Ca. 202 BC-220 AD. A beautiful rectangular stone relief depicting a dragon in left profile with a high-arched tail. A short beard extends from the lower jaw of the open mouth of the dragon. The prominent eyes are set below finely incised brows and a pair of slender horns swept back above a rounded ear on either side of the neck, which is finely detailed with small feather-like scales, as are the upswept wings. The back of the relief is unworked, suggesting that in its original context, this relief was meant to be seen only from the front. Good condition. Believed to bring good luck and represent peace, courage, and wisdom, dragons were considered auspicious symbols in the Han dynasty and came to be associated with imperial power. The Han Dynasty, which ruled between 202 BC-220 AD, brought great prosperity and stability to China, reigning over a golden age of classical Chinese civilisation during which China saw major advances including the widespread development of a monetary economy and the invention of paper, as well as much progress in the decorative arts.

Lot 649
Ca. 1st century BC - 1st century AD. A silver ring fashioned into the form of a coiled serpent, the ring is crafted from a single piece of gleaming silver wire, skillfully tapered from its narrowest point at the tail to its broad and flat head with recessed eyes. The serpent's scales are intricately engraved, with delicate attention to detail, on the upper portion of the ring, creating a lifelike texture that shimmers in the light. The interior of the ring has been carefully smoothed and worked for maximum comfort during wear, ensuring that the wearer can appreciate the beauty of the ring without discomfort. Snake rings have a long history in Roman culture, with serpents being a common motif in Roman jewelry. Snakes were often associated with regeneration and renewal and were seen as symbols of power, wisdom, and protection. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Roman snake rings were also believed to have protective and magical properties. It was believed that the serpents coiled around the finger would act as guardians against evil spirits and bad luck, making these rings not just beautiful adornments, but also powerful talismans.

Lot 676
Ca. 100-300 AD. A collection of four lead weights and slingshots. These ancient artifacts feature shell shapes and ellipsoidal forms closely resembling acorns or almonds and are exemplary specimens of Roman metalwork. The weights and slingshots are made from high-quality lead, a material that was widely used in ancient times for its durability and malleability. The lead has been expertly cast and shaped, with each piece demonstrating remarkable precision and attention to detail. The use of slingshots in Roman warfare was widespread, and their importance in battle is attested to by their depiction in a variety of ancient sources. Roman soldiers would carry multiple slingshots on their person and would use them to launch small stones or lead bullets at the enemy. These projectiles were capable of inflicting serious injury and could be fired with great accuracy and force. The weights, on the other hand, were used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the weight of goods, ensuring the accuracy of scales, and anchoring nets and fishing lines.Size: L:35-40mm / W:20-25mm ; 260gProvenance: Private London collection, B.A.; formerly in pre-2000 European collection.
