Late Cretaceous Period, 100-66 million years BP. A large Charonosaurus sp. hadrosaur egg on matrix retaining evidence of the original leathery surface. 3.8 kg, 18.5cm (7 1/4"). Property of an East Sussex gentleman; from his private collection formed between 1983 and 1990; formerly in a South East London collection formed in the 1970s. Dinosaur eggs are known from about 200 sites around the world, the majority in Asia and mostly in terrestrial (non-marine) rocks of Cretaceous Age. It may be that thick calcite eggshells evolved during the Cretaceous (145 to 65 million years ago"). Most dinosaur eggs have one of two forms of eggshell that are distinct from the shells of related modern animal groups, such as turtles or birds; however, some eggs closely resemble the type of shells seen in present day ostrich eggs. Fine condition.

Middle Sicán Period, 8th-14th century AD. A gilded life-size repoussé funerary mask, crescentic in plan with tear-shaped eyes, raised nose made separately with dangles beneath which cover a thin mouth, anthropomorphic figures on upper ears representing helmetted warriors; discoid ear plugs; raised beads to the chin and ears; embossed patterns to the face; a number of piercings to the eyes which suggest they once held attachments or other decoration such as feathers, shells or jewels; red-brown patina; Sicán Lambayeque culture, circa 750-1375 AD. See Newton, D. et al., The Pacific Islands, Africa, and the Americas, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1987; cf. Pillsbury, J. et al., Golden Kingdoms: Luxury Arts in the Ancient Americas, Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum, 2017, no.21. 69 grams, 26cm (10 1/4"). From the private collection of Mr Michael J. Vaupel, Miami, USA; acquired from Gloria Lisset Reyes Garcia, Florida, USA; ex private American collection, circa 1960s; previously in the collection of Mr Razeto; acquired in the 1950s-1960s; formerly acquired before 1950; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10236-167180. The surface of this mask is composed of gold and a small percentage of silver and copper. The use of gold suggests that the individual was a member of the nobility. Gold was a metal with a symbolic connection to the sun deity. The ancient Peruvian people were skilled metalworkers. They used copper, gold and silver which were mined locally to make a variety of luxury objects. This mask once belonged to a high priest or ruler from the Sicán or Lambayeque culture in northern Peru. It was intended to protect the deceased in the afterlife and was deposited in a grave, either on top of or around the upper part of, the body of the deceased's mummy bundle as a substitute for the face of the deceased. The ovoid eyes are characteristically Lambayeque in style and may represent a figure known as the Sicán deity. Some experts believe that an individual interred with such a mask was believed to appropriate the deity's attributes and powers, and transformed into venerated ancestors upon death. The hanging ornaments are typical of such Sicán objects, which have been discovered in the tombs of both male and female notables. Although used in the context of burials, the dangles conveyed a sense of animated movement, as the mummy was processed to its final resting place within a monumental platform mound. Very fine condition.

Chinoiserie in the 18th Century: Four 18th Century Fans, the first being early and elaborately decorated, with gold foil shapes to the top border, and in three places extending down the leaf, with the addition of foil shells and other miscellaneous motifs. The leaf, divided into three panels, features figures in robes, a humped bridge, and buildings. Stylised foliage and trees are discretely highlighted with gold. The monture, with plain gorge, is piqué to both guards with the addition of Mother of Pearl in the form of a figure, a fish and a leaf, and thumb guards. The double paper leaf features finely painted flowers and leaves to the verso. Guard length approx. 11 inches or 28cm. Together with a slender early 18th fan with shaped lower monture, giving rise to interesting detail when the fan is closed and viewed from the side, the double paper leaf painted in subtle colours, showing a wealthy gentleman in robes and black hat, escorted by a servant shading him from the sun with an enormous parasol, suddenly encountering a monkey on a tree branch ahead. The verso is plain. Guard length approx. 10 inches or 25.5cm; a third ivory fan, the upper guard and lower gorge sections carved and shaped, the double paper leaf painted to the recto with delicate flowers and unusually figures wearing white robes. The verso is plain. Guard length approx. 11.25 inches or 28.5cm; and finally, a Chinese carved ivory fan with export monture, the guards designed in panels, the flowers and buildings minutely carved, the gorge pierced with a central shield containing entwined initials ''M ?'', intricate and elaborate carving of flowers and leaves climbing a minute lattice filling the remaining space. The double paper leaf, with cream ground, is designed with a central cartouche of a pagoda and walled garden near water, a figure at the bank greeting a passing boatman, mountains rising in the background. The reserves are filled with sprays of flowers and leaves in pastel colours. The verso is painted with larger floral sprays. Guard length approx. 11 inches or 28cm (4). The first fan has damage to the leaf and possibly the right side shortened, crude restoration to split folds seen from the verso. The second example is in good general order. Fan 3 has extensive splitting to the leaf making it difficult to view the scene. The final fan has some damage to the leaf, the upper guard has broken, but the section is present, both still attached to leaf and rivet, and the lower guard has broken off at a similar point and lacks approx. 2.5 m of a plain lower section.

An 18th Century Ivory Fan, the slender monture carved, pierced and painted in colour, the gorge with a central cartouche painted with chinoiserie and two side vignettes, one with a basket of flowers, the other with pink roses, complementing two further areas of pink roses that separate, at each side, two ladies carved in the ivory. The lower gorge section features a band painted with shells and roses. The leaf, vellum mounted à l'Anglaise, is painted in deep colours to the recto, showing a fête champêtre with two couples, the ladies wearing particularly well portrayed bodices, two other male friends looking on. The verso shows a maiden at rest in a country setting, the top and side borders painted with exotic fruits and flowers. Guard length approx. 11.75 inches or 30cm. The fan has been removed from the frame for the images to be taken. Some rubbing to the outer edges of the leaf. Seen from the verso, very yellowed Sellotape is present to the top section. The fan does not wish to refold. The frame is available within the hammer price should the purchaser wish to take it. Old repair to the upper guard.

A John Brooker Original, number 65 from a limited edition of 100 and signed by John on the verso. Printed in London and retailed by the Fan Museum Trust. From an original painting by David Walker, who was a theatrical designer and attended Art School with Helene Alexander. Issued to commemorate the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York in 1986. With a portrait of each of the happy couple, a central initial ''A'' above two winged cherubs, one holding aloft a flaming torch. The reserves are printed with Neptune, a mermaid, sea shells, butterflies and floral garlands looped with gold wedding rings. The monture is of ivory, with the upper guard carved with a thistle.. As new.

A Late 18th Century/Early 19th Century Chinese Carved Ivory Brisé Fan, Qing Dynasty, the twenty-four inner sticks and two guards with gently rounded tips. The guards are quite deeply carved with tiny birds, buildings, flowers and shells, the inner sticks more simply designed with fretwork in different patterns and sizes, with a deep central band containing an oval to each side and a central shield with finely carved entwined initials, possibly ''MJ''. Bears an old auction label dated 21st October 1970. Guard length approx. 9 inches or 23cm.. The ribbon is defective but present, could perhaps be reglued. Each of the carved oval features has slight loss to the ivory carving.
