This beautiful cast bronze sword has a tapering, bevelled blade with raised midrib and an integral handle with a recessed crescentic lower guard that would have been inset with stone, bone or ivory inlay. Bronze weaponry production flourished in western Asia, the Aegean, and Mainland Greece from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC, when it was gradually replaced by iron.

Lot 164
Ca.1-300 AD. A superb Roman restrung necklace comprising multiple glass and semi-precious stone beads (including a large number of Carnelian examples) in various shapes (e.g. spherical, rectangula, rectangular and melon-shaped). Beads were an important part of Roman women's dress. While the primary function of Roman beads was probably decorative, the Romans also believed that different coloured stones had important magical properties - amethysts were thought to protect against drunkeness - but unfortunately the ancient sources do not tell us about the full meaning of every stone. For more information on Roman bead types, see M. Guido (1978), The glass beads of the prehistoric and Roman periods in Britain and Ireland. London: Society of Antiquaries. Good Condition, wearable. Size: L:680mm/L:550mm (beads only); 60g. Provenance: Property of an established London gallery; acquired from a private estate collection formed in the 1970s.
Lot 165
Ca.800 - 600 BC. An early necklace formed from stone beads and bronze pendants in a variety of shapes including bells, buckets and (restrung). Bells had magical implications in ancient societies as their unpredictable noises could help to keep away evil spirits. Such pendants may originally have belonged to precursors of the Druids. A Druid (Celtic: “Knowing [or Finding] the Oak Tree”) was a member of the learned class among the ancient Celts. They seem to have frequented oak forests and acted as priests, teachers, and judges. The earliest written testimony of the Druids comes from the 3rd century BC but they probably originated much earlier as this late dating reflects the point at which the literate Greek-speaking societies of the Mediterranean came into contact with the Celts of Northern Europe. Good condition, professionally restrung, suitable for contemporary wear. Size: L:780mm/L:480mm (beads only); 272g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Cambridgeshire gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK /European art markets.
Lot 166

Lapis lazuli is one of the oldest gems known to mankind, with a history stretching back more than 7000 years.
