Late Period, 26th Dynasty, 664-525 B.C.

Cf. for a near identical example from Memphis and now in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, inventory no. 54.395.896 grams total, 27 cm including stand (10 3/4 in.). Smith family collection, Cambridge, UK since 1949. Private UK collection since 1978.Accompanied by a scholarly note by Egyptologist Paul Whelan. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.11033-183985. The moon god Khonsu (whose name means 'wanderer', referring to the passage of the moon across the sky) is known as a blood-thirsty sky-deity in the Pyramid Texts. In New Kingdom Thebes, however, he was regarded as a far more benevolent deity, being the child of Amun and Mut, and provided with his own temple at Karnak. There, he was considered to control destiny. Khonsu can appear in human form with a side-lock of youth, wearing an enveloping garment, and holding royal regalia, and also as a falcon-headed man with the full moon and crescent new moon headdress, as with this fine example. In his falcon-headed form he frequently holds an ankh symbol and a was-sceptre, for which the hands of this piece were drilled to accept the god's well-known attributes of an ankh and a was-sceptre.

JIM SULLIVAN | WALES RUGBY LEAGUE 1930s An exceptionally rare 1930s Wales Rugby League jersey match-worn by record breaking – and code breaking, Jim Sullivan (1903-1977). The jersey in traditional red body with white collar. Bears a red shield crest stitched to chest having embroidered three feathers. Label to collar for ‘Fast Dye Guaranteed’. Black number 1 to white panel stitched to the back. This example is still caked with the mud of an evidently wet pitch 90 years ago! Provenance: purchased by vendor from an UK auction of Jim Sullivan items, in 2008 Some rugby historians have credited Jim Sullivan as being the greatest rugby player to be born in Cardiff. Born in Splott on December 2nd 1903, Jim’s father was a butcher from Ireland. Jim went to St Alban’s School and played rugby union for Cardiff at 16. At 16 years 10 months, Sullivan had played for the Cardiff first team and went on to make 35 appearances. He was a powerfully built full-back who doubtless was schooled in hard knocks around the streets of Splott. At 17 years four months he became the youngest ever play to represent the Barbarians RFC. At this time he was apprenticing as a boiler maker.Sullivan also represented Wales in Baseball and was said to be able to club balls out of the local parks in true American style. Because of lack of employment, six months before he turned 18, Sullivan signed a 12-year contract with Wigan Rugby League in the north-West of England, for a record equalling fee of £750 in June, 1921. If Sullivan had remained an amateur ‘…he would most probably have become Cardiff’s greatest of all full-backs’, according to the late Danny Davies, historian at Cardiff RFC, He joined Wigan and won the first of his then Welsh record 26 rugby league caps eight days after his 18th birthday. His final appearance came at 36 and he led his country 18 times. Sullivan won four Rugby League Championship finals, the Challenge Cup twice and the Lancashire Cup three times. He played 25 Tests for Great Britain, three for England and six for Other Nationalities. In his 60 international appearances he scored 329 points. He coached Wigan between 1946 and 1952, guiding them to two Challenge Cup wins at Wembley, six successive Lancashire Cups and three Northern League Championship finals. He switched to St Helens at the start of the 1952-53 season and immediately steered them to the League Championship title in 1953 and to their first Wembley triumph a year later. He has been appointed to the Rugby League, Wigan and St Helens Halls of Fame and is included on the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame ‘Roll of Honour’. The sheer size of the numbers involved in the rugby league career of Jim Sullivan still amaze. By the time he hung up his boots after 922 first-class games on 23 February 1946, he had scored 6,001 points. He played for Wigan for 20 years in 774 matches, scoring 4,883 points.

High specification and highly original, this outstanding, low-mileage Gallardo has formidable presence, presented in Metallic Grigio Proteus and is supported by a comprehensive Lamborghini service history.The 1974 launch of the Lamborghini Countach was, without doubt, a turning point in sportscar design and it became a poster car for a generation. The car's 'flying wedge' design, with a sloping snout that appeared to descend directly from the windscreen, and innovative 'scissor doors' was pure automotive drama. Drawing from his revolutionary Lancia Stratos Zero concept from the year before, Marcello Gandini designed the Countach as an angular wedge with crisp lines and dramatic angles. Compared to its curvaceous rivals, the Countach was a razor blade in a drawer full of spoons and influenced the looks of every Lamborghini that followed.The purchase by Audi of Lamborghini in 1998 secured the marque’s future into the next millennium, and whilst the Murcielago became the company’s flagship supercar, the 2003 launch of the more approachable, mid-engined Gallardo marked Audi’s engineering and technical input with the new model proving the most usable and reliable to ever leave the Sant'Agata factory. Named after a famous breed of fighting bull, production ended in 2013, and it was the most successful model in the history of the company.Offered here in the Silverstone Auctions May event at Supercar Fest is a stunning Lamborghini Gallardo that was delivered new to the UK and first registered on 22nd March 2007. A large factory specification included paintwork finished in Metallic Grigio Proteus, a bi-colour leather interior, Callisto Silver split-rim wheels, front-end lifting system, E-Gear paddle shift transmission, Satellite navigation, come-home function, Electric heated sports seating, NavTrack, Heated wing mirrors, rear-view camera, dark rear lamps, Bluetooth phone prep and paint protection film to the front end.Indicating just over 24,000 miles, at the time of cataloguing, it's evident that this example has been extremely well cared for from new. The grey metallic paintwork is virtually flawless, the alloy wheels are spotless, and the interior presents as new. The low mileage is supported by a comprehensive Lamborghini service record with the most recent at 24,050 miles completed by a main agent. The Gallardo is supplied with a history file including invoices to support the maintenance record, old MOT Certificates showing no advisories ever, and a current V5C ready for transfer or export.This is a great opportunity to take ownership of a modern classic Lamborghini with a timeless design, a 'supercar' that is very easy to get along with especially featuring the front lift and seamless paddle shift transmission. Very few excellent examples come to market and this one, in a very stylish colour with a high factory specification really ticks all the boxes.SpecificationMake: LAMBORGHINIModel: GALLARDOYear: 2007Chassis Number: ZHWGE12TX7LA05223Registration Number: LJ07 EVVTransmission: E-GearDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black-greyClick here for more details and images
