Property of a Welsh collector; acquired early 2000 from John Moore Antiques, Bedfordshire, UK.

Its earliest styles were first developed in ancient Greece, specifically in the Peloponnese, during the 8th and 7th centuries BC (700–640 BC"). Accurate representations on Corinthian vases are sufficient to indicate that the Illyrian type helmet was developed before 600 BC. The helmet was misleadingly named as an Illyrian type due to a large number of early finds coming from Illyria. Fine condition; restored. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate.

Post Medieval Gold Decorated '*NOSSE.TE IPSVM' Posy Ring with Mystical Symbol 18th century AD.

Property of a London collector; acquired in the 1990s. The Latin tag nosce te ipsum 'know thyself' is a direct translation of the Greek aphorism ????? ??????? which was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, according to the Greek writer Pausanias (Description of Greece10.24.1"). It has been ascribed to a number of Greek philosophers and authors including Thales and Chilon, to whom it was still attributed in the 10th century Byzantine Suda. Plato used it in a number of his plays, generally making it clear that the phrase was handed down from antiquity. The significance of the phrase has been much discussed. It is generally agreed to act as a warning to persons of influence not to be swayed by flattery and ideas of self-importance, but rather to bear in mind personal limitations. Very fine condition.
