Lot 138

1st-2nd century A.D. A bronze ladle comprising a hemispherical bowl with a flat-section handle, ribbed bulb above and round-section hook with collar detailing, finial formed as a swan head with punched eyes. Cf. Tassinari, S., La Vaisselle de Bronze, Romaine et Provinciale, au Musée des Antiquités Nationales, XXIXe supplément de Gallia, Paris, 1975, items 40-3, for ladles with similar animal-head finials; cf. also Boucher, S., Inventaire des Collections Publiques Françaises - 17 Vienne: Bronzes Antiques, Paris, 1971; pp.168-169, for similar specimens. 145 grams, 27 cm (10 5/8 in). UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. This type of ladle was used for libations of wine to the gods during sacrifices. The shape of the simpulum was that of a small cup, with a single elongated handle. The material of which it was made varied according to the wealth of the altar; there were specimens in silver; some were of brass and others made of wood or terracotta. This simpulum or simpuvium is often found depicted on Roman medals. Thus a coin of the gens Seslia bears on the reverse a tripod having on its left a sacena oracieris, or pontifical axe (securis pontificalis) and on its right a simpulum. Another coin, belonging to the gens Sulpicia, displays a simpulum between a knife and a sacena oracieris on the reverse. Fine condition.

Lot 139

4th century A.D. A short silver spoon with shallow piriform bowl, raised neck with movable pinned hinge attached to the square-section handle and shortened knob finial, allowing the handle to be folded into the bowl. Cf. Shelton, K.J., The Esquiline Treasure, London, 1981, item 27, for type. 28.4 grams, 10.8 cm (4 1/4 in). UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. As today, the spoon was used as a measure for dosage in ancient times too. Both the cochlear and the ligula could have been used to measure different quantities, particularly in the practice of medicine and in the kitchen. Isidore (Origines, XVI, 26.3) tells us that the cochlear was the smallest unit size and was worth half a drachma. Fine condition.

Lot 142

2nd century A.D. A silver ring with D-shaped hoop, set with an oval glass gemstone incised with confronting busts of the divine twins Castor and Pollux, their hair arranged under a fastening band (taenia), a star above both heads. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L., Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991, item 243, for this style of ring; for the Roman gemstone with facing busts, see Chadour, A.B., The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, Volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 348, for type. 6.88 grams, 21.26 mm overall, 16.82 mm internal diameter (approximate size British L, USA 5 3/4, Europe 11.24, Japan 10) (3/4 in). German art market before 2000. With a European gentleman living in the UK. Property of a Surrey gentleman. The ring belongs to the type II, variant I of the Ruseva-Slokoska classification of the Roman silver rings. The stars above the heads of the famous twins, brothers of Helen of Troy, remain to this day as the symbols of the constellation Gemini. Fine condition.

Cf. Ross M.C., Catalogue of the Byzantine and Early Mediaeval Antiquities in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection, Volume 2: Jewelry, Enamels and Art of the Migration Period, Washington, 2005, item 15, for type. 48.15 grams, 55 cm long (21 5/8 in).

Lot 160

7th-9th century A.D. A silver-gilt belt mount formed as a square plaque decorated with repoussé facing ducks inscribed in a tondo, pearled edge and triangular finial ornamented with volutes. See similar style in art decoration and belt elements from Bulgaria in Inkova, M., 'Duck Image on a Gilt Silver Strap End: on 'Diffused' Motifs of the Early Medieval Bulgarian Culture' in Archaeologia Bulgarica, Sofia, 2003, pp.83-96, figs. in pl.V. 2.07 grams, 47 mm high (1 3/4 in). Collection formed in the 2000s. Property of an English gentleman. The theme of the duck, inherited by the Byzantines from Sassanian art (wallpainting in Eastern Turkestan, reliefs at Taq-i-Bustan, see Inkova, 2003, p.91) was widely used in the belt mounts of the Eastern Roman Empire, especially from the 7th to the 9th century A.D. Its use in the Imperial Court of Constantinople strongly influenced that of the Empire’s neighbours, like the Bulgarian Court at Preslav. [No Reserve] Fair condition.

Lot 224

2nd millennium B.C. A restrung designer necklace composed of elongated carnelian and short steatite or shell cylindrical beads with eight silver-gilt pendants, each decorated with four stylised birds arranged in quadrilateral formation. 20 grams, 41 cm (16 in).

Lot 230

6th century A.D. A silver elliptical-shaped bowl with thickened chamfered rim, the centre engraved with a later gilt standing guinea fowl showing tufts of feathers crested on its head, enclosed within a stylised laurel leaf wreath. Cf. for similar bowl with gilded guinea fowl Akbarzadeh, D., Daryaee, T., Lerner, A.J., ‘Two recently discovered Sassanian silver bowls’ in Bulletin of the Asia Institute, New Series, Vol. 15, (2001), pp.71-75, fig.2. 120 grams, 15.2 cm wide (6 in). UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. The wealth of the Sassanid court has been confirmed by archaeological excavations that have unearthed shallow vessels, among which bowls forged from precious metals like silver, likely used to drink wine in the palaces and at the court of the Š?hanš?h (King of Kings). The production of silver vessel and dinner objects for the court was highly centralised within the empire. In the 5th and 6th century A.D., this production expanded, creating new shapes, such as pitchers, elliptical bowls and high footed bowls, also used by the middle class. The presence of a guinea fowl on this bowl is interesting and could tell us about another function for the vessel. Animal fat was important in Persian daily life and had a variety of usages: for example, pih-e buz (goat fat) was placed in bowls and used as a cosmetic lotion, or for treating cracked skin. Fine condition.

Lot 285

5th-10th century A.D. A statuette modelled in the round as Buddha seated in padmasana, hair covering ushnisha, stylised facial features, silver inlaid eyes, elongated earlobes, garment with folds and voluminous sleeves; hollow-formed. 310 grams, 10 cm high (4 in). Acquired 1960s to early 1970s. ‘Buckingham Collection’, the late Nik Douglas (1944-2012), renowned author, curator and Asian art expert.

Lot 337

Late 1st-2nd century A.D. A copper-alloy sheath mount belonging to a dagger (pugio) of type II, composed of a plaque divided into six decorated sections, the upper and the third representing a goddess’s head enclosed in a tondo, surrounded by foliage, the second and the fourth representing a flower enclosed inside a trapezoidal pattern with plants in all four corners, the last two sections ornamented by tripartite foliage with sinusoid pattern at the base; the edge decorated with dots, the first and the third section fitted with extension at the sides, having four holes for fastening to the wooden core; traces of niello on the leaves; mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf. Feugère, M., Weapons of the Romans, London, 2007, pp.126-128; Casprini, F., Saliola, M., Pugio gladius brevis est, storia e tecnologia del pugnale da guerra romano, Roma, 2012, fig.F40, for the type (from Vindonissa). 290 grams total, 25 cm high including stand (9 7/8 in). UK private collections, 1990s. Property of a Sussex, UK, teacher. The decorative sheath seems to be of the type “A3” according to Casprini and Saliola, decorated with incisions in brass and silver without the use of enamels. The absence of the latter is their specific characteristic, although they do share symbolism with ‘type B’ sheaths which can be mainly identified by temples, palms, diamonds inside squares. They can be dated to Nero’s reign and possibly to the later Flavian Age. The decoration is unusual and in some aspect recalls the one of the Hercules sheath published by M. Feugère (p.127) and originally sketched by R. Forrer. Fine condition, repaired.

Lot 340

4th-5th century A.D. A group of sword fittings and a blade comprising: a double-edged spatha with a lentoid parallel-sided iron blade and well preserved pointed tip; evidence of battle nicks on both cutting edges; a gold-sheet for the hilt, divided into thirteen sections by beaded banding, to the top part an inset garnet cabochon; a domed chalcedony pommel; a domed gilt pommel cap with ropework decoration to the rim, central inset garnet cabochon flanked by teardrop-shaped cells, two with inset glass and six with inset bone inserts; a pair of gold scabbard fittings, one plain with beaded edge and one similar with garnets; six domed discoid fittings for the scabbard guttering; a silver buckle with applied sheet-gold plate with inset garnets; two gilt triangular strap ends with loops. Cf. various, I Goti (the Goths), Milano, 1994, item p.118, cat.II.11, no.II.I.R; Lebedinski, I., Armes et guerriers Barbares au temps des grandes invasions IVème au Vième siècle après J.C., Paris, 2001, p.116; Wieczorek, A., Périn, P. (ed.), Das Gold der Barbarenfürsten. Schätze aus Prunkgräbern des 5. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. zwischen Kaukasus und Gallien, Stuttgart, 2001, figs.1.6.2.2, p.100, 3.1.2, p.124, 4.11.2.11, p.165. 827 grams total, 84.5 cm long (33 1/4 in). Acquired 1971-1972. From the collection of the vendor's father. Property of a London, UK, collector. Accompanied by an archaeological report by Dr Raffaele D'Amato. Accompanied by scholarly note TL05426 by Dr Ronald Bonewitz. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11179-187530. This sword belongs to a group of spathae of late Roman typology, spread among the Germanic and Nomad foederati, and garrison troops. These weapons, diffused from the 4th century A.D., descend from the Nomad swords with plated guards (classified as Nomadic-Asiatic by Menghin and Pontico-Caucasian by Lebedinsky) having a long and thin blade, usually of a lenticular or diamond section and a lozenge plaque strung in iron on the tang. The remains of the guttering of such swords have been rarely found, and very few scabbard fragments are preserved, all presenting a noteworthy variety of typology from region to region. Fine condition.
