Lot 293
3rd century AD. A bronze 'female-type' cavalry sports helmet mask of Medusa typology, modelled with the features of Gorgon Medusa; voluminous wavy hair intertwined in serpent-like curls and with three buns arranged like horns on the top of the head, the hair with central parting at the front; the eyes, nostrils and mouth delicately pierced; two piercings to the lower rim for attachment of the connecting straps; a slot to the top through which a fastening turning-pin secured the inner mask.Cf. Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975, pls.359ff.; Garbsch, J., Römische Paraderustüngen, München, 1979; D'Amato, R., Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017, figs.225ff.578 grams, 27cm (10 1/2"). From an important East Anglian arms and armour collection; acquired from a Dutch private collection in the 1990s; previously in a Swiss family collection since before 1980; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10604-174115.The distinguishing features of this type were the division of the helmet into two parts on the ear line, and sometimes the removable central area of the mask covering the eyes and mouth. Among the large number of surviving Roman masks is a series which has been generically indicated by Robinson as 'female type' but more conveniently classified by A. Negin as Medusa mask helmets. A mask capable of being taken off at any time proves that this type of helmet could be used, not only during parades and other ceremonies, but also in combat. It is in battle that the use of masks depicting Medusa is most probable; in the heat of battle this image performed both of its functions – to protect the owner and to intimidate the enemy, with the face of the terrible Gorgon believed to be able to transform humans into stone. Masks of this type are well known from Aquincum (Austria) Madara-Shumen and Kalenik (Bulgaria), Krefeld-gellep and Weißenburg, (Germany"). One of the most beautiful specimens, also with horns on the head, is preserved and in the private collection of Plymouth, Providence Academy (Negin-D’Amato, 2017, fig.262"). A video of this lot is available to view at TimeLine Auctions website. Fine condition, restored.

M., La voce delle cattedrali, Bari, 2010, for discussion.141.4 kg total, 67-80cm (26 1/2 - 31 1/2"). Ex central London gallery; previously with Jean-Emmanuel Prunier, 15 April 2012, lot 64; formerly in the Bruneton collection, France; accompanied by an archaeological report by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato for the lion.The lion offered here was most likely positioned at the entrance of a church, or served as an isolated guardian of the borders of some feudal possession. The lion was an undisputed symbol of strength, symbolising the strength that monitored sacred spaces. According to medieval bestiaries, the lion was also a symbol of Christ. From the 4th century AD, the vision of Ezekiel and John's Apocalypse assigned the lion a stable place in the iconography of the tetramorph (the Four Living Beings in front of God) to represent the evangelist Mark next to the calf (Luke), the Angel (Matthew) and the eagle (John"). They are the four winged cherubs singing the triumphal hymn, exclaiming, proclaiming, and saying: 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord Sabaoth'. The oldest representations date back to the 5th century AD and are found in the mosaics of the baptistery of Naples and in the apse of S. Prudenziana in Rome. The tetramorph was a favourite subject in 12th century medieval art for the decoration of the main portals of the great churches and cathedrals. [No Reserve] Fine condition; some restoration to the bear.

A carved head of an angel; the round face with smiling expression with small dimples to cheeks, long wavy hair covering the ears, a grape vine woven into the hair; remains of pigment in the recesses throughout; mounted into an old custom-made wooden display stand.See Sauerlander, W., Gothic sculpture in France, 1140-1270, New York, 1972; see Joubert, F., La sculpture gothique en France. XIIe-XIIIe siècles, Paris, 2008; see Kasarska, L., La sculpture de la façade occidentale de la cathédrale de Laon. Eschatologie et humanisme, Paris, 2008.7.2 kg, 25.5cm including stand (10"). Previously with Ancient Resources, Montrose, California, September 2017; formerly in a private US collection, since 1990s; accompanied by a scholarly note TL5357 by Dr Ronald Bonewitz; this lot has also been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10503-171765.The traces of pigments on this extraordinary piece are important. Until the sixteenth century, most sculptures decorating the churches were still painted, like in the ancient times. The extension of polychromy on stone and marble sculptures varied according to the material used, the taste of the clients and the styles of the individual artists. Fine condition.
Lot 397

Lot 402
Circa 1520 AD. A very large painted glass panel depicting the martyrdom scene of the stoning of Saint Stephen outside the city walls set in a leaded wooden frame; the Saint is represented standing with the monastic tonsure, dressed like a Franciscan Deacon; two of his tormentors, with a decidedly Germanic frown, stone him to death, while a third tormentor, sword in hand and cap on the ground, contemplates the scene while drinking from a narrow goblet.Cf. Koopmans, R., ‘Early Sixteenth-Century Stained Glass at St. Michael-le-Belfrey and the commemoration of Thomas Becket in Late Medieval York’ in Speculum, vol.89, no4, October 2014, pp.1040-1100, figs.12ff.8.9 kg, 105 x 68.5cm (41 1/2 x 27"). Ex central London gallery; previously with Hotel des Ventes de Metz, 16 February 2020, lot 344.The martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian to suffer death for his religious beliefs, is recounted in Acts 7 whereby the young teacher in the Christian community of Jerusalem was sentenced to death by stoning. The Germanic aspect of his tormentors and their dresses evoke the ferocious German mercenaries of the Emperor Charles V, who in 1527 sacked horribly the city of Rome, killing thousand of civilians and ecclesiastics. [No Reserve] Fair condition, repaired.
