Two Prehistoric Flint Axeheads,A mesolithic tranchet axe/adze circa 9000-4000 BC, some damage at the cutting edge, 153mm/350gTogether with a smaller Mesolthic/Neolithic flint axe, 123mm/117.5g

An early 20th century ice axe, with adze and serrated pick to a wooden shaft with spiked ferrule 107cm (42in) By repute, this axe was gifted to one William Meadows by Violet Oates - sister of Captain Lawrence Oates of Gestingthorpe Hall - as a thank you for his assistance in moving her to Long Melford in 1947. Will Meadows was born at Stable Cottage on the Gestingthorpe estate and later worked as a handyman and driver for the Oates family. At the age of 92 and with no immediate family, Meadows gave the items to his friend and then neighbour, Peter Grant, in 1978.  At the time, he informed Mr Grant that the ice axe had been to the Antarctic in 1910 with the British Antarctic Expedition.Our vendor purchased both this and the following lot from Mr Grant in 2017. However, Captain Oates’ great-nephew, Bryan Oates, does not believe these items were recorded amongst Oates’ effects by his mother Caroline, who made extensive inventories of her son’s effects after his death.

Oceania, French Polynesia, Marquesas Islands, Enata peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A fabulous u'u club, hand-carved from iron wood and meticulously polished to a smooth textured feel. The classic form of this example is comprised of a cylindrical shaft with a narrow vertical slit on one side leading upwards to a highly-stylized T-shaped paddle with a round, lightly-concave top. The neck of the paddle displays a set of highly-abstract janiform faces with dense carved motifs surrounding the lips and cheeks. Each side of the striking head depicts a pair of stylized human faces within radiating coronas as well as a third unadorned face below. Finely carved with raised decorations on both sides with rich, dark-brown matte patina. Size: 5.125" W x 44.2" H (13 cm x 112.3 cm); 44.7" H (113.5 cm) on included custom stand.Wooden war clubs are common throughout Polynesia, but the face-shape is distinctive to the Marquesas, where the native name for a war club is "u'u." The motif seen on this club and ones like it are found throughout Marquesan carvings, including on wooden bowls and ear ornaments. They also would have been mirrored on the tattooed skin of the warrior who wielded the club, instantly recognizable to members of the culture as having a particular regional and personal identity.Wood carving in the Marquesas Islands is a practice undertaken by many of the local master craftsmen, who are known as "tuhuna." The tuhuna are not only adept at wood carving, but are also skilled at tattoo art and adze manufacturing. Marquesan wooden crafts are considered among the finest in French Polynesia - they are highly sought after and of consistently high quality.For a similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1979.206.1471: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/313659A similar example hammered for $68,500 at Sotheby's, New York "African, Oceanic and Pre-Columbian Art Including Property from the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation" Auction (May 13, 2011, lot 315): http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2011/african-oceanic-and-precolumbian-art-n08749/lot.315.htmlAnother similar example hammered for EUR 145,500 ($171,504.34) at Christie's, Paris (sale 13638, June 23, 2016, lot 45): https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/sculptures-statues-figures/massue-uu-iles-marquises-epoque-1804-183-6004125-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=6004125&sid=ed263db5-8785-43c1-8bd2-55dc86a1b60c Provenance: private Newport Beach, California, USA collection; ex-William Cody collection, Palm Springs, California, USA Condition: Minor abrasions to handle, pommel, and striking head, with softening to some finer details, wear to some raised areas, and light encrustations within some recessed areas, otherwise intact and excellent.
