Arthur Dooley (1929-1994)WarriorInitialled and dated (19)73, bronze, 66cm highArthur Dooley was a self-taught artist from Liverpool. He left school at 14 and worked on Mersey tugboats and apprenticed at Cammell Laird’s shipyard. When looking back in 1994, Dooley said to the author Peter Davies ‘The shipyard was really my art school’.In 1945 he enlisted into the Irish Guards as bagpiper and rose to the rank of Sergeant. However, he left without leave to join the Palestine Liberation Organisation, where he served as a Colonel. When he was captured, Dooley was sent to a military prison, and it was here that he started to experiment with sculpture, it was also during this period he became a devout Catholic and staunch communist.After Dooley left the army in 1953, he worked as a janitor and observed students at St. Martins School of Art in London. He developed his sculptural style from working with discarded material, particularly scrap metal, and was informed by his industrial experiences working at the docks. In 1961 Dooley exhibited his works at his first one man show at St. Martins. He then returned to Liverpool where he learned more about the metal casting process whilst working for Dunlop’s in Speke as a rubber moulder and created sculptures such as "Warrior".This patinated bronze sculpture depicts an elongated figure with a featureless face, wearing a cloak and helmet. The figure’s feet are planted in a strong stance on a textured rectangular base and brandishes a round shield with textured embellishment and a spear. This ‘Warrior´ is a recurring theme in Dooley’s oeuvre, with various versions created since 1966 with differing bases and heights, sometimes under the title ‘Centurion.’Dooley continued to exhibit around the UK, work on commissions such as the 1974 ‘Four Lads who Shook the World,’ Beatles Memorial in Liverpool, and campaigned on TV and in his home city for redevelopment, abolition of high-rise housing and better care for the unemployed. In the (19)90s, he founded a workshop for unemployed people and helped found the Liverpool Academy of Arts. Some surface dirt, in particular behind the shield and underneath the base. Surface wear to his back left shoulder to the cloak. Surface scratch to the lower section of his breastplate. Surface scratches to the front of his right leg and wear to his right hip.

The exterior bearing a kinji ground richly decorated in gold and colored hiramaki-e and takamaki-e with e-nashiji, mura-nashiji, gyobu nashiji, and kirikane to depict a fierce battle between a horse-mounted samurai on a surprise attack on an encampment, raising his katana high above his head as he is about to strike a standing warrior wearing a kabuto with an oni maedate, only able to defend himself with a fan for the moment but about to draw his own sword, while a soldier defends his master with a long yari (spear), all amid a meandering stream framed by grasses, rocks, and bamboo leaves below thick swirling clouds, continuing over to the long sides, the short sides and base of nashiji.The interior of rich nashiji, the cover similarly decorated and with inlays of mother-of-pearl and gold foil to depict a river amid rolling hills, reeds, bamboo, and rockwork, the nine-section ita (baseboard) fitted with a rectangular inkstone (suzuri) and fan-shaped copper waterdropper (suiteki).SIZE 5.2 x 23.1 x 26.1 cmCondition: Excellent condition with minor wear.With the original lacquered wood transport box with a gold-lacquered inscription 川中島合戦図蒔絵御硯箱 "Kawanakajima-gassen zu makie on-suzuribako" [Lacquer suzuribako, with the design of the Battles of Kawanakajima].The Battles of Kawanakajima (Kawanakajima no tatakai) were a series of battles fought in the Sengoku period of Japan between Takeda Shingen of Kai Province and Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo Province from 1553 to 1564. Shingen and Kenshin contested each other for control of the plain of Kawanakajima between the Sai River and Chikuma River in northern Shinano Province, located in the present-day city of Nagano. The battles were triggered after Shingen conquered Shinano, expelling Ogasawara Nagatoki and Murakami Yoshikiyo, who subsequently turned to Kenshin for help. Five major battles of Kawanakajima occurred: Fuse in 1553, Saigawa in 1555, Uenohara in 1557, Hachimanbara in 1561, and Shiozaki in 1564. The most famous and severe battle was fought on 18 October 1561 in the heart of the Kawanakajima plain, thus being known as the Battle of Kawanakajima. The battles were ultimately inconclusive and neither Shingen or Kenshin established their control over the plain of Kawanakajima. The Battles of Kawanakajima became one of the most cherished tales in Japanese military history, the epitome of Japanese chivalry and romance, mentioned in epic literature, woodblock printing, and later in movies. They were a popular subject for woodblock prints in the Edo period, in part because both the Takeda and Uesugi clans had died out and glorification of their deeds did not therefore pose any threat to the ruling Tokugawa shogunate.

Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC. A group of three cast bronze spearheads, each a stunning masterpiece of ancient weaponry. These triangular-shaped blades boast a prominent midrib that runs along the center, creating a striking visual effect. The shoulders of each spearhead extend downwards, leading to a pronounced shaft and tapering tang for insertion onto a pole. In Bronze Age Western Asia, the spear was a ubiquitous weapon used by soldiers and hunters alike. The pronounced shaft and tapering tang would have allowed for easy attachment to a pole, creating a deadly weapon that could be used from a distance. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988).

Ca. 300 - 400 AD. A gold ring composed of a thin hoop with pairs of spheres to the bezel, boasting an intaglio that depicts the god Mars seated on the back of a majestic eagle. In Roman mythology, Mars was the god of war and one of the most important deities in the pantheon. He was the son of Jupiter and Juno and was often depicted as a warrior with a spear and shield. His association with the eagle, a powerful and noble bird, was likely inspired by the Roman army's use of eagles as emblems of their legions. Roman intaglios depicting gods and goddesses were popular adornments for rings, often worn as symbols of protection and guidance. These intaglios served not only as decorative pieces but also as powerful amulets that could bring the wearer good fortune and protection from harm. The intricate designs and rare subjects of these intaglios make them highly sought after by collectors and historians alike, offering a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Roman mythology and belief systems.Size: D: 17.53mm / US: 7 / UK: O; 3.64gProvenance: Private London collection, UK art market before 2000.

Ca. 800-600 BC. A socketed bronze spearhead is a striking example of ancient Greek weaponry, featuring a substantial lentoid-section blade with a raised midrib and a long shaft that gradually flares to its opening. The spearhead's socketed design allowed for easy attachment to a wooden shaft, creating a formidable weapon.
