The iconic design revered by horological connoisseurs is instantly recognizable with its structured strongbox case with structurally integral octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws. In 1993, Audemars Piguet took the next step in the evolution of the Royal Oak with the introduction of the Royal Oak Offshore. The first Offshore reference was the 25721ST and the larger dimensions of the watch earned it the nickname 'The Beast'. Over the years Audemars Piguet have released numerous modifications to the model whilst maintaining the key elements conceived first in the 70s by Genta and then in the 90s by Emmanuel Gueit.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 3

Middle Kingdom, late 12th-13th Dynasty, circa 1878-1750 B.C. A figurine in blue-green faience depicting a human female displaying traits of achondroplasia, with a disproportionate body, protruding abdomen, prominent buttocks, and shortened limbs; the large and exaggeratedly flattened head sports a distinctive hairstyle consisting of three ‘bunches’ on the front and three long braids at the back; the shaven top of the head is indicated by stippling; the figure wearing a long, single-strand shell necklace, armlets, and a girdle, all indicated in black pigment, as are the facial details, hair colour, pubic triangle, fingernails, and toenails. Cf. The Metropolitan Museum, New York, accession number 1972.48, for a similar figure; cf. Bourriau, J., Pharaohs And Mortals, Egyptian art in the Middle Kingdom, CUP, 1988, pp.121-122, for discussion and female dwarf figures; for a detailed discussion of the three-braid hairstyle see Tooley, A.M.J., Notes on Type 1 Truncated Figurines. Part 2. Hairstyles and the Conceptual Development of Braided Forms, SAK 49, 2020, pp.243-274 and pl. 27. 50 grams, 66 mm high (2 5/8 in.). Acquired from Dr Jan Beekmans, circa 1985.UK private collection.Accompanied by an academic report by Egyptologist Paul Whelan. This figurine belongs to a rare sub-type in a category of anthropomorphic figures produced during the late 12th-13th Dynasty. The category comprises around 200 figurines which include truncated-leg females, ‘grotesque’ human forms, and those displaying more distinct traits of achondroplasia, such as can be observed in this figurine. Very few examples of this particular sub-type are known, of which only one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York provides a close parallel in terms of overall styling and form with this figurine. The purpose of this figurine is not fully understood, but other types of female representations in the large corpus of Middle Kingdom faience figurines are now considered to have embodied generative and regenerative power for their owners. This figurine shares the same distinctive three-braid hairstyle and the necklace, armlets, and girdle body adornments found on some. Body adornments of this kind also occur on wooden ‘paddle doll’ female figurines which are considered to have some connection with khener-dancers, who performed in royal, temple and funerary spheres. Since, in funeral contexts, ritual dances were often performed by dwarfs, a further connection can possibly be made between the role of khener-dancers and this figurine. The performance of such dancers in royal or funerary contexts was considered to bring the power of regeneration and potency to the recipient.

Brian Buckley, God moves in mysterious ways, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, wire, elastic, inscribed God moving in a mysterious way and signed Brian Buckley, approx. 20.6cm high, 11.8cm wide, 12cm deep; together with three pieces by the same artist, all signed Brian Buckley and stamped to underside BRIAN BUCKLEY CASHELOGARY, INVER, CO. DONEGAL, comprising: How to Breath, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, wire, elastic band (renewed), paper, signed Brian Buckley, with label printed HOW TO BREATH, approx. 29.5cm high, 13.5cm wide, 9.4cm deep; Sleeping Man, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, approx. 20cm high, 15cm wide, 9.5cm deep; Corncrake, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, wire, approx. 19.8cm high, 13cm wide, 6.8cm deep, and Dancers, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, plywood, approx. 20.5cm high, 12.8cm wide, 7.2cm deep (5) Sir Nicholas Goodison noted:God moves in mysterious ways: God, in the form of a benign bearded old man seated on the floor, moves in a circle against a glorious yellow sky. His outstretched arms and hands seem to say, ‘Look at Me!’. The mystery may be that He levitates or that He moves in a circle, or both. Neither seems unlikely for God, who can presumably do anything.How to Breath: The man is dressed in sports kit with white gym shoes, stands very upright and has his arms firmly at his side. He might have been in the army, even with the rank of staff sergeant. He breathes through a wide-open mouth, red on the inside with lots of teeth, as his chest rises with the intake of breath. The elastic-band driven mechanism is simple, an eccentric cam raising the dowel on which the upper body is fixed, and a wire behind which pulls the head back and opens the mouth. Sleeping Man: The sleeping man’s chest heaves as he breathes, and his head rises up the back of the chair. The movement is so realistic that one wonders why there is no sound of snoring. He wears a think woolly jersey. The movement is causes by an eccentric cam bearing on a single dowel.Corncrake: The corncrake rises from the corn, driven by an eccentric cam directly beneath and opens his beak. His croak is caused by a flange of plywood passing simultaneously over a serrated wheel. Dancers: The dancing couple are not ambitious and stay rotating on the same spot. But their footwork is fancy, and they can rotate for a long time, fast or slow (fast is better), or turn back and forward. The friction drive relies on a hexagonal wheel to impart the jerkiness. He looks a bit like Jacques Chirac. Brian Buckley was born in Belfast and studied fine art at Reading. From 1990 he built stage sets and made automata, working in 1991 with Paul Spooner on Spooner’s ‘Museum of the Mind’. He moved back to Ireland in the same year and has worked on several TV and museum projects.Provenance: God moves in mysterious ways: Purchased/Commissioned, Brian Buckley, December 1998. How to Breathe: Purchased, Hitchcocks, Bath, ‘Something Nasty in the Woodshed: An exhibition of Mechanical Toys and Automata’, May-July 1995, May 1995.Sleeping Man: Purchased, Hitchcocks, Bath, ‘Something Nasty in the Woodshed: An exhibition of Mechanical Toys and Automata’, May-July 1995, May 1995.Corncrake: Purchased, Hitchcocks, Bath, ‘Something Nasty in the Woodshed: An exhibition of Mechanical Toys and Automata’, May-July 1995, May 1995.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.
