Property of an Essex gentleman; acquired in the late 1970s. Brooches such as these were in widespread use throughout the Migration period in northern Germany, Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England.

Lot 363
9th-12th century AD. A parcel-gilt silver diadem or brow-band, penannular with holes at the rounded ends for closure; the outer face decorated with a finely engraved running knotwork pattern between borders; three gilded studs to the front. Cf. Jilina, N. V. Slavic and Old Russian Art of Jewelry and its Roots, St. Petersburg, 2006, p.179, fig.2; similar regular knotwork appears on the 8th century mounts from Whitby Abbey, Yorkshire, in Wilson, D.M. Anglo-Saxon Ornamental Metalwork 700-1100 in the British Museum, London, 1964, items, 106-8. 40 grams, 17cm (6 3/4"). Property of an American collector; acquired 1980-2000. This band probably held a cloth head scarf or covering in place and, according to the material, would have denoted social and marriage status. Head coverings were typically worn by women, though headbands were also worn by men of high social status. The majority for women were perhaps as simple as a knotted kerchief over the head, which was suggested by finds at the Oseberg ship burial. The Rígsþula (verse 2) says that even women of the lowest class wore a headdress. A number of different kinds of head-coverings for women are mentioned in the sagas, some of which are elaborate headdresses, which may have been worn like jewellery on special occasions. The Laxdæla saga (chapter 45) tells of a headdress given by Kjartan to his bride Hrefna as a wedding gift which had eight ounces of gold woven into the fabric. It has been suggested that the type of headdress worn served to distinguish married from unmarried women. Caps of cotton and wool have been found in archaeological contexts in Dublin, and a fine tasselled hood was found in the Orkney isles. Other materials were used, such as silk for the wealthy, of which examples have been found at York and Lincoln. Fine condition. Extremely rare.

Gavin Scott discussing this piece. J. Gavin Scott is the author of British Countermarks on Copper and Bronze Coins, Spink, 1975 and other works on the subject of countermarks applied to coins. Coin good fine; countermark good very fine. Rare.
Lot 365
9th-12th century AD. A gold bracelet with twisted shank extending to flat plates with scrolled finials, bands of punched pellets flanking a band of punched triangles with a pellet to each angle. 35 grams, 75mm (3"). Property of a European collector; acquired before 2000. Accompanied by a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Within Scandinavia, the two most common shapes for stamps to take were ring-stamps and triangles, often containing one or three pellets. Often, two triangles were placed end-on-end creating an hourglass shape. The stamped triangular decoration is found on a number of objects such as bracelets, rings, and a Thor's Hammer pendant from South Lopham, Norfolk. Such simple shapes were relatively easy to produce. In most cases, a punch was applied to the surface of the object soon after casting. To avoid a double impression, the punch had to be made in a single blow. Actual examples of punches used to create the ornament are rare, but one example comes from a late Viking-Age tool chest found at Mästermyr on Gotland. This is essentially a square iron rod, which originally had an hourglass shape on the striking face. A lead pad from the same tool chest seems to have been a testing piece for this stamp and others: it is covered on both sides with stamped hourglasses and rings. It would seem that it was not necessary to punch the silver or gold after casting. Sometimes, the ornament could be stamped into a beeswax model, and that model used to create a clay mould from which silver or gold objects could be cast. This is clearly demonstrated by a find of a Viking-Age clay mould which preserves stamped hourglass decoration from the harbour site of Fröjel, Gotland; this mould would have been used to cast decorated silver arm-rings. [A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] Very fine condition.
Lot 3709
Circa 1812 AD. Obv: profile bust with PATRON OF THE ROYAL LANCASTRIAN SYSTEM legend. Rev: Prince of Wales feathers with G(eorge) P(rince) R(egent) below and THE WISE SON OF A PIOUS FATHER legend. BHM i, 752. 7.16 grams. Joseph Lancaster (1778-1838) was the founder of the Lancasterian system of education. He opened a school at Borough Road, south London, in 1798 and divided it into small classes, each under a monitor; a group of these classes was supervised by a head monitor. In this way, and by using mechanical methods of learning, he could accommodate 1,000 boys. George III promised him his support in 1805. The King’s patronage and the consequent support given to Lancaster by his sons, the Prince Regent and the Dukes of Sussex and Kent, transformed the society into one of the nation’s most useful institutions. Before the government took an interest in education, it provided rudimentary schooling for hundreds of thousands of poor children. Very fine. Rare.
Lot 3740
Published 1911 AD. Coffey, G., Guide to the Collection of Irish Antiquities (Royal Irish Academy Collection) Anglo Iriish Coins, HMSO, Dublin, first edition; publisher's cloth. 185 grams, 22 x 14cm. (8 1/2 x 5 /12"). Ex libris Lord Stewartby (Ian Stewart"). [No Reserve] Fine condition. Rare.
Lot 378
9th-11th century AD. A gold pendant with flat bottom, flat-section wall and filigree handle, ornamented with granulation and filigree detailing. See Meaney, A. Anglo-Saxon Amulets and Curing Stones, Oxford, BAR British Series 96, 1981, p.166-168 for discussion of the type. 2.76 grams, 8.36mm (1/4"). Acquired on the German art market in the 1990s. Pendants in the form of miniature buckets have been found in a number of pagan Anglo-Saxon and Viking contexts and are generally made of bronze or iron, with gold examples being rare; three gold examples were found with the hoard from Hoen, Norway. Bronze bucket amulets have been found at Driffield in Yorkshire, and Vimose bog in Denmark, among other places. In form they represent wooden buckets bound with bronze or iron bands which have been found in Anglo-Saxon and Viking graves and are believed to have held mead or ale and were used to replenish the cups from which warriors drank. As amulets they probably represent the ecstatic power of alcoholic drink and the role of women as the dispensers of these precious beverages. [No Reserve] Extremely fine condition.
Lot 380
9th-10th century AD. A parcel-gilt silver plaque pendant with facing seated figure, probably the goddess Freya, modelled in the half-round; the hands raised to grip lateral ribbed strands of hair, the garment formed as two crossed bands on the chest, the knees prominent and feet placed together; emerging from each strand of hair a feline with curled tail, ribbed body, foreleg curled over the neck, notched fingers and triangular face with lappet and snubbed snout; loop above the head, three holes to the edges. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. 35 grams, 46mm (1 3/4"). Property of a German gentleman; acquired on the European art market in the 1990s. Accompanied by a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. The figure represents a seated female accompanied by two cats. In the Icelandic poem Gylfaginning (The Deceiving of Gylfi) Freya is said to be seated in her chariot drawn by two cats. Her hall in heaven is called Sessrumnir meaning 'with room for many seats'. She is also associated with a high-seat from which prophecy is made, similar to that of Odin. [A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] Very fine condition. Extremely rare.
Lot 381
10th-11th century AD. A mixed group of silver jewellery items comprising: a flat-section penannular finger ring with rounded ends, punched design of three scrolled arms; coiled finger ring of round-section rod with notch detailing; a bracelet with punched-point detailing to geometric motifs, ends coiled round the shank; a pectoral cross with naive Corpus Christi attached by loops to a substantial chain with 'ingot' finials. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. 312 grams total, chain: 76cm (30"). From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. [4, No Reserve] Very fine condition. Extremely rare.
Lot 400
11th century AD. A silver cross pendant comprising three balustered arms with central cruciform void, rectangular collar, wolf-head above with suspension loop formed as the open mouth of a wolf with ears turned back. Cf. similar silver pendant from Foss, Iceland, in Graham-Campbell, J. & Kidd, D. The Vikings, London, 1980, item 45. 1.42 grams, 24mm (1"). Property of a North European collector; acquired on the UK art market. The fusion of Christian and pagan religious motifs is typical of Iceland where the worship of the old gods continued into the 11th century. The Christian cross was used as a symbol of the new faith but the pendant also includes elements of pre-Christian ideas. [No Reserve] Very fine condition. Excessively rare.
Lot 406
10th-11th century AD. A silver stylus with an extended point and plaited handle formed from four rods wound over each other into a ring chain, the upper ends twisted into a loop; on the upper shaft below the divide is an illegible stamped mark comprising two or three characters, now partly abraded. 8.29 grams, 90mm (3 1/2").

Bronze bucket amulets have been found at Driffield in Yorkshire, and Vimose bog in Denmark, among other places. In form they represent wooden buckets bound with bronze or iron bands which have been found in Anglo-Saxon and Viking graves and are believed to have held mead or ale and were used to replenish the cups from which warriors drank.

Lot 442
3rd-5th century AD. A bronze mount of a standing male and a female, each with one hand extending across the body touching each other's genitals. For the gesture and design see Oldtidens Ansigt, Det kongelige Nordiske Oldskiftselska og Jysk Arkaeologist Selskab, 1990, p.134, 138. 2.01 grams, 26mm (1"). From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. A parallel to the style and pose of this 'couple' can be seen on several small bronzes inspired by Roman statuettes representing gods. However, similar bronze statues were already known in Scandinavia since the Bronze Age and were most likely of a ritual significance. The specific crossed hand on a chest is a puzzling symbol, possibly symbolising a gesture of a specific god, ritual act or blessing. Another similarity can be observed on rock art in Scandinavia, especially the image of a 'divine couple', a strong motif known from the late Iron Age depicted on many golden sheets called guldgubbers. Several scholars argue that this image represents the marriage of god Frey and giantess Gerd; however, it may also represent a union of Frey with his sister Freya. From later sources, it is known that the Vanir, an ancient race of gods, had a custom to marry or have intercourse with their siblings. Njord, the father of Frey and Freya, was from this tribe, and sources suggest that they were conceived with his sister-wife. She might have been the mysterious Suebi goddess Nerthus, which Roman historian Tacitus wrote about in Germania. Her statue was kept in a sacred grove on an unknown island, drawn in a holy cart and only priests could touch her. Everywhere the goddess came she was met with celebration of peace and hospitality. After she returned to the temple, everything was washed by slaves, who were drowned short after. Her connection with fertility, peace, and water, definitely points to the Vanir race; and she shares several similarities with the later worshipping of Frey. This mount probably represents either Njord and Nerthus, or Frey and Freya, and may had been used as a votive offering or worn as an amulet to invoke the fertile powers of those gods. [No Reserve. A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] Fine condition. Extremely rare.
Lot 477
14th century AD. An elaborate enamelled bronze swivelling horse-harness banneret with rectangular bifacial plaque and lateral tube; the heraldic design with monkey surrounded by foliage with red fruit. Cf. Ashley, S. Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk, East Anglian Archaeology 101, Dereham, 2002, item 238 for type, 243 for heraldry. Hammond, B. Benet's Medieval Artefacts of England & The United Kingdom, Witham, 2015, p.193, item HP-26758. Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme with reference number NMS-9F6934; accompanied by a print out of the PAS report. 33 grams, 44mm (1 3/4"). Found Norwich, Norfolk, UK, in 1976. Bannerets are rectangular (or occasionally heater-shaped) plaques with the design repeated on both faces but reflected i.e. a lion rampant will face the leading edge on both sides of the plaque. They were used by noblemen entitled to bear heraldic arms on their own equipment, and by their liveried retainers. Pendants and bannerets bearing the royal arms were probably used by royal officials such as sheriffs, bailiffs and stewards, and by their attendants. Bannerets usually display an enamelled heraldic motif and the tube on the leading edge demonstrates that they were meant to be seen vertically (rather than hanging or swinging in the manner of harness pendants"). They were attached to the horse's bridle or harness by means of a bronze rod or spigot; one example from Norfolk (Ashley, 2002, no.242) retains this element. A 13th century bronze aquamanile in Florence (Ashley, 2002, plate V) depicts an English nobleman on horseback with heater-shaped harness pendants on the horse's chest and a short plume above the horse's arched neck; it is probable that the banneret was similarly mounted in this position where it could be clearly seen but would not impede the use of the reins. Bannerets probably fell into disuse with the introduction of the full heraldic caparison for the horse and the statutary limitations on the use of liveries by retainers in the 15th century AD. [No Reserve] Fine condition. Rare.

Property of a Middlesex gentleman; acquired in the 1980s. Very fine condition. Rare.
