LATE ROMAN GOLD AND GLASS RING - EX CHRISTIE'S
Est: £2,500 - £5,000
Ca. 200-400 AD. A beautiful gold ring with a circular band made of coiled beaded wires, flared shoulders, and a round bezel with blue glass inlay encircled by a coiled crown setting. As in many ancient societies, jewellery was an important social marker used to demonstrate wealth. As a result of the expansion of the Roman Empire, Roman jewellery became more and more elaborate in its designs and materials used, such as precious and semi-precious gemstones. Roman jewellery often reflected the culture the Romans came into contact with, and can be viewed as a testament to the prosperity and power of the Roman Empire. The most popular type of Roman jewellery were rings, as Romans of Imperial times enjoyed to wear large rings, extravagantly decorated with cameos or engraved precious stones. From the Roman Republic onwards, it became customary for all the senators, chief magistrates, and the equites to wear gold rings, known in Latin as 'annuli aurei', as a way to distinguish themselves from the mass of the people. Excellent condition; the item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. It also comes with a gemological and historical report by an independent specialist Anna Rogers. To find out more about Roman rings and jewellery production in general, see Higgins, R. (1980). Greek and Roman jewellery. London: Methuen. Size: D: 17.35mm / US: 7 / UK: O; 4.2g Provenance: From the collection of a gentleman based in London; formerly in a private collection (Eastern Europe) acquired in1975; Published: Christie's, London, 14 April 2011, lot 361.

Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A finely carved agate cameo depicting the head of Medusa in a beautiful gold setting - oval in form with engraved zigzag border and an integral suspension loop.

Size (cameo): 0.875" H (2.2 cm); 1.5" H (3.8 cm) including gold setting; 2.75" H (7 cm) on included custom stand; weight: 11.1 grams How ironic that the sculptor created an agate version of this mythical Gorgon monster with writhing serpents in her wavy coiffure whose mere gaze could transform onlookers to stone!

Etrusco-Corinthian Polychrome Amphora, ex-Christie's
Est: $70,000 - $100,000
Ancient Greece, Corinth, Etrusco-Corinthian (Italo-Corinthian) culture, ca. late 7th century BCE. A stunning example of an Etrusco-Corinthian amphora, wheel-thrown from pottery, that exhibits expert stylization and a sophisticated decorative motif. The sizable vessel features a bulky, inverted piriform body atop a thick, flared foot, a gently sloped shoulder that tapers to form the cylindrical neck, a dense rim, and a pair of slender handles arching from upper neck to shoulder. Covered in a cream-hued ground, the body features several decorative bands across the exterior surfaces: 2 bands of dense crosshatching enclosing a repeating series of cresting waves, black-and-red bands along the neck, and white pigment beneath the rim. The upper shoulder bears red-winged griffins embroiled in a tense confrontation, their tongues dangling boastfully from gaping jaws, with a large rosette in between their fit bodies and several smaller rosettes in the surrounding spaces. Size: 16.1" Diameter x 24" H (40.9 cm x 61 cm) A griffin is a mythological creature with a lion's body, the beak of an eagle as well as its wings. They were famous for guarding a treasure comprising of large amounts of gold in the mountains of Scythia. The griffins were also famed to be in conflict with the one eyes Arimaspoi who sought to steal the mountains of gold the griffins guarded. The Corinthian style evolved from the earlier Geometric style. Surfaces were traditionally organized into horizontal bands, with an emphasis on repeated patterns, as well as an attractive play between light and dark. The Corinthian potters elected to expand the bands encircling the vessels, and fill them with both abstract, non-figural design motifs and zoomorphic images. On occasion they also included anthropomorphic motifs. Cf. The Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1924.872.

Egyptian Early Dynastic Diorite Jar, ex Christie's
Est: $7,000 - $10,000
Ancient Egypt, Early Dynastic Period to Old Kingdom, 2nd to 3rd Dynasty, ca. 2890 to 2613 BCE. This is a large and gorgeous stone jar, carved from a mottled diorite. The conical, squat vessel rests on a flat base, and the thick walls create a broad shoulder and a disk rim that is undercut. Unpierced or false lug handles flank the shoulder, indicating this probably was not utilitarian, but funerary or ceremonial. Such jars were intended to be filled with offerings and left as votives at temples or shrines devoted to specific deities. The interior is well hollowed out, conforming in shape to the outer contour and is unpolished, leaving multiple horizontal grooves as evidence of the marks left by the tools used to work the piece. The stone itself is a gorgeous speckled black and white hue, and the hardness of diorite made it notoriously difficult to carve with ancient tools. Size: 5.8" Diameter x 3" H (14.7 cm x 7.6 cm) For a similar example please see the Metropolitan Museum of Arts website, accession number: 24.7.5 This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world's largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques. Provenance: ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA; ex-Galleria Delvecchio, Ontario, Canada, 2014; ex-Christie's, New York "Antiquities" auction (sale 2056, December 9, 2008, lot 2); ex-Billy Jamieson (1954-2011) collection; ex-Gustave Jequier (1868-1946) collection; authenticated by Gayle Bibson, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Large Costa Rican Stone Figure - ex Christie's
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, Atlantic Watershed Period V, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. Skillfully carved from a single piece of volcanic stone, a standing male figure, depicted in the nude with his hands on his hips and his head facing upward toward the celestial realm. Though nude with his genitalia and spine well delineated, he is adorned by what appear to be either body scarifications, tattoos, and/or beaded strands. His visage presents with coffee bean shaped eyes, a triangular nose, slightly parted lips, and looped ears ideal for adorning with feathers, shells, or beaded ornaments. All is topped by a mohawk-like coiffure shaved on the sides and comprised of three lobed sections, each one incised with geometric plaited patterns. A special piece, replete with impressive artistry and technique. Size: 13.5" W x 24.25" H (34.3 cm x 61.6 cm); 24.625" H (62.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Kashan Turquoise Glazed Pottery Bowl - ex Christie's
Est: $1,500 - $2,250
Ancient Near East, Kashan, ca. early 13th century CE. A delicate turquoise-glazed bowl with deep, flared sides, a diminutive raised foot, and thin-line black motifs. These include a horizontal band of pseudo-Kufic script on the interior just below the rim. In tondo is a symbol that could be interpreted as a blooming plant or a bird spreading its wings; this symbol is repeated three times, evenly spaced, around the exterior. The turquoise glaze is thick and pools in the interior as if the vessel dried at a slight angle; it also pools thickly where it has flowed down the exterior sides. The lower body and foot are unglazed.

Bactrian Banded Alabaster Bowl
Est: $3,000 - $4,500
Central Asia, modern day Pakistan / Afghanistan, Bactria (Bactria-Margiana/BMAC), ca. 3rd to 2nd millennium BCE. A gorgeous shallow dish carved from alabaster on a small circular textured base with thin walls expanding outward to a rounded body and flared rim. Naturally adorned in bands of caramel, sand, buff, and cream, this stunning bowl boasts a lovely iridescence in the sunlight. Alabaster, a light-colored, calcareous stone from the Iranian Plateau, has strong connections in ancient western and central Asia to religion. For example, in the site of Kultepe-Kanes, a huge burial mound, there were many disc-shaped alabaster idols, naked alabaster goddesses, and lion figures. We also know that alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward. A dish like this one was likely made to be placed into a tomb to hold offerings. A beautiful vessel from early Bactria! Size: 6.26" W x 3.125" H (15.9 cm x 7.9 cm) Provenance: Paul Henderson collection, Los Angeles, California USA from the private Oxford collection; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A finely preserved, hollow-molded terracotta effigy of Priapus, the god of fertility as well as animal and agricultural fertility. Priapus stands with his left hand at his waist and his right outstretched towards the palm tree border, wears a flowing tunic across his upper body, and presents his bulbous phallus that protrudes from between his bare legs.

Very Fine Bactrian Stone Pillar Idol, ex Christie's
Est: $3,600 - $5,400
Ancient Central Asia or Asia Minor, Bactria, ca. late 3rd to early 2nd millennium BCE. A beautiful example of a pillar idol (sometimes called a column or columnar idol), hand-carved and meticulously smoothed from mottled black stone with white and beige veining. The body of the idol is characteristically minimal and highly-abstract with an elongated hourglass form, and the lower end flares out gently to form the wide, planar base. Both the upper and lower faces bear shallow, horizontal grooves across the center. An intriguing example of abstract artistry from the ancient world! Size: 5.375" W x 11.5" H (13.7 cm x 29.2 cm). Stone idols like this example are known in a variety of fascinating forms throughout the pre-literate ancient world. From the truly abstract kilia-type figures that are barely recognizable as human to the exaggerated feminine shapes of so-called "Venus" figures, people in the past, as today, had a clear desire to portray human forms and did not feel constrained by naturalism. A stylistically-similar example of a slightly-larger size hammered for $11,250 at Christie's, New York Antiquities auction (sale 2007, June 4, 2008, lot 69): https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/ancient-art-antiquities/a-bactrian-stone-ritual-object-circa-late-5078804-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=5078804&sid=c215dd00-7518-481b-8184-986e1b6f1fd4 Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Christie's, New York Antiquities auction (sale 2056, December 9, 2008, part of lot 46); ex-anonymous sale, Christie's, New York Antiquities auction (sale 1679, June 16, 2006, part of lot 17); ex-private American collection, acquired in the 1990s All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Colima Redware Seated Shaman Vessel, ex Christie's
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A wonderful example of a hand-built and highly burnished redware pottery shaman seated with bent legs upon a bulbous posterior. The nude figure has a conical phallus between his thighs and a form-fitting tunic incised with frontal concentric circular motifs as well as diamond and linear motifs on the verso. He wears a radiating necklace and holds a small bowl in one hand and a conical instrument in the other, perhaps as a mortar and pestle for hallucinogenic drug preparation. His elongated head bears an expressive coiffure with a triangular nose, inlaid discoid shell eyes beneath thin brows, tall ears, and full lips, all beneath a crested headdress with an incised zigzagging brim. A broad spout curves upwards from the back, and the entire figure is enveloped in red-brown slip. Size: 9.3" L x 9.8" W x 14.6" H (23.6 cm x 24.9 cm x 37.1 cm) Colima, located on Mexico's southwestern coast, was during this time part of the shaft tomb culture, along with neighbors to the north in Jalisco and Nayarit. In this culture, the dead were buried down shafts - 3 to 20 meters deep - that were dug vertically or near vertically through the volcanic tuff that makes up the geology of the region. The base of the shaft would open into one or more horizontal chambers with a low ceiling. These shafts were almost always dug beneath a dwelling, probably a family home, and seem to have been used as family mausoleums, housing the remains of many related individuals. This is a figure made to be placed inside those mausoleums, perhaps to mediate between the worlds of the living and the dead. A stylistically similar example of a shaman figure, depicting a hunchback of a smaller size, hammered for $52,500 at Sotheby's, New York "The Collection of Edwin & Cherie Silver" auction (November 13, 2017, lot 30). Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private Hollywood, California, USA collection; ex-Christie's, Paris "Art Africain, Oceanien et Pre-Colombien (Lot 200 -> 684)" auction (sale 5057, June 12, 2003, lot 654) All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

The vessel features a flat base with a shallow arch, a stable heel, a pointed toe, a protruding ankle bulge, a funnel mouth, and a slender handle arching between the cylindrical neck and the Achilles tendon. The 'body' of the podiatric vessel is covered in deep orange-hued slip, and the neck and handle are further adorned with black glaze. An extraordinary example of Attic pottery artistry!

Colima Redware Seated Shaman Vessel, ex Christie's
Est: $7,000 - $10,000
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A wonderful example of a hand-built and highly burnished redware pottery shaman seated with bent legs upon a bulbous posterior. The nude figure has a conical phallus between his thighs and a form-fitting tunic incised with frontal concentric circular motifs as well as diamond and linear motifs on the verso. He wears a radiating necklace and holds a small bowl in one hand and a conical instrument in the other, perhaps as a mortar and pestle for hallucinogenic drug preparation. His elongated head bears an expressive coiffure with a triangular nose, inlaid discoid shell eyes beneath thin brows, tall ears, and full lips, all beneath a crested headdress with an incised zigzagging brim. A broad spout curves upwards from the back, and the entire figure is enveloped in red-brown slip. Size: 9.3" L x 9.8" W x 14.6" H (23.6 cm x 24.9 cm x 37.1 cm) Colima, located on Mexico's southwestern coast, was during this time part of the shaft tomb culture, along with neighbors to the north in Jalisco and Nayarit. In this culture, the dead were buried down shafts - 3 to 20 meters deep - that were dug vertically or near vertically through the volcanic tuff that makes up the geology of the region. The base of the shaft would open into one or more horizontal chambers with a low ceiling. These shafts were almost always dug beneath a dwelling, probably a family home, and seem to have been used as family mausoleums, housing the remains of many related individuals. This is a figure made to be placed inside those mausoleums, perhaps to mediate between the worlds of the living and the dead. A stylistically similar example of a shaman figure, depicting a hunchback of a smaller size, hammered for $52,500 at Sotheby's, New York "The Collection of Edwin & Cherie Silver" auction (November 13, 2017, lot 30).

Large Roman Glass Jug w/ Trail Handle, ex Christie's
Est: $1,400 - $2,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A gorgeous and sizable bottle that is free blown from translucent glass of a soft olive green hue. The vessel is defined by a slightly concave base with a smooth pontil scar, a tall, cylindrical body with a bulging shoulder, a tapered neck topped by a funnel-form mouth and a collared rim, and a thick trail handle that arches from rim to shoulder. This vessel was clearly meant as a utilitarian container for storing large amounts of finer liquids; however, its elegant form, attractive coloration, and layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence make for an aesthetically pleasing example of fine Roman artistry!

Tang Pottery Horse & Female Rider - ex Christie's
Est: $3,000 - $6,000
East Asia, China, Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 906 CE. A painted terracotta horse and rider, the equestrian figure a female dressed in an elegant headdress and clothing and holding her arms up as if pulling on reins, the pair upon a rectangular base. The horse is standing upon all four hooves implying the rider has brought her noble steed to a halt; however, the horse's head is turned to one side, suggesting animated motion. The pair are glazed with white slip and contrasting red and black details. A special example from the Tang Dynasty displaying exceptional artistry and technique as well as offering layers of iconographical meaning (for more on this, see extended description below). Size: 9.875" L x 3.875" W x 13.375" H (25.1 cm x 9.8 cm x 34 cm) During the Tang Dynasty, the horse served as both a symbol of imperial stability that engendered bountiful trade and prosperity for the expanding empire and the reward of military exploits to the West. The most cherished horses were raised in the western kingdom of Ferghana and known as "blood-sweating horses". These were delivered as tribute to the reigning emperor. In general, for the ancient Chinese, horses were a sign of wealth. The female figure demonstrates the hallmarks of the Tang Dynasty style, with her naturalistically rendered, softly contoured round face embellished by meticulously detailed features, her flowing robe with sleeves cascading over her form, as well as her dramatic updo adorned by an elaborate headdress. Being slender, this lady is likely an early Tang female figure; by the mid 8th century CE more voluptuous bodies with full faces and hairstyles described as cloudlike by experts in the field were in favor. Scholars have attributed this shift to Emperor Xuanzong's infatuation with a rather full-figured concubine, the legendary beauty named Yang Guifei. This said, female figures of this body type have been discovered from eras previous to Xuanzong; hence, this embrace of the full figure may simply reflect a change in ideal body types. (For further reading, see Fontein, Jan, Tung Wu, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 1973. Unearthing China's Past, p. 175.)

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A finely carved agate cameo depicting the head of Medusa in a beautiful gold setting - oval in form with engraved zigzag border and an integral suspension loop. The Medusa cameo presents finely delineated details in relief - a beautiful face with snakes and harpy wings in her hair. Total weight: 11.1 grams Size: cameo measures .875" H (2.2 cm); 1.5" H (3.8 cm) including gold setting; 2.75" H (7 cm) on included custom stand. How ironic that the sculptor created an agate version of this mythical Gorgon monster with writhing serpents in her wavy coiffure whose mere gaze could transform onlookers to stone! Throughout the ages, Medusa has been immortalized in countless works of art. Some of you may be familiar with the dramatic interpretations by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Benevenuto Cellini, Gianlorenzo Bernini, Rene Lalique, Antonio Canova, and the list goes on.

Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A wonderful, mold-formed faience amulet depicting Ptah, the ancient creator god of Memphis and patron deity of all craftsmen. Ptah stands in mummiform with fused legs and has broad shoulders, a pierced dorsal pillar, and holds with both hands a tall was-scepter surmounted with a stylized animal head. Atop the front of the legs is a djed pillar - a symbol of endurance and stability - and an elaborate wesekh-collar drapes in front of and behind the chest. His petite head features ovoid eyes, a narrow nose, and cupped ears, all beneath a tight-fitting cap. Stunning blue-hued glaze envelops the entire composition, and darker, cobalt-blue glaze accentuates areas of the chest and head. Size: 0.5" W x 1.7" H (1.3 cm x 4.3 cm); 2.375" H (6 cm) on included custom stand.

Attic Black-Figure Tripod Pyxis, Ex Christie's
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Ancient Greece, Athens, ca. mid 6th century BCE. A very special ceramic pyxis, its bowl-shaped receptacle upraised and supported by three slab-built legs with each face presenting a figural scene created via the black-figure technique - one featuring a pair of roosters facing one another, another with a sphinx comprised of the body of a lion, head of a woman, eagle wings, and according to some scholars a serpent's tail, and the third with a standing human behind a horse with a bird in flight behind the pair. Above these and encircling the rim of the vessel is a decorative dotted and incised frieze. Size: 5.5" W x 3.25" H (14 cm x 8.3 cm) The iconography of this piece is very rich. According to legend, the gods sent the Sphinx to plague the town of Thebes as punishment for an ancient crime. This female monster preyed on its youths and devoured anyone who could not solve her riddle. King Kreon (Creon), the regent of Thebes, offered the throne to whomever could destroy her. Oedipus (Oidipous) rose to the challenge, and when he solved the Sphinx's riddle, she dramatically cast herself off the mountainside. Sphinxes were quite popular in ancient art - featured on grave stelae above the tombs of men who died in youth. When found adorning archaic vase paintings, they sometimes are included in a procession of animals and fabulous hybrid creatures such as bird-bodied sirens. Roosters were very popular in Greek visual culture as well. According to mythology, a rooster was standing beside Leto, who was pregnant by Zeus, at the moment she gave birth to Apollo and Artemis. By extension, the rooster is dedicated to solar gods and lunar goddesses. In addition, the rooster is an attribute of Apollo. The ancients would also ritually sacrifice a rooster to Asclepios, son of Apollo and god of medicine, because the rooster heralded the soul of the dead and guided it to the Otherworld. Asclepios by extension is also the god who, using his healing powers, brought the deceased back to life on earth.

Roman Pavonazzetto Marble Dacian Captive, ex Christie's
Est: $30,000 - $50,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. An expertly carved statue of a bound prisoner, dressed in a long tunic-like garment and trousers, with arms behind the back where they meet a pillar. The figure appears to be standing in contrapposto as the left knee is bent to indicate a weight shift. Despite the fact that the head and lower legs are missing, this pose with arms behind the back suggests that the figure represents a prisoner, perhaps one of the Dacians captured by Trajan's army in what we refer to today as the Carpathian mountains. A spectacular statue of a captive barbarian, and the Pavonazzetto marble (a stunning variety of Carrara marble) is inherently beautiful presenting purple and plum red veining throughout. See more about the historical context of this piece as well as the rarity of Pavonazzetto marble below. Size: 8.5" L x 9" W x 20" H (21.6 cm x 22.9 cm x 50.8 cm); 24.25" H (61.6 cm) on included custom stand. According to Andrew Curry who wrote a National Geographic article that analyzed the destruction delineated on the Trajan Column wrote, "Near the top of the column is a glimpse of the denouement: a village put to the torch, Dacians fleeing, a province empty of all but cows and goats. . . The two wars must have killed tens of thousands. A contemporary claimed that Trajan took 500,000 prisoners, bringing some 10,000 to Rome to fight in the gladiatorial games that were staged for 123 days in celebration." Curry interviewed archaeologist Gelu Florea who has excavated the site of the Dacian's defeat. Florea stated, "Everything was dismantled by the Romans. There wasn't a building remaining in the entire fortress. It was a show of powerwe have the means, we have the power, we are the bosses." (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/trajan-column/article.html) This is an ex-Christie's piece (ex-Christie's, New York "Antiquities" auction - sale 14356, October 25, 2017, lot 51 - listed with estimate of $60,000 to $90,000). According to Christie's description, "Pavonazzetto (Marmo Phrygium in Latin) is a fine-grained marble with purplish veins and inclusions, which historically was imported to Rome from Docimium (located in central Phrygia in Asia Minor). Due to the quarries of this distinctive marble being of considerable distance from navigable waterways, pavonazzetto was extremely expensive in antiquity. Despite this, or perhaps as a result, pavonazzetto was particularly fashionable from the 1st Century A.D. onwards, when it was most commonly employed for the carving of supporting statues representing an Oriental type of figure dressed in foreign costume, as seen in the present example. The extremities were frequently finished in another material, typically white marble, as evinced here by the shoulder cavity which was designed for the insertion of now-missing separately-made head. The present example likely depicts a Dacian captive, and may take its inspiration from colossal statues which decorated Trajan's Forum in Rome (see M. De Nuccio and L. Ungaro, I marmi colorati della Roma imperiale, pp. 333-340, nos. 31-40)."

Over Life-Size Roman Bronze Statue Leg, ex Christie's
Est: $30,000 - $50,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A cast bronze left leg from a more than life-size statue of male - likely an emperor or a god given the size. Indeed, this leg is truly over-sized. (I am not going out on a limb here - no pun intended!) The leg is slightly bent at the knee, with a very well defined calf muscle and is naturalistically rendered from mid-thigh all the way to the toes on the foot. Not only is the musculature convincing, but the leg is so veristic that the skeletal framework within the flesh is suggested - kneecap, ankle, and heel bones. Furthermore, the foot presents a high arch as well as articulated knuckles and nails of the toes. An impressive and quite rare bronze sculptural work from ancient Rome. Size: 33.375" H (84.8 cm); 35.5" H (90.2 cm) on included custom stand. In the Classical World, bronze was the preferred material for dedicatory sculpture. Due to its high tensile strength, bronze enabled a sculptor to create figures with impressive poses. Stone, on the other hand, presented more limitations. Unfortunately, though many bronze sculptures were created during antiquity, most have vanished with far fewer surviving in comparison to their marble counterparts, as bronze sculptures were frequently melted down, so that the bronze could be reused. Because of this, surviving Roman bronzes like this example are very special. In addition, life-size or monumental statues were built via the lost-wax casting method and sections were soldered together to create the figure. Due to this production method, when statues fell during battle or natural disasters, these joins were weak points. Hence, most surviving bronze sculptural works are fragments rather than intact statues. Cf. a bronze statue in the museum of Fine Arts, Houston, published in Herbert Hoffman, Ten Centuries that Shaped the West (Houston, 1970), cat. No. 111, pp. 233-242; a bronze Septimius Severus in the Cyprus Museum, Nicosia, illustrated in Cornelius C.

Published Greek Bronze Handle w/ Lion - ex Christie's
Est: $3,000 - $6,000
Greece, Classical Period, ca. 480 to 450 BCE. A handsome cast bronze handle from an oinochoe terminating in a skillfully rendered lion head at the lower end - wild feline's visage presented in frontal view with perky rounded ears, almond-shaped eyes, a pronounced snout, and a thick, wavy, radiating mane. The upper end presents a spool-shaped thumbrest. Lions are often the stars of ancient Greek stories, such as the Nemean lion, and it is probable that the sculptor of this piece saw lions in real life: Aristotle and Herodotus tell us that lions lived in the Balkans and Greece until around the 1st century BCE! Size: 4.375" H (11.1 cm); 5.75" H (14.6 cm) on included custom stand. In the classical world, lions symbolized power, wealth, and might. They were famously featured in many ancient myths, perhaps the most famous being that of Hercules (Greek Herakles) slaying the Nemean lion for his first labor. That lion's fur was believed to be impenetrable to attacks since according to legend it was made of gold and its claws were far sharper than swords with the power to slice through armor. In the end, Hercules defeated the lion by strangling it and wore its skin. Lions were also favorite iconography for buildings, coins, and statues in the ancient world. Examples include the Lion Gate to the Citadel of Mycenae, the Terrace of the Lions on the island of Delos, and the lion hunt mosaic from Pella featuring Alexander engaged in a lion hunt.

Pair of Ancient Celtic Glass Bracelets, ex Christie's
Est: $5,500 - $8,250
Western Europe, Celtic peoples, ca. 2nd century BCE. A stunning - and I mean STUNNING - pair of matching Celtic glass bracelets - each one a convex band mold-formed to attain an attractive design comprised of five outcurved, contiguous tubular bands - the centermost raised the highest while the others are gradually set back. The two bands surrounding the center band are ridged - presenting a rhythmic fretted pattern, while the other three bands are smooth. The color of the glass is a golden yellow; however, gorgeous iridescence has added highlights of silver, pink, and green. Adding more interest to the pair, their interiors are painted yellow. Size: larger measures 3.375" in diameter (8.6 cm); opening measures 2.875" in diameter (7.3 cm); 1.375" H (3.5 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Roman Bronze Weight of Fortuna on Lion - ex Christie's
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A fantastically preserved cast bronze weight depicting the goddess Fortuna (Cybele) on the back of a seated lion. With one hand, she raises her himation to reveal her feet; with her other, she cradles a multitude of fruit, creating a picture of abundance. Fortuna was one of the most common deities worshipped in a domestic context, and she is often depicted, as she is here, with her cornucopia, in order to bring prosperity and luck. The leaping lion she rests against has a fierce face, with a thick mane and an open, snarling mouth with projecting tongue. A tall loop is through the top of the goddess's head, allowing this to be hung from the crossbar of a statera. Size: 3" W x 5.3" H (7.6 cm x 13.5 cm); 8.25" H (21 cm) on included custom stand. A steelyard (statera) balance consisted of a rectangular beam with rounded, conical terminals, two short, hanging chains ending in large hooks for hanging goods, and a sliding loop with a dangling chain for attaching a weight like this one. The face of the beam was sectioned using incised lines to mark the weight. Steelyard balances were used to weigh loads by moving a counterweight along the beam until it balanced and then reading the incised numeral. Vitruvius describes them and their function in his De Architectura, Book X, 3-4.

Roman Agate Medusa Cameo & Gold Pendant, ex-Christie's
Est: $5,000 - $7,000
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A finely carved agate cameo depicting the head of Medusa in a beautiful gold setting - oval in form with engraved zigzag border and an integral suspension loop. The Medusa cameo presents finely delineated details in relief - a beautiful face with snakes and harpy wings in her hair. Total weight: 11.1 grams Size: cameo measures .875" H (2.2 cm); 1.5" H (3.8 cm) including gold setting; 2.75" H (7 cm) on included custom stand. How ironic that the sculptor created an agate version of this mythical Gorgon monster with writhing serpents in her wavy coiffure whose mere gaze could transform onlookers to stone! Throughout the ages, Medusa has been immortalized in countless works of art. Some of you may be familiar with the dramatic interpretations by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Benevenuto Cellini, Gianlorenzo Bernini, Rene Lalique, Antonio Canova, and the list goes on. These artists of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical eras were inspired by ancient renderings of Medusa like this example.

Very Fine Bactrian Stone Pillar Idol, ex Christie's
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Ancient Central Asia or Asia Minor, Bactria, ca. late 3rd to early 2nd millennium BCE. A beautiful example of a pillar idol (sometimes called a column or columnar idol), hand-carved and meticulously smoothed from mottled black stone with white and beige veining. The body of the idol is characteristically minimal and highly-abstract with an elongated hourglass form, and the lower end flares out gently to form the wide, planar base. Both the upper and lower faces bear shallow, horizontal grooves across the center. An intriguing example of abstract artistry from the ancient world! Size: 5.375" W x 11.5" H (13.7 cm x 29.2 cm). Stone idols like this example are known in a variety of fascinating forms throughout the pre-literate ancient world. From the truly abstract kilia-type figures that are barely recognizable as human to the exaggerated feminine shapes of so-called "Venus" figures, people in the past, as today, had a clear desire to portray human forms and did not feel constrained by naturalism.

Pair of Ancient Celtic Glass Bracelets, ex Christie's
Est: $6,000 - $9,000
Western Europe, Celtic peoples, ca. 2nd century BCE. A stunning - and I mean STUNNING - pair of matching Celtic glass bracelets - each one a convex band mold-formed to attain an attractive design comprised of five outcurved, contiguous tubular bands - the centermost raised the highest while the others are gradually set back. The two bands surrounding the center band are ridged - presenting a rhythmic fretted pattern, while the other three bands are smooth. The color of the glass is a golden yellow; however, gorgeous iridescence has added highlights of silver, pink, and green. Adding more interest to the pair, their interiors are painted yellow. Size: larger measures 3.375" in diameter (8.6 cm); opening measures 2.875" in diameter (7.3 cm); 1.375" H (3.5 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Etruscan Column Krater, Micali Painter, ex Christie's
Est: $20,000 - $30,000
Central Italy, Tarquinia, Etruscan, attributed to the Micali Painter or one of his close followers, ca. 500 to 490 BCE. A magnificent column krater, finely painted in the black-figure technique, and presenting a striking form with columnar double handles rising from the shoulder to a flat projecting lip. Side A features a dramatic encounter between Herakles and a centaur - possibly Nessus, the son of Centauros who was killed by Herakles AND whose poisoned blood ironically killed Herakles. (Read more about this story in the extended description below.) Nessus is depicted as a centaur with the upper body of a man and the lower form of a horse with a long equine tail; he stands in profile facing Herakles and holds his hands behind his back, twisting and uprooting a tree in defense. Herakles stands in composite profile with his muscular chest facing forward, legs, arms, and head in profile, wielding his large club in a threatening manner over his head, nude save his lion-skin cape tied around his neck. Size: 12.75" W handlespan x 13.125" H (32.4 cm x 33.3 cm) Side B depicts two confronting warriors, both nude although one has an animal skin over his outstretched left arm. The figures confront one another brandishing their swords above their heads, a scabbard in added red pigment fastened to their hips, and with raised Corinthian helmets so as to face one another eye to eye. Note that the figure to the left is moving toward the left and simultaneously looking backward, with a tree beside him. All of the figural iconography is beautifully delineated in black figure with details that are either incised or delineated with added/fugitive red and white pigments. The story of the Tunic of Nessus tells of Herakles' demise. Nessus, having carried Herakles' wife Deianeira across the river, made unwelcome advances on her. Witnessing this from across the river, Heracles aimed a hydra-poisoned arrow at Nessus' chest. On his deathbed, Nessus informed Deianeira that his blood would guarantee that Heracles would be loyal to her - all the while knowing that his blood was infected by hydra poison. Some time later, when Deianeira grew to mistrust Heracles due to his involvement with Iole, she soaked a robe in the centaur's blood and gave it to her husband. Herakles went off to a get together with other heroes, and in the meantime Deianeira accidentally spilled some of Nessos' blood on the floor. It began to produce some fumes, and she instantly understood that it was poisonous. By the time she sent her messenger with this news to Herakles, it was too late. In addition to the figural iconography on this magnificent vessel, decorative elements adorn the lip and field of the piece. Adorning the outward facing side of the extended lip is a band of ivy, and the flat top of the rim is decorated with parallel diagonal hatching. Framing the left and right side of each figural panel are decorative borders featuring a staggered dot motif. The column krater, a large vessel used for mixing wine and water, gets its name from the column-like handles. It is said that the form first emerged with Corinthian examples in the late 7th century BCE. Athenian potters created them quite regularly from the first half of the 6th century until the third quarter of the 5th century BCE.
