1937).The 23rd Sikh Pioneers can trace their origins back to 1857, when they were known as the 15th Regiment of Punjab Infantry. Their battle honours include the Battles of Taku Forts (1858 and 1860), the Battle of Palikao in the Second Opium War, the 1868 Expedition to Abyssinia and the battles of Peiwar Kotal and Charasiab during the Second Afghan War in 1878. Shortly after being promoted to Major, Alfred Wallace Dunlop, along with the 23rd Sikh Pioneers, took part in the British Exhibition to Tibet, and was present at the Massacre at Chumik Shenko, where he was wounded in the front line (see Charles Allen, Duel in the Snows, 2004, Chapter 6). This group of photographs from his collection comprises a number of rare regimental group portraits depicting some highly decorated British and Sikh officers. One soldier wears the Indian Order of Merit, a gallantry medal available to native soldiers between 1837-1907 prior to the introduction of the Distinguished Service Medal and the Victoria Cross being made available to Indian soldiers in 1911. Two other soldiers wear the Order of British India. One rare group photograph depicts officers from numerous Sikh regiments beneath trees. Another group photograph which includes a dog is published in George Macmunn, The History of the Sikh Pioneers (23rd, 32nd, 34th), London, 1933.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A rare painting depicting the child Guru Har Krishan conversing with a hill rajah, with attendants standing by North India or Punjab, early 19th Centurygouache and gold on paper, red and gold borders, inscribed in nasta'liq verso 308 x 220 mm.Footnotes:ProvenanceFormerly in the possession of Major-General Sir Dashwood Strettell (1881-1958), Indian Army.The inscription on the reverse reads: tasvirat-e rang-dar varaq, 'coloured images [...] folios'. The number of folios (presumably from an album) are given in raqam, but this is not clearly written.Depictions of the eighth Sikh Guru, Har Krishan, who was Guru between 1661 and 1664, are rare. He is normally identified with the curl of hair falling down his cheek, as seen here, denoting his youth. The female attendant holding the morchal directly over him (rather than merely behind him, as with depictions of mere noblemen, is another indication of his status, and draws an explicit contrast with the larger hill rajah seated opposite. For another depiction of the Guru, with the distinctive curled lock of hair, and a very similar gold jama and robe, see Davinder Toor, In Pursuit of Empire: Treasures from the Toor Collection of Sikh Art, 2018, pp. 10-13; and W.

Medieval Pilgrims Badge.Circa 15th century AD. Copper-alloy, 2.21 grams. 23.27 mm. An open-work pilgrims badge depicting St Roche or Rocco, a pilgrim who carries a staff and is accompanied by a dog jumping to his right and an angel representing a supplicant to his left. The saint is robed and bareheaded with a circular disc (halo) behind. He lifts his robe to reveal his right leg where he suffers from a wound. The reverse of the badge flat and there is the remains of a wire attachment loop in the centre.St. Roche is the patron saint of dogs and accused people and was often evoked against the plague. According to tradition he was expelled from the town of Piacenza in Italy after falling ill and upon finding shelter in the wood a local nobleman's dog tended to his wounds and brought him bread.Ref: A similar, but incomplete pilgrim badge, has been recorded from Dordrecht in the Netherlands (van Beuningen and Koldeweij 1993, 1990, no. 327).

Medieval Cinque Port Heraldic Mount. Circa, 12th - 14th century AD. Copper-alloy, 13.40 grams. 36.99 mm. A rare medieval heraldic mount displaying the arms of the Cinque Port at Romney in Kent. The round mount displays the dexter halves of the three lions of England with the tail halves being the sterns of wooden ships. Vertically divided in two halves with enamel, right being red for England and left blue (Azure) representing the sea.Cinque Ports: Prior to the 15th Century, England had no permanent navy to defend it from sea-borne aggression. Instead five ports in the South East - the region most vulnerable to invasion - contracted with the Crown to provide a defensive fleet when required. King Edward the Confessor had contracted the five most important Channel ports of that day to provide ships and men “for the service of the monarch” and although this was frequently as a “cross-Channel ferry service”, it was not exclusively so. Under the Norman kings this became the essential means of keeping the two halves of their realm together, but after the loss of Normandy in 1205, their ships (the fore-runners of the Royal Navy) suddenly became England’s first line of defence against the French.These ports – Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney and Hythe – became known as the Cinque Ports (from the French word five, but always pronounced ‘sink’ not ‘sank’). They were granted many freedoms (for example from militia service, from market and port tolls) and privileges, the most prized being the right to carry the canopy over the King at the Coronation and the very profitable, the running of the international Herring Fair on Yarmouth strand.The earliest charter still existing dates from 1278. However, there may have existed charters granted by sovereigns to some - or all - of the Cinque Ports going back to the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-66).The towns of Winchelsea and Rye were added tot he five original Cinque Ports  - probably prior to 1210 - and to these were later added corporate and non-corporate members (or limbs), being other smaller ports. The heyday of the Cinque Ports was in medieval times when they provided a vital navy for the protection of the realm. Today, the Cinque Ports, and their charters, still exist. This Confederation of Cinque Ports (cinque is the French for five) was formed in the early 11th century. Its ‘head of state’ was the Lord Warden. The founding Members (‘head ports') were Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich.

Hayling Wreath gold quarter stater attributed to the Belgae of Hampshire. An excessively rare type with only two others known (both plated), this being the first recorded example in gold. Circa 50BC-20BC. Obv. Cruciform motif around a central rosette, leaf motif in each angle. Rev. Horse right with beaded mane, floral motif in front. 10mm, 0.92g.ABC 812; VA -; BMC -Found near Portsmouth, Hampshire and recorded with the Celtic Coin Index CCI. 20.0614Dr John Sills (pers. comm.) An interesting and important coin, not just for being the first non-plated Hayling Wreath Right quarter that I'm aware of. It's a definite overstrike as you say, probably over a Danebury Scrolls quarter, my nos 273 and 274. Although I didn't mention it the Scrolls Right quarter illustrated, no. 274, is an overstrike, hence the ladder mane at the base of the horse's neck, and the second known coin, Chris Rudd 172, lot 9, appears to be overstruck on the same undertype. On your coin the back-to-back crescents near the edge on the obverse, not part of the Haying Wreath design, match part of the swirling curls and fronds design on the Danebury Scrolls Right type, and the clinching feature is part of a frond a bit further round, which also shouldn't be there but is in the right place to be one of the fronds on the Scrolls obverse. There are traces of the undertype on the reverse as well, notably the pellet on the horse's breast.Your coin is significantly lighter than the Danebury Scrolls quarters, which suggests that it was filed to reduce the weight before being restruck as a Hayling Wreath type. Although there are several overstrikes now known in the southern region, yours is the first one where the undertype can be recognised with reasonable certainty. It shows beyond doubt that the Hayling Wreath issues are later than the Danebury Scrolls fractions, which is useful to know - these small local issues can be very difficult to sequence. It also gives support what had previously only been suspected, which is that one reason for striking a new type over an old one in this part of the country was to make a profit for the mint by filing gold off earlier coins. No doubt there were other reasons as well, chiefly the wish for a small group to establish its own identity by issuing coins, but profit can now be shown to have been one of the motives.

Comment(s): This rare letterpress print was published as part of the Warhol portfolio of eight prints which was included in the publication/portfolio "Artists & Photographs" published by Multiples, Inc., New York City, in association with Colorcraft Inc., NYC in 1970. The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.
