13th-14th century AD. A round-section gold hoop with pie-dish bezel, inset cabochon sapphire. Cf. Chadour, A.B. Rings. The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994 item 566. 3.58 grams, 27mm overall, 20.19mm internal diameter (approximate size British U 1/2 USA 10 1/4 Europe 23.15 Japan 22) (1"). Very fine condition. A large wearable size.Property of a private collector, Nottingham, UK; acquired from his father, Cyril H, in 1990.  A large proportion of gold used in late medieval production was recycled gold: goldsmiths used ancient coins, jewellery, or other gold objects as their raw material. In the High Middle Ages, the previously produced gold stock of Europe was primarily accumulated in the court of the Byzantine emperors; consequently, little gold was circulated in the Western world. For coinage, for example, silver was generally used until the 13th century, when gold coinage was introduced in Italy, France, and England. This gold, however, was not newly produced but acquired through trade with the Arab countries, rich in gold since the early Middle Ages. From the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, gold production in Europe increased alongside the continuing importation of gold from the Arab world. A significant quantity of gold was mined, especially in Bohemia and Hungary, and most gold was produced by mining, but some gold was also gained by panning, especially in the Rhine area. Precious stones were acquired almost exclusively from long-distance trade. Among the most frequently used stones, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, turquoises, and diamonds came mainly from the East: rubies were brought from India and Ceylon, sapphires from Ceylon, Arabia, and Persia, emeralds from Egypt, turquoises from Persia and Tibet, and diamonds from India and Central Africa. The deep blue colour of sapphires meant that they were almost exclusively worn by royalty, the aristocracy, and the high members of the clergy, such as bishops, as the colour was associated with Late antique and Byzantine concepts of sovereignty and power.

Lot 543

15th-16th century AD. A D-section silver hoop with raised projections to the shoulders, rectangular bezel with inscribed magic square 'SATOR/AREPO/TENET/OPERA/ROTAS'. 7.84 grams, 27mm overall, 19.86mm internal diameter (approximate size British T 1/2 USA 10 Europe 23.33 Japan 21) (1"). Very fine condition. A large wearable size.Property of a gentleman; acquired in the 1990s. The origins of this palindrome word square seem to be in the early Roman Empire with the earliest example being found at Pompeii; whilst other examples are known from Dura Europos, Rome, Cirencester and the Roman fort at Manchester, and other parts of the Roman Empire. The text may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, or right-to-left; and it may be rotated 180 degrees and still be read in all those ways. The meaning of the words has been translated as 'The farmer Arepo turns the wheels'; there has been much speculation to the meaning of the words with the most popular theory being that it is early Christian. By re-positioning the letters around the central letter N, a Greek cross can be made that reads Pater Noster both vertically and horizontally. The remaining letters – two each of A and O – can be taken to represent the concept of Alpha and Omega, a reference in Christianity to the omnipresence of God. Thus the square might have been used as a covert symbol for early Christians to express their presence to each other. However, the earliest dated examples pre-date Christianity, and other theories are that it relates to the mystery cults, with the word Arepo being a form of the name of the Egyptian god Harpocrates. It is found in medieval contexts being used in folk magic for various purposes, including putting out fires (the spell is TO EXTINGUISH FIRE WITHOUT WATER in John George Hohman's Long Lost Friend), removing jinxes and fevers, to protect cattle from witchcraft, and against fatigue when traveling. It is sometimes claimed it must be written upon a certain material, or else with a certain type of ink to achieve its magical effect.

[A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] For a similar silver rhyton with female bust and buffalo head, see The Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1964.96. 802 grams, 21.5cm (8 1/2"). Fine condition, some loss to head.Property of a London gentleman; previously in an important Mayfair collection, circa early 1980s.The piece is probably part of a rhyton with the hole to the base being for the attachment of a spout. The rhyton was a popular drinking vessel in the east, in the Persian empire as well as the later Parthian and Sassanian empires. They reached Greece in the fifth century BC where Greek craftsmen adapted the eastern models according to their own specific preferences. They are frequently depicted on Greek funerary reliefs, as well as being some of the luxury items offered to the Great King on the reliefs from the stairways at the palace of Persepolis. They could be made from a range of material such as ceramic, silver, gold and even ivory. They often incorporate imagery relating to Dionysus, such as vine leaves and panthers, but other creatures such as lions, griffins, bulls, goats and stags also appear. In the Sassanian Empire Greek and Roman styles influence the native art to produce a hybrid style. The depiction of the female on this piece could be that of the goddess Anahita, an important deity of the Sassanian pantheon who divinity of water, healing, fertility and wisdom. The use of the bust of the goddess as the main body of the vessel could indicate that it was used in rituals associated with the goddess. [No Reserve]

Lot 824

Early Cycladic II Period, 3rd millennium BC. A marble head from a Cycladic figure, with long slender head with flattened top arching back slightly, long nose and long slender neck; mounted on a custom-made stand. For a similar piece see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 64.246. For a discussion on Cycladic art see, Stampolidis, N. and Sotirakopoulou, P. Aegean Waves: Artworks of the Early Cycladic Culture in the Museum of Cycladic Art at Athens, Milan, 2008. 496 grams total, 14cm including stand (5 1/2"). Fine conditionEx an important collection; from a Mayfair gallery in the 1990s, and duplicates from the Ian Woodner collection, New York (he amassed a large group of Cycladic works of art before his death in 1990 some of his collection is exhibited in the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC").The Cycladic islands of the Aegean achieved a certain level of prosperity due to the wealth of natural resources on the islands such as gold, silver, copper, obsidian and marble. This prosperity allowed for a flourishing of the arts and the uniqueness of Cycladic art is perhaps best illustrated by their clean-lined and minimalist sculpture which is among the most distinctive art produced throughout the Bronze Age Aegean. Most of the figures were sculpted from slim rectangular pieces of marble using an abrasive such as emery. There are on occasion surviving traces of colour on some statues which was used to highlight details such as hair in red and black and facial features were also painted onto the sculpture such as eyes. Representations of the mouth, however, are very rare on Cycladic sculpture. Their most likely function is as some sort of religious idol and the predominance of female figures, sometimes pregnant, suggests a fertility deity. Supporting this view is the fact that figurines have been found outside of a burial context at settlements on Melos, Kea and Thera. Alternatively, precisely because the majority of figures have been found in graves, perhaps they were guardians to, or representations of, the deceased. Indeed, there have been some finds of painting materials along with figures in graves which would suggest that the painting process may have been a part of the burial ceremony. .

Lot 918

19th century AD. A hollow-formed bronze incense burner, rectangular in plan with faceted openwork column to each corner surmounted by a beast-head and supported by a scooped foot; round void to the upper face with lip; square-section handle with hatched ornament, two polyhedral balusters, poppy-head terminal; executed in 13th century style. Cf. von Gladiss, A. Glanz und Substanz. Metallarbeitung in der Sammlung des Museums für Islamische Kunst, Berlin, 2012 item 26. 2 kg, 35cm (13 3/4"). Fine condition.Property of a European collector living in London; acquired before 2000.From the surviving examples of Islamic incense burners that have survived and which are preserved in various museums and private collections, we can divide them into two major types. The western types, which owe their origin to Coptic and Byzantine examples and, the oriental type which were made under strong Indian, but particularly of Buddhist influence. Islamic historical sources are extremely generous with accounts on the subject. According to a descriptive account by al-Mas‘udi, the ‘Abbasid caliph, al-Ma‘mun, presided over an assembly of legists every Tuesday. When these and other learned men came to the palace to attend these meetings, they were first ushered into a chamber and served a meal, after which the incense burners were brought so that the guests could perfume themselves before entering the caliph's presence. The amount of aromatic substances, particularly aloes and certain varieties of sandalwoods, used for thurification in the households of caliphs and dignitaries, must have been enormous. Thurification was, however, not confined to the audience halls of caliphs, kings, and their dignitaries, or to the drawing rooms and private chambers of urban aristocracy. An important account by the early tenth-century geographer, Ibn Rustah, suggests that religious institutions were likewise incensed, apparently under the influence of Christian church practice. He relates how the orthodox caliph, 'Umar, presented to the mosque at al-Madina a silver incense burner ornamented with human figures which was brought by him from Syria. More than five centuries later the famous Spanish traveler, Ibn Jubayr, describes a religious ceremony during the month of Ramadan in a mosque at Mecca which was perfumed with aloes wood from a censer.
