A COPPER ALLOY 'TWIN FISH' BASIN, DONG SON CULTUREVietnam, circa 1st-2nd century AD. The deep sides rising to a broad everted rim, decorated with three ribs and two crown-shaped motifs to the sides and twin fishes to the interior. Two small loops for attachment at the foot, the base with a star shaped design within a circle. Provenance: From an old European collection. Condition: Some repair and touchups as generally expected from ancient Dong Son excavations. Losses, fissures, erosion, corrosion, and encrustations. Minor casting flaws. Overall, still very good condition, especially for such a large piece. Fine, naturally grown patina with malachite-green encrustations.Weight: 3,078 g Dimensions: Diameter 39 cm Dong Son (named for Dong Son, a village in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam) was a Bronze Age culture in ancient Vietnam centered in the Red River Valley of northern Vietnam from 1000 BC until the first century AD. Vietnamese historians attribute it to the states of Van Lang and Au Lac. Its influence spread to other parts of Southeast Asia throughout the first millennium BC. The culture long remained a mystery to western archaeologists, and it was known only through its bronze objects, many of which were taken from burial sites. Dong Son objects were exhibited in Europe for a century before their original location was even determined, and several theories and speculations over the dating methodologies of the culture continue to this day.Expert's note: The star design to the center of the base appears to be a pet motif of the Dong Son culture, commonly appearing on the famous bronze drums of this culture, including the one in this sale, no. 266.Literature comparison:Compare a related copper alloy basin, dated circa 1st-2nd century AD, in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number M.2003.226.4.東山文化雙魚銅盆越南，約一至二世紀。折沿，外壁中央有三道弦紋，平底三小足。外壁有兩個冠形圖案，盆内有雙魚紋，底足有雙圈内八角星紋。 來源：歐洲私人舊藏。 品相：有修復痕跡，與東山文化考古挖掘的預期一致。缺損、裂縫、侵蝕、腐蝕和結殼，輕微的鑄造缺陷。狀態基本良好，包漿細膩，有綠色皮殼。 重量：3,078 克 尺寸：直徑 39 厘米 東山文化是位於越南北部紅河河谷的一個鐵器時代史前文化。它約繁盛於公元前1000年到公元一世紀，它影響的區域包括東南亞其他地區乃至以及印度-馬來亞群島。對於西方考古學家來說，這個文化長期以來一直是個謎，只有通過青銅器才知道它，其中許多青銅器是從墓地挖掘出來的。東山物品在其原始位置確定之前在歐洲展出了一個世紀，關於該文化的年代測定方法的一些理論和推測一直持續到今天。東山文化最突出的文化遺產是東山銅鼓等青銅器製品，它們在東南亞和今中國南部的廣大地區都有發現。專家注釋：底座中央的星形圖案似乎是東山文化的特有的圖案，通常出現在該文化的青銅鼓上，包括本次拍賣的A MASSIVE BRONZE RAIN DRUM, DONG SON CULTURE，拍品編號266。 文獻比較： 比較一件相近的公元一至二世紀銅合金盆，收藏於洛杉磯藝術博物館，編號M.2003.226.4。

Bowl from the Bactrian culture, 3rd-2nd millennia BC.Alabaster.In good condition.Provenance: Private collection, London, acquired in the 1990s. Previously acquired from a London gallery.Weight: 5.8 kg.Measurements: 24 cm (length).An alabaster bowl with no decoration other than its elegant lines and neat profiles. Bactriana, also called Bactria, is the ancient Greek name for the area of Central Asia located between the Hindu Kush (to the south) and the Amu Darya River (to the north). Today this territory corresponds to northern Afghanistan, southern Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. A fertile region of oases and mountains, since ancient times Bactria has been an important and almost obligatory stop for trade routes and communication between the Far East, the Indian subcontinent and the Mediterranean basin. Of particular importance in this region is the Bactria-Margiana archaeological complex, the modern archaeological designation of the Bronze Age in Central Asian culture, dating from around 2200-1700.

'LION AT REST', MUGHAL EMPIRE1526-1857. Watercolors on paper. The resting lion reclining in a bamboo grove within a rocky landscape under dark wispy clouds, raising his hind legs while lightly crossing the fore paws in one of his natural poses. The beast's face shows a fierce expression with wild eyes and pricked ears, the mouth agape revealing sharp teeth and a long tongue. The fur, mane, and bushy end of the tail finely executed with meticulous linework. Provenance: English trade, acquired by the last owner at auction in the United Kingdom within the last ten years. Old label 'CA b' to lower left corner. Condition: Good condition with some wear, minor soiling, creasing, few small losses, one repaired tear (approx. 8 cm long) to left edge, further minor tears to edges, the upper margin with old masking tape.Dimensions: Size 47 x 69 cmThe Mughal Empire was an early-modern empire that controlled much of South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. For some two hundred years, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus river basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan plateau in south India.The Mughal artistic tradition, mainly expressed in painted miniatures, as well as small luxury objects, was eclectic, borrowing from Iranian, Indian, Chinese and Renaissance European stylistic and thematic elements. Mughal emperors often took in Iranian bookbinders, illustrators, painters and calligraphers from the Safavid court due to the commonalities of their Timurid styles, and due to the Mughal affinity for Iranian art and calligraphy. Miniatures commissioned by the Mughal emperors initially focused on large projects illustrating books with eventful historical scenes and court life, but later included more single images for albums, with portraits and animal paintings displaying a profound appreciation for the serenity and beauty of the natural world. For example, Emperor Jahangir (reigned 1605-1627) commissioned brilliant artists such as Ustad Mansur (active 1590-1624) to realistically portray unusual flora and fauna throughout the empire.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related miniature painting of a lion at rest, dated ca. 1585 and attributed as “one of the early works of Mansur”, 20.3 x 15.2 cm, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1985.221.

Fine and rare early Worcester 'Scratch Cross' mug, circa 1754, of bell shape, finely painted in the bird and snail pattern in a kakiemon inspired palette of pale green, terracotta and yellow, the base with incised cross mark, height 15cmProvenance: The property of a GentlemanNote: This mug is previously unrecorded and is one of only four now known examples. Three bell shaped mugs with the same decoration have been previously recorded, each inscribed on the base 'Ex L 1754', one from the Grant Dixon Collection at Ampleforth Abbey, another is in the Victoria & Albert Museum Collection, bequeathed by Mr Arthur Hurst (accession number C350-1940), and the third is at Colonial Williamsburg. These recorded mugs are fundamental to the dating of 'Scratch Cross' porcelains and this present lot appears to be the only mug found to date without the 'Ex L 1754' inscription on the base. Whilst the numbers of porcelains in this pattern are few, the pattern does exist on a small number of waisted vases and a water bottle and basin which is now housed in the museum of Royal Worcester

Attributed to Arthur Ernest Anderson (d. 1936) of Bristol: A set of twelve carved and polychrome wood carousel horsesProbably early 20th century The horses with elaborate cartouche and foliate decorated scrolling saddles, and curling manes, their open mouths with integral horse bits, each on later gilt metal spiral twist supports with ball finials on swept stiff leaf scrolling rectangular gilt wood bases, repainted and with restorations and later additions, each approximately 110cm wide, 29cm deep, 125cm high (43in wide, 11in deep, 49in high) (the bases, 35cm wide) (12)Footnotes:Williams & Anderson were a well established Bristol maritime wood carvers originally based at premises in Commercial Row in Hotwells near the harbour of the city. The firm began trading in the mid-19th century with John Anderson and his uncles the Williams brothers producing many of the figure heads for the sailing ships that filled Bristol's docks during the 1840's and 50's. The firm was later registered with the names J. R. Anderson between 1889 and 1900 and then by 1919 Arthur Ernest Anderson. However by 1919 the demand for carved ship figureheads had completely died out and the company had already turned to producing carved fairground carousel figures which they subsequently became associated with in the later years of trading. Interestingly, there is a photograph of the young Duke of York, later George VI, riding one of the Blists Hill Gallopers in 1924.Arthur Anderson is known to have produced many dozens of animals for the fairground rides of British fairs in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods through to the 1920's. Sadly the business, which by this time was situated at Rownham Place at the junction of Hotwells Road and the Cumberland Basin, faltered in the difficult days of depression in the early 1930's and finally closed its doors in 1936 when Anderson's estate was sold by auction at William Cowlin and Son, Princess Victorian Street, Clifton. An article cited in the Nation Fairground Archive further notes: 'Their (Anderson's) carved Galloper mounts were known for the burgeoning scrollwork under the animal's belly, complete with Italianate grotesque grins upon its flanks and a flying ribbon frozen onto the neck, lettered with name of a famous horse or friend. Later work transmogrified even further, with animal heads carved into the body work creating a dream-like, surreal effect similar to the uncomfortable prose and jarring effects written by Lautreamont who twists the rules of nature to create fanciful cross-breeds and representations' (Cameron, 2009).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
