Lot 807
Western Han Dynasty, 206 BC-220 AD. A bronze Hu wine vessel with basal ring, piriform body and socket mouth with applied loops in the form of cast taotie lion masks to the shoulders; the applied gold sheet overlay to exterior surfaces showing intricate incised ornament with, from the top, scrolls to rim; four narrow friezes of figures (many with bows, some lying on the ground, possibly a battle scene), also with canopies, birds and foliage; a raised double band with scrolls; a tall frieze of figures, platforms, canopies and birds (within which are affixed the two side loops); a central raised double band with scrolls; a tall frieze of three panels showing sea battles each with two ships, figures (some aboard the ships with long spears, others floating in the water) and fish divided by groups of figures ashore, some with spears; a lower raised double band with scrolls; the lowermost frieze with a series of incised heart-shaped leaf emblems and finishing with the basal ring with scrolls. 2 kg, 28cm (11"). Private collection, North London; acquired in the early 1990s. The technique, whereby thin gold sheets or foils have been affixed to the plain bronze body surface, can easily be seen on this vessel as the abutments between the individual foils are now visible; the ornamentation has been incised after the gold was affixed, to great effect. Hu vessels were first produced in the Shang Period (1600-1045 BC) and are still popular today; they reached their peak of production and excellence during the Han dynasty where they are lavishly applied with gold inlay and decorated with interlace of zoomorphic and geometric patterns. They are used for holding wine that was offered during rituals for honouring the ancestors, but, in later periods, they could also be used as wedding gifts and house warming presents to bring good fortune. Very fine condition. Excessively rare.

Lot 1427
Circa 2300 BC. A baked clay cuneiform tablet with extremely small and fine cuneiform script to two broad faces and two edges. 11 grams, 29 x 25 mm (1 1/4 x 1"). Fine condition, one edge chipped. From a Californian, USA, collection; aquired 1970-1980s. This messenger tablet is accompanied by an old scholarly note which states: This was found at Jokja, the ancient Umma. It is a messenger tablet, with a list of provisions, as wine, flour, oil, etc., supposed to have been delivered to the temple messenger for the journey about the country. The messenger tablet is very rare, and always small, and the writing upon it is the very finest and best that has ever appeared. Every part of the tablet has been written upon, and the date is on one edge, about 2300 B.C. If the tablet were perfect, is value would be considerable.

Fine condition. Property of a Mayfair, London, UK, businessman; previously in an important South German collection since the beginning of the 20th century. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Cf. for another diadem of similar design and construction see an example in the Athens National Archaeological Museum, ex Helene Stathatos collection and said to be from Thessaly. Ref. Aikaterini Despini, Greek Art: Ancient Gold Jewellery, Athens, 2006 (text in English), pl.29-30, dated to the last quarter of the 4th century BC, and with further bibliography. There is a diadem of similar technique from Canosa, Southern Italy in the Tarentum Museo Archelogico Nationale, inventory number: 22.437, ref. Despini, Op. Cit. No.38, dated to circa 200 BC, and with further bibliography; for another example of similar design and construction refer to the example of a fragment of a diadem (about a third) from the Erotes Tomb, Eretria, Northern Greece, dated to the late 3d century BC, now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Inv. No. 98.798), ref. Herbert Hoffmann & Patricia F. Davidson, Greek Gold: Jewellery from the Age of Alexander, Brooklyn, 1965, p.60, no.3. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. Ancient Greek colonisation began at an early date, during the so-called Geometric period of about 900 to 700 BC, when many seminal elements of ancient Greek society were also established, such as city-states, major sanctuaries, and the Panhellenic festivals. The ancient Greeks were active seafarers seeking opportunities for trade and founding new independent cities at coastal sites across the Mediterranean Sea. By the seventh and sixth centuries BC, Greek colonies and settlements stretched all the way from western Asia Minor to southern Italy, Sicily, North Africa, and even to the coasts of southern France and Spain. Regional schools of artists exhibited a rich variety of styles and preferences at this time. Trading stations played an important role as the furthest outposts of Greek culture. Here, Greek goods, such as pottery, bronze, silver and gold vessels, olive oil, wine, and textiles, were exchanged for luxury items and exotic raw materials that were in turn worked by Greek craftsmen. After the unprecedented military campaign of Alexander the Great, more extensive trade routes were opened across Asia, extending as far as Afghanistan and the Indus River Valley. These new trade routes introduced Greek art to cultures in the East, and also exposed Greek artists to a host of artistic styles and techniques, as well as precious stones. Garnets, emeralds, rubies, and amethysts were incorporated into new types of Hellenistic jewellery, more stunning than ever before. The most important of the Black Sea colonies were Kyzikos, Sinope, Pantikapaion, and Olbia. The colonies along the shores of the northern Black Sea interacted with the local Scythian and Sarmatian peoples who prized the workmanship of the Greek goldsmiths with many examples having been found in the kurgans, or burial mounds, of the aristocracy. This diadem shows many similarities to work found in the Pontic region, as well as the diadem found with the female buried in the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, at Vergina in Greece. The gold pectoral from Thick Barrow, Dnipropetrovsk Region, Ukraine, now in the Hermitage Museum, shares many similarities in style and technique with this diadem, particularly the use of fine wires and the scrolling flowers. The closest parallel to this piece is a gold diadem from Thessaly and dating to the fourth century BC, which is now in the Getty Museum, Malibu. The use of cameos on the front of diadems seems to be particularly associated with the eastern Greek craftsmen and their patrons, with the best known example being the Sarmatian crown from Khokhlach kurgan, now in the Hermitage. The image on this cameo could well be a portrait of the original owner, a highly important individual of the Pontic aristocracy.

A large blackware ceramic guttos with broad pedestal base, discoid body, loop handle and waisted spout, ribs to the shoulder, central disc with medallion of Silenus facing; South Italian (Magna Graecia) workmanship. 313 grams, 12.5cm (5"). Very fine condition. Property of a central London gentleman; formerly in the Tony Brandon collection, London, UK; formed 1980s; collection number 12. The guttos was essentially a flask with a handle and vertical spout and was used for keeping liquids that were poured out in drips. The inclusion of the face of Silenus, a demi-god associated with Dionysus, the god of wine, would indicate that this vessel was used for wine or other liquids associated with the god or ritual feasting.
