Lot 1310
2300-2200 BC. A limestone cylinder seal with intaglio images of a standing god and animals; supplied with a cast impression; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Cylinder Seal of Grey Stone. 32 x 24mm. In the centre of the scene is a standing god, with long beard, long robe from the waist of decorated cloth and bottom fringe. In each hand he is gripping the horn of a bull: the two identical: long curling beards and manes. Above the backs of the bulls are crouching lions on a smaller scale, and above and between the lions a recumbent quadruped. Below each arm of the god is a very small rearing horned quadruped. This is an Akkadian period seal c. 2300-2200 B.C., but extremely rare and possibly unique. The design seems to lack any parallel so far. Most of the surface is in very good condition, but the creature above the lions is slightly damaged. This lot is part of a single collection of cylinder seals which were examined in the 1980s by Professor Lambert and most are accompanied by his own detailed notes; the collection has recently been reviewed by Dr. Ronald Bonewitz 33 grams, 32mm (1 3/4"). Property of a lady; acquired in the late 1970s on the London art market. Fine condition.
Lot 1490
1st-4th century AD. A carved schist statue of a standing warrior on a rectangular block with a bird held in the crook of his left arm; scale armour to the upper body, loose trousers, loosely slung sword belt to the waist with scabbard; remains of spear shaft in the right hand. Known as Dvarapala, figures such as these flank the entrance to temples and act as guardians to the sacred space within. The image of a warrior deity is at odds with Buddhist imagery and ideology and it is thought that such figures were adopted from Hinduism and could be derived from the god Skanda. 16 kg, 43cm (17"). Private collection, Cambridgeshire, UK; acquired prior to 2000. Fair condition; head absent.
Lot 223
1st-2nd century AD. A D-section silver bracelet with stamped scale detailing, the finials formed as snake-heads with pellet eyes. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L. Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991, item 162. 30 grams, 81mm (3 1/4"). Property of a London collector, acquired before 1980. Very fine condition.
Lot 258
1st century BC-2nd century AD. A bronze statuette of Mercury sitting nude with right leg bent and left leg extended, winged petasos to his curly hair, marsupium in his right hand, left hand extended to accept a caduceus. Cf. Rolland, H. Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, items 56, 57. This is a small scale copy of the famous statue that was created by the sculptor Lysippos in the fourth century BC. The only large scale copy of the original to have survived is the famous Seated Hermes found at the Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum, in 1758. 190 grams, 11cm (4 1/2"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Extremely fine condition.
Lot 558
8th century AD. A convex gilt-bronze mount comprising a chip-carved plaque and beast-head finial; the plaque rectangular with a median panel of regular interlace, flange borders with a row of fine punched triangles and holes for attachment; the beast-head with segmented oval ears, chamfered lateral edges and keeled snout, raised nostrils to the lower edge, rows of fine triangular punchmarks to the top of the head below and above the ears, fine incised concentric curves radiating from below the eyes along the snout; both ears and one eye set with a small glass domed stud, the other eye opened out. Cf. Hammond, B. British Artefacts vol.2 - Middle Saxon & Viking, Witham, 2010, item 1.6-g with interlace panel, 1.6-i with concentric lines below the eyes and raised nostrils; Webster, L. & Backhouse, J. The Making of England. Anglo-Saxon Art and Culture AD 600-900, London, 1991, item 47. The mount belongs to a class of Irish or Irish-inspired beast-head mounts from Anglo-Saxon England in 8th century contexts. A facing beast-head with similar features appears on the Coppergate helmet (Webster & Backhouse, 1991, item 47) where it connects the gilt-bronze crest to the arched brows. It is probable that this Irish influence can be directly related to the close connections between the English church and Irish missionaries, although the artistic influence operated in both directions and created a characteristic Insular Style of decoration which appears on both sides of the Irish Sea and also in European contexts. The tiny scale of execution and the fineness of the detailing are difficult to reproduce photographically and must have been almost invisible to contemporary casual observers. 11 grams, 43mm (1 3/4"). Found near Thetford, Norfolk, UK. Fine condition.
