The movement will just about run when encouraged however a gentle clean/service is required. The enamel dial is in fine condition having only one small edge chip (cannot be seen with the bezel closed). The silver convex dial has some wear/degradation of the silvering otherwise is in good original condition. The spirit lamp to the inside of the vase is intact but will require filling and providing with a wick. The case is in very good original condition with some overall mellowing/patination and light wear to the painted surfaces and slight patchy discolouration to the gilt mounts.Timepiece does not have a winding key present.

Lot 19
Middle Kingdom, 11th-12th Dynasties, circa 1991-1786 B.C. A limestone stela fashioned as a simplified ‘false-door’ - a symbolic portal originally carved into or painted onto a tomb wall to allow the Ka (spirit) of the deceased to venture from his/her burial chamber and partake in offerings of food and drink; the raised torus border framing the central scene and texts still retaining traces of an alternating yellow, red and white block decoration, above the frame a cavetto-style cornice highlighted with similarly coloured vertical and horizontal bands; the deceased wearing a short white kilt with a prominently-pointed front, secured by a narrow belt, the free end of which projects from the waist, wearing a short black wig, his outstretched left arm with an open palm, a gesture of veneration, while his bent right arm points to his wife standing behind him; the wife’s left arm outstretched and her hand resting on his shoulder, while her right arm hangs down at her side and holds a long-handled bag(?), wearing a long white strap dress which leaves her breasts exposed; between the man and woman a simple offering table with a red-painted jar and two incense pots with long wicks (or kohl-pots with long-stemmed applicators); to the man’s right two sandals shown side on ‘floating’ above the baseline; the man standing before a rack with shelves, four incense cones to the top together with meat, vegetable, and fruit offerings; two tall tear-drop-shaped vessels painted red with white stoppers both supported on collared rings stands on the shelves; four sandals to the right of the rack, drawn as viewed from above, arranged vertically; above the pictorial scene three horizontal lines of hieratic text written in black ink on a yellow ground, the few signs that remain in the top register present the opening of an offering formula, invoking the king and the jackal god Anubis (with some of his epithets) to grant food offerings to the owner of the stela; mounted on a custom-made display stand. See Dunham, D., Naga-ed-Dêr Stelae of the First Intermediate Period, London 1937, pls. XXIV no.2, XXVIII, no. 1, for vertical arrangements of 'loose' food offerings; Leiden Museum, inv.no. F 1937/12.1, for a provincial false-door stela; Semitic Museum, inv.no. 2354, for a provincial stela with 'floating' offerings. 22.7 kg, 52 x 32.5 cm including stand (20 1/2 x 12 3/4 in.). From the collection of Pierre Vérité, Paris, begun in the 1920s. By descent, the collection of Claude Vérité, Paris, France. Accompanied by an academic report by Egyptologist Paul Whelan. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11282-189916. One might wonder if the inclusion of the two groups of sandals (six in total) was especially important to the deceased - perhaps he was a leatherworker involved in their production. Overseers of sandal makers are attested at temple sites such as Abydos and Nag ed-Deir, and perhaps this modest stela belonged to a leatherworker under the supervision of just such an official. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]

A MONUMENTAL INLAID AND LACQUERED WOOD MASK OF EMMA-O, THE KING AND JUDGE OF HELLJapan, late Edo period (1615-1868)The gigantic head boldly rendered with a fierce expression, marked by a large pair of dramatically reverse-painted glass eyes below furrowed brows, a broad nose with flared nostrils, the mouth wide open to reveal bone-inlaid teeth and a movable tongue. The head, brows, and chin neatly adorned with real horsehair.His elaborate crown is finely lacquered in gold and black, with a central jewel on a lotus flower surrounded by four spires in front of a scrolling top, inscribed, and decorated with billowing clouds and key fret.HEIGHT 81 cmCondition: Excellent condition, commensurate with size and age. The details (eyes, teeth, tongue, hair) all original and quite well preserved. Some chips, losses, natural age cracks, abrasions and old wear, traces of wear, splits, old repairs and touchups.Provenance: From an old south German private collection, assembled between 1970 and ca. 2000. Thence by descent.The present mask, larger than two average human heads, is to be considered extremely rare, with its original details made from a variety of materials all still intact. Its massive power and vigorous spirit have been exceptionally well-preserved through the centuries.Buddhists believe in reincarnation, but many schools of Buddhism hold that a sinful person is punished for a period of time between death and rebirth in one of several levels of Hell. Emma-o, a powerful and fearsome figure, decides this future fate of all deceased, sometimes singly and sometimes as part of a group of ten Hell Judges. For this reason, the image of Emma-o is a focus for prayers from the living, who ask for leniency for their recently departed loved ones.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related figure of Emma - o, King and Judge of Hell, 16th century, wood with gesso and traces of polychromes and inlaid glass eyes, 48 cm, in the Brooklyn Museum, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. H. George Mann, accession number 79.277.
Lot 312
SHIBATA ZESHIN (1807-1891): A HIGHLY IMPORTANT 7-METER “CHOJU-GIGA TURTLES” EMAKI HANDSCROLLBy Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891), signed Keio ni tsuchinoto shunjitsu Zeshin (On a Spring day in the second Year of Keio, Zeshin). With seal Tairyukyo.Japan, dated 1866The Emakimono is humorously painted in ink and picked out in pale watercolors on paper with a continuous scene of 88 (!) turtles, all personified in a variety of human activities and pursuits including punting, sumo-wrestling, fishing, playing musical instruments, performing acrobatic feats and drinking sake.The work is delightfully sketched and loaded with satirical fun, overall a true fruit of native wit. The turtles, each different but altogether a symphony of sublime artistry, owe nothing to China, besides maybe a vague debt to its older artistic tradition. Instead, they are witness to that reaction against the solemnities of Buddhist art which we have noticed so rarely, yet so clearly in the past millennium of Japanese artistic tradition.Shibata Zeshin's studio was situated on the bank of a river, providing him with ample opportunity to observe nature, and the creatures that inhabited the natural world. Like many painters of the 19th century, he was eclectic in his sources and would have been exposed to traditional styles. However, Zeshin's skill level was such that he could fluidly mix techniques, ideas, and stylistic options, thus painting part of a composition in one manner and including elements of another to add variety and dynamics unheard of at the time.In the present work, the turtles are executed in the Shijo-manner but imbued with a personal, atmospheric quality and satirical elements, clearly Zeshin’s personal homage and interpretation of the Choju-giga, the world-famous emakimono which pioneered the depiction of frolicking animal-person caricatures, painted in the 12th century, reputedly by the Buddhist monk Toba Sojo.Choju-jinbutsu-giga (literally "Animal-person Caricatures"), commonly shortened to Choju-giga (literally "Animal Caricatures"), is a famous set of four picture scrolls, belonging to Kozan-ji temple in Kyoto, which dates to the mid-12th century and is credited as the oldest manga in history. The scrolls are now entrusted to the Tokyo National Museum of Japan. The work belongs to the decline of the Fujiwara period, but it expresses in one of its best aspects the artistic spirit of their age.SIZE 704 x 31 cmCondition: Remarkably well preserved, with only minor soiling, foxing, creases, traces of use and old wear. Extremely rare in this pristine condition. Provenance: A continental private collection. Bonhams, London, 10th November 2011, lot 250, sold for GBP 32,450 at the time, which is equivalent to ca. EUR 48,396 in today’s currency after inflation. A noted private collector of noble descent, acquired from the above. With two wooden storage boxes.
