bronze, with a slightly oxidised greenish brown patina18cm long, 10.5cm highFootnote: Note: Giambologna's model is based on the marble fragmentary sculpture now in the garden of the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Rome, which was restored in 1594. The present arrangement differs slightly to the original and its facture points to a South Germany origin. The distinct chiselling to the surface, and the treatment of the head and tail of the horse compare closely to a bronze figure of a unicorn in the Grunes Gewolbe Dresden attributed to Hans Reinsinger, who was active in Augsburg in the third quarter of the 16th century. For a comparable example also attributed to Reisinger, see Sotheby's London, Old Master Sculpture and Works of Art, 10 July 2014, lot 99.Literature: H. Weihrauch, Europaische Bronzestatuetten.

See Boucher, S., Inventaire des Collections Publiques Françaises - 17 Vienne: Bronzes Antiques, Paris, 1971; Ratkovi?, D., 'Wagon and Harness Bronzes from the Roman Collection of the National Museum in Belgrade' in Thiasos, Festschrift fur Erwin Pochmarski zum 65.

UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. Accompanied by an archaeological report by Dr. Raffaele D'Amato.

Bronze figurative decorations on funerary wagons are very often of Dionysiac character and related to Dionysiac mysteries. Hitherto it was a standard approach for the scholars to consider the decoration of funeral wagons as exclusively associated with the cult of Dionysus and various themes related to this cult, considering that many of the chariot fittings excavated to date were busts of the god himself, Maenads, satyrs, young men with vine-leaf crowns, or animals, like panthers, linked to his cult. One example similar to this sculpture is the bust of a Maenad in the collection of ancient bronzes of Vienne (Boucher, 1971, cat.42) which is most probably a chariot decoration, together with a bust of Dionysus in the same collection (Boucher, 1971, cat.43").

Northern Wei Dynasty, 386-534 AD. A gilt-bronze figure, influenced by the Gandharan style or that of the neighbouring Uddiyana region, depicting two Buddhas (Shakyamuni and Prabhutaratna) kneeling on a tiered base with flaming aureole behind. See Dr. Naiki, S., Similarities and Differences in Gandharan Sculptures Among Regions, Thursday 22nd to Friday 23rd March 2018, The Geography of Gandharan Art: 2nd Workshop of the Gandhara Connections Project, Classical Art Research Centre, University of Oxford. 341 grams, 14.5cm (5 3/4"). Buckingham Collection, early 1960s to 1970s. Late Nik Douglas (1944-2012), renowned author, curator and Asian art expert. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.11075-184861. Gandhara was the principal gateway through which Buddhism spread to China. Academic research conducted after the death of Nik Douglas (above) explains that Gandharan sculpture has been found in neighbouring regions, such as in Uddiyana. Sculpture from the Gandharan and Uddiyana regions has similar characteristics and as a result has often remained undifferentiated. As a result of this recent research however, it is becoming more feasible to identify distinctions between the sculpture of these different regions.[A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.] Fine condition.
