It is reasonable to assume that the blade was made at Klingenthal as this type of engraving was not known in Naples. There are only two blades inscribed in this manner: the present lot and one made for the Emperor Napoleon, now in the Museo Ejercito, Toledo.Two related swords were taken as spoils of war at the Battle of Vitoria. The first, a splendid ceremonial glaive made at the Royal Manufactory in Naples for Joseph Bonaparte, was presented by the Marquis Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, to the Prince Regent. Preserved in the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle (see Guy Francis Laking, The Armoury Of Windsor Castle, 1904, pp. 191-192, pl. 28, No. 656).The second, made for Emperor Napoleon I, has a blade of related type inscribed A Napoleon 1er. Empereur et Roi. The sabre was carried by Napoleon during his Spanish-Lusitanian stay between November 1808 and January 1809 and subsequently remained at the Royal Palace in Madrid. Following its capture at the Battle of Vitoria it was presented by the victorious Marquis Wellesley to Ferdinand VII, King of Spain and is now in the collections of the Alcazar of Toledo, Museo Ejercito, Castille-La Mancha, Spain (inv. no. ME [CE] 44128)The Battle of Vitoria marked the end of French rule in Spain.

A Balinese gem-set silver-gilt mounted steel dagger (kris) Indonesia, 18th/ 19th Centurythe double-edged watered steel blade of undulating form with gold overlaid dragon to one side, the gilt silver hilt in the form of a deity, inlaid with rubies, emeralds and other gemstones, the wood scabbard clad entirely in silver decorated in repoussé and gilt with an undulating vine to one side set with gemstones, a lion and confronting bird on a ground of floral interlace to the other, carved ebony mount to top 53 cm. longFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate Spanish collection.The hilt is probably in the form of the wind god Batara Bayu, the spiritual father of Hanuman and the Pandawa brother of Bima from the Mahabharata epic. Bayu is the Indonesian expression of the Indian wind god Vāyu, worshipped in this context as a protective deity but also as the bringer of health and riches. Bayu is recognisable by his large moustache, characteristic broad grin and long, sharp thumbnails (panchanaka) which he uses as a weapon. He holds in his right hand a vessel containing (toya mreta) the life-giving holy water, an important element in physical and spiritual purification rituals in Bali. Deeply rooted in the Malay world in both ritual prescriptions and mythology, the kris has played a particularly important role in Balinese society. Standing as pusaka, a powerful sanctified heirloom and serving as a strong marker of socio-economic status, a kris could only be made by Pande blacksmiths who claim status higher than that of a Brahman.For a group of similar Balinese kris dated to the 18th/19th Centuries, some in the National Museum of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, see Robert Hales, Islamic and Oriental Arms and Armour, 2013, p. 125, nos. 306, 308 and 309.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Originally fighting weapons, their short curved blade became increasingly non-functional as the sword became merely a symbol of status. The Dutch and British governments in Ceylon continued the tradition by awarding kastanes of varying degrees of quality depending on the rank of the recipient.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
