Lot 579
2nd-6th century AD. An important copper funerary mask representing a Moche dignitary; he wears a stylised octopus headdress with a central owl-head in high-relief, ornamental collar around his neck, discoid ear spools with owl-head bosses in high-relief; hammer and repoussé technique; light green-black patina; Lambayeque Valley, circa 200-500 AD. See Newton, D. et al., The Pacific Islands, Africa, and the Americas, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1987; cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Moche mask, accession no. 1979.206.1279, for similar example. 176 grams, 19.5cm (7 3/4"). Ex Martin Schloderer, Mechtersheim, Germany; previously in the collection of T.J. Die, Texas, USA; acquired from a Texas based dealer in 2007; previously in a USA private collection; formerly acquired in the 1950s. Funerary masks like this one were only worn by high status individuals such as kings and religious figures. Moche was a powerful and influential state. Repoussé is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped and decorated by hammering from the reverse side to create a raised design on the front. No metal is lost in the process, although the process is relatively slow, with the end result being one continuous surface of sheet metal of essentially uniform thickness. Any direct contact with the tools used in the process usually remains visible. Fine condition.
Lot 28
Late Period, 664-332 BC. A glazed composition shabti with tripartite wig and false beard, hand-tools in the crossed hands and seed-bag to the shoulder, ten rows of hieroglyphs from The Book of the Dead on the body, plain dorsal pillar and base. 165 grams, 17cm (6 3/4"). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019); acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils. Very fine condition. [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions website.]
Lot 581
Classic Period, 5th-7th century AD. A carved alabaster mask depicting a naturalistic human face, probably a dignitary or ruler with almond-shaped eyes, open mouth with thin lips, long ears with drilled lobes, broad nose with drilled nostrils; nicely worn from years of handling; natural cracks, inclusions and ancient deposits; two drilled holes on the reverse. See Berrin, K. and Pasztory, E., Teotihuacán: Art from the City of Gods, London and New York, Thames and Hudson, 1993; see Matos Moctezuma, E., Teotihuacán, New York, Rizzoli International, 1990. 200 grams, 10cm (4"). From the private collection of Mrs Maureen Ogle, Coarsegold, California, USA; acquired from a geologist, circa 2008; previously in a west coast collection, since the 1980s; ex Los Angeles collection, acquired in the 1970s-1980s, thence by descent; believed to have been acquired in Mexico, circa 1950s-1960s. The mask would have been created using hand tools; weathering and handling have eroded most of the original tool marks; no signs of modern tool marks or applied patina were found when the item was examined under a microscope. It is smaller than life-size and was probably originally intended for use in a burial ritual; the drilled holes on the reverse indicate that the mask could have been worn as a necklace or in ritual contexts. Fine condition.
Lot 165
Dated circa 2031 BC. A rectangular clay tablet inscribed with 221 lines of Sumerian cuneiform for a monthly list of activities involving copper; accompanied by a copy of a signed scholarly note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Clay Tablet 170 x 171 mm, inscribed with a total of 221 lines of Sumerian Cuneiform in 10 columns five on each side. The upper right-hand comer is missing, and the lower right-hand portion is composed of two pieces rejoined with some loss of surface at the joints. However, the greater part of the tablet remains, and is well preserved, being written in a clear scribal hand. This is an administrative document from the town of Umma, in the far south of Sumer, being dated to the 7th year of Shu - Sin, fourth king of the Third Dynasty of Ur, e. 2031 B.C. It is a monthly list of activities involving copper, being dated to the 20 month of the year (April/ May by our calendar"). At this time Sumer was bureaucratically run by the central government, and the government dominated many aspects of the economy. Thus metalworking, which depended on imports of ore, was centrally run. The craftsmen were provided with the materials, and they produced the tools and weapons needed for the workers army. But everything had to be recorded in writing, and this document lists the large number of individual small tablets written during this month recording so many of this or that tool of copper, and the name of the responsible person written on the tablet. It is not stated whether these documents record the receipt of finished tools from the craftsmen who made them, or the issue of tools to craftsmen who needed them for daily use. In the ancient world this was too well known to be recorded. Obviously both kinds of documents must have existed, so until there is much more known it is best to leave this matter open. The tablet attests to the vast amount of organised activity in Sumer at this time.

First, the numerical system used allows the simple numerals such as 1, 2 etc to be either 1, 2 or 60, 120 and I in the lack of any summing up of figures of this type, there is often uncertainty, and our choice of 1 or 60 is always open to reconsideration. Secondly, the professions of the men named as on the documents suggest recipients of tools rather than makers of them in most cases, but not in the case of the smiths. These two points illustrate the amount of work and study needed to gain all the information contained in this text. It is a mine of information, but in need of deep research.' 1.3 kg, 17 x 17cm (6 3/4 x 6 3/4").

Paul Getty Museum, 2017, for discussion. 229 grams, 21cm (8 1/4"). From a private Belgium collection, formed in the 1990s; ex diplomat M.I. Polak collection; acquired in the 1960s-1990s; previously in a private European collection, acquired 1950s-1960s; thence by decent; formerly in a Spanish collection, acquired before 1950s. Archaeological investigations have revealed that Moche cities were governed by warrior-priest figures, as attested on their pottery. Only kings or other high-status individuals wore such adornments. Pre-Columbian metalworkers excelled in their craftsmanship. Repoussé is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side. There is no loss of metal in the process and the surface remains continuous. Direct contact with the metalworking tools is often visible in the end result. Fine condition.
