"Augustus or Tiberius Æ Sestertius of Thaena, Africa(?). Circa AD 13-17(?). [Bare head right] / Head of Serapis right; part of ethnic visible before, T'YNT(?). CNG e415, 476; for similar, cf. RPC I 810 (smaller denomination) and MAA 55 (same). 27.24g, 38mm.Fair/Poor. Extremely Rare; unpublished in the standard references and the second example to be offered at auction.Though almost blank, this coin appears to share the same reverse die as the example sold by Classical Numismatic Group earlier this year (see references). The aforementioned piece exhibits an imperial portrait on the obverse, presumably Augustus or Tiberius, and has been attributed to Thaena on the basis of its similarity to another issue minted there. Part of the city ethnic appears to be visible before the head of Serapis on this coin, however it is not sufficiently clear to confirm the attribution to Thaena."
"Antinous Æ Hemidrachm of Alexandria, Egypt. Dated year 21 = AD 136/7. ANTINOOV HPѠOC, draped bust left, wearing hem-hem crown / Antinous (as Hermes) on horseback to right, wearing chlamys, holding caduceus with his right hand; L below horse, [KA] (date) before. Köln 1278 var. (placement of date); Dattari (Savio) 2090 & 8015; K&G 34a.6; RPC III 6235; Emmett 1347.21. 13.01g, 27mm, 11h.Near Very Fine. Rare. Antinous' death by accidental drowning in the Nile in October AD 130 was a severe blow to Hadrian, for the youth had been his close companion and confidant for nearly five years, and had accompanied the emperor throughout his great tour of the empire beginning in March 127. Hadrian's marriage to Sabina was an unhappy one, and Antinous has been described as the one person who seems to have connected most profoundly with Hadrian"" throughout the latter's life (see R. Lambert, Beloved and God: The Story of Hadrian and Antinous, 1984, p.30). It is unsurprising therefore that Hadrian decreed that Antinous should be elevated to the Roman pantheon as a god, and that a city should be built at the site of his death. What was most unexpected however was that he deified the young man without consulting the Senate, and that he ordered Antinous' image to be placed on coinage across the empire. The coinage in the name of the deified Antinous was substantial. In all, over thirty cities issued bronzes bearing his image, though none as prolifically as Alexandria in Egypt, where his cult, associated with Osiris, was particularly strong. Hadrian himself, we are told, preferred to associate Antinous with Mercury/Hermes, but across the Empire he was far more widely syncretised with the god Dionysus. A great many busts and statues of his were set up in cities across the Roman world, of which numerous examples survive including the iconic 'Braschi Antinous', now in the sala rotonda of the Vatican Museums. That statue, on whose head modern restorers placed a sort of pine cone, would have originally been topped with a lotus flower or hem-hem crown, as on the present coin type. To create the myriad busts, statues and engraved images Hadrian turned to Greek sculptors to perpetuate the melancholic beauty and diffident manner of Antinous, in the process creating what Caroline Vout (Power and Eroticism in Imperial Rome, 2007) described as ""the last independent creation of Greco-Roman art"". All of his images share certain distinct features, including tousled curls, a perfect Hellenic nasion, and a downcast gaze – that allow him to be instantly recognized."""
A Friendly Gesture: A Circa 1780's Mother-of-Pearl Fan, with sticks in the form known as ''battoire''. This monture is most heavily carved and gilded, with elaborate piercing to the gorge. Carved ovals of various sizes have been combined to present various male figures in 18th century dress, together with background lattice work and floral detail. The double paper leaf, presented in quite autumnal colours, in particular dark green, shows a couple and their son outside in the garden next to a simple table covered in a white cloth. They are joined by another man carrying a tall silver lidded tankard, presumably wishing to share a beverage with his friends. The lady in pink, her arm around her husband's shoulders, pushes an empty glass towards the new arrival. All are attired quite formally in 18th century dress, the men in long jackets and breeches, waistcoats and sashes, the boy in red. To the left, a lady plays outside with perhaps the same child, certainly wearing red, his mother this time dressed in blue. To the right, the child has changed to red breeches and a brown jacket with green waistcoat, the lady to blue and mauve and possibly doing some embroidery. The leaf is bordered in dark green, relieved in the reserves with garlands and groups of colourful flowers. Four classical oval vignettes, however, painted in near black, bring back some of the more formal feel to the leaf. The verso is lightened to the sides with large colourful flowers. To the centre, a lone gentleman has crossed water to an island and, next to some ruins, he raises his gun at birds flying overhead. Guard length 26cm. Together with an 18th century fabric covered boxthe monture has been damaged with obvious losses to three sticks. The guard is broken. Losses to the sequins. The gilding is now quite dull, and there are definite losses in particular to the lower guard. Another gorge stick has been repaired with a panel seen from the verso.
Sharing a Picnic: A Mid-18th Century Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the monture carved and pierced, silvered and gilded. The guards each have two have attractive curved features which contain flowers. The slender gorge sticks feature three vignettes in which are gilded figures. The double skin leaf is darkly painted in shades of beige and green, blue shy in the distance, a young couple seated under a tree in a clearing in order to share a picnic. The young man, dressed in bright blue, seems to wish to deprive his young lady of a morsel she has already chose, reaching across her in quite a determined fashion. Two sheep sit close by. The painting is signed to the left Z.... (Zaborowska? If this is correct, Gabrielle Zaborowska was born in 1852 and painted fans) The verso, painted with a simple gold border, features crossed flower holders and ribbons. Guard length 29cmRepairs to the gorge sticks from the verso. Leaf folds rubbed.

GLASGOW CELTIC 1914 Gilt inscribed Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited Annual Summaries Ledger commencing in 1914. Contains Register of Directors and their home addresses, Register of Shareholders , addresses, shares held and amount paid on each share, both dated 25th May 1914. Other entries include Summary of Share Capital and Shares for the Celtic Football and Athletic Co Ltd dated 15th June 1915 as per Companies Acts 1908 and 1913, followed by a list of shareholders, addresses, shares held and amounts paid as at 30th April 1915 , signed by W.Maley Secretary 30/4/15. The Ledger also has the same information plus Register of Directors as at June 1916, there being 5 Directors including Thomas White and James Kelly. The entries continue for 1917 and 1918, a Balance Sheet for 1918 is included plus the entries for 1919 and 1920 conclude the register. Several signatures of Maley in the Ledger and it seems that all the pages of entries are in Maleys handwriting. Willie Maley was manager of Celtic between 1897 and 1940 when he retired at the age of 72. The Ledger is a little damaged at the top of the spine and on the both the front and back of the hardback ledger but overall condition is , in our opinion, Fair, possibly Fair-generally good and this ledger is the record of part of the history of the Club and did of course originally reside at the Club.

Walter of Henley. [Hosbondrye], decorated manuscript on parchment, in French (Anglo-Norman), i + 7 + i leaves, one 8-leaf quire but last leaf now lacking, modern pencilled foliation in upper outer corner, text block: 128 x 90 mm, single column, 29 lines, ruled with lead point, without catchwords, text written in cursiva Anglicanan in the same hand throughout, 24 initials in blue, with pen-flourishing in red, often with extension along the margin, other chapter divisions in red and blue, modern brown morocco, with 'Walter of Henley Husbandry 14th Cent' lettered in gilt on front cover, a few leaves slightly browned, some tiny holes, occasionally and partly affecting a few letters, especially to last leaf, upper margin possibly trimmed at time of rebinding, small 4to (199 x 139/140mm.), England, [early 14th century].⁂ A precious and highly important early 14th century manuscript containing almost the complete text of Henley's Hosbondrye, one of the most significant agricultural works produced in England in the second half of the 13th century, and one of the most famous examples of Anglo-Norman literature. inc. Le pere sist en sa veillesce e dit a sun fiz (Oschinsky, p. 308, ch. 1)expl. ou plus ou meyns solum ceo qe le tenys est. (Oschinsky, p. 338, ch. 101)The text lacks only the final 59 lines (Oschinsky, ch. 102-113). Considering the unknown scribe copied the text with regularity, filling each page with 29 lines, it seems logical to suppose that only the final leaf of the manuscript is now missing. The Hosbondrye is a didactic treatise on estate management written in the form of a sermon from father to son and giving advice on husbandry, corn farming (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, costs of cultivation, etc.), and livestock farming (cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry). Its exact date of compilation is unknown: it could possibly have been written between c.1276, when the English Parliament debated the Extenta Manerii, concerning estate management, and 1286, i.e. a year after the issue of the Statute of Westminster. In 1971 Dorothea Oschinsky listed 32 manuscripts of the Hosbondrye, to which a further 3 should now be added. A dozen manuscripts contain the author's name in the title, while only two give biographical information about Henley, describing him as a knight, and later a Dominican friar. The work is generally inserted in manuscript compilations, including statutes, rules, charters, and other texts dealing with estate management and accounting, such as the Seneschaucy and the Rules by Robert Grosseteste. The text is known in two traditions, called α and β. The manuscripts derived are classed in group A (from α) and groups B-F (from β, and its derived branches γ and δ). The different groups often share variants, or show individualistic omissions or insertions. In this manuscript - in all likelihood originally bound up in a composite codex - the text of the Hosbondrye is copied with accuracy, possibly in a professional milieu. Corrections are lacking and only a few words are wrongly repeated. The text copied belongs to tradition β, but shares some variants with the derived branch γ, establishing a new group from β. Furthermore, this text is introduced by a four-line passage in which the compiler mentions the name of the author, giving some biographical details about Henley: he is described as a knight who later entered the Dominican order ('Ceo ditte de husebonderie fist un Chivalier Sir Waltier de Henleye qi puis se rendit en le ordre de frere precheurs), information which is given, with a few changes in word sequence, only in two manuscripts: the early 14th-century compilation made by or for the Northampton lawyer John de Longueville (Cambridge University Library, MS Dd.VII.&), and the late Hosbondrye written c.1450, and kept in the Hampton L. Carson Collection of The Free Library of Philadelphia (MS LC 14.3). The scribe also adds a note on the moral content of Henley's advice, a guide for "viuer sagement et honestement de luy biens", a feature that is to be found in a number of manuscripts belonging to group D, transcribed in the early 14th century for monastic houses in southern England, such as the Benedictine Abbey of Abbotsbury, Dorset (Cambridge University Library, MS Hh.II.11), or the Canterbury Cathedral Priory (BL, Add.MS 6159; Cambridge Trinity College, MS O.9.26; Canterbury D.&C. Muniments, Register B, and Register P).In the 'Preface' to her critical edition, Oschinsky states that 3 further Henley manuscripts have been discovered, "but too late to be included in this book". Among them she mentions the Rothamsted manuscript, whose importance she highlights for a future and more precise reconstruction of Henley's manuscript tradition: "One early-fourteenth-century copy has come to light which is of great interest [...] It enables us, moreover, to assess the printed translation of Walter included in The Booke of Thrift by James Bellot, printed in 1589 [...] We now find that it was translated from a copy which followed the version of the newly-found Rothamsted copy and it can be assumed that the two texts are survivors of a group, widely spaced in time, which ultimately derived from a copy of β older than our γ" (pp. vii-viii). This is the only manuscript of Henley's Hosbondrye to come to auction since 1978.Provenance: Rothamsted acquisition date 1939.Literature: N.R. Ker, Medieval manuscripts in British libraries. V.

Pottery figure of Friar Tuck, possibly unique potted by an unknown Royal Doulton sculptor, 21.5cm high Provenance: The vendors father supplied decorating products to the potteries business and acquired this piece as part of his trade. Sadly the information regarding the name of the sculptor has now been lost but it has always been believed to have had a Royal Doulton connection. The clay, glazing style and decoration do share remarkable similarities to the products of Royal Doulton.
