Lot 67

9th-8th century BC. A square stone plaque pierced for suspension with billetted border enclosing a reserved figure of a regardant winged sphinx with tail raised and beaded hair. 138 grams, 94mm (3 3/4"). Fair condition; repaired. Property of a London gentleman; aquired in the late 1970s and 1980s. The sphinx is first found in ancient Egypt where it is commonly seen with the head of a man, but also sometimes with that of an animal such as a hawk. The imagery later passed into Greek art where it is more often seen with the head of a woman. It is also present in the art and sculpture of the Mycenaean, Assyrian, Persian and Phoenician civilisations. In Egypt the sphinx is closely associated with the power of the Pharaoh, whereas in Greece it is seen more as a monster. In the Near East it has more of a guardian role and is found flanking the doorways to palaces and temples and decorating furniture. This piece shows a mixture of Egyptian and early Greek styles and was possibly a decorative wall fitting for an important building.

Lot 868

2nd-4th century AD. A carved schist figure of Buddha seated cross-legged on a dais with nimbus to the rear of the head, right hand raised in mudra of reassurance; mounted on a custom-made stand. 2 kg, 25.5cm including stand (10"). From an important London collection, acquired in the 1990s. See Behrendt, K. The Art of Gandhara in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2007. The depiction of the Buddha seated and holding a corner of his robes is one of the oldest to come from Gandharan art. The principal episodes in the life of the Buddha are evoked by gestures of the hands which later became codified in Buddhist art and literature. The image of the Buddha seated and with hand raised in Abhaya Mudra or the dispelling of fear gesture, and with the other hand grasping the corners of his robes, relates to the episode in the life of the Buddha immediately after he had gained enlightenment. After he had gained enlightenment underneath the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya, it is said that the gods descended to Earth to beg the Buddha to spread his teachings. After listening to the gods, the Buddha raised his hand to gesture to the gods not to fear and that he was ready, and also held the corners of his robe so that he could rise from his position of meditation. In this sculpture his enlightenment is indicated by the serene look upon his face and the halo behind his head. Fine condition.

Lot 892

3rd-5th century AD. A statuette of Buddha seated cross-legged with hands folded in the lap; coral pink pigment remaining; mounted on a custom-made stand. 2 kg, 27cm including stand (10 1/2"). Property of a North London gentleman; formerly with a Mayfair gallery in the 1980s. Cf. Behrendt, K. The Art of Gandhara in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2007, pp. 64-68 for a discussion on stucco sculpture. The use of stucco, clay and terracotta for the production of images at Gandharan Buddhist sites was particularly popular due to the fact that it was easier and cheaper to work than the usual schist stone. because stucco is susceptible to water damage such sculpture often does not survive. With the rapid expansion of Buddhism in the area and the need for monastic and other religious sites to cater for the needs of the faithful, stucco proved to be a favourite material in decorating these sites; the images range in size from small devotional pieces to monumental sculptures, such as those found at Takht-i-bahi in Pakistan. Fine condition; neck repaired.

Lot 1510

2nd century BC-2nd century AD. The top of a rectangular alabaster stele with stylised human face carved in the half-round with lentoid sockets for separate inlaid eyes, keeled triangular nose, D-shaped bilinear ears; incised inscription below the chin. 9.4 kg, 37cm (14 1/2"). Fine condition. From an important English collection; acquired in the 1990s. South Arabian sculpture associated with palaces and domestic settings often reflects a strong Graeco-Roman influence. In contrast, ancestral images, funerary portraits and votive dedications exhibit a distinct style that is characteristically local. The flat surfaces to the rear of these stele suggest that they were installed against walls and were most likely memorial plaques in honour of the dead. Relief plaques such as these are known from the upland areas of the Marib, the ancient centre of the Sabaean Empire. This area contains numerous stone ruins dating from between the first millennium BC into the early first millennium AD, and which was a period when the region was enriched by the burgeoning Roman demand for spices that linked southern Arabia to Ethiopia and the cultures of the Indian Ocean in a complex trade network.

Lot 1716

1360-1400 AD. A gold hoop, oval-shaped to the finger, with raised lateral edge bead; a four-claw collet cell holding a large polished irregular sapphire cabochon to the bezel, with reserved floral and foliage engraving to the shoulders; ornate blackletter 'alas for fayte' inscription to the inner face of the bezel. 5.11 grams, 21mm overall,16.30x14.86mm internal diameters (approximate size British L, USA 5 3/4, Europe 11.24, Japan 10) (3/4"). Extremely fine condition. Extremely rare.

Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. See Sotheby's sale catalogue L11231, lot 34 (this ring; catalogue accompanies this lot, with an email printout from Sotheby's to vendor discussing the ring); featured on the BBC TV programme Antiques Roadshow, broadcast 14th September 2008 (with documents relating to the broadcast); for a very similar sapphire-set and inscribed ring, but showing considerable wear, see http://topazi.us/period/medieval/late-medieval-gold-ring-hexagonal-sapphire/, and the The Warrington Guardian, 26 April 2008, sold in an Old Master Sculpture and Works of Art auction, London, 9 July 2009, realised £70,850.00. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. John of Gaunt (6 March 1340 - 3 February 1399) was the third son of King Edward III, named 'of Gaunt' due to his birthplace of Ghent, Belgium. He was made a Knight of the Garter and 1st Duke of Lancaster. He married Blanche of Lancaster, who died in 1369, and Infanta Constance of Castile, who died in 1394. His third wife, previously his mistress, was Katherine Swynford; she was the daughter of Paon de Roet, a herald and minor official who was later knighted and made Guyon King of Armes. She had two sisters, Philippa (the wife of Geoffrey Chaucer) and Isabel (also called Elizabeth) de Roet, who became Canoness of the convent of St. Waudru's, Mons, Belgium in 1366. They also had a brother named Walter; Katherine and Philippa may have been born to Paon's second wife. Katherine was born in Hainaut, Belgium, in 1349-50 probably on 25th November, the feast day of her patron, St. Catherine of Alexandria. The family returned to England in 1351 and, aged about seventeen, she married Sir Ottes Swynford of Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire, and had three children by him: Blanche, Thomas and Margaret. Katherine was appointed governess to the children of John of Gaunt and his wife, Blanche, by then in failing health; with a pedigree of the descendants of Katherine Swynford produced for the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral, including the relationship to United States Presidents George Washington, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams. John and Katherine began a love affair which resulted in four more children: John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset (1373-1410), who had a distinguished military career in crusades in North Africa and eastern Europe. Henry Beaufort (died 11 April 1447), bishop of Winchester, later a Cardinal and an attending churchman at the trial and execution of Joan of Arc during the Hundred Years' War. Thomas Beaufort, 1st Duke of Exeter (died 31 December 1426) was a military commander and for a short period, Chancellor of England; Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland (died 13 November 1440), wife of Robert Ferrers. All these children were born out of wedlock, but subsequently legitimised by their parents' marriage in Lincoln Cathedral in 1396. Katherine and her daughter, Joan, are interred in that same building, although their tombs were damaged during the English Civil War. The sapphire appears to have originated in Kashmir, and is likely to have travelled to Europe across the Silk Road.
