A Royal Automobile Club Car Mascot having Central Enamel Union Jack Flag Surmounted by Hermes on the One Side and the Other with Edward VII inside Spoked Wheel by Elkington and Co, Numbered C3646. 14cms High

1st century BC-1st century AD. A bronze statuette in the form of a youthful female herm figure, a Greek short cap (kausia) upon the head, a long chiton tunic adorning the midsection, socket to base. See similar miniatures Herms in the National Museum Budapest, inventory 93.19.A; see also Mattusch, C.C., 'Two Bronze Herms,' in Art Journal, 54:2, 1995, pp.53-59. 83 grams, 90mm (3 1/2"). German collection before 2000. Collection of Mr D.H., formed in UK, from the EU art market. Property of a Surrey gentleman. Hermes (Roman Mercury), the messenger god, who was also the protector of travellers, communities and houses, entrances and exits, as well as flocks, gave the name to this type of monuments. Large herms were typically set up along thoroughfares and boundaries, at gates, and also at tombs. Small herms like this one were probably used for domestic use (Lares) or offered to the gods as votive gifts. Very fine condition.

1st century BC-2nd century AD. A bronze statuette of god Mercury (Greek Hermes), standing naked, the right arm outstretched holding a sack of gold, mantle (chlamys) to the left shoulder, wearing a petasos cap fitted with wings, the feet closed in his winged shoes (talaria"). Cf. Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, items 40ff., especially 45 and 47. 116 grams, 10cm high (4"). European art market in the 2000s. UK private collection. Property of a Surrey gentleman. After his identification with the Greek Hermes, Roman artists retained Hermes’ attributes (the petasos cap, the face and body of a beardless young man, the caduceus staff, the winged shoes (pteróenta pédila)) and popularised Mercury’s own attribute, the money bag. The bag had been seen on some, but not all, Greek depictions of Hermes. Very fine condition.

c.1st-2nd century AD. A bronze bust of god Mercury (Greek Hermes), possibly from a steelyard weight, modelled facing with slender wings emerging from short, wavy hair, semi-naturalistic detailing to the face, and a slashed garment with shallow v-neckline; reverse plain below the neck. Cf. The Portable Antiquities Scheme Database, id. LEIC-DD278D, which dates the bust to between 43-410 AD; cf. WILT-AA5277 and ESS-4E1CC7, for comparable. 3.71 grams, 34mm (1 1/4"). Found whilst searching with a metal detector in Cambridgeshire, UK, by Robert Ward. Accompanied by a copy of Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) report number LEIC-DD278D. The lower part of the reverse is flat and plain, suggesting this may have been a handle for a vessel. Very fine condition.

1st millennium BC. A ceramic rhyton with painted decoration and equine finial; the trumpet-shaped mouth with painted bands of intersecting red and black lines, circumferential solid red bands, segmented hoops and lattice panel with black pellet detailing; horse finial with legs folded beneath the body, painted reins and harness, vent to the chest; possibly Parthian workmanship; mounted on a custom-made stand. 800 grams, 24cm high (1.19 kg total, 31cm including stand) (9 1/2 (12 1/4)").

Isle de France, c.1280 AD. A sandstone figure carved in the round representing Christ in his role of 'the good shepherd'; standing, wearing a tight sleeved tunic and a mantle draped over his shoulders and gathered on his extended right forearm, reaching to knee-length; close-fitting cap with thick braided fillet to the brow carved in high-relief; a lamb slung across his shoulders with its head resting beside Christ's right ear, detailed carved texture to the fleece, the legs gathered across the collarbone and held by his left hand; the face with downcast expression, bearded and with locks of hair flowing from beneath the cap; socket in the right forearm for the absent hand; mounted on a custom-made stand. 24.9 kg total, 65cm including stand (25 1/2"). Pierre Bergé & Associés, Paris, France. Private collection, Southern France. Ex central London gallery. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.11054-184140. The Good Shepherd motif is based on the pericope of the Gospel of John (10:1–21) in which Jesus is depicted as a herdsman who gives up his life to save his flock. The Parable of the Lost Sheep is recounted in the gospels of Matthew and Luke whereby the redemption of one sinner is celebrated over the orthodoxy of many good people. The image forms the basis for many works of art, beginning with paintings in the Roman catacombs dating from the 3rd century AD which show a standing a shepherd carrying a lamb across his shoulders. The motif may have a longer history relating to the cult of Hermes in Greek tradition, who is described as kriophoros 'ram-bearer'.
