A LARGE CHARLES II LIGNUM VITAE WASSAIL BOWLC.1680the body turned with reeded bands, with engraved initials 'D E', on a conforming circular foot26cm high, 23.3cm diameterProvenanceThe Simon Castle Collection of Treen.LiteratureThe current lot is illustrated in the Illustrated History of Antiques, general editor Huon Mallalieu, p.257. Catalogue Note A legacy of Anglo-Saxon culture, wassailing ceremonies traditionally occurred on important feast days, especially Twelfth Night. The term 'wassail' itself derives from the Anglo-Saxon 'waes hael', meaning 'good health'. This expression of well-wishing was exchanged as the wassail bowl was passed round the table for guests to share its contents of mulled ale. The bowl had become, by the Stuart period, a significant status symbol and grew greatly in size during the 17th century, thanks to the adoption of lignum vitae as a turnery wood around 1660. With its large hardwood core and its particular durability, this timber revealed itself ideal for making large drinking vessels, especially as its sap was also considered to have healing properties. The pinnacle in this production is arguably epitomised by Post-Restoration wassail bowls, such as the example offered here. Recent examples of this date sold in these rooms include lot 14, 4th October 2017, which fetched £14,000 hammer, as well as lot 101, 6th July 2021, which achieved £8,500 hammer and lot 392, 4th & 5th October 2023 which fetched £28,000.

A BACTRIAN LAPIS LAZULI SEATED FEMALE FIGUREPresumably Bactria-Margiana, circa late 3rd to early 2nd millennium BC. Composed of a lapis lazuli body and a separate stoneware head, wearing a kaunakes, or tufted garment, indicated by incised lines, the neckline V-shaped in front and rounded in the back, white head set into a recess on its flaring neck, the oval face with a prominent nose and recessed eyes.Condition: Commensurate with age, wear, signs of weathering, encrustations, minor losses. The body with breakage and repairs, remnants of adhesive, and the head with a few minuscule chips. Otherwise, good condition.Provenance: The collection of The Zelnik Istvan Southeast Asian Gold Museum. Institutional art collection in Belgium, acquired from the above. Dr. Istvan Zelnik, President of the Hungarian South and Southeast Asian Research Institute, is a former high-ranking Hungarian diplomat who spent several decades in Southeast Asia, building the largest known private collection of Asian art in Europe.Weight: 3,048 gDimensions: Height 15.4 cmSmall statuettes like the present lot have been produced by the Oxus civilization, which existed between 2300 and 1700 BC in Central Asia. This culture produced the rather distinct type of female statuary also known as 'Bactrian Princesses'. Most of them are seated composite figures. As the Oxus civilization, due to its strategic position in Central Asia, had intense links with neighboring cultures, these small figures also reveal a certain Mesopotamian influence. Despite their name, the 'Bactrian Princesses' are nowadays believed to be depictions of female deities who played a regulatory role in the natural order, pacifying the untamed forces embodied by lions, snakes, or dragons, rather than being portraits of members of the noble elite.Literature comparison:Compare a related seated female figure also wearing a tufted garment, see pls. 114-115 in Ligabue and Salvatori, eds., Bactria, an Ancient Oasis Civilization from the Sands of Afghanistan. The authors postulate (p. 177, op. cit.) that the horizontal lap of these figures may have served as an offering table.Auction result comparison:Compare a related statue sold at Christie's New York in Antiquities, 9 June 2011, lot 19, for USD $68,500.
