age antique xiphos sword, 1700-400 bc; a large, finely made ancient bronze sword composed of a long blade, integral guard, and columnar grip with a double disc pommel. length: 600 mm = 60 cm; width: 62 mm = 6.2 cm; weight: 755 g; provenance: private uk collection; from an old oxford collection formed in the 1990's. bronze age swords appeared from around the 17th century bc, in the black sea region and the aegean, as a further development of the dagger. they were replaced by iron swords during the early part of the 1st millennium bc. from an early time the swords reached lengths in excess of 100 cm. the technology to produce blades of such lengths appears to have been developed in the aegean, using alloys of copper and tin or arsenic, around 1700 bc. bronze age swords were typically not longer than 80 cm; weapons significantly shorter than 60 cm are variously categorized as short swords or daggers. before about 1400 bc swords remained mostly limited to the aegean and southeastern europe, but they became more widespread in the final centuries of the 2nd millennium bc, to central europe and britain, to the near east, central asia, northern india and to china. aegean: the minoan and mycenaean (middle to late aegean bronze age) swords are classified in types labeled a to h following sandars (1961, 1963), the \"sandars typology\". types a and b (\"tab-tang\") are the earliest from about the 17th to 16th centuries, types c (\"horned\" swords) and d (\"cross\" swords) from the 15th century, types e and f (\"t-hilt\" swords) from the 13th and 12th. the 13th to 12th centuries also see a revival of the \"horned\" type, classified as types g and h.[7] type h swords are associated with the sea peoples and were found in anatolia (pergamon[8]) and greece. contemporary with types e to h is the so-called \"naue ii\" type, imported from south-eastern europe. europe: one of the most important, and longest-lasting, types of prehistoric european swords was the \"naue ii\" type, named for julius naue who first described them and also known as \"griffzungenschwert\" or \"grip-tongue sword\". it first appears in c. the 13th century bc in northern italy (or a general urnfield background), and survived well into the iron age, with a life-span of about seven centuries, until the 6th century bc. during its lifetime the basic design was maintained, although the material changed from bronze to iron. naue ii swords were exported from europe to the aegean, and as far afield as ugarit, beginning about 1200 bc, i.e. just a few decades before the final collapse of the palace cultures in the bronze age collapse.[11] naue ii swords could be as long as 85 cm, but most specimens fall into the 60 to 70 cm range. swords from the nordic bronze age appear from ca. the 17th century bc, often showing characteristic spiral patterns. the early nordic swords are also comparatively short; a specimen discovered in 1912 near bragby, uppland, sweden, dated to about 1800 to 1500 bc, was just over 60 cm long. this sword was, however, classified as of the hajdúsámson-apa type, and was presumably imported. the vreta kloster sword discovered in 1897 (dated 1600 to 1500 bc) has a blade length (the hilt is missing) of 46 cm.[12] a typical variant for european swords is the \"leaf shaped\" blade, which was most common in north-west europe at the end of the bronze age, on the british isles in particular. the \"carp's tongue sword\" is a type of bronze sword that was common to western europe during ca. the 9th to 8th centuries bc. the blade of the carp's tongue sword was wide and parallel for most of its length but the final third narrowed into a thin tip intended for thrusting. the design was probably developed in north-western france, and combined the broad blade useful for slashing with a thinner, elongated tip suitable for thrusting. its advantages saw its adoption across atlantic europe. in britain, the metalwork in the south east derived its name from this sword: the carp's tongue complex. notable examples of this type were part of the isleham hoard. the bronze age-style sword and construction methods died out at the end of the early iron age (hallstatt d), around 600-500 bc, when swords were once again replaced by daggers in most of europe. an exception is the xiphos from greece, the development of which continued for several more centuries."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"1U","title":{"en":"bronze age antique xiphos sword, 1700-400

references: baal-hamon. ba'al-hamon (\"ruler of a crowd or multitude\") was the chief god of carthage. he was a deity of sky and vegetation, depicted as a bearded older man with curling ram's horns.[1] baal hammon's female cult partner was tanit. cult and attributes: the worship of baal hammon flourished in the phoenician colony of carthage. his supremacy among the carthaginian gods is believed to date to the 5th century bc, after relations between carthage and tyre were broken off at the time of the punic defeat in himera. modern scholars identify him variously with the northwest semitic god el or with dagon. in carthage and north africa baal hammon was especially associated with the ram and was worshiped also as baal qarnaim (\"lord of two horns\") in an open-air sanctuary at jebel bu kornein (\"the two-horned hill\") across the bay from carthage. he was probably never identified with baal melqart, although one finds this equation in older scholarship. ancient greek writers identified him with the titan cronus. in ancient rome, he was identified with saturn, and the cultural exchange between rome and carthage as a result of the second punic war may have influenced the development of the roman religious festival saturnalia.[5] greco-roman sources report that the carthaginians burned their children as offerings to baal hammon. (see moloch for a discussion of these traditions and conflicting thoughts on the matter.) attributes of his romanized form as an african saturn indicate that hammon was a fertility god. name and functions: the meaning of hammon or hamon is unclear. in the 19th century when ernest renan excavated the ruins of hammon (ammon), the modern umm al-awamid between tyre and acre, he found two phoenician inscriptions dedicated to el-hammon. since el was normally identified with cronus and baal hammon was also identified with cronus, it seemed possible they could be equated. more often a connection with hebrew/phoenician ammn 'brazier' has been proposed, in the sense of \"baal (lord) of the brazier\". he has been therefore identified with a solar deity. yigael yadin thought him to be a moon god. edward lipinski identifies him with the god dagon. frank moore cross argued for a connection to khamn, the ugaritic and akkadian name for mount amanus, the great mountain separating syria from cilicia based on the occurrence of an ugaritic description of el as the one of the mountain haman. tanit: tanit was a phoenician lunar goddess, worshiped as the patron goddess at carthage and numidia.[2] tanit might have an origin from berber mythology in north africa. worship: tanit was worshiped in punic contexts in the western mediterranean, from malta to gades into hellenistic times. from the fifth century bce onwards tanit's worship is associated with that of ba`al hammon. she is given the epithet pene baal (\"face of baal\") and the title rabat, the female form of rab (chief). in north africa, where the inscriptions and material remains are more plentiful, she was, as well as a consort of baal hammon, a heavenly goddess of war, a virginal (not married) mother goddess and nurse, and, less specifically, a symbol of fertility, as are most female forms. several of the major greek goddesses were identified with tanit by the syncretic interpretatio graeca, which recognized as greek deities in foreign guise the gods of most of the surrounding non-hellene cultures. her shrine excavated at sarepta in southern phoenicia revealed an inscription that identified her for the first time in her homeland and related her securely to the phoenician goddess astarte (ishtar).[4] one site where tanit is uncovered is at kerkouane, in the cap bon peninsula in tunisia. the origins of tanit are to be found in the pantheon of ugarit, especially in the ugaritic goddess anat (hvidberg-hansen 1982), a consumer of blood and flesh. there is significant, albeit disputed, evidence, both archaeological and within ancient written sources, pointing towards child sacrifice forming part of the worship of tanit and baal hammon.[5] tanit is also a goddess among the ancient berber people. her symbol, found on many ancient stone carvings, appears as a trapezium (trapezoid) closed by a horizontal line at the top and surmounted in the middle by a circle: the horizontal arm is often terminated either by two short upright lines at right angles to it or by hooks. later, the trapezium is frequently replaced by an isosceles triangle. the symbol is interpreted by hvidberg-hansen as a woman raising her hands. in egyptian, her name means land of neith, neith being a war goddess. long after the fall of carthage, tanit was still venerated in north africa under the latin name of juno caelestis, for her identification with the roman goddess juno.[6] hvidberg-hansen (danish professor of semitic philology), notes that tanit is sometimes depicted with a lion's head, showing her warrior quality.[7] in modern times the name, with the spelling \"tanith\", has been used as a female given name, both for real people and, more frequently, in occult fiction. \n \n condition :

way up to the shogun, wore a decorated brocade version of the hitatare worn by the peasants of the heian period. the fewer layers and smaller sleeves made it easier to don armor over their clothes, and the crossed-collar style firmly aligned the samurai with the common people, rather than the aristocratic and frankly incompetent imperial court. even in the classical wide-sleeved fashion for the highest-ranked samurai, the sleeves had drawstrings sewn in to allow for the sleeves to be closed up (similar to the hunting robes worn by aristocrats during trips into the countryside). even when making an ostentatious display of impracticality with the highest levels of formal wear, the samurai aesthetic demanded a way to make the impractical practical. the muromachi period: the kimono blossoms though the first kamakura shoguns were strong, they couldn't maintain their strength forever. a ploy to keep the imperial court weak by dividing it into a northern and southern court backfired, and resulted in a temporary restoration of power to the emperor, known as the kemmu restoration. but that break in the power of the office of the shogun was temporary--the clans who had supported the emperor's rebellion weren't exactly loyal to the emperor, so much as they were enemies of the shogun, and once the emperor attempted to take power away from the samurai and set japan back into confucian order, the ashikaga clan and their allies and armies turned, supporting a new emperor who would, in turn, grant the ashikaga the office of the shogunate. the muromachi period: the

back into confucian order, the ashikaga clan and their allies and armies turned, supporting a new emperor who would, in turn, grant the ashikaga the office of the shogunate. the ashikaga shogunate was deeply embroiled in the conflict between the northern and southern courts, and established their capital in muromachi, near kyoto, where they could keep a close eye on the conflict and maintain their interests. this closeness to the imperial court allowed the pendulum of fashion to swing back to courtly opulence, while still reflecting a non-aristocratic mode of dress, because the rise of the ashikaga shogunate was possible largely due to the efforts of less-powerful samurai and the legions of foot soldiers they had assembled. thus, more richly decorated versions of the hitatare, and a sleeveless two-piece ensemble called a kataginu became the centerpieces of muromachi period men's fashion. practicality was still the name of the game for men's wear, however, as the dominant theme of the muromachi period was civil war--the weak ashikaga shoguns' reign is vastly overshadowed by the sengoku period, and its system of vastly powerful, ever-clashing daimyo. the azuchi-momoyama period the azuchi-momoyama period is one of the shortest periods of japanese history, but one of the most pivotal. oda nobunaga's military might essentially ended the civil war, toyotomi hideyoshi successfully unified japan after nobunaga's death, and tokugawa ieyasu established a new, powerful bakufu government, all within a period of about 35 years. as it has often been put, 'nobunaga mixed the ingredients, hideyoshi baked the cake, and ieyasu ate it.' the strong leadership of these three daimyo brought unity to an archipelago which had been divided and war-stricken for over 100 years, and allowed commerce to reopen to all areas of japan; constant warfare had spurred the development of powerful guilds for merchants and artisans to protect themselves, and at the conclusion of the war, they returned to the countryside after decades of hiding in the mountains. japan took a long, hard look at the outside world for the first time in a long time, and took inspiration and artistic

tabar (also called tabarzin, which means \"saddle axe\" [in persian], modern turkish: teber) is a type of battle axe. the term tabar is used for axes originating from the ottoman empire, persia, india and surrounding countries and cultures. as a loanword taken through iranian scythian, the word tabar is also used in most slavic languages as the word for axe[1] (e.g. russian: топор). persia the tabarzin (saddle axe) (persian: تبرزین; sometimes translated \"saddle-hatchet\") is the traditional battle axe of persia (iran). it bears one or two crescent-shaped blades. the long form of the tabar was about seven feet long, while a shorter version was about three feet long. what makes the persian axe unique is the very thin handle, which is very light and always metallic.[2] the tabarzin was sometimes carried as a symbolic weapon by wandering dervishes (muslim ascetic worshippers).[citation needed] the word tabar for axe was directly borrowed into armenian as tapar (armenian: տապար) from middle persian tabar,[3][4] as well as into proto-slavonic as \"topor\" (*toporъ), the latter word known to be taken through scythian,[5][1] and is still the common slavic word for axe.[1] india during the 17th and 18th centuries, the tabar battle axe was a standard weapon of the mounted warriors of punjab, sikh khalsa army and what is now modern day india and pakistan. made entirely of metal or with a wood haft, it had a strongly curved blade and a hammer-headed poll and was often decorated with scroll work. sometimes a small knife was inserted in the tabar's hollow haft. arabia according to adam metz's \"islamic civilization in the fourth century of the hegira,\" the tabar was frequently not only a weapon used by police chiefs (sahib al-shurta), but also a mark of office for them. the dhal is a type of shield found in the indian subcontinent.[1] they are nearly always geometrically round and yet they vary in diameter from about eight inches to twenty-four inches. some are nearly flat while others are strongly convex or curved.[2] the edges may be flat or rolled back in the reverse direction to that of the curvature of the shield. dhal shields were either made from metal or hide.[3]"},"estimateMax":2000,"lotNumber":"2H","title":{"en":"ottoman antique iron armor: helmet, tabar axe, dhal buckler

references: the khazars[a] (/ˈxɑːzɑːrz/) were a semi-nomadic turkic people that in the late 7th-century ad established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern european russia, southern ukraine, crimea, and kazakhstan.[11] they created what for its duration was the most powerful polity to emerge from the break-up of the western turkic khaganate.[12] astride a major artery of commerce between eastern europe and southwestern asia, khazaria became one of the foremost trading empires of the early medieval world, commanding the western marches of the silk road and playing a key commercial role as a crossroad between china, the middle east and kievan rus'.[13][14] for some three centuries (c. 650\u2013965) the khazars dominated the vast area extending from the volga-don steppes to the eastern crimea and the northern caucasus.[15] khazaria long served as a buffer state between the byzantine empire and both the nomads of the northern steppes and the umayyad caliphate and abbasid caliphate, after serving as the byzantine empire's proxy against the sasanian empire. the alliance was dropped around 900. byzantium began to encourage the alans to attack khazaria and to weaken its hold on crimea and the caucasus and sought to obtain an entente with the rising rus' power to the north, which it aspired to convert to christianity.[16] between 965 and 969, the kievan rus' ruler, sviatoslav i of kiev, as well as his allies, conquered the capital, atil, and ended khazaria's independence. the brief rump state that ensued was again overrun, and the khazars were dispersed or absorbed into surrounding populations. determining the origins and nature of the khazars is closely bound with theories of their languages, but it is a matter of intricate difficulty since no indigenous records in the khazar language survive, and the state was polyglot and polyethnic. the native religion of the khazars is thought to have been tengrism, like that of the north caucasian huns and other turkic peoples.[17] the poly-ethnic populace of the khazar khaganate appears to have been a multi-confessional mosaic of pagan, tengrist, jewish, christian and muslim worshippers.[18] some of the khazars (i.e., kabars) joined the ancient hungarians in the 9th century. the ruling elite of the khazars was said by judah halevi and abraham ibn daud to have converted to rabbinic judaism in the 8th century,[19] but the scope of the conversion to judaism within the khazar khanate remains uncertain.[20] where the khazars dispersed after the fall of the empire is subject to many conjectures. proposals have been made regarding the possibility of a khazar factor in the ethnogenesis of numerous peoples, such as the hazaras, hungarians, the kazakhs, the cossacks of the don region and of ukraine, bukharan jews, the muslim kumyks, the turkic-speaking krymchaks and their crimean neighbors the crimean karaites, the moldavian csángós, the mountain jews, even some subbotniks (on the basis of their ukrainian and cossack origin and others).[21][22][23] the late 19th century saw the emergence of the theory that the core of today's ashkenazi jews are descended from a hypothetical khazarian jewish diaspora which migrated westward from modern-day russia and ukraine into modern-day france and germany. linguistic and genetic studies have not supported the theory of a khazar connection to ashkenazi jewry. the theory still occasionally finds support, but most scholars view it with considerable skepticism.[24][20][25] the theory is sometimes associated with antisemitism[26] and anti-zionism.[27]"},"estimateMax":10000,"lotNumber":"3B","title":{"en":"76 cm long, khazar empire semi-nomadic iron sword, 650-965

the bireme. they were famed in classical greece and rome as 'traders in purple', referring to their monopoly on the precious purple dye of the murex snail, used, among other things, for royal clothing, and for their spread of the alphabet (or abjad), upon which all major modern alphabets are derived. in the amarna tablets of the 14th century bc, people from the region called themselves kenaani or kinaani (canaanites), although these letters predate the invasion of the sea peoples by over a century. much later, in the 6th century bc, hecataeus of miletus writes that phoenicia was formerly called a name philo of byblos later adopted into his mythology as his eponym for the phoenicians: \"khna who was afterwards called phoinix\". egyptian seafaring expeditions had already been made to byblos to bring back \"cedars of lebanon\" as early as the third millennium bc. \"phoenicia\" is really a classical greek term used to refer to the region of the major canaanite port towns, and does not correspond exactly to a cultural identity that would have been recognized by the phoenicians themselves. it is uncertain to what extent the phoenicians viewed themselves as a single ethnicity. their civilization was organized in city-states, similar to ancient greece. however, in terms of archaeology, language, life style and religion, there is little to set the phoenicians apart as markedly different from other cultures of canaan. as canaanites, they were unique in their remarkable seafaring achievements. each of their cities was a city-state which was politically an independent unit and they could come into conflict and one city could be dominated by another city-state, although they would collaborate in leagues or alliances. though ancient boundaries of such city-centered cultures fluctuated, the city of tyre seems to have been the southernmost. sarepta (modern day sarafand) between sidon and tyre is the most thoroughly excavated city of the phoenician homeland. the phoenicians were the first state-level society to make extensive use of the alphabet. the phoenician phonetic alphabet is generally believed to be the ancestor of almost all modern alphabets, although it did not contain any vowels (these were added later by the greeks). from a traditional linguistic perspective, they spoke phoenician, a canaanite dialect. however, due to the very slight differences in language, and the insufficient records of the time, whether phoenician formed a separate and united dialect, or was merely a superficially defined part of a broader language continuum, is unclear. through their maritime trade, the phoenicians spread the use of the alphabet to north africa and europe, where it was adopted by the greeks, who later passed it on to the etruscans, who in turn transmitted it to the romans. in addition to their many inscriptions, the phoenicians were believed to have left numerous other types of written sources, but most have not survived. evangelical preparation by eusebius of caesarea quotes extensively from philo of byblos and sanchuniathon. \n \n condition authentic patina, one side of the plate with several letters

witchcraft and secret slander\".[13] references: central asian jewelry and their symbols in ancient time http://www.artwis.com/articles/central-asian-jewelry-and-their-symbols-in-ancient-time/ among the imaginary animals represented in jewelry, the most popular one is the gryphon (animal-shaped bracelets nos.116 and 116a from the treasure of oxus) (6). in central asia, the gryphon first appeared in the 5th-4th centuries b.c. its original iconography was formed in the early states of the front-asian world. in greek mythology, the gryphon is a monstrous bird with the beak of an eagle and the body of a lion. in the ancient and medieval art of central asia, the gryphon was a protector from evil, witchcraft and secret slander. the image of the lion-gryphon penetrated into central asian art in 5th-4th century b.c. from achaemenian iran. the greeks, however, believed that it originated from bactria and that each historical-artistic area produced its own version of a gryphon: a lion-gryphon, a dog-like gryphon, a horse-like gryphon, etc. (15) references (wikipedia): the griffin, griffon, or gryphon (greek: , grýphon, or , grýp'n, early form, grýps; latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. the griffin was also thought of as king of all creatures. griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.[1] adrienne mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the protoceratops found in gold mines in the altai mountains of scythia, in present-day southeastern kazakhstan, or in mongolia.[2] in antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.[3] while griffins are most common in the art and lore of ancient greece[citation needed], there is evidence of representations of griffins in ancient persian and ancient egyptian art dating back to before 3000 bc.[5] in egypt, a griffin can be seen in a cosmetic palette from hierakonpolis, known as the \"two dog palette\",[6][7] which is dated to ca. 3300-3100 bc.[8] in persia, griffins appeared on cylinder seals from susa as early as 3000 bc.[9] griffin depictions appear in the levant, syria, and anatolia in the middle bronze age,[10][11] dated at about 1950-1550 bc.[12] early depictions of griffins in ancient greek art are found in the 15th century bc frescoes in the throne room of the bronze age palace of knossos, as restored by sir arthur evans. it continued being a favored decorative theme in archaic and classical greek art. in central asia the griffin appears about a thousand years after bronze age crete, in the 5th\u00964th centuries bc, probably originating from the achaemenid persian empire. the achaemenids considered the griffin \"a protector from evil, witchcraft and secret slander\".[13] the modern generalist calls it the lion-griffin, as for example, robin lane fox, in alexander the great, 1973:31 and notes p. 506, who remarks a lion-griffin attacking a stag in a pebble mosaic dartmouth college expedition at pella, perhaps as an emblem of the kingdom of macedon or a personal one of alexander's successor antipater. the pisa griffin is a large bronze sculpture which has been in pisa in italy since the middle ages, though it is of islamic origin. it is the largest bronze medieval islamic sculpture known, at over three feet tall (42.5 inches, or 1.08 m.), and was probably created in the 11th century in al-andaluz (islamic spain).[14] from about 1100 it was placed on a column on the roof of pisa cathedral until replaced by a replica in 1832; the original is now in the museo dell' opera del duomo (cathedral museum), pisa. history of pakistan pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world and is the second most populous country with a muslim majority. its territory was a part of the pre-partitioned british india and has a long history of settlement and civilization including the indus valley civilization. most of it was conquered in the 1st millennium bce by persians and greeks. waves of conquerors and migrants including harappan, indo-aryan, persian, grecian, saka, parthian, kushan, white hun, afghan, arab, turkics, and mughal settled in the indo-gangetic plains throughout the centuries, influencing the locals and being absorbed among them. the indus valley civilization collapsed in the middle of the second millennium bce and was followed by the vedic civilization, which extended over much of the indo-gangetic plains. successive empires and kingdoms ruled the region from the achaemenid persian empire around 543 bce, to alexander the great in 326 bce and the mauryan empire. the indo-greek kingdom founded by demetrius of bactria included gandhara and punjab from 184 bce, and reached its greatest extent under menander, establishing the greco-buddhist period with advances in trade and culture. the city of taxila (takshashila) became a major center of learning in ancient times - the remains of the city, located to the west of islamabad, are one of the country's major archaeological sites. later arrivals include the arabs, afghans, turks, baloch and mongols."},"estimateMax":12000,"lotNumber":"21","title":{"en":"bronze age mirror with griffin, achaemenid persian empire, 550 bc

ex nyc collection, acquired in 1980s. scythians the scythians (/?s??i.?n/ or /?s?ði.?n/; from greek ??????, ??????), also known as scyth, saka, sakae, sacae, sai, iskuzai, or askuzai, were a large group of eurasian nomads who were mentioned by the literate peoples surrounding them as inhabiting large areas in the central eurasian steppes from about the 9th century bc until about the 1st century bc.[5] the \"classical scythians\" known to ancient greek historians were located in the northern black sea and fore-caucasus region. other scythian groups documented by assyrian, achaemenid and chinese sources show that they also existed in central asia, where they were referred to as the iskuzai/askuzai, saka (old persian: sak?; new persian: ????; greek: ?????; armenian: ??????????; latin: sacae, sanskrit: ?? ?aka), and sai (chinese: ?; old chinese: *s??k), respectively.[8] the relationships between the peoples living in these widely separated regions remains unclear. the term \"scythian\" is used by modern scholars in an archaeological context for finds perceived to display attributes of the \"scytho-siberian\" culture, usually without implying an ethnic or linguistic connotation.[9] the term scythic may also be used in a similar way,[10] \"to describe a special phase that followed the widespread diffusion of mounted nomadism, characterized by the presence of special weapons, horse gear, and animal art in the form of metal plaques\".[11] their westernmost territories during the iron age were known to classical greek sources as scythia. the scythians were among the earliest peoples to master mounted warfare.[1] in the 8th century bc they possibly raided zhou china.[12] soon after they expanded westwards and dislodged the cimmerians from power on the pontic steppe.[13] at their peak, scythians came to dominate the entire steppe zone,[14][15] stretching from the carpathian mountains in the west to central china (ordos culture) and the south siberia (tagar culture) in the east,[9][16] creating what has been referred to as the first central asian nomadic empire.[13][17] based in what is modern-day ukraine, southern european russia, and crimea, the western scythians were ruled by a wealthy class known as the royal scyths. the scythians established and controlled a vast trade network connecting greece, persia, india and china, perhaps contributing to the contemporary flourishing of those civilizations.[18] settled metalworkers made portable decorative objects for the scythians. these objects survive mainly in metal, forming a distinctive scythian art.[19] in the 7th century bc the scythians crossed the caucasus and frequently raided the middle east along with the cimmerians, playing an important role in the political developments of the region.[13] around 650\u0096630 bc, scythians briefly dominated the medes of the western iranian plateau,[20][21] stretching their power all the way to the borders of egypt.[1] after losing control over media the scythians continued intervening in middle eastern affairs, playing a leading role in the destruction of the assyrian empire in the sack of nineveh in 612 bc. the scythians subsequently engaged in frequent conflicts with the achaemenid empire. the western scythians suffered a major defeat against macedonia in the 4th century bc,[1] and were subsequently gradually conquered by the sarmatians.[22] the eastern scythians of the asian steppe (saka) were attacked by the yuezhi, wusun and xiongnu in the 2nd century bc, prompting many of them to migrate into south asia,[23][24] where they became known as indo-scythians.[25] at some point, perhaps as late as the 3rd century ad after the demise of the han dynasty and the xiongnu, eastern scythians crossed the pamir mountains and settled in the western tarim basin, where the scythian khotanese and tumshuqese languages are attested in brahmi scripture from the 10th and 11th centuries ad.[24][26] in eastern europe, by the early medieval ages, the scythians and their closely related sarmatians were eventually assimilated and absorbed (e.g. slavicisation) by the proto-slavic population of the region.[27][28][29][30] scythians kept herds of horses, cattle, and sheep, lived in tent-covered wagons, and fought with bows and arrows on horseback. they developed a rich culture characterized by opulent tombs, fine metalwork, and a brilliant art style.[7]"},"estimateMax":2000,"lotNumber":"25","title":{"en":"scythian open work bronze plaque with 2 deer, circa 900-400

flint will produce enough sparks to ignite a fire with the correct tinder, or gunpowder used in weapons. although it has been superseded in these uses by different processes (the percussion cap), or

87 mm x 39 mm x 20 mm; weight: 74.83 g; mohs hardness: 9.5-10.0; material: chert; chert is a hard, fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of crystals of quartz (silica) that are very small. in prehistoric times, chert was often used as a raw material for the construction of stone tools. like obsidian, as well as some rhyolites, felsites, quartzites, and other tool stones used in lithic reduction, chert fractures in a hertzian cone when struck with sufficient force. this results in conchoidal fractures, a characteristic of all minerals with no cleavage planes. in this kind of fracture, a cone of force propagates through the material from the point of impact, eventually removing a full or partial cone cleavers in archaeology, a cleaver is a type of biface stone tool of the lower palaeolithic. cleavers resemble hand axes in that they are large and oblong or u-shaped tools meant to be held in the hand. but, unlike hand axes, they have a wide, straight cutting edge running at right angles to the axis of the tool. acheulean cleavers resemble hand-axes but with the pointed end truncated away. flake cleavers have a cutting edge created by a tranchet flake being struck from the primary surface. the lower paleolithic (or lower palaeolithic) is the earliest subdivision of the paleolithic or old stone age. it spans the time from around 3 million years ago when the first evidence for stone tool production and use by hominins appears in the current archaeological record,[1] until around 300,000 years ago, spanning the oldowan (\"mode 1\") and acheulean (\"mode 2\") lithics industries. oldowan ~2.5 to 1.2 million years ago. the oldowan is the oldest-known stone tool industry. dating as far back as 2.5 million years ago, these tools are a major milestone in human evolutionary history: the earliest evidence of cultural behavior. homo habilis, an ancestor of homo sapiens, manufactured oldowan tools. first discovered at olduvai gorge in tanzania, oldowan artifacts have been recovered from several localities in eastern, central, and southern africa, the oldest of which is a site at gona, ethiopia. oldowan technology is typified by what are known as \"choppers.\" choppers are stone cores with flakes removed from part of the surface, creating a sharpened edge that was used for cutting, chopping, and scraping (image 1985\u20130235). microscopic surface analysis of the flakes struck from cores has shown that some of these flakes were also used as tools for cutting plants and butchering animals. acheulean ~1.6 million to 200,000 years ago the acheulean tradition constituted a veritable revolution in stone-age technology. acheulean stone tools - named after the site of st. acheul on the somme river in france where artifacts from this tradition were first discovered in 1847 - have been found over an immense area of the old world. reports of hand axe discoveries span an area extending from southern africa to northern europe and from western europe to the indian sub-continent. acheulean stone tools are the products of homo erectus, a closer ancestor to modern humans. not only are the acheulean tools found over the largest area, but it is also the longest-running industry, lasting for over a million years. the earliest known acheulean artifacts from africa have been dated to 1.6 million years ago. the oldest acheulean sites in india are only slightly younger than those in africa. in europe, the earliest acheulean tools appear just after 800,000 years ago, as h. erectus moved north out of africa. acheulean technology is best characterized by its distinctive stone hand axes. these hand axes are pear shaped, teardrop shaped, or rounded in outline, usually 12\u201320 cm long and flaked over at least part of the surface of each side (bi-facial). there is considerable variation in size and quality of workmanship. acheulean hand axes were multi-purpose tools used in a variety of tasks. studies of surface-wear patterns reveal the uses of the hand axe included the butchering and skinning of game, digging in soil, and cutting wood or other plant materials. additionally, acheulean tools are sometimes found with animal bones that show signs of having been butchered. the handaxe was not the only target of the acheulean manufacturing process. like the oldowan, the flakes struck off the stone core in creating the handaxe were also used as scrapers and cutting instruments (image 70\u201315). later acheulean industry, employed the levallois technique that yielded flakes of preplanned shape and size, greatly improved the efficiency and utility of flakes as tools (image 74-18). museum of anthropology collection the african hand-axes in the museum of anthropology collection at the university of missouri are from southern and northern africa. the oldest artifact (image 1980\u20131008), from the sahara, dates between 1,750,000 and 800,000 years ago. others from the sahara date from 500,000 and 400,000 years ago (images 1980\u20131010 & 1980\u20131013, respectively). another handaxe is from the early stone age (image 1985\u20130236). it should be noted that not all of the european lower paleolithic: acheulean ~1.6 million to 200,000 years ago, human tool \u2013 chert cleaver, from w. europe are acheulean, as the production of handaxes continued into the early phases of the following stone tool traditions in both africa and europe. a handaxe from st. acheul, france, has a recorded date of 500,000 b.p. (image 1980\u20131009; see also image 1980\u20131011, 1980\u20131012 & 1980\u20131014 for artifacts with similar dates). another from the lower station of the famous site of le moustier, france, is dated to 400,000 b.p. and shows definite evidence of the levallois flaking technique (image 1980\u20131015). also found at le moustier are handaxes from the mousterian - the stone tool industry of homo neanderthalensis (neandertals) - which began around 200,000 years ago and lasted until about 40,000 years ago in europe and parts of asia (image 1980\u20131016). the oldowan and acheulean artifacts are representative of an important breakthrough in early human prehistory. for at least the past two and a half million years, the ability to make and use tools is a skill that has enabled humankind to thrive by making primitive tools."},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"25S","title":{"en":"lower paleolithic: acheulean ~1.6 million to 200,000 years ago, human tool \u2013 chert cleaver,

periods: earliest inhabitants archaeologists believe that humans have lived in seminole county for at least 12,000 years, perhaps much longer. clovis and folsom points, associated with late ice age big game hunters have been found in the upper chattahoochee river valley. during the ice age, herds of giant mammals roamed the river bottom lands. the mastodons, saber tooth tigers, giant sloths and other massive mammals died out about 8,000 years ago. the ethnic identity of the clovis culture hunters is not known. they were long presumed to be american indians, but recent research by anthropologists have revealed many similarities with the big game hunters of western europe. an ice cap on the north atlantic ocean may have permitted early humans to move back and forth between continents by paddling, while gaining sustenance from hunting sea mammals and fishing. archaic period (8,000 bc \u2013 1,000 bc) after the climate warmed, animals and plants typical of today soon predominated in this region. humans adapted to the changes and gradually became more sophisticated. they adopted seasonal migratory patterns that maximized access to food resources. archaic hunters probably moved to locations along major rivers during the winter, where they could eat fish and fresh water mussels, if game was not plentiful. during the remainder of the year, smaller streams would have been desirable camp sites. seminole county was an ideal location for bands of hunters and gatherers. the county\u2019s network of creeks and wetlands provided a diverse ecological environment for game animals and edible plants. native americans learned to set massive brush fires in the late autumn which cleared the landscape of shrubs and created natural pastures for deer, bison and elk. the georgia piedmont had numerous woodland bison until they were killed off by british settlers in the mid-1700s. bison may have also lived on the coastal plain in earlier times. the landscape that european settlers encountered in the chattahoochee valley was not natural. it had been altered for thousands of years by native americans to create optimum environments for the natural production of food sources. bottomlands were cleared to create agricultural fields. each autumn, the creeks intentionally set fires to burn out shrubs and forest undergrowth in order to create grazing lands for deer, bison and elk. woodland period (1000 bc \u2013 900 ad) the etowah, chattahoochee and flint river valleys were locations of some of the earliest permanent villages in north america. a sedentary lifestyle was made possible by abundant natural food sources such as game, freshwater mussels and chestnuts and the cultivation of gardens. agriculture came very seminole here. initially, the cultivated plants were of indigenous origin and included a native squash, native sweet potato, sunflowers, jerusalem artichoke, amaranth, sumpweed, and chenopodium. the first village farmers of the region are now known as the deptford culture. the culture lasted from around 2,500 bc to 100 bc. the oldest known pottery in the western hemisphere was discovered near augusta, ga on stallings island. it was probably made by people associated with the deptford culture. deptford culture artifacts can be along the south atlantic coast, most of georgia, southern & eastern alabama, plus the upper gulf coast of florida."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"26","title":{"en":"a set of 18 neolithic flint arrowheads points + slate spade, from seminole county,

provenance: private collection of arms in florida. the tantō is a dagger, but is used as a knife. the blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm (1 japanese shaku). the tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. tantō are generally forged in hira-zukuri style (without ridgeline),[1][5] meaning that their sides have no ridge line and are nearly flat, unlike the shinogi-zukuri structure of a katana. some tantō have particularly thick cross-sections for armor-piercing duty, and are called yoroi toshi. a tantō (短刀, \"short sword\") [1] is one of the traditionally made japanese swords[2] (nihonto)[3][4] that were worn by the samurai class of feudal japan. the tantō dates to the heian period, when it was mainly used as a weapon but evolved in design over the years to become more ornate. tantō were used in traditional martial arts (tantojutsu). the term has seen a resurgence in the west since the 1980s as a point style of modern tactical knives, designed for piercing or stabbing. the production of swords in japan is divided into specific time periods: \u2022 jokoto (ancient swords, until around 900 a.d.) \u2022 koto (old swords from around 900\u20131596) \u2022 shinto (new swords 1596\u20131780) \u2022 shinshinto (new swords 1781\u20131876) \u2022 gendaito (modern swords 1876\u20131945)[10] \u2022

reference: yari (槍) is the term for a traditionally-made japanese blade (nihonto)[2][3] in the form of a spear, or more specifically, the straight-headed spear.[4] the martial art of wielding the yari is called sōjutsu. early yari are believed to have been derived from chinese spears. these hoko yari are thought to be from the nara period (710\u2013794).[5][6] while they were present in early japanese history, the term 'yari' appeared for the first time in written sources in 1334 and this type of spear did not become popular until the late 15th century.[1] the original warfare of the bushi was not a thing for commoners; it was a ritualized combat usually between two warriors who would challenge each other via horseback archery.[7] in the late heian period, battles on foot began to increase and naginata, a polearm, became a main weapon along with a yumi (longbow).[8] the attempted mongol invasions of japan in 1274 and 1281 was one of the factors that changed japanese weaponry and warfare. the mongols employed chinese and korean footmen wielding long pikes and fought in tight formations. they moved in large units to stave off cavalry.[7] polearms (including naginata and yari) were of much greater military use than swords, due to their significantly longer reach, lighter weight per unit length (though overall a polearm would be fairly hefty), and their great piercing ability.[7] in the nanbokuchō period, battles on foot by groups became the mainstream and the importance of naginata further increased, but yari were not yet the main weapon. however, from the onin war in 15th century in the muromachi period, large-scale group battles started in which mobilized ashigaru (foot troops) fought on foot and in close quarters, and yari, yumi and tanegashima (japanese matchlock) became the main weapons.[8][9][10][11] swords in a full battle situation were therefore relegated to emergency sidearm status from the heian through the muromachi periods.[7] around the latter half of the 16th century, ashigaru holding pikes (nagae yari) with length of 4.5 to 6.5 m (15 to 21 ft) became the main forces in armies. they formed lines, combined with soldiers bearing firearms tanegashima and short spears. pikemen formed a two or three row line, and were trained to move their pikes in unison under command. all of the three great spears of japan were forged by the 16th century in the muromachi period.[12] the yari eventually became more popular than the yumi (longbow) as a weapon for the samurai, and foot troops (ashigaru) followed suit and used them extensively.[7] with the coming of the edo period the yari had fallen into disuse. greater emphasis was placed on small-scale, close quarters combat, so the convenience of swords led to their dominance, and pole-arms and archery lost their practical value. during the peaceful edo period, yari were still produced (sometimes even by renowned sword-smiths), although they existed mostly as either a ceremonial weapon or as a police weapon."},"estimateMax":10000,"lotNumber":"28A","title":{"en":"forged by 東都藤原國重作, japanese yari spear 54 cm, muromachi period

of feudal japan, as well as by ashigaru (foot soldiers) and sōhei (warrior monks).[3] the naginata is the iconic weapon of the onna-bugeisha, a type of female warrior belonging to the japanese nobility. naginata for fighting men and warrior monks were ō-naginata. the kind used by women was called ko-naginata. it is generally believed that naginata first appeared in the heian period,[10] but there is a theory that it is unclear when it first appeared because the physical evidence of their existence dates only from the mid-kamakura period and there were various notations of naginata in the heian period.[9] earlier 10th through 12th century sources refer to \"long swords\" that while a common medieval term or orthography for naginata, could also simply be referring to conventional swords; one source describes a naginata being drawn with the verb nuku, commonly associated with swords, rather than hazusu, the verb otherwise used in medieval texts for unsheathing naginata.[9] some 11th and 12th century mentions of hoko may actually have been referring to naginata.[11] the commonly assumed association of the naginata and the sōhei is also unclear. artwork from the late-13th and 14th centuries depict the sōhei with naginata but do not appear to place any special significance to it: the weapons appear as just one of a number of others carried by the monks, and are used by samurai and commoners as well.[12] depictions of naginata-armed sōhei in earlier periods were created centuries after the fact, and are likely using the naginata as a symbol to distinguish the sōhei from other warriors, rather than giving an accurate portrayal of the events.[13] in the peaceful edo period, weapons' value - as battlefield weapons - became diminished and their value - for martial arts and self-defense rose. the naginata was accepted as a status symbol and self-defense weapon for women of nobility, resulting in the image that \"the naginata is the main weapon used by women\".[citation needed] a naginata was commonly a dowry of women of the nobility. but historical recordings describing the practice of martial arts by women are rare and uncertain."},"estimateMax":40000,"lotNumber":"28C","title":{"en":"naginata, signed by 清長 kiyonaga, japanese samurai sword, muromachi period

bactria was located between the hindu kush mountain range and the amu darya river, covering the flat region that straddles modern-day afghanistan, uzbekistan and tajikistan. bactria, the territory of which bactra [balkh] was the capital, originally consisted of the area south of the ?m? dary? with its string of agricultural oases dependent on water taken from the rivers of bal?

in the world.[1] urbanized culture has existed in the land from between 3000 and 2000 bc.[1][2][3] artifacts typical of the paleolithic, mesolithic, neolithic, bronze, and iron ages have been found inside afghanistan.[3] after the indus valley civilization which stretched up to northeast afghanistan,[4] it was inhabited by the iranian tribes and controlled by the medes until about 500 bc when darius the great (darius i) marched with his persian army to make it part of the achaemenid empire. in 330 bc, alexander the great of macedonia invaded the land after defeating darius iii of persia in the battle of gaugamela. much of afghanistan became part of the seleucid empire followed by the greco-bactrian kingdom. the area south of the hindu kush had been given by seleucus i nicator to chandragupta maurya and became part of the maurya empire. the land was inhabited by various tribes and ruled by many different kingdoms for the next two millenniums. before the arrival of islam in the

(simplified chinese: ?; traditional chinese: ?; pinyin: shòu) is the chinese word/character for \"longevity\". three of the most important goals in life in chinese traditional thought are the propitious blessings of happiness (fú ?), professional success or prosperity (lù ?), and longevity (shòu ?). these are visually represented by the three \"star gods\" of the same names (fú, lù, shòu), commonly depicted as three male figurines[1] (each wearing a distinctive garment and holding an object that enables them to be differentiated), or the chinese ideographs/characters themselves, or various homophones or objects with relevant attributes. shòu is instantly recognizable. \"he holds in his hand a large peach, and attached to his long staff are a gourd and a scroll. the stag and the bat both indicate fu happiness. the peach, gourd, and scroll are symbols of longevity.\"[2] his most striking characteristic is, however, his large and high forehead, which earned him the title \"longevity star old-pate\".[2] the chinese character shòu (?) is usually found on textiles, furniture, ceramics and jewelry, generally in its more complex ideograph (?), but also in its simplified (post-1950) form (?). the ideograph may appear alone or be surrounded by flowers, bats, or other good luck symbols, but will always hold a central position. longevity is commonly recognized as one of the five blessings (w?fú ?? - longevity, wealth, health, love of virtue, a peaceful death) of chinese belief[3] that are often depicted in the homophonous rendition of five flying bats because the word for \"bat\" in chinese (fú ?) sounds like the word for \"good fortune\" or \"happiness\" or in this case, \"blessings\".[4] in this arrangement, the shòu ideograph sometimes takes the dominant central position, replacing the fifth bat. other symbols in chinese iconography that represent longevity include pine trees, cranes, spotted deer, special collectors' stones (shòushí), peaches, and tortoises.[5] these are often depicted in small groupings to emphasize the central, symbolic meaning of the picture (for example, cranes standing amongst pine trees). perhaps the most common chinese auspicious saying concerning longevity is that found on scrolls in nearly every chinese calligraphy shop in the world: shòu sh'n fú h'i, which can be translated as \"may your life be as steadfast as the mountains and your good fortune as limitless as the seas\". since 2017, the version 10 of the unicode standard features a rounded version of the symbol in the \"enclosed ideographic supplement\" block, at code point u+1f262 (rounded symbol for shou).[6]"},"estimateMax":1600,"lotNumber":"32","title":{"en":"antique chinese silver necklace \u0093god of longevity shou ? on the

developed in china from the 6th century ce onwards, becoming dominant during the tang and song dynasties.[3] after the yuan dynasty, chan more or less fused with pure land buddhism. chan is the originating tradition of zen buddhism (the japanese pronunciation of the same character, which is the most commonly used name for the school in english). chan buddhism spread from china south to vietnam as thiền and north to korea as seon, and, in the 13th century, east to japan as japanese zen."},"estimateMax":50000,"lotNumber":"53","title":{"en":"南北朝-隋朝 chinese bodhisattva carved stone

buddhism.[1] in buddhism, mahākāla is regarded as the sacred dharmapāla (\"protector of the dharma\"), while in hinduism, mahākāla is a fierce manifestation of the hindu god shiva and the consort of the goddess mahākālī;[1] he most prominently appears in the kalikula sect of shaktism.[2][3][4] mahākāla also appears as a protector deity in vajrayana, chinese esoteric, and tibetan buddhism[1] (see citipati), and also in the chàn and shingon traditions. he is known as dàhēitiān and daaih'hāktīn (大黑天) in mandarin and cantonese, daeheukcheon (대흑천) in korean, đại hắc thiên in vietnamese, and daikokuten (大黒天) in japanese. in buddhism, wrathful deities or fierce deities are the fierce, wrathful or forceful (tibetan: trowo, sanskrit: krodha) forms (or \"aspects\", \"manifestations\") of enlightened buddhas, bodhisattvas or devas (divine beings). because of their power to destroy the obstacles to enlightenment, they are also termed krodha-vighnantaka, \"wrathful onlookers on destroying obstacles\".[1] wrathful deities are a notable feature of the iconography of mahayana and vajrayana buddhism. these types of deities first appeared in india during the late 6th century, with its main source being the yaksha imagery, and became a central feature of indian tantric buddhism by the late 10th or early 11th

driven bits of reed and, later, during the chalcolithic, copper. these drilled a hole with a core of agate inside the tubular drill. tubular bit holes were parallel walled rather than conical, but also done from both ends. both methods required arduous work done with a bow drill, with time and effort being determined by hardness of abrasive, from ground sand (quartz) to corundum."},"estimateMax":6000,"lotNumber":"61C","title":{"en":"dragon skin 6 eyes white agate + red spots dzi bead, tibet, circa 200 bc-200

traditional chinese: 觀音; pinyin: guānyīn) is a bodhisattva associated with compassion. she is the east asian representation of avalokiteśvara (sanskrit: अवलोकितेश्वर) and has been adopted by other eastern religions, including chinese folk religion.[note 1] she was first given the appellation of \"goddess of mercy\" or \"mercy goddess\" by jesuit missionaries in china.[1] guanyin is short for guanshiyin, which means \"[the one who] perceives the sounds of the world.\"[2] on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, guanyin's attainment of buddhahood is celebrated.[3] some buddhists believe that when one of their adherents departs from this world, they are placed by guanyin in the heart of a lotus, and then sent to the western pure land of sukhāvatī.[4] guanyin is often referred to as the \"most widely beloved buddhist divinity\"[5] with miraculous powers to assist all those who pray to her, as is mentioned in the pumen chapter of lotus sutra and kāraṇḍavyūha sūtra. several large temples in east asia are dedicated to guanyin, including shaolin monastery, longxing temple, puning temple, nanhai guanyin temple, dharma drum mountain, kwan im thong hood cho temple, shitennō-ji, sensō-ji, kiyomizu-dera, sanjūsangen-dō, and many others. guanyin's abode and bodhimaṇḍa in india is recorded as being on mount potalaka. with the localization of the belief in guanyin, each area adopted their own potalaka. in chinese buddhism, mount putuo is considered the bodhimaṇḍa of guanyin. naksansa is considered to be the potalaka of guanyin in korea. japan's potalaka is located at fudarakusan-ji. tibet's potalaka is the potala palace. there are several pilgrimage centers for guanyin in east asia. putuoshan is the main pilgrimage site in china. there is a 33 temple guanyin pilgrimage in korea which includes naksansa. in japan, there are several pilgrimages associated with guanyin. the oldest one of them is the saigoku kannon pilgrimage, a pilgrimage through 33 temples with guanyin shrines. guanyin is beloved by most buddhist traditions in a nondenominational way and found in most tibetan temples under the name chenrézik (wylie: spyan ras gzigs). guanyin is also beloved and worshipped in the temples in nepal. the hiranya varna mahavihar located in patan is one example. guanyin is also found in some influential theravada temples such as gangaramaya temple, kelaniya and natha devale nearby temple of the tooth in sri lanka; guanyin can also be found in thailand's temple of the emerald buddha, wat huay pla kang (where the huge statue of her is often mistakenly called the \"big buddha\") and burma's shwedagon pagoda. statues of guanyin are a widely depicted subject of asian art and found in the asian art sections of most museums in the

(not for tourists). there are still remnants of original blue and green colors, although the main color brown. the meaning of the colors you can read below. tibetan masks such as this quality and age are often offered between $ 1500 and $ 2500 qiang mu and tibetan drama follow some patterns in using masks. since tibetan people are all buddhism followers, showing infinite piety to buddha, the facial makeup imitating buddha are not simply objects. they remain buddhist idols, such as dharmaraja, protective divinities and thunderbolts. therefore, homage to masks is actually showing a respect to the deities. in particular, the facial makeup of the angry-looking type and fierce-looking type are esteemed, because they are powerful enough to deter evil spirits. each time to fetch the masks for qiang mu and tibetan drama performances, people would first recite sutras. when the performances are ended, they would recite sutras before putting the masks back to cases or hanging them on walls. this is a ritual that must be followed to fetch masks in all temples of tibetan buddhism. qinghai tibetan masks are sculpted under rigid formats. qiang mu and tibetan drama characters are largely introduced from buddhims stories. the facial makeup is generally made to follow the original versions in image measurement scripture, notes to buddha on image measurement scripture, painting measurement scripture, painting treasure, and origins of craftsmanship. they are mainly produced by temple lama artisans and folk craftsmen, including some with superior skills. for example, jiancuo, a master of art from regong, tongren county, is a best to produce solid pullover masks, famous in the tibetan areas. although tibetan masks follow the image measurement scripture in the buddhism sutras, the temples might vary in exact moulds of the facial makeup. the differences originate from how the craftsmen understand buddha statues and their actual skills in productions. as a result, the facial makeup art shows extraordinary splendor. in the early years, rough blank masks were made of red earth, paper pulp, gesso, white cloth, paper, and paste. they were smeared two to third times, and finally brushed with tung oil and lacquer for two times. along with process of the time, the materials and processing technologies are upgraded. loose clay and marble of fit sizes are adopted to have a rough mask engraved. after that, thin cloth is torn into small pieces to be pasted on the mould for many layers with the help of bone glues and facial glues, till they reach considerable thickness. when the cloth embryos are dried, chop the surface smooth with a sharp knife, and daub concentrated clay paste upon the cloth embryo (smear after it is dried for many rounds). when the mire is dried, come to the he zuo da er working procedure (first rub it smooth with coarse and fine cloths, and then polish it slowly with millstone). fix up the interior of the mask with thin bamboo strips and rubber colts. in the end, paint it with colors, brush lacquer upon the colors, finalize the design, and decorate it with all sorts of ornaments. leading deity masks may be extended in sizes along to the positions of the deities and respects from the people. the bigger ones may reach several feet in length. dyes are applied under strict specifications. in the early stage, stone colors were used. confined by economic conditions, the regions with poorer economy would apply modern ads colors, while the well-off regions would adopt pure gold powder and mineral pigments imported from germany and the united states. the masks are painted while the pigments are abraded. the most favored colors are pure red, pure yellow, pure blue, pure green, pure black and white. half tints are seldom used. the colors must look simple, keen and gorgeous. the patterns must be decorative, showing sharply contrasted colors. the lacquer-smeared surface will look shiny, foiling imposing, stately and mysterious manners. facial makeup is a genre of the tibetan buddhism painting art. the colors are of religious symbolic implications. they are painted with specific colors according to their roles in the tenets. this is a tradition criterion to be followed. buddhism sutras say the eyes are keen to four colors, which are green, yellow, red and white, the cardinal colors in tibetan paintings. tibetan masks follow same principles to use colors with tibetan paintings. red is a main color to express the three virtues of authority, tranquility and indignation in buddhism. when it is applied to women, red denotes love, passion and joy. monk cassocks, monk cassock decorations, sea of flames supporting divinities, nirmanakaya countenance, and dakini body are largely shown with the red color, to deliver stateliness, awe and fervor. yellow symbolizes mercy, widsom, prosperity, and merits and virtues. buddhism paintings are generally drawn with the yellow color, particularly the faces and exposed limbs of deities and buddhas, their crowns, and background color of palace roofs. in order to pop out the tenet connotations of yellow and strengthen color effects, pure gold is also applied as dye. the technique has been perfect to apply gilt to a surface. blue represents power, bravery and awe. it is used in protector deity statues and buddha figure backgrounds. the architecture door frames are also decorated with blue. green implies infinite mercy, and expresses sweet dew, cool breeze, saving other living creatures, great deeds, and good conducts. green is indispensable to paint buddha and bodhisattva background, green tara, and foil the main objects. black is largely used to express evils and darkness. it is sometimes applied to incarnate extraordinary protective guardians pledging allegiance to the power of buddha. white is adopted to reflect good karma. it is to reveal innocence, holiness, mercy, and geniality. the longevity statue, four-armed bodhisattva guanyin, and five longevity fairies are decorated largely in white, with artistic effects. however, tibetan masks in the conspicuous taer temple seek flowery colors. they are different in the habits of using colors from the symbolic meanings of colors in tibetan drawings. here, red symbolizes power and sublimity. yellow symbolizes solemnness and faith. blue symbolizes might and justice. and black symbolizes fierce and evil. \n \n condition perfect, high quality. you can tell this is original native mask (not for tourists). there are still remnants of original blue and green colors, although

usa. hanuman (/ˈhʌnʊˌmɑːn/; sanskrit: हनुमान्, iast: hanumān)[7] is a hindu god and divine vanara companion of the god rama. hanuman is one of the central characters of the hindu epic ramayana. he is an ardent devotee of rama and one of the chiranjivis. hanuman is also son of the wind-god vayu, who in several stories played a direct role in hanuman's birth.[6][8] hanuman is mentioned in several other texts, such as the epic mahabharata and the various puranas. evidence of devotional worship to hanuman is largely absent in these texts, as well as in most archeological sites. according to philip lutgendorf, an american indologist, the theological significance of hanuman and devotional dedication to him emerged about 1,000 years after the composition of the ramayana, in the 2nd millennium ce, after the arrival of islamic rule in the indian subcontinent.[9] lutgendorf also writes that the skills in hanuman's resume also seem to derive in part from his windy patrimony, reflecting vayu's role in both body and cosmos.[10] bhakti movement saints such as samarth ramdas have positioned hanuman as a symbol of nationalism and resistance to persecution.[11] the vaishnava saint madhva said that whenever vishnu incarnates on earth, vayu accompanies him and aids his work of preserving dharma.[12] in the modern era, hanuman's iconography and temples have been increasingly common.[13] he is viewed as the ideal combination of \"strength, heroic initiative and assertive excellence\" and \"loving, emotional devotion to his personal god rama\", as shakti and bhakti.[14] in later literature, he is sometimes portrayed as the patron god of martial arts such as wrestling and acrobatics, as well as activities such as meditation and diligent scholarship.[2] he symbolizes the human excellences of inner self-control, faith, and service to a cause, hidden behind the first impressions of a being who looks like an ape-man vanara.[13][15][16] hanuman is considered a bachelor and exemplary celibate.[17] some scholars have identified hanuman as one potential inspiration for sun wukong, the monkey king character in the chinese epic adventure journey to the west.[18][19]"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"75A","title":{"en":"hindu religion, monkey god hanuman, painting on silk,

were in ordinary use, often much larger than normal examples. these are presumed to have been symbols of political power or possibly religious authority. the bi and cong are types of objects only found in jade in early periods, and probably had religious or cosmic significance. the bi is a circular disk with a hole, originally usually plain, but increasingly decorated, and the cong is a vessel, square on the outside but circular inside. in later literature the cong represents the earth and the bi the sky. jades of the shang (18th\u009612th century bc), zhou (1111\u0096255 bc), and han (206 bc\u0096ad 220) dynasties are increasingly embellished with animal and other decorative motifs characteristic of those times, and craftsmen developed great skill in detailed small relief work in objects such as the belt-hooks that became part of elite costume. in later periods ancient jade shapes, shapes derived from bronze sacrificial vessels, and motifs of painting were used, essentially to demonstrate the craftsman's extraordinary technical facility. during neolithic times, the key known sources of nephrite jade in china for utilitarian and ceremonial jade items were the now depleted deposits in the ningshao area in the yangtze river delta (liangzhu culture 3400\u00962250 bc) and in an area of the liaoning province in inner mongolia (hongshan culture 4700\u00962200 bc). as early

amulet is over 5,000 years old and dates to the hongshan culture (4500 bc--2250 bc) in ancient china. it is made of pure nephrite jade and has a wonderful, authentic patina that is a rich, orange & brown color from the iron in the soil that is was in contact with for 5,000 years! it also is heavily pitted from weathering and has white calcification from the salts that have leached into the jade. i have tested this jade and it tests as ancient nephrite jade. i have examined this jade pendant under 10x and 50x magnifications and have determined that there are no cracks, repairs, or damage of any kind. the jade amulet shows clear evidence of something called \"micro-crystalline nephrite\" particles on the surface of this amulet - something that only happens when carved jade has been exposed to air and water for many thousands of years. you can see it in the cut lines of the jade fish amulet. it looks like tiny white powder or crystals that have \"grown\" on the jade. this is completely natural and is perhaps the best clue to look for in determining the age of jade. i have carefully examined and authenticated this fish amulet i guarantee it to be 100% authentic or your money back! details: it is important to remember the ancient chinese considered jade the most valuable objects on earth and wearing a piece of jade would protect a person from evil spirits that were lurking everywhere, on earth and in the heavens. therefore, to own and wear a piece of jade, even a small piece, was the perfect way to protect oneself from evil and bring oneself good fortune and good luck. the jade amulet has one hole drilled in the top that is period correct in every way. that hole is classified as a \"double-bevel hole\" as noted on page 57 in the wonderful reference book \"jade\" that is edited by roger kaverne. this hole was drilled by hand using a bamboo tube as a drill that was dipped into an abrasive paste and then rotated rapidly against the stone. the sides and end of this \"chan axe\" were ground to a bi-angle, cutting edge. this axe was never meant to be used as a cutting or chopping too. rather, this neolithic jade axe was likely a ritual sacrifice to the ancestors and to the gods and was meant to praise laurels on the dead instead of the living. this axe was probably a \"gift\" from the descendants of a very wealthy person of the elite class in ancient china. translation and opinion of the expert: \u0093what makes this statue especially interesting and valuable is that it contains several chinese ku-wen characters (also called large script characters) that are cut into both the front and back of the statue. here is my best translation of these incredible pictographic characters that give archeologists a window into the meaning of ancient chinese ritual art: · the first character you can clearly see on the top part of the amulet are three, horizontal lines. this is the pictographic chinese character for three, but more importantly it stands for the three powers: heaven, earth, and humanity. i believe it is the ancient word \u0093san\u0094 and is meant to symbolize the god\u0092s power over the three powers. based upon this character and others cut deeply into the jade, i believe this ancient statue was made as a ritual or funeral piece that would serve as a gift to the ancient gods and help the departed soul of man enter heaven. · the second set of two chinese characters can be found on the front side of the axe. look carefully at the top character--see what appears to be a capital \"i\" that is character for \"work.\" combined with a character for \"man\" above it that looks like a upside down \"v\" that is the character for \"man's perfect work.\" the character below the \"i\" looks like the capital letter \"d\" with a line through the center. it actually is the ancient chinese character \"wu\" that means \"one's self, me, or my.\" literally, all the characters cut into this jade statue/amulet could be translated as follows: \u0093this jade axe is an example of my perfect work.\" on the reverse side of the axe amulet, is the pictograph of a fish skeleton--look closely and you can see his head, 3 ribs, and a tail. the 3 ribs are again the early chinese character \"san\" that means \"heaven, earth, and mankind.\" in ancient china, the fish was more than just a food source, but also a sign of wealth or money. fresh or dried fish were also used during ceremonial sacrifices and were the symbol of fertility and abundant harvest. thus, i believe the meaning of this ancient fish amulet axe is to repel the evil spirits or other obstacles and show the ancestors that this man or women\u0092s soul deserves immortality in the afterlife as the axe was made for the tomb of a person who had great wealth and whose work on earth was perfect.\u0094 the jade axe would also symbolically repel any evil spirits and help this man enter heaven from the earth below. in ancient china, this statue would have been placed in the tomb or temple of the departed by his family to protect him or her from evil spirits on his journey to the afterlife and to allow him/her to enter heaven. it would also show the ancestors and spirits that he/she was a wealthy and honorable person. jade was highly prized by these early civilizations in china and it was thought to have positive energy to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck and fortune to all who wore a piece on their person--in life and in death. jade was also believed to be a portal or messenger that could carry prayers to heaven and send messages to those on earth from departed ancestors and gods in heaven. this ancient amulet is a fine work of art and it is truly a museum quality study piece of great historical significance. its beauty and attention to detail are remarkable! provenance: bought by american collector from antique dealer in hong kong many years ago"},"estimateMax":5000,"lotNumber":"83A","title":{"en":"archaic

tzu-kang plaque. as a result, genuine tzu-kang plaque is valuable even during the ming dynasty and goes without saying for later periods. the simple criteria to identify genuine tzu-kang plaque are the material should be top grade white hotien jade and low relief lines for the curving characters. in the qing dynasty, due to the emphasis of jade artifacts from the imperial court, especial from the emperor chienlung himself, jade artifacts of the qing dynasty become the last high peak in terms of quality and quantity of chinese jade carving history. elephants: the main characteristics of the elephant are his strength and steadfastness. there for it become a symbol of physical and mental strength, as well as responsibility and earthiness. in indian mythology we hear about the flying elephants and airavata, the white elephant who become the vehicle of indra and appeared from the churning of the milky ocean. therefore white elephants are considered very special and with the power to produce rain. they are identified as rain-bearing clouds, which will explain the belief in the flying elephants. in indian society elephants were considered to bring good luck and prosperity. they were owned by the kings and used in wars. in buddhism the elephant is a symbol of mental strenght. at the beginning of one's practice the uncontrolled mind is symbolized by a gray elephant who can run wild any moment and destroy everything on his way. after practicing dharma and taming one's mind, the mind which is now brought under control is symbolized by a white elephant strong and powerful, who can be directed wherever one wishes and destroy all the obstacles on his way. buddha shakyamuni was born as elephant in some of his previous incarnations. also in his last incarnation as siddhartha gautama he songs: descended from the tushita pure land and entered his mother's womb in the form of a white elephant. in buddhist iconography we find the elephant-faced deity gangpati or ganesh as an emanation of the bodhisattva avalokitesvara. also in another aspect, representing the worldly aspect of the same evergy he is trampled upon by same other deities such as mahakala, vajra bhairava and others. in the mandala offering ritual one offers to the buddha the precious elephant, with the strength of one thousand elephants and who can circumdbulate the whole universe three times in one day. also the elephant tusks are one of the seven royal emblems. the elephant is the vehicle of the tathagata aksobhya and the deity balabadra. the elephant also appears as a guardian of the temples and of

15.5 inches = 38.7 cm; width: 6 inches = 15 cm; weight: 2 lb. 5.7 oz. = 1064 g; in buddhism, an arhat (sanskrit) or arahant (pali) is one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence and has achieved nirvana.[1][2] mahayana buddhist traditions have used the term for people far advanced along the path of enlightenment, but who may not have reached full buddha-hood.[3] the understanding of the concept has changed over the centuries, and varies between different schools of buddhism and different regions. a range of views on the attainment of arhats existed in the early buddhist schools. the sarvāstivāda, kāśyapīya, mahāsāṃghika, ekavyāvahārika, lokottaravāda, bahuśrutīya, prajñaptivāda, and caitika schools all regarded arhats as imperfect in their attainments compared to buddhas.[4][5][6] mahayana buddhist teachings urge followers to take up the path of a bodhisattva, and to not fall back to the level of arhats and śrāvakas.[7] the arhats, or at least the senior arhats, came to be widely regarded by hinayana (theravada) buddhists as \"moving beyond the state of personal freedom to join the bodhisattva enterprise in their own way\".[3] mahayana buddhism regarded a group of eighteen arhats (with names and personalities) as awaiting the return of the buddha as maitreya, while other groupings of 6, 8, 16, 100, and 500 also appear in tradition and buddhist art, especially in east asia called luohan or lohan.[8][9] they may be seen as the buddhist equivalents of the christian saint, apostles or early disciples and leaders of the faith.[8]"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"120","title":{"en":"chinese antique carved bamboo dragon boat with 18 archats, awaiting return of

noted for the whimsical, often playful style of his works. born to a peasant family from xiangtan, hunan, qi taught himself to paint, sparked by the manual of the mustard seed garden. after he turned 40, he traveled, visiting various scenic spots in china. after 1917 he settled in beijing. some of qi's major influences include the early qing dynasty painter bada shanren (八大山人) and the ming dynasty artist xu wei (徐渭). the subjects of his paintings include almost everything, commonly animals, scenery, figures, toys, vegetables, and so on. he theorized that \"paintings must be something between likeness and unlikeness, much like today's vulgarians, but not like to cheat popular people\". in his later years, many of his works depict mice, shrimp or birds. he was also good at seal carving and called himself \"the rich man of three hundred stone seals\" (三百石印富翁). in 1953, he was elected president of the china artists association (中國美術家協會). he died in beijing in 1957. auction results: sold

29 november 1835 \u2013 15 november 1908), of the manchu yehe nara clan, was a chinese empress dowager and regent who effectively controlled the chinese government in the late qing dynasty for 47 years, from 1861 until her death in 1908. selected as a concubine of the xianfeng emperor in her adolescence, she gave birth to a son, zaichun, in 1856. after the xianfeng emperor's death in 1861, the young boy became the tongzhi emperor, and she became the empress dowager. cixi ousted a group of regents appointed by the late emperor and assumed regency, which she shared with empress dowager ci'an. cixi then consolidated control over the dynasty when she installed her nephew as the guangxu emperor at the death of the tongzhi emperor in 1875, contrary to the traditional rules of succession of the qing dynasty that had ruled china since 1644. cixi supervised the tongzhi restoration, a series of moderate reforms that helped the regime survive until 1911. although cixi refused to adopt western models of government, she supported technological and military reforms and the self-strengthening movement. she supported the principles of the hundred days' reforms of 1898, but feared that sudden implementation, without bureaucratic support, would be disruptive and that the japanese and other foreign powers would take advantage of any weakness. she placed the guangxu emperor, whom she thought had tried to assassinate her, under virtual house arrest for supporting radical reformers, publicly executing the main reformers. after the boxer rebellion led to invasion by allied armies, cixi initially backed the boxer groups and declared war on the invaders. the ensuing defeat was a stunning humiliation. when cixi returned to beijing from xi'an, where she had taken the emperor, she became friendly to foreigners in the capital and began to implement fiscal and institutional reforms aimed to turn china into a constitutional monarchy. the deaths of both cixi and the guangxu emperor in november 1908 left the court in hands of manchu conservatives, a child, puyi, on the throne, and a restless, deeply divided society. auction results: sold 12 paintings from $5,247 to $405,170;

rickshaw boy or camel xiangzi, (1936-1937) by lao she (1899-1966), printed hong kong in traditional chinese characters. an important book, written by famous chinese writer lao she, published in honk kong in 1936-1937. shu qingchun (3 february 1899 \u2013 24 august 1966), courtesy name sheyu, best known by his pen name lao she, was a chinese novelist and dramatist. he was one of the most significant figures of 20th-century chinese literature, and best known for his novel rickshaw boy and the play teahouse (茶館). he was of manchu ethnicity, and his works are known especially for their vivid use of the beijing dialect. rickshaw boy or camel xiangzi (chinese: 骆驼祥子; pinyin: luòtuo xiángzi; literally: 'camel auspicious lad') is a novel by the chinese author lao she about the life of a fictional beijing rickshaw man. it is considered a classic of 20th-century chinese literature.[1 plot set in the 1920s, the novel's protagonist is an orphan peasant who leaves for beijing to earn a living. xiangzi is a young, hardworking, well-built rickshaw puller who dreams of owning his own rickshaw. just when he has earned enough to buy one, it is confiscated by warlord soldiers. as he leaves, he spots some camels captured by the soldiers. he takes the camels and escapes and later sells them, earning the nickname camel. however, the cash xiangzi obtains from this is not enough for him to buy another new rickshaw - providence decrees that he must toil once more. a police secret agent later extorts him into paying him his savings, leaving xiangzi impoverished again. left with no choice, xiangzi returns to work for old master liu, the boss of a thriving rickshaw rental company. although he tries to be honest and down to earth, xiangzi finds himself entangled between old master liu and his stout, manipulative daughter tiger girl, ten years his senior. tiger girl, who is carrying a torch for him, insists on marrying xiangzi after pretending to be made pregnant by him. her father disowns her and the couple live together, progressively made poor by her spendthrift ways. later, tiger girl becomes pregnant by xiangzi and grows even fatter as she awaits her delivery due her laziness and greediness for food. when tiger girl dies during childbirth and xiangzi's infant child is stillborn, xiangzi is distraught. he later finds meaning in life again in a female neighbour, the meek and long-suffering little fuzi, who is forced into prostitution by her idle father. when xiangzi has earned enough to redeem her from the brothel, he is devastated to find she has committed suicide. the harsh realities of life taught xiangzi that decency and hard work have little meaning in this pragmatic, dog-eat-dog world. he becomes a lazy, degenerate and unscrupulous good-for-nothing, no different from those he looked down on early in his life, spending his days gambling, cheating and whoring. subject matter and themes the major subject matter of rickshaw boy is the way in which the hero makes his living pulling a rickshaw, the options he faces and choices he makes, and especially the fundamental issues of whether to work independently or as a servant to a family, and whether to rent or own a rickshaw. additionally, the novel describes a series of adventures he has and his interactions with a number of other characters. beijing -- \"filthy, beautiful, decadent, bustling, chaotic, idle, lovable\"[3]:240\u2014is important as a backdrop for the book. \"the only friend he had was this ancient city.\" (p. 31) the book explores the intimate relationship between man and machine (the rickshaw), and the evolution of that relationship. the relationship is both financial\u2014requiring months and years of calculation to graduate from being a renter to being an owner\u2014and physical. \"his strength seemed to permeate every part of the rickshaw. . . . he was energetic, smooth in his motions, precise. he didn't appear to be in any hurry and yet he ran very fast . . . . \" [3]:7 an important theme of the book is the economic precariousness of the hero's life. \"no matter how hard you work or how ambitious you are, you must not start a family, you must not get sick, and you must not make a single mistake!\" [3]:185 \"if you avoid dying of starvation when young, good for you. but it was almost impossible to avoid dying of starvation when old.\" [3]:95 further, the book explores personality characteristics and their relationship to economic existence, especially tolerance for risk, tolerance for hard work, and assertiveness, and personal standards of human dignity. \"he had a strong body, a patient disposition, ambition, yet he allowed people to treat him like a pig or a dog and he couldn't keep a job.\" [3]:48 isolation and individualism are important themes in the book. \"his life might well be ruined by his own hands but he wasn't about to sacrifice anything for anybody. he who works for himself knows how to destroy himself. these are the two starting points of individualism.\" [3]:237 historical significance the characterization or point of view in rickshaw boy reflects the influence of russian literature in china in general, and particularly on the way that influence was transferred to china by lu xun in stories such as the true story of ah q and \"diary of a madman\". the subject matter of rickshaw boy aligned with concerns of chinese leftists and the chinese communist party. for instance, the final sentences read, \"handsome, ambitious, dreamer of fine dreams, selfish, individualistic sturdy, great hsiang tzu. no one knows how many funerals he marched in, and no one knows when or where he was able to get himself buried, that degenerate, selfish, unlucky offspring of society's diseased womb, a ghost caught in individualism's blind alley.\" [3]:249 lao she went on to play a leading role in literary associations endorsed by the government, such as the all-china federation of literature and art. according to the introductory section of the foreign languages press (beijing) english translation, \"before liberation [lao she] wrote many works of literature, including his best novel camel xiangzi (or rickshaw boy) to expose and denounce the old society. while he now enjoys prestige in china and was named a \"people's artist\" and \"great master of language\", at the beginning of the cultural revolution he was severely persecuted. the red guards paraded him through the streets and beat him in public. being humiliated both mentally and physically, he, according to the official record, committed suicide by drowning himself in beijing's taiping lake in 1966."},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"162D","title":{"en":"the rickshaw boy or camel xiangzi, (1936-1937) by lao she

sub-divisions. in the first division written in 'kai-shu' (regular or modern script), the mark consists of six characters written in two columns of three characters. it is read from right to left and in descending order. the first character reads 'da' (great), followed by 'qing' (pure), the official name of the alien manchu dynasty. this is followed by the two characters giving the reign title of the ruling emperor. the fifth character reads 'nian' (year) and the final character reads 'zhi' (made/manufactured). composition outside: highly embellished and decorated famille rose fish bowl. first composition: emperor palace with emperor family and nobility. second composition: ceremonial greeting in emperor palace of emperor family and nobility. two garden scenes between two compositions, with two birds, butterflies and flowers. painting inside: depicts 5 golden fish, swimming between sea grasses. the two gold fish are usually shown head to head and represent fertility as fish produce many

weight: 479 g = 1 lb. 0.9 oz. item condition: perfect, no cracks or imperfections, base rim unglazed. jun ware is a type of chinese pottery one of the five great kilns of song dynasty ceramics. despite its fame, much about jun ware remains unclear, and the subject of arguments among experts. several different types of pottery are covered by the term, produced over several centuries and in several places, during the northern song dynasty (960\u00961126), jin dynasty (1115\u00961234) and yuan dynasty (1271\u00961368), and (as has become clearer in recent years) lasting into the early ming dynasty. some of the wares were popular, especially the drinking vessels, but others seem to have been made for the imperial court and are known as \"official jun wares\"; they are not mentioned in contemporary documents and their dating remains somewhat controversial. these are mostly bowls for growing bulbs or flower-pots with matching stands, such as can be seen in many paintings of scenes in imperial palaces. the consensus that seems to be emerging, driven largely by the interpretation of excavations at kiln sites, divides jun wares into two groups: a large group of relatively popular wares made in simple shapes from the northern song to (at lower quality) the yuan, and a much rarer group of official jun wares made at a single site (juntai) for the imperial palaces in the yuan and early ming periods. both types rely largely for their effect on their use of the blue and purple glaze colors; the latter group are sturdy shapes for relatively low-status uses such as flowerpots and perhaps spittoons. the most striking and distinctive jun wares use blue to purple glaze colors, sometimes suffused with white, made with straw ash in the glaze. they often show \"splashes\" of purple on blue, sometimes appearing as though random, though they are usually planned. a different group are \"streaked\" purple on blue, the chinese describing the streaks as \"worm-tracks\". this is a high-prestige stoneware which was greatly admired and often imitated in later periods. but colors range from a light greenish-brown through green to blue and purple. the shapes are mostly simple, except for the official wares, and other decoration is normally limited to the glaze effects. most often, the \"unofficial\" wares are wheel-thrown, but the official ones molded. the wares are stoneware in terms of western classification, and \"high-fired\" or porcelain in chinese terms (where the class of stoneware is not generally recognized). like the still more prestigious ru ware, they are often not quite fired as high as the normal stoneware temperature range, and the body remains permeable to water. they form a \"close relative\" of the wider group of northern celadons or green wares."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"196B","title":{"en":"antique chinese junyao vase, northern song/yuan dynasty, 1100-1300 ad"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/33014/lot/18210/view","tags":["usasian_chinese","usasian","usasian_all"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2025-11-14T08:23:40.633Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$6,000 - $20,000","currency":"USD","id":18210,"estimateMin":6000},{"startPrice":1500,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/008/008.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/009/009.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/010/010.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/011/011.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18211/012/012.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-05-21","available":false,"description":{"en":"longquan celadon blue glazed bottle vase, s. song-yuan dynasties (1200-1400 ad) bottle vase with molded peony and arabesque vine decorations, southern song-yuan dynasties (13th-14th centuries). vase has magnificent colors, which depends on the intensity of the light and change from green in the room to green/blue in the shadow to bright blue color on the sun. height: 30.75 cm = 307 mm;

chinese porcelain vase with tang dynasty poem, written by li bai (701-762 ad); quiet night thought (chinese: 靜夜思) is a famous poem written by the tang dynasty poet, li bai (also known as li bo or li po).[1] 床前明月光, 疑是地上霜, 舉頭望明月, 低頭思故鄉. \u201cbefore my bed there's a pool of light, i wonder if it's frost on the ground, looking up, i find the moon bright, then bowing my head, i drown in homesickness\u201d. height: 9.5 = 24 cm weight: 1.626 g = 1 kg 626 g = 3 lb. 9.3 oz. condition: perfect, no defects. provenance: private collection in clearwater, florida. li drew inspiration for the poem through personal experiences as a confucian scholar detached from his hometown. in the times of imperial china, scholars and artisans affiliated with the court were often detached from their hometowns for extended periods of times as part of their duties and loyalties as courtiers or worthy subjects to the emperor of china. while it was expected in traditional confucian ritual to remain a loyal subject to the emperor and abide by the emperor's wishes, filial piety also formed one of the foundations of confucian thought, and emphasized upon the importance of embracing and honouring one's ancestry and roots. however, the emperor was also considered the \"father\" of all his subjects, and so his courtiers were also required to express their filial duties to the emperor. through the poem, li bai fulfils responsibilities of filial piety to both emperor and his ascendants as he expresses his yearning for his hometown, in accordance with confucian values, as well as obedience towards the sad obligation of remaining loyal to imperial edict, again in accordance to confucian values of filial piety. indeed, the poem alludes to the august moon and therefore the mid-autumn festival. the mid-autumn festival serves as a highly important festival in chinese culture for its adherence to chinese family values, and is traditionally associated with family reunion. li is therefore lamenting over the impossibility of family reunion due to the importance of the imperial edict, yet stresses the importance of valuing one's origin even amidst the impossibility of reunion. the poem is one of li's shi poems, structured as a single quatrain in five-character regulated verse with a simple aaba rhyme scheme (at least in its original middle chinese dialect as well as the majority of contemporary chinese dialects). it is short and direct in accordance with the guidelines for shi poetry, and cannot be conceived as purely a personal poem, but as a poem relatable to all those detached from their hometowns out of obligation. hence, in contrast to li bai's longer, more free-form gushi, \"quiet night thought\" is vague, yet expresses solemnity and yearning through a combination of its night-time imagery and its spare form."},"estimateMax":800,"lotNumber":"219","title":{"en":"靜夜思 chinese porcelain vase with tang dynasty poem, written by li bai (701-762

ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. the resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. the decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in french[1]) to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. these remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln. the technique was in ancient times mostly used for jewellery and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloisonne walls. in the byzantine empire techniques using thinner wires were developed to allow more pictorial images to be produced, mostly used for religious images and jewelry, and by then always using enamel. by the 14th century this enamel technique had spread to china, where it was soon used for much larger vessels such as bowls and vases; the technique remains common in china to the present day, and cloisonné enamel objects using chinese-derived styles were produced in the west from the 18th century. \n \n condition fine, 2

genuine cosmic tlv chinese bronze mirror 107 mm, western han dynasty, 206 bc - 220 ad. tlv design incorporates both scientific and mythological elements. these mirrors are also called \"compass mirrors\" by chinese scholars. made in han dynasty: 206 bc - 220 ad; diameter: 107 mm = 4.5 inches; weight = 200 g = 7 oz. mirror surface is slightly convex; knob - 5 mm high, open authenticity report: genuine. development the first mirrors with tlv symbols appeared during the second century bce, with some believing that they were related to liu an's astrological and cosmological interests. the dragon was an important symbol of these early tlv mirrors. in early mirrors from the second century bce, the dragons were often used as an arabesque, however by the first century bce, the dragons lost their arabesque form and became fully-fledged figures. in the later part of the western han period, the dragons had been replaced by winged figures, monsters and immortals. these new mirrors also saw the division of the main area into two separate rings, with the tlv symbols being placed in the inner part of the main area, and other decorations being placed in the outer area.[3] by the end of the first century bce, the band dividing the main area into two concentric rings largely lost its structural function of separating the mirror into two sections. instead it existed merely as a line, or not at all. mirrors from the xin dynasty (8-23 ce) usually have an outer band with cloud or animal motifs, and an inner circle with a square containing a knob. the inner circle often contains a series of eight 'nipples, ' and various mythological animals and being, often including the queen mother of the west. the central square could have an inscription, or contain the characters of the twelve earthly branches. inscriptions placed in between the mirror's sections frequently discuss wang mang and his reign. symbolism scholars are engaged in a debate as to what the symbols on tlv mirrors mean. some scholars believe that they represent ideas from chinese cosmology, while others believe that they could also be used to play the boardgame of liubo. cosmological significance tlv mirrors are circular. at their centers is a circular boss inset on a square panel. according to schuyler camman, the design of tlv mirrors was cosmologically significant. the v shapes served to give the inner square the appearance of being placed in the middle of a cross. this forms an illustration of the chinese idea of the five directions north, south, west, east and center. the central square represents china as the middle kingdom. the area in between the central square and the circle represented the four seas. during the han dynasty the four seas represented territories outside china, and did not literally refer to water. the central square within the round mirror likely alludes to the ancient chinese idea that heaven was round and earth was square. the ts represented the concept of the four gates of the middle kingdom, an idea present in chinese literature. they could have also represented the idea of the four inner gates of the han place of sacrifice, or the gates of the imperial tombs built during the han period. the ls possibly symbolized the marshes and swamps beyond the four seas, at the ends of the earth. the bending of the ls could possibly have served to create a rotating effect which symbolized the four seasons, which were very closely related to the cardinal directions. the nine nipples in the central square likely represented the nine regions of the earth as discussed by cammann as having come from the shiji. the eight nipples outside of the central square were most likely representations of the eight pillars, mountains that held up the canopy of heaven. the area between the inner round border and the outer rim of the mirror was often filled with swirls that represented the clouds in heaven. the game of liubo some believe that the design of tlv mirrors is derived from the board game liubo. because of the lack of written documentation, the rules of the game are still as yet unconfirmed, although some scholars such as lien-sheng yang have made suggestions as to the method of play. yang sheng-yin believes that the liubo game was played between two players with each player having 6 men. in addition there were six throwing sticks shared between them. from a formula written by an expert player of liubo, yang theorizes that a players piece would start on an l and try to move to a v depending on stick rolls. at this moment certain throws by the sticks would allow ones piece to move into the center and kill the opponents piece if already present in the center. once present in the center, ones piece could begin to block the enemy pieces from taking the square. for each block one would gain two points. one could also attempt to recover ones pieces after they are blocked, and would gain three points for doing this. if one failed to win after having blocked two men, then the opponent would gain six points and win the game. the first player to six points would win the game. the six points needed to win is where part of the title of the game comes from, for liu in chinese means the number six. \n \n condition genuine patina, no defects; \n low estimate: 2000; \n high estimate: 10000; \n orignal:

cosmic tlv chinese bronze mirror han dynasty, 206 bc-220 ad. stunning, absolutely incredible cosmic tlv chinese bronze mirror, 100% authentic. this mirror has a distinctive island of reflective surface 35 x 15 mm tlv design incorporates both scientific and mythological elements. the mirrors are also called \"compass mirrors\" by chinese scholars. made in han dynasty: 206 bc-ad 220; diameter: 137 mm = 5.5 inches. weight = 400 g = 14 oz. development the first mirrors with tlv symbols appeared during the second century bce, with some believing that they were related to liu an's astrological and cosmological interests. the dragon was an important symbol of these early tlv mirrors. in early mirrors from the second century bce, the dragons were often used as an arabesque, however by the first century bce, the dragons lost their arabesque form and became fully-fledged figures. in the later part of the western han period, the dragons had been replaced by winged figures, monsters and immortals. these new mirrors also saw the division of the main area into two separate rings, with the tlv symbols being placed in the inner part of the main area, and other decorations being placed in the outer area.[3] by the end of the first century bce, the band dividing the main area into two concentric rings largely lost its structural function of separating the mirror into two sections. instead it existed merely as a line, or not at all. mirrors from the xin dynasty (8-23 ce) usually have an outer band with cloud or animal motifs, and an inner circle with a square containing a knob. the inner circle often contains a series of eight 'nipples, ' and various mythological animals and being, often including the queen mother of the west. the central square could have an inscription, or contain the characters of the twelve earthly branches. inscriptions placed in between the mirror's sections frequently discuss wang mang and his reign. symbolism scholars are engaged in a debate as to what the symbols on tlv mirrors mean. some scholars believe that they represent ideas from chinese cosmology, while others believe that they could also be used to play the boardgame of liubo. cosmological significance tlv mirrors are circular. at their centers is a circular boss inset on a square panel. according to schuyler camman, the design of tlv mirrors was cosmologically significant. the v shapes served to give the inner square the appearance of being placed in the middle of a cross. this forms an illustration of the chinese idea of the five directions north, south, west, east and center. the central square represents china as the middle kingdom. the area in between the central square and the circle represented the four seas. during the han dynasty the four seas represented territories outside china, and did not literally refer to water. the central square within the round mirror likely alludes to the ancient chinese idea that heaven was round and earth was square. the ts represented the concept of the four gates of the middle kingdom, an idea present in chinese literature. they could have also represented the idea of the four inner gates of the han place of sacrifice, or the gates of the imperial tombs built during the han period. the ls possibly symbolized the marshes and swamps beyond the four seas, at the ends of the earth. the bending of the ls could possibly have served to create a rotating effect which symbolized the four seasons, which were very closely related to the cardinal directions. the nine nipples in the central square likely represented the nine regions of the earth as discussed by cammann as having come from the shiji. the eight nipples outside of the central square were most likely representations of the eight pillars, mountains that held up the canopy of heaven. the area between the inner round border and the outer rim of the mirror was often filled with swirls that represented the clouds in heaven. the game of liubo some believe that the design of tlv mirrors is derived from the board game liubo. because of the lack of written documentation, the rules of the game are still as yet unconfirmed, although some scholars such as lien-sheng yang have made suggestions as to the method of play. yang sheng-yin believes that the liubo game was played between two players with each player having 6 men. in addition there were six throwing sticks shared between them. from a formula written by an expert player of liubo, yang theorizes that a players piece would start on an l and try to move to a v depending on stick rolls. at this moment certain throws by the sticks would allow ones piece to move into the center and kill the opponents piece if already present in the center. once present in the center, ones piece could begin to block the enemys pieces from taking the square. for each block one would gain two points. one could also attempt to recover ones pieces after they are blocked, and would gain three points for doing this. if one failed to win after having blocked two men, then the opponent would gain six points and win the game. the first player to six points would win the game. the six points needed to win is where part of the title of the game comes from, for liu in chinese means the number six. \n \n condition natural patina and oxidation, no other defects \n low estimate: 30000

by sugimura jihei (杉村 治平), 1681-1703, japanese erotic scene: sex between husband & wife. beautiful authentic brush painting, certified by paul knutson in 2003. size 7.75 x 12.5 inches = 19.7 cm x 31.75 cm; provenance: estate collection in new jersey, usa; sugimura jihei (杉村 治平) was a japanese ukiyo-e printmaker who flourished from approximately 1681 to 1703. he is noted by art historian and ukiyo-e collector richard lane as an \u201cindirect pupil\u201d of hishikawa moronobu. much of sugimura's work was once attributed to fellow followers of moronobu, or moronobu himself.[1] in the 1920's, however, unsigned prints were discovered to have hidden signatures of sugimura's incorporated in the drawing of the clothing folds.[1] it appears sugimura preferred (unlike most ukiyo-e artists) to sign with his surname rather than his given name. there are few contemporary texts with information on sugimura.[1] the earliest mention of him can be found in a directory of edo artists from 1689, the edo zukan kompuku, where he is listed with his name and address as \u201cwoodblock artist, sugimura jihei masataka, tori-aburacho.\u201d[1] ryutei tanahiko's yoshabako, published in 1841, also credits sugimura as illustrator of two books which are not known to be extant.[1] sugimura illustrated at least 70 books, and created a number of large size prints along with many of the more standard sizes and formats. judging from his extant works, it appears that sugimura specialized in shunga, or erotic prints. shunga prints make up two-thirds of his work.[2] sugimura's work is characterized by sensual charm and soft, hand-colored, watercolor renderings in sumizuri-e.[2] some scholars judge his personal flamboyant and decorative style to be even more erotic than that of hishikawa moronobu.[2] his subtle style and break away from his contemporary moronobu's bold, black lines influenced later ukiyo-e artists to place more emphasis on color.[2] a distinguishing characteristic of his book illustrations are literary mitate-e, or allusions to literature, unlike moronobu's illustrations, which usually featured purely artistic motifs instead.[1] also, it appears sugimura preferred individual prints or album sheets as opposed to his mentor's bound book illustrations.[1] the earliest signed kakemono-e, circa the late 1680s, is attributed to sugimura.[1] though the known works of sugimura jihei are mostly shunga, he also created an ukiyo-e depiction based on a chapter of the tale of genji.[3] his work, kashiwagi to onna san no miya (\"kashiwagi and the third princess\"), is evocative of the tale of genji\u2019s \u201cwakana jo\u201d chapter.[3] shunga (春画) is a type of japanese erotic art typically executed as a kind of ukiyo-e, often in woodblock print format. while rare, there are also extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate ukiyo-e.[1] translated literally, the japanese word shunga means picture of spring; \"spring\" is a common euphemism for sex.[1] shunga, as a subset of ukiyo-e, was enjoyed by all social groups in the edo period, despite being out of favor with the shogunate. the ukiyo-e movement sought to idealize contemporary urban living and appeal to the new chōnin class. shunga followed the aesthetics of everyday life and widely varied in its depictions of sexuality. most ukiyo-e artists made shunga at some point in their careers."},"estimateMax":2000,"lotNumber":"316A","title":{"en":"shunga春画 by sugimura jihei (杉村 治平), 1681-1703, japanese erotic scene: sex between husband &

material of the main artwork: silk; roller end material: artificial ivory; condition: used | some dirty parts are found on the entire scroll. | hand painted | made in japan; the \u0093kakejiku\u0094 is a japanese hanging scroll; it is a work of painting or calligraphy, which is usually mounted with silk fabric edges on flexible backings. the kakejiku can be rolled for storage. when compared to the \u0093makimono,\u0094 which is meant to be unrolled laterally on a flat surface, the kakejiku is intended to be hung against a wall as part of the interior decoration of a room. it is traditionally displayed in the \u0093tokonoma\u0094 alcove of a room, which is especially designed to exhibit prized objects. it can also be displayed in the most important room of the house, where a tea ceremony, or other traditional activities are performed. the kakejiku is also often hung in martial arts rooms called \u0093doujou\u0094 (training rooms). near the kakejiku, there are often other objects (\u0093okimono\u0094), such as swords (\u0093katana\u0094), dolls, \u0093bonsai,\u0094 or flower arrangements (\u0093ikebana\u0094). an essential aspect of the kakejiku is that it is not intended to be hung permanently; making it versatile in its placement. this means that it can be changed at frequent intervals. one of the pleasures of the kakejiku lies in selecting a suitable one, depending on occasions, guests, and seasons. in contrast to the \u0093byoubu\u0094 (folding screen), \u0093shouhekiga\u0094 (wall paintings), or \u0093tsuitate\u0094 (screen), the kakejiku can be easily and quickly changed to match the season or occasion. history the \u0093kakejiku\u0094 (hanging scroll) was introduced to japan during the heian period (794-1185), primarily for displaying buddhist images for religious worship, or as a way to display calligraphy or poetry. the original architecture of japanese housing had developed considerably since the muromachi period (1336-1573). in this newly developed architectural style, the japanese-style room (called \u0093washitsu\u0094) became a room on whose floor tatami mats are laid, and it contains one special space that is called the \u0093tokonoma\u0094 alcove. the most important feature of the tokonoma is the display of kakejiku. the tokonoma was regarded as a space which connects art and daily life; so landscapes, paintings of flowers and birds, portraits, and poetry became favorite themes. during the momoyama period (1573-1600) two great sovereigns were represented: nobunaga oda, and hideyoshi toyotomi. they liked \u0093chanoyu\u0094 (tea ceremonies) very much. tea ceremonies were usually performed in the room with the tokonoma alcove. a tokonoma architectural style was developed and established in this period. accompanied with the development of tokonoma style, the techniques of painting and mounting were also developed, because the kakejiku was always displayed in the tokonoma. moreover, when sen no rikyuu mentioned the importance of the kakejiku, the kakejiku became extremely popular among people who were fascinated with tea ceremonies. there were only a few big wars during the edo period (1603-1868) in japan. the peacefulness of the edo period allowed japanese culture to reach full maturity. many famous painters flourished and competed with each other. the kakejiku also became popular among the public. after the meiji period (1868-), many more painters competed with each other with their techniques, because people became absolutely free to choose their own occupations during this period. before world war 2, and for a while after that war, most japanese-style paintings were designed to be decorated on kakejiku. significance of the kakejiku: why is the kakejiku changed? why is the \u0093kakejiku\u0094 (hanging scroll) replaced? the spirit of the tea ceremony, a traditional japanese art, affects this japanese custom deeply. there is a heart of hospitality called \u0093omotenashi\u0094 in a tea ceremony. when japanese people think about the mood of a tea ceremony, they take a lot into consideration. more specifically, they think about the various techniques they could use to make the mood the best. the kakejiku is displayed to express respect for guests indirectly, and is considered the most important tool in a tea ceremony. therefore, the kakejiku is replaced depending on the occasions or seasons. the omotenashi heart makes them change the kakejiku. the kakejiku developed during the muromachi era (1336-1573) along with the development of tea ceremonies. as a result, people began to think that it was important to express the formality of the occasions to guests by displaying various kinds of kakejiku. many customs of the kakejiku were derived from this type of thought in japan. of course, many owners have their kakejiku for the purpose of enjoying themselves, and it is also part of fun to show their lovable kakejiku to their guests. functionality there is a \u0093tokonoma\u0094 alcove in a \u0093washitsu\u0094 (traditional japanese-style room), where a \u0093kakejiku\u0094 (hanging scroll) is displayed. however there is very little furniture inside the room other than the kakejiku. the japanese people don\u0092t have a custom of hanging many paintings on the walls inside the room; they usually display a kakejiku only in the tokonoma, and replace it by another depending on the occasions, guests, and seasons. it is said that this style of display contrasts with the western style. many paintings are often displayed on the walls of western buildings, such as old european buildings or palaces. for example, if there are 100 paintings, it would be the western style to display all 100 paintings on the walls. however, the japanese people put all 100 paintings in a closet, and choose only one to display for a short term in its fixed place (tokonoma). therefore, there is a clear difference in functions demanded from a painting between the west and japan. in the west, painting needs a frame for durability because it is displayed for a long time. in japan, however, a painting does not need so much protection because it is displayed only for a short time. handiness and convenience are very important elements for a painting, because the japanese people will change it frequently. it is also necessary not to take up the storage space. that is to say, the style, which satisfies the above conditions, is a kakejiku-style. the kakejiku is rolled up when putting it away, and is opened while displaying it. as a result, flexibility and strength are needed to endure the process of displaying and putting it away. therefore, the \u0093honshi\u0094 (main work) is reinforced by backing it with another piece of paper, and cloths are attached around the honshi, and they are combined. this is a rough mounting process for the kakejiku. if the kakejiku is rolled up, this style prevents the honshi from creasing, tearing, and getting dirty. even if the honshi is damaged or becomes dirty, the lifetime of the honshi and its aesthetic value can be kept for several hundred years by remounting the kakejiku. the kakejiku is an ideal style; it enables the japanese people to enjoy their paintings at their best."},"estimateMax":1000,"lotNumber":"323E","title":{"en":"japanese hanging scroll kakejiku \"peacocks\" painting by shunpou"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/33014/lot/18306/view","tags":["usasian_japanese","usasian","usasian_all"],"directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":1000,"lastUpdate":"2025-11-14T08:23:55.390Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$500 - $1,000","currency":"USD","id":18306,"estimateMin":500},{"startPrice":140,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/008/008.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/009/009.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18307/010/010.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-05-21","available":false,"description":{"en":"the mountain landscape is calm and peaceful. it is a hanging scroll, made in japan. it is called \"掛軸 kakejiku\" in japan. condition: there is no serious damage. insignificant creases and darkening due to aging. ・weight: 380 g;

\"nine valleys\". the first mention was in 1655 during the meireki era. according to tradition, clays suitable for porcelain making were found in the kutani mines of the daishōji clan, a cadet branch of the maida clan who ruled daishōji domain. gotō saijirō, a member of the maeda clan, was sent by orders of maeda toshiharu, daimyō of kaga domain to arita in hizen province to learn how to make porcelain.[6] he set up a kiln in the village of kutani.[3] the daimyō of kaga domain became great patrons of kutani. porcelains from this early period are specifically called old kutani (古九谷, ko-kutani) and are very rare.[1][4] saikō-kutani saikō-kutani style porcelain sweets tray with underglaze flower and leaves decoration and overglaze enamels, c. 1825, late edo period. saikō-kutani

potters.[6][14] new overglaze painting techniques from various kamamoto were infused in the development of what became known as revived kutani (再興九谷, saikō-kutani). in the 19th century the style shifted to a more red design called aka-e (赤絵), which features intricate designs.[15] the gold technique is called kinran-de (金襴手), and the combination became aka-e kinran-de (赤絵 金襴手)

a range of subtle greys and muted shades of blue, green, and brown, through the use of niiro processes, involving the rokushō compound. shibuichi means \"one-fourth\" in japanese, and indicates the standard formulation of one part silver to three parts copper, though this may be varied considerably according to the desired effect. several major variants of the alloy have specific names, as detailed below. in addition, the metal in general, and especially the paler shades, may be named rogin. as part of our japanese art collection, we are delighted to offer this most unusual high quality mixed metal koro or incense burner with 3 genuine essence pyramids inside. this fine and heavy little item is made from a japanese alloy known as shibuichi , the technique was devised by mixing alloys with silver to produce a wonderful grey to brown bronze skin, the shibuichi is then inlaid using gold and depicts symbolic mixture of oriental foliage, the koro is nicely finished off with the

appeared in france after world war i and began flourishing internationally in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s before its popularity waned after world war ii.[1] it is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with machine age imagery and materials. the style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes and lavish ornamentation. deco emerged from the interwar period when rapid industrialisation was transforming culture. one of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. this distinguishes deco from the organic motifs favoured by its predecessor art nouveau. historian bevis hillier defined art deco as \"an assertively modern style [that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material [and] the requirements of mass production\".[2] during its heyday, art deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological

younger years. biography of thomas picton: picton was the younger son of thomas picton, and was born in poyston, pembrokeshire, wales. in 1771 he obtained an ensign's commission in the 12th regiment of foot, but he did not join until two years later. the regiment was then stationed at gibraltar, where he remained until he was made captain in the 75th in january 1778, at which point he then returned to britain. the regiment was disbanded five years later, and picton quelled a mutiny amongst the men by his prompt personal action and courage, and was promised the rank of major as a reward. he did not receive it, and after living in retirement on his father's estate for nearly twelve years, he went out to the west indies in 1794 on the strength of a slight acquaintance with sir john vaughan, the commander-in-chief, who made him his aide-de-camp and gave him a captaincy in the 17th foot. shortly afterwards he was promoted major in the 58th foot. version 2: leopold i of belgium. he really looks like king of the belgians, who was born in 1790. version 3: on the back of the painting is written in old ink, in english: \"french 17 p. 151 prince murat brother of napoleon, david\".

french engraving: portrait of marie of lorraine, duchess of guise, paris, france, 1684. engraving after pierre mignard (1612 1695). marie de lorraine (15 august 1615 3 march 1688) was the daughter of charles de lorraine, duke of guise and henriette catherine de joyeuse and the last member of the house of guise, a branch of the house of lorraine.size of the engraving: 9.75 x 14 = 24.4 cm x 35 cm.

her dress.provenance: from private collection of one lady in florida.biographymarie de lorraine de guise was a \"foreign princess naturalized in france\" (that is, the daughter of a foreign prince of the house of lorraine). after the death of the last male of the house of guise in 1675, marie became duchess of guise, duchess of joyeuse, and princess of joinville and enjoyed the vast revenues from these duchies and principalities.[1] people addressed her formally as \"your highness\"; she herself signed legal documents as \"marie de lorraine\"; and after 1675, as \"marie de lorraine de guise, \" but she ended personal letters with, simply, \"guise.\"exiled to florence with her family, 163443,[2] marie (whom the french knew as \"mademoiselle de guise\") became close to the medicis and came to love italy and especially italian music. for over forty years scarcely a week passed that she did not write to her medici friends in florence, or receive word from them through the tuscan resident in paris. circa 1650 she morganatically married claude de bourdeille, count of montrsor [3] by whom she had several children whose existence was never acknowledged publicly.starting in 1670, marc-antoine charpentier composed for her and sang haute-contre in her service. she protected her loyal servant by soliciting commissions for him from people or establishments who were seeking her continued patronage. for example, she was probably one of the \"enraged virgins\" and \"heroines\" who swooped down on molire in late 1672 and forced him to give charpentier the chance to write the music for molire's the forthcoming theatrical spectacle, the malade imaginaire. for eighteen years her patronage fostered a number of major works, most of them devotional and strongly influenced by italian music.[4][5]successively guardian of her nephew, louis joseph, duke of guise (d. 1671) and of her grand nephew francis joseph, duke of guise (d. 1675), as the last member of the senior branch of the house of guise, she used her vast wealth not only to live splendidly but for projects dear to her heart.[6]after these two closely spaced deaths, marie turned to devotion. with the help of father nicolas barr, minim, she founded a teachers' training institute and created schools for girls and hospitals for the poor in her parisian parish and in her provincial lands. in her vast parisian residence known as the \"htel de guise, \" she presided \"magnificently\" over a select little \"court\" composed chiefly of members of the house of lorraine, clergy, learned protgs, and italians passing through paris. music (often italian and italian-style music) was the principal entertainment at these events.although her relations with louis joseph's widow, lisabeth marguerite d'orlans, were often frosty, the two women continued to see one another, both in paris and at the abbey of saint pierre de montmartre, where marie's sister rene was abbess and where lisabeth's sister, marguerite louise d'orlans, the erstwhile grand duchess of tuscany, resided after 1675.in the early 1670s, marie had begun to assemble a small ensemble of household musicians to perform the pieces being written by her in-house composer, marc-antoine charpentier.[7] then, in the early 1680s she enlarged the group, until it rivaled both in size and quality of ensembles maintained by \"several sovereigns.\" over the years marie made her composer and her musicians available to her nephew's widow lisabeth, for performances in churches and at the royal court. both women had private apartments at montmartre.in a will intended to disinherit her niece, [8] la grande mademoiselle (that is, anne marie louise d'orlans, duchess of montpensier [9]) she chose charles francois de stainville as beneficiary in 1688; but on the urging of her heirs, the will was broken by the parliament of paris in 1689...[10][11]in 1700, her trustees sold her home in paris, the hotel de guise, was sold to francois, prince of soubise and his wife anne de rohan-chabot and became the hotel de soubise. \n low estimate: 1500; \n high estimate: 5000; \n circa: 1684; \n style:

new bond street: 'impressionist and modern art' in 2009 for $7,451. on sotheby\u2019s his paintings were sold $8,000 and more. biography menachem helholz-or was born in germany in 1911. although his training was never formal, he was exposed to the influence of various german artists of the expressionist and bauhaus movements whilst in his youth, most notably franz marc, heinrich campendonk, paul klee and auguste macke. his later work shows the influence of several of these artists especially in his fusing together of cubism and vivid expressionist colour. in 1933, when hitler came to power, helholz-or fled from germany and settled in palestine, where from 1937, after initial hardships, he was able to devote himself to his painting. his favored subjects include figurative scenes, marine life and schematic cities, some of which are based on jerusalem, jaffa and also memories of german cities and railway bridges, reminiscent of motifs used by max beckmann. he stood out in the nascent israeli art scene because of his adherence to avant-garde rather than nostalgic forms. helholz -or also experimented with the prismatic effects of light, and like many other german artists of the period, his work fluctuated between an expressionist version of orphism (under the influence of the delaunays) and cubism. his townscapes and still lives owe much to paul klee, particularly his creation of \"all-over\" formal poetic patterning. in 1977 the artist was awarded a prize from the national museum of monaco."},"estimateMax":32000,"lotNumber":"353B","title":{"en":"#9 cubism,

beatrice and dante met only twice during their lives. even less credible is the numerology behind these encounters, marking out dante's life in periods of nine years. this amount of time falls in line with dante's repeated use of the number three or multiples of, derived from the holy trinity. it is more likely that the encounters with beatrice that dante writes of are the two that fulfill his poetic vision, and beatrice, like petrarch's laura, seem to blur the line between an actual love interest and a means employed by the poet. according to dante, he first met beatrice when his father took him to the portinari house for a may day party. at the time, beatrice was eight years old, a year younger than dante. dante was instantly taken with her and remained so throughout her life even though she married another man, banker simone dei bardi, in 1287. beatrice died three years later in june 1290 at the age of 24. dante continued to hold an abiding love and respect for the woman after her death, even after he married gemma donati in 1285 and had children. after beatrice's death, dante withdrew into intense study and began composing poems dedicated to her memory. the collection of these poems, along with others he had previously written in his journal in awe of beatrice, became la vita nuova. following their first meeting, dante was so enthralled by beatrice that he later wrote in la vita nuova: ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur mihi (\"behold, a deity stronger than i; who coming, shall rule over me.\") indeed, dante frequented parts of florence, his home city, where he thought he might catch even a glimpse of her. as he did so, he made great efforts to ensure his thoughts of beatrice remained private, even writing poetry for another lady, so as to use her as a \"screen for the truth\". dante's courtly love for beatrice continued for nine years, before the pair finally met again in his creations. \n \n condition very good, no cracks, there are several

began studying sculpture at the age of 6 at the liberty tadd school of modeling. she went on to study with charles grafly at the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts before opening her own studio in the late 1920's, with the support of her parents, anna b. coxe and charlton yarnall. amilcare santini was born in 1910 near the city of florence in tuscany. at the age of twelve he became an apprentice to the sculptor colombini who became a major influence in his career. he spent most of his time learning his craft in his workshop - at that time he worked with clay that he took from the local river, back to his studio, where the material would sit for four weeks until the water rose to the surface and the material settled on the bottom - he then could use it for molding his statues into beautiful art objects. he prepared the pieces by hand using only simple tools such as wooden sticks. ninety percent of the work was done by hand. he then traveled to florence and attended the university where he was instrumental in developing the process of combining marble, alabaster and resin. this material is then poured into molds made by santini - after it hardens sitting at room temperature - the figure is taken out and completely finished by hand in the very old artistic italian tradition and style that the great masters of marble handed down through the ages. the marble and alabaster are found in the quarries near volterra. amilcare santini passed away in 1975 and now his son nedo and grandson alberto santini are the third generation of the santini family carrying on the tradition of producing these beautiful \"objects d' art\". there are now four renowned sculptors that are active in the company. enio furesi specializes in classical and religious figurines, isabella di fabio specializes in handpainted figurines and animals, marcello salvestrini specializes in art deco and nude figures and andreas kostner specializes in creche and holy images. the artists, along with the original works of santini, are carrying on the tradition of the santini name that is known for quality, beauty and craftsmanship over the last eighty years. a. santini sculptures represent some of the most prestigious museum quality lines of sculptures in the world."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"362","title":{"en":"impressionism antique bronze playing clown, ca

royal porcelain factory in berlin (german: königliche porzellan-manufaktur berlin, abbreviated as kpm), also known as the royal porcelain manufactory berlin and whose products are generally called berlin porcelain, was founded in 1763 by king frederick ii of prussia (known as frederick the great). its actual origins, however, lie in three private enterprises which, under crown patronage, were trying to establish the production of \"white gold\" (i.e. porcelain) in berlin from the mid-18th century onwards. the company logo is a cobalt blue sceptre, which is stamped (painted prior to 1837) on every piece. all painted pieces produced by kpm are signed by the painter. kpm is still producing to this day; each piece of dishware and decorative porcelain is entirely unique. kpm has produced a number of dishware forms and porcelain figurines throughout its history. some forms have hardly changed their shape in over 200 years of production. frederick the great, who, as the owner, jokingly referred to himself as his own \"best customer\", was under the spell of the rococo style during his life; a culmination of this artistic style can be seen in his castles. to this day, the most successful designs of the 1930s are the urbino, urania and arkadia (originally a tea set designed in honor of kpm's 175th anniversary) created by trude petri. the arkadia medallions were created by siegmund schütz and the urania set (with the same basic form as the arkadia) did not enter production until after the war, as was also the case with the arkadia table set. porcelain figurines of different styles corresponding to each era have always been created under the guidance of the master workshop, including the modern animal sculptures, such as the miniature buddy bear or the knut bear."},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"363B","title":{"en":"antique german porcelain flower girl figurine 32 cm, circa 1800-1900,

louis xv and his mistress madame de pompadour, in order to compete with factories such as chantilly in france and meissen in germany.[1] in 1756, the manufactory was moved to a building in sèvres, built at the initiative of madame de pompadour, near her château de bellevue. from about 1745, the porcelain manufactory at vincennes (established in 1740 on the grounds of a former hunting lodge, east of paris) marked its wares with the royal cipher \u2013 two interlaced l\u2019s. this is usually painted in cobalt blue, either in over-glaze enamel or in underglaze pigment. a date-lettering system was introduced around 1754. soon the factory\u2019s decorators, particularly painters, began to mark their work. throwers, moulders and répareurs, who fashioned or assembled objects, incised marks into the clay, which although largely unidentified, provide some evidence of authenticity. for a detailed discussion of marks see rosalind savill, the wallace collection catalogue of sèvres

sitting on the top of the clock. the highest-grade amethyst (called \"deep russian\") is exceptionally rare and therefore, when one is found, its value is dependent on the demand of collectors. one of the most fascinating figures in ottoman history is the ukrainian girl who rose from harem slave status to become queen of the empire and wife of the most celebrated sultan of all, suleiman the magnificent. known in turkey as hurrem sultan and in europe as roxolana, her exact origins remain shrouded in mystery but historians generally agree that she came from rural western ukraine, where she was born at the turn of the sixteenth century. many accounts give her birthplace as the ukrainian town of rohatyn in lviv oblast, where a monument now stands in her honor. hurrem sultan (turkish pronunciation: [hyɾˈɾæm suɫˈtan], ottoman turkish: خُرّم سلطان, romanized: ḫurrem sulṭān, modern turkish: hürrem sultan; c. 1502 \u2013 15 april 1558), also known as roxelana (ukrainian: роксолана; lit.\u2009'the ruthenian one'), was the chief consort and wife of the ottoman sultan suleiman the magnificent. she became one of most powerful and influential women in ottoman history as well as a prominent and controversial figure during the era known as the sultanate of women. born in ruthenia (then an eastern region of the kingdom of poland, now ukraine) to a ruthenian orthodox priest, hurrem was captured by crimean tatars during a slave raid and eventually taken to istanbul, the ottoman capital. she entered the imperial harem, rose through the ranks and became the favourite of sultan suleiman. breaking ottoman tradition, he married hurrem, making her his legal wife; sultans had previously married only foreign free noble ladies. she was the first imperial consort to receive the title haseki sultan. hurrem remained in the sultan's court for the rest of her life, having six children with him, including the future sultan, selim ii. she was the grandmother of murad iii. hurrem eventually achieved power, influencing the politics of the ottoman empire. through her husband, she played an active role in affairs of the state. she probably acted as the sultan's advisor, wrote diplomatic letters to king sigismund ii augustus of poland (r. 1548\u20131572) and patronized major public works (including the haseki sultan complex and the hurrem sultan bathhouse). she died

genuine patina and stable rust, overall perfect condition; some history: the story of the arrival of the rus in the east is first told in the primary chronicle (also known as the tale of bygone years, c. 12th century ce) of russia. this work relates how the people of the land invited the rus (identified as scandinavian vikings) to rule and maintain order in their country in the mid-9th century ce. three brothers, including one named rurik, accepted the invitation and founded the rurik dynasty which would last for over 700 years. this version of events is supported in the present day by historians who are labeled `normanists\u2019 (those who accept a norse origin for the rurikid dynasty) and is challenged by so-called `anti-normanists\u2019 who argue for a slavic origin of russia and the other states. the normanist claims are presently considered more valid and it is generally accepted that the norse leader rurik (r. 862-879 ce) founded the dynasty which would endure, in an unbroken line, through the reign of ivan iv, first tsar of russia (r. 1547-1584 ce) also known as ivan the terrible. the state of kievan rus fell to the mongols between 1237-1242 ce, breaking the region in pieces which eventually developed into the modern states of belarus, russia, and the ukraine. vikings founded kievan rus in the mid-9th century, but scandanavian settlements in eastern europe actually date back to at least a.d. 750. this is when pre-viking-age scandanavians likely settled the northwestern russian town of staraya ladoga (or \u201cold ladoga\u201d), across lake ladoga from what is now finland. one of the artifacts archaeologists have unearthed from the city is a talisman with the face of odin, the norse god of war. \u201cthe early scandinavians were particularly attracted to ladoga by the appearance of islamic silver coins or dirhams there,\u201d writes scholar thomas s. noonan. \u201cthe regular flow of islamic dirhams from russia to scandinavia via ladoga began in the early ninth century and is further evidence of a viking presence in ladoga long before 840.\u201d

that process, in which troughs or cells are carved, etched, die struck, or cast into the surface of a metal object, and filled with vitreous enamel. the piece is then fired until the enamel fuses, and when cooled the surface of the object is polished. the uncarved portions of the original surface remain visible as a frame for the enamel designs; typically they are gilded in medieval work.[1] the name comes from the french for \"raised field\", \"field\" meaning background, though the technique in practice lowers the area to be enameled rather than raising the rest of the surface. the technique has been used since ancient times, though it is no longer among the most commonly used enameling techniques. champlevé is suited to the covering of relatively large areas, and to figurative images, although it was first prominently used in celtic art for geometric designs. in romanesque art its potential was fully used, decorating caskets, plaques and vessels, in limoges enamel and that from other centers. champlevé is distinguished from the technique of cloisonné enamel in which the troughs are created by soldering flat metal strips to the surface of the object. the difference between the techniques is analogous to the woodworking techniques of intarsia and marquetry. it differs from the basse-taille technique, which succeeded it in the highest quality gothic work, in that the bottoms of the recesses for the enamel are rough, and so only opaque enamel colours are used. in basse-taille the recesses are modelled, and translucent enamels are used, for more subtle effects, as in the 14th century parisian royal gold cup.[2]"},"estimateMax":2000,"lotNumber":"381","title":{"en":"silver champlevé enamel 84 silver spoon, imperial russia,

словом и житиемъ установлено въ благочестивое царствие великого государя императора павла первого 1797 декабря 10\u201d pavel 1 (1796-1801) наперсный крест от святейшего синода выдаваемый (павловский наперсный крест) \u2014 императорская (в 1797\u20141881 годах), затем синодальная награда для православного духовенства, выдававшаяся протоиереям как знак признания их заслуг. история награды и её статус первое упоминание наперсного креста в качестве награды датируется 1742 годом[1], когда императрица елизавета наградила драгоценным наперсным крестом своего духовника протоиерея феодора дубянского. затем такие же награды щедро вручала полюбившимся протоиереям и священникам императрица екатерина ii. практика награждения духовенства, в том числе наперсными крестами, была законодательно оформлена в царствование императора павла i. 18 декабря 1797 года императором павлом i установлен наградной наперсный крест как знак отличия, выдававшийся протоиереям за заслуги. указ императора святейшему синоду гласил: а дабы священники могли за отличные заслуги удостоиться и особливых почестей, определяем в пользу белого священства: во-первых, получение креста для ношения на цепи на шее. во-вторых, употребление фиолетовой бархатной камилавки или скуфьи. и, наконец, третье, для знатнейших из них митры, каковую употребляют архимандриты. с тем, однако же, что сии отличные почести не инако как по воле или утверждению нашему даваемы или дозволяемы будут[2]. таким образом, этот наперсный крест являлся четвёртой по-порядку наградой священников после набедренника, скуфьи и камилавки, и последней \u2014 перед митрой. после учреждения «павловский наперсный крест» стал называться «наперсный крест от святейшего синода выдаваемый», хотя в действительности эта награда утверждалась императором, а лишь только с 1881 года \u2014 синодом. протоиереям, затем и священникам, имеющим такой наперсный крест или его позднюю модификацию, разрешалось принимать и носить подносимые им прихожанами наперсные кресты с драгоценными украшениями (с 1881 года одновременно с обычным или наградным крестом запрещалось носить более одного поднесённого). в современности многие священники, у которых «павловский наперсный крест» передавался из поколения в поколение, носят его с особым чувством \u2014 как знак преемственности, духовной связи с предшественниками. описание внешнего вида: крест был четырехконечный размером 11 х 7,5 см на цепи 126 см длиной, которые изготавливались из серебра «84 пробы» с позолотой общей массой 165 грамм. на лицевой стороне помещалось накладное рельефное изображение распятия, позднее \u2014 не накладное, начертанное. над ним криптограмма «i h ц i» («иисус назарянин, царь иудейский»). на оборотной стороне размещены вензель императора павла i и надписи: «пресвитеру, дающему образ верным словом и житием» и «о. установлено в благочестивое царствование великого государя императора павла i 1797. декабря 18». оформление креста оставалось неизменным вплоть до революции 1917 года."},"estimateMax":12000,"lotNumber":"384","title":{"en":"pavlovsky pectoral silver cross, павловский наперсный крест,

regarded as one of the greatest lead singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman, with his highly theatrical style influencing the artistic direction of queen. born in 1946 in zanzibar to parsi-indian parents, he attended english-style boarding schools in india from the age of eight and returned to zanzibar after secondary school. in 1964, his family fled the zanzibar revolution, moving to middlesex, england. having studied and written music for years, he formed queen in 1970 with guitarist brian may and drummer roger taylor. mercury wrote numerous hits for queen, including \"killer queen\", \"bohemian rhapsody\", \"somebody to love\", \"we are the champions\", \"don't stop me now\", and \"crazy little thing called love\". his charismatic stage performances often saw him interact with the audience, as displayed at the 1985 live aid concert. he also led a solo career and served as a producer and guest musician for other artists. mercury died in 1991 at age 45 due to complications from aids. he confirmed the day before his death that he had contracted the disease, having been diagnosed in 1987. mercury had continued to record with queen following his diagnosis, and he was posthumously featured on the band\u2019s final album, made in heaven (1995). in 1992, his tribute concert was held at wembley stadium. his career with queen was dramatised in the 2018 biopic bohemian rhapsody. as a member of queen, mercury was posthumously inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 2001, the songwriters hall of fame in 2003, and the uk music hall of fame in 2004. in 1990, he and the other queen members were awarded the brit award for outstanding

arena rock and pop rock. before forming queen, may and taylor had played together in the band smile. mercury was a fan of smile and encouraged them to experiment with more elaborate stage and recording techniques. he joined in 1970 and suggested the name \"queen\". deacon was recruited in february 1971, before the band released their eponymous debut album in 1973. queen first charted in the uk with their second album, queen ii, in 1974. sheer heart attack later that year and a night at the opera in 1975 brought them international success. the latter featured \"bohemian rhapsody\",

champions\", which have become anthems at sporting events. by the early 1980s, queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world. \"another one bites the dust\" from the game (1980) became their best-selling single, while their 1981 compilation album greatest hits is the best-selling album in the uk and is certified eight times platinum in the us. their performance at the 1985 live aid

discovered while working at a mcdonald's restaurant by montreal hairdresser and artistic director of platine coiffure, edward zaccaria.[1] soon after her discovery, there was a shift in mentality

pursued a modeling career, premiering in milan and paris before moving to new york in 1990. here, she was noticed by fashion critics and labels alike.[1] the new york times described her runway walk as a \"ball-bearing swivel of her hips\".[2] her appearance prompted part of what is now termed in fashion the \"canadian invasion\".[3] achievments one of her early appearances was in the music video

presley \u2013 famous american singer, 8\u201dx10\u201d high quality photo music memorabilia rock and pop photo size of the photo: 8 x 10 inches = 20.3 cm x 25.4 cm; elvis aaron presley (january 8, 1935 \u2013 august 16, 1977), also known simply as elvis, was an american singer, musician and actor. he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century and is often referred to as the \"king of rock and roll\". his energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy. presley was born in tupelo, mississippi, and relocated to memphis, tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old. his music career began there in 1954, recording at sun records with producer sam phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of african-american music to a wider audience. presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist scotty moore and bassist bill black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. in 1955, drummer d. j. fontana joined to complete the lineup of presley's classic quartet and rca victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by colonel tom parker, who would manage him for more than two decades. presley's first rca single, \"heartbreak hotel\", was released in january 1956 and became a number-one hit in the united states. with a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. in november 1956, presley made his film debut in love me tender. drafted into military service in 1958, presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. he held few concerts, however, and guided by parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. in 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special elvis, which led to an extended las vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. in 1973, presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, aloha from hawaii. years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his graceland estate at the age of 42. with his rise from poverty to significant fame, presley's success seemed to epitomize the american dream. he is the best-selling solo music artist of all time, and was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, r&b, adult contemporary, and gospel. he won three grammy awards, received the grammy lifetime achievement award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame. presley holds several records; the most riaa certified gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the billboard 200, and the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the uk albums chart and the most number-one singles by any act on the uk singles chart. in 2018, presley was posthumously awarded the presidential medal of freedom by donald

produced by raymond hakim and robert hakim. it stars american actor anthony quinn and italian actress gina lollobrigida. the film is the first version of the novel to be made in color. in the

their voices dubbed into english. anthony quinn's portrayal of the hunchback quasimodo is more human and less horrific than most other portrayals. instead of having a huge hump and a hideously deformed face, he only has a small curve in his spine and a slightly deformed face. luigia lollobrigida[1][a] (born 4 july 1927), known professionally as gina lollobrigida, is an italian actress and

second career as a photojournalist. in the 1970s, she achieved a scoop by gaining access to fidel castro for an exclusive interview. she has continued as an active supporter of italian and italian american causes, particularly the national italian american foundation (niaf). in 2008, she received the niaf lifetime achievement award at the foundation's anniversary gala.[2][3] in 2013, she sold

crime film directed by francis ford coppola, who co-wrote the screenplay with mario puzo, based on puzo's best-selling 1969 novel of the same name. the film stars marlon brando, al pacino, james caan, richard castellano, robert duvall, sterling hayden, john marley, richard conte, and diane keaton. it is the first installment in the godfather trilogy. the story, spanning from 1945 to 1955, chronicles the corleone family under patriarch vito corleone (brando), focusing on the transformation of his youngest son, michael corleone (pacino), from reluctant family outsider to ruthless mafia boss. paramount pictures obtained the rights to the novel for the price of $80,000, before it gained popularity.[2][3] studio executives had trouble finding a director; the first few candidates turned down the position before coppola signed on to direct the film but disagreement followed over casting several characters, in particular, vito and michael. filming took place primarily on location around new york city and in sicily, and was completed ahead of schedule. the musical score was composed principally by nino rota, with additional pieces by carmine coppola. the godfather premiered at the loew's state theatre on march 14, 1972, and was widely released in the united states on march 24, 1972. it was the highest-grossing film of 1972,[4] and was for a time the highest-grossing film ever made,[3] earning between $246 and $287 million at the box office. the film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences, with praise for the performances, particularly those of brando and pacino, the directing, screenplay, cinematography, editing, score, and portrayal of the mafia. the godfather acted as a catalyst for the successful careers of coppola, pacino, and other relative newcomers in the cast and crew. additionally the film revitalized brando's career, which had declined in the 1960s, and he went on to star in films such as last tango in paris, superman, and apocalypse now. at the 45th academy awards, the film won the oscars for best picture, best actor (brando), and best adapted screenplay (for puzo and coppola). in addition, the seven other oscar nominations included pacino, caan, and duvall for best supporting actor, and coppola for best director. since its release, the godfather has been widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, especially in the gangster genre.[5] it was selected for preservation in the u.s. national film registry of the library of congress in 1990, being deemed \"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\" and is ranked the second-greatest film in american cinema (behind citizen kane) by the american film institute. it was followed by sequels the godfather part ii (1974) and the godfather part iii (1990)."},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"414J","title":{"en":"the godfather 8\u201dx10\u201d, photo of al pacino, marlon brando, james caan and fredo (left to

photo of marilyn monroe in long sexy dress, 5 x 7 inches. marilyn monroe born norma jeane mortenson; june 1, 1926 \u2013 august 4, 1962) was an american actress, model, and singer. famous for playing comedic \"blonde bombshell\" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's sexual revolution. she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2019) by the time of her death in 1962.[1] long after her death, she continues to be a major icon of pop culture.[2] in 1999, the american film institute ranked monroe sixth on its list of the greatest female screen legends from the golden age of hollywood. born and raised in los angeles, monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage and married at age 16. she was working in a factory during world war ii when she met a photographer from the first motion picture unit and began a successful pin-up modeling career, which led to short-lived film contracts with 20th century fox and columbia pictures. after a series of minor film roles, she signed a new contract with fox in late 1950. over the next two years, she became a popular actress with roles in several comedies, including as young as you feel and monkey business, and in the dramas clash by night and don't bother to knock. she faced a scandal when it was revealed that she had posed for nude photos before she became a star, but the story did not damage her career and instead resulted in increased interest in her films. by 1953, monroe was one of the most marketable hollywood stars; she had leading roles in the film noir niagara, which focused on her sex appeal, and the comedies gentlemen prefer blondes and how to marry a millionaire, which established her star image as a \"dumb blonde\". the same year, her nude images were used as the centerfold and on the cover of the first issue of playboy. she played a significant role in the creation and management of her public image throughout her career, but she was disappointed when she was typecast and underpaid by the studio. she was briefly suspended in early 1954 for refusing a film project but returned to star in the seven year itch (1955), one of the biggest box office successes of her career. when the studio was still reluctant to change monroe's

(1939), becoming the first african american to win an oscar. in addition to acting in many films, mcdaniel recorded 16 blues sides between 1926 and 1929 (10 were issued) and was a radio performer and television star; she was the first black woman to sing on radio in the united states.[3][4] she appeared in over 300 films, although she received screen credits for only 83.[5] encountering racism and racial segregation throughout her career, mcdaniel was unable to attend the premiere of gone with the wind in atlanta because it was held at a whites-only theater, and at the oscars ceremony in los angeles she sat at a segregated table at the side of the room; the ambassador hotel where the ceremony was held was for whites only, but allowed mcdaniel in as a favor. when she died in 1952, her final wish--to be buried in hollywood cemetery--was denied because the graveyard was restricted to whites only. mcdaniel has two stars on the hollywood walk of fame in hollywood: one at 6933 hollywood boulevard for her contributions to radio; and one at 1719 vine street for acting in motion pictures. she was inducted into the black filmmakers hall of fame in 1975, and in 2006 she became the first

(thai: ปลัดขิก, pronounced [pā.làt kʰìk], rtgs: palatkhik) is a kind of thai amulet that is shaped like a penis. the phrase \"palad khik\" means \"honorable surrogate penis\". these amulets range from a few inches to several feet long in length. the smaller versions are usually worn on the body while the larger versions are displayed in shops and other establishments.[1] palad khiks are usually worn by males on a cord around their waist under the clothes and off-center from the real penis. it is not unusual for a male to wear many palad khiks at the same time, in the hope to attract women, increase gambling luck and protection from dangerous objects such as bullets and knives.[7] at times, women in thailand also carry it in their purses to protect them from rape and mugging. shop owners display them in their shops or in the cash register area to protect their business and also bring good luck and sales.[8] a notable feature of this type of amulet is it can be worn in places considered as lowly or unclean such as bars, gambling casinos and brothels. normally, you cannot bring a buddhist amulet inside such establishments.[9]"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"416F","title":{"en":"10 cm- hardwood phallus/penis - thai amulet (palad khik), thailand,

extinct marine arthropods that form the class trilobita. trilobites form one of the earliest known groups of arthropods. the first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the atdabanian stage of the early cambrian period (521 million years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower paleozoic era before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction when, during the devonian, all trilobite orders except the proetids died out. trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the permian about 250 million years ago. the trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.[4] by the time trilobites first appeared in the fossil record, they were already highly diversified and geographically dispersed. because trilobites had wide diversity and an easily fossilized exoskeleton, an extensive fossil record was left behind, with some 17,000 known species spanning paleozoic time. the study of these fossils has facilitated important contributions to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolutionary biology, and plate tectonics. trilobites are often placed within the arthropod subphylum schizoramia within the superclass arachnomorpha (equivalent to the arachnata),[5] although several alternative taxonomies are found in the literature. trilobites had many lifestyles; some moved over the sea bed as predators, scavengers, or filter feeders, and some swam, feeding on plankton. most lifestyles expected of modern marine arthropods are seen in trilobites, with the possible exception of parasitism (where scientific debates still exist).[6] some trilobites (particularly the family olenidae) are even thought to have evolved a symbiotic relationship with sulfur-eating bacteria from which they derived food.[7]"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"417","title":{"en":"genuine fossil trilobite, 521-250 million years

which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong, changeable colors which make the shells attractive to humans as decorative objects, jewelry, and as a source of colorful

and other crustaceans. \u2013 during the first year of life, conchs live under the sand during the day and come out to feed on the surface of the sand at night. \u2013 conchs are herbivores\u2014they eat algae and other tiny marine plants. \u2013 it may take a queen conch at least 5 years to reach maturity\u2014growing up to a maximum of 12 inches long and 5 pounds. \u2013 the adult conch has a large, solid and heavy shell, with knob-like spines on the shoulder, a flared thick, outer lip and characteristic pink/orange colored opening. \u2013 the queen conch is a long-living species, with an estimated lifespan up to 40 years. \u2013 conchs produce natural pearls in hues of white, brown, orange, and pink. \u2013 only grown conch should be caught. \u2013 when you listen through a conch shell it\u2019s not the sound of the ocean you hear but the sound of blood rushing through the veins in your head. -conch shells can be used as wind instruments. they are prepared by cutting a hole in the spire of the shell near the apex and then blowing into the shell as if it were a trumpet, as a blowing horn. sometimes a mouthpiece is used, but some shell trumpets are blown without one. pitch is adjusted by moving one's hand in and out of the aperture; the deeper the hand, the lower the note. various species of large marine gastropod shells can be turned into blowing shells, but some of the best-known species used are the sacred chank or shankha turbinella pyrum, the triton's trumpet charonia tritonis, and the queen conch strombus

the duke was his maternal great-uncle, as well as first cousin twice removed patrilineally. cardinal fleury was his chief minister from 1726 until the cardinal's death in 1743, at which time the young king took sole control of the kingdom. during his reign, louis returned the austrian netherlands; this territory was won at the battle of fontenoy of 1745 but given back to austria by the terms of the treaty of aix-la-chapelle of 1748. louis also ceded new france in north america at the conclusion of the seven years' war in 1763. he incorporated the territories of lorraine and corsica into the kingdom of france. he was succeeded by his grandson louis xvi in 1774. most scholars believe louis xv's decisions damaged the power of france, weakened the treasury, discredited the absolute monarchy, and made it more vulnerable to distrust and destruction, as happened in the french revolution, which broke out 15 years after his death.[1] davies says that after louis xv took full control in 1723, his reign \"was one of debilitating stagnation,\" characterized by lost wars, endless clashes between the court and parliament, and religious feuds.[2] a few scholars defend louis, arguing that his highly negative reputation was based on propaganda meant to justify the french revolution. blum says he was \"a perpetual adolescent called to do a man's job.\""},"estimateMax":2500,"lotNumber":"503","title":{"en":"french silver ecu coin louis xv, 1768"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/33014/lot/18489/view","tags":["usnumismatics_coins","usnumismatics","usnumismatics_all"],"directSalePrice":800,"lastUpdate":"2025-11-14T08:23:55.032Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$1,300 - $2,500","currency":"USD","id":18489,"estimateMin":1300},{"startPrice":300,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/008/008.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/009/009.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/010/010.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/011/011.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/18490/012/012.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-05-21","available":false,"description":{"en":"weight: 64.87 g;

currency issued by the central bank of china between 1930 and 1948. in chinese, the name of the currency was 關金圓 guānjīnyuán, literally \"customs gold yuan\" but the english name given on the back of the notes was \"customs gold unit\". it was divided into 100 cents (關金分). as the name suggests, this currency was initially used for customs payments, but in 1942 it was put into general circulation for use by the public at 20 times its face value in terms of the first chinese yuan. the republic of china (roc) during 1912 to 1949, commonly known as china, was a sovereign state based in mainland china prior to the relocation of its government to taiwan. at a population of 541 million in 1949, it was the world's most populous country. covering 11.4 million square kilometres (4.4 million square miles),[3] it consisted of 35 provinces, 1 special administrative region, 2 regions, 12 special municipalities, 14 leagues, and 4 special banners. this period is sometimes referred to as the republican era[4] or the mainland period.[5] the republic was declared on 1 january 1912 after the xinhai revolution, which overthrew the qing dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of china, ending 5,000 years of monarchy in china.[citation needed] sun yat-sen, the founder and its president served only briefly before handing over the position to yuan shikai, the leader of the beiyang army. sun's party, the kuomintang (kmt), then led by song jiaoren, won the parliamentary election held in december 1912. however, song was assassinated on yuan's orders shortly after and the beiyang army, led by yuan, maintained full control of the beiyang government, who then proclaimed himself emperor of china from 1915 before abdicating not long after due to popular unrest. after yuan's death in 1916, the authority of the beiyang government was further weakened by a brief restoration of the qing dynasty. cliques in the beiyang army claimed individual autonomy and clashed with each other during the ensuing warlord era. in 1921, the kmt established the national government in guangzhou, supported by the fledgling communist party of china (cpc). the economy of northern china, overtaxed to support warlord adventurism, collapsed between 1927 and 1928. general chiang kai-shek, who became the chairman of the kuomintang after sun's death in 1925, started the northern expedition in 1926 to overthrow the beiyang government, which was accomplished in 1928. in april 1927, chiang established a nationalist government in nanjing and massacred communists in shanghai. the latter event forced the cpc into armed rebellion, marking the beginning of the chinese civil war. china experienced some industrialization during the 1930s but suffered setbacks from conflicts between the nationalist government in nanjing, the cpc, remaining warlords, and the empire of japan. nation-building efforts yielded to fight the second sino-japanese war, when the imperial japanese army launched an offensive against china in 1937 which turned into a full-scale invasion that lasted until the surrender of japan at the end of world war ii in 1945 and regained control of the island of taiwan and the pescadores. shortly after, the chinese civil war between the kmt and cpc resumed, leading to the 1946 constitution of the republic of china replacing the 1928 organic law[6] as the republic's fundamental law.

currency issued by the central bank of china between 1930 and 1948. in chinese, the name of the currency was 關金圓 guānjīnyuán, literally \"customs gold yuan\" but the english name given on the back of the notes was \"customs gold unit\". it was divided into 100 cents (關金分). as the name suggests, this currency was initially used for customs payments, but in 1942 it was put into general circulation for use by the public at 20 times its face value in terms of the first chinese yuan. the republic of china (roc) during 1912 to 1949, commonly known as china, was a sovereign state based in mainland china prior to the relocation of its government to taiwan. at a population of 541 million in 1949, it was the world's most populous country. covering 11.4 million square kilometres (4.4 million square miles),[3] it consisted of 35 provinces, 1 special administrative region, 2 regions, 12 special municipalities, 14 leagues, and 4 special banners. this period is sometimes referred to as the republican era[4] or the mainland period.[5] the republic was declared on 1 january 1912 after the xinhai revolution, which overthrew the qing dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of china, ending 5,000 years of monarchy in china.[citation needed] sun yat-sen, the founder and its president served only briefly before handing over the position to yuan shikai, the leader of the beiyang army. sun's party, the kuomintang (kmt), then led by song jiaoren, won the parliamentary election held in december 1912. however, song was assassinated on yuan's orders shortly after and the beiyang army, led by yuan, maintained full control of the beiyang government, who then proclaimed himself emperor of china from 1915 before abdicating not long after due to popular unrest. after yuan's death in 1916, the authority of the beiyang government was further weakened by a brief restoration of the qing dynasty. cliques in the beiyang army claimed individual autonomy and clashed with each other during the ensuing warlord era. in 1921, the kmt established the national government in guangzhou, supported by the fledgling communist party of china (cpc). the economy of northern china, overtaxed to support warlord adventurism, collapsed between 1927 and 1928. general chiang kai-shek, who became the chairman of the kuomintang after sun's death in 1925, started the northern expedition in 1926 to overthrow the beiyang government, which was accomplished in 1928. in april 1927, chiang established a nationalist government in nanjing and massacred communists in shanghai. the latter event forced the cpc into armed rebellion, marking the beginning of the chinese civil war. china experienced some industrialization during the 1930s but suffered setbacks from conflicts between the nationalist government in nanjing, the cpc, remaining warlords, and the empire of japan. nation-building efforts yielded to fight the second sino-japanese war, when the imperial japanese army launched an offensive against china in 1937 which turned into a full-scale invasion that lasted until the surrender of japan at the end of world war ii in 1945 and regained control of the island of taiwan and the pescadores. shortly after, the chinese civil war between the kmt and cpc resumed, leading to the 1946 constitution of the republic of china replacing the 1928 organic law[6] as the republic's fundamental law. three years later, in 1949, nearing the end of the civil war after, the cpc established the people's republic of china on the mainland, with the nationalists moving their capital several times from

catherine ii[a] (born sophie of anhalt-zerbst; 2 may 1729 \u2013 17 november 1796[b]), most commonly known as catherine the great,[c] was empress of all russia from 1762 until 1796\u2014the country's longest-ruling female leader. she came to power following a coup d'état that overthrew her husband and second cousin, peter iii. under her reign, russia grew larger, its culture was revitalised, and it was recognized as one of the great powers worldwide.[citation needed] in her accession to power and her rule of the empire, catherine often relied on her noble favourites, most notably count grigory orlov and grigory potemkin. assisted by highly successful generals such as alexander suvorov and pyotr rumyantsev, and admirals such as samuel greig and fyodor ushakov, she governed at a time when the russian empire was expanding rapidly by conquest and diplomacy. in the south, the crimean khanate was crushed following victories over the bar confederation and ottoman empire in the russo-turkish war, 1768-1774 due to the support of the united kingdom, and russia colonised the territories of novorossiya along the coasts of the black and azov seas. in the west, the polish\u2013lithuanian commonwealth, ruled by catherine's former lover, king stanisław august poniatowski, was eventually partitioned, with the russian empire gaining the largest share. in the east, russia started to colonise alaska, establishing russian america. catherine reformed the administration of russian guberniyas (governorates), and many new cities and towns were founded on her orders. an admirer of peter the great, catherine continued to modernize russia along western european lines. however, military conscription and the economy continued to depend on serfdom, and the increasing demands of the state and of private landowners intensified the exploitation of serf labour. this was one of the chief reasons behind rebellions, including the large-scale pugachev rebellion of cossacks, nomads, peoples of volga and peasants. the period of catherine the great's rule, the catherinian era,[1] is considered a golden age of russia.[2] the manifesto on freedom of the nobility, issued during the short reign of peter iii and confirmed by catherine, freed russian nobles from compulsory military or state service. construction of many mansions of the nobility, in the classical style endorsed by the empress, changed the face of the country. she enthusiastically supported the ideals of the enlightenment and is often included in the ranks of the enlightened despots.[3] as a patron of the arts, she presided over the age of the russian enlightenment, including the establishment of the smolny institute for noble maidens, the first state-financed higher education institution for women in europe."},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"672","title":{"en":"russian imperial 5 kopeks copper coin 1777, ekaterina ii,

kopeks russian 1777 copper coin, ekaterina ii the great diameter: 41 mm; weight: 49.75 g; provenance: private collection in usa пятикопеечные монеты екатерины великой \u2013 одни из самых коллекционируемых медных денег в россии. они есть в коллекциях, как у новичков, так и опытных нумизматов. секрет такой популярности прост: это одна из самых крупных (в среднем 51 грамм) монет царской россии, она имеет красивый рисунок и довольно-таки доступна, ведь их тираж за всё время эмиссии (33 года) составил многие миллионы экземпляров! даже людей, далеких от нумизматики, такая красивая монета не может оставить равнодушными. медные пятаки часто встречаются в домашних коллекциях, ведь при таких гигантских тиражах она была самой ходовой в своё время. соответственно её и теряли чаще. многие коллекционеры могут припомнить историю из детства, как ими был найден пятачок на огороде у бабушки на огороде. во всех отношениях это культовая монета в отечественной нумизматики. пятикопеечники при екатерине чеканили семь монетных дворов: екатеринбургский (ем), московский (мм), сестрорецкий (см), санкт-петербургский (спм), аннинский (ам), таврический (тм) и сузунский (км). коллекционеры долгое время изучали эти монеты, и разработали целую типологию, позволяющую датировать штемпели по различиям в изображениях. как правило, это величина и положение крыльев орла, количество ягод в венке, ширина и высота вензеля или короны и прочее. в настоящий момент известно гораздо большее количество штемпелей, чем описано в каталогах. а в реальности, судя по всему, их было в разы больше! что же можно было купить во времена екатерины великой на 5 копеек? например, у радищева в «путешествии из петербурга в москву» (1790г.) герой щедро даёт ямщику 4 копейки за версту и эта цена \u2013 выше среднего, а 20 копеек \u2013 достаточная сумма «на водку». у карамзина в «бедной лизе» (1792 г.) лиза просит 5 копеек за букет ландышей. естественно екатерининские пятикопеечники, как и другие монеты, подделывали. но именно с ними произошла любопытная история. во второй половине 70-х годов 18 века, уверившись в слабости российской империи, изнуренной русско-турецкими войнами, шведский король густав iii решает, что пришло время взять реванш за былые поражения своего государства и начинает готовиться к войне. и вот, для того что бы упростить снабжение армии, густав iii идёт на хитрость. по его указанию на монетном дворе города авеста начинается чеканка фальшивых пятикопеечников. ими, наступающие войска, должны были расплачиваться с местным населением за провиант и фураж,

kopeks russian 1792 copper coin, ekaterina ii the great diameter: 43 mm; weight: 47.53 g; provenance: private collection in usa пятикопеечные монеты екатерины великой \u2013 одни из самых коллекционируемых медных денег в россии. они есть в коллекциях, как у новичков, так и опытных нумизматов. секрет такой популярности прост: это одна из самых крупных (в среднем 51 грамм) монет царской россии, она имеет красивый рисунок и довольно-таки доступна, ведь их тираж за всё время эмиссии (33 года) составил многие миллионы экземпляров! даже людей, далеких от нумизматики, такая красивая монета не может оставить равнодушными. медные пятаки часто встречаются в домашних коллекциях, ведь при таких гигантских тиражах она была самой ходовой в своё время. соответственно её и теряли чаще. многие коллекционеры могут припомнить историю из детства, как ими был найден пятачок на огороде у бабушки на огороде. во всех отношениях это культовая монета в отечественной нумизматики. пятикопеечники при екатерине чеканили семь монетных дворов: екатеринбургский (ем), московский (мм), сестрорецкий (см), санкт-петербургский (спм), аннинский (ам), таврический (тм) и сузунский (км). коллекционеры долгое время изучали эти монеты, и разработали целую типологию, позволяющую датировать штемпели по различиям в изображениях. как правило, это величина и положение крыльев орла, количество ягод в венке, ширина и высота вензеля или короны и прочее. в настоящий момент известно гораздо большее количество штемпелей, чем описано в каталогах. а в реальности, судя по всему, их было в разы больше! что же можно было купить во времена екатерины великой на 5 копеек? например, у радищева в «путешествии из петербурга в москву» (1790г.) герой щедро даёт ямщику 4 копейки за версту и эта цена \u2013 выше среднего, а 20 копеек \u2013 достаточная сумма «на водку». у карамзина в «бедной лизе» (1792 г.) лиза просит 5 копеек за букет ландышей. естественно екатерининские пятикопеечники, как и другие монеты, подделывали. но именно с ними произошла любопытная история. во второй половине 70-х годов 18 века, уверившись в слабости российской империи, изнуренной русско-турецкими войнами, шведский король густав iii решает, что пришло время взять реванш за былые поражения своего государства и начинает готовиться к войне. и вот, для того что бы упростить снабжение армии, густав iii идёт на хитрость. по его указанию на монетном дворе города авеста начинается чеканка фальшивых пятикопеечников. ими, наступающие войска, должны были расплачиваться с местным населением за провиант и фураж, требуемые для дальнейшего продвижения. однако планам густава не суждено было сбыться. война продлилась чуть более двух лет (1788-1790 годы) и закончилась полным поражением шведов. большая часть

1682 until his death in 1725, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, ivan v. through a number of successful wars, he captured ports at azov and the baltic sea, laying the groundwork for the imperial russian navy, ending uncontested swedish supremacy in the baltic and beginning the tsardom's expansion into a much larger empire that became a major european power. he led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the traditionalist and medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific, westernised and based on the enlightenment.[1] peter's reforms had a lasting impact on russia, and many institutions of the russian government trace their origins to his reign. he adopted the title of emperor in place of the old title of tsar in 1721, and founded and developed the city of saint petersburg, which remained the capital of russia until 1917. however, the formation of local elites domestically was not his main priority, and the first russian university was founded only a year before his death, in 1724. the second one was founded 30 years after his death, during the reign of his daughter

серебряные для офицеров и бронзовые для нижних чинов. 26 декабря в варшаву прибыл посланник императора - австрийский флигель-адъютант князь дитрихштейн никольсбургский. 27 декабря в лозенковском дворце он встретился со всеми офицерами л.-гв. кексгольмского полка. после окончания официального представления князь дитрихштейн сказал: «господа! его императорское королевское величество, мой августейший государь возложил на меня поручение передать л.-гв. кексгольмскому полку его привет, пожалованные его величеством полку подарки и юбилейные медали». затем он лично вручил всем офицерам и чиновникам юбилейные серебряные медали. награды удостоились: командир полка генерал -

5; в остальных ротах по 2 в каждую (для фельдфебеля и одного взводного унтер-офицера) - всего 30; фельдфебелю нестроевой роты, старшему музыкантской команды, полковому писарю, штаб-горнисту и полковому барабанщику. таким образом, всего л.-гв. кексгольмскому полку были пожалованы 175 серебряных и 70 бронзовых шефских юбилейных медалей. журнал \"цейхгауз\" №4, 2002 год. по данным д.и. петерса общее число пожалованных медалей -

выдающийся деятель церкви, просветитель, самая яркая фигура в среде иерархов екатерининской эпохи, архимандрит троице-сергиевой лавры, архиепископ московский и калужский, а позднее митрополит московский. он был наставником цесаревича павла петровича в законе божьем. свой курс христианского богословия он составил для наследника русского престола и впервые издал в 1765 г. в типографии императорской академии наук тиражом 800 экземпляров. со временем книга стала редкостью. это сочинение было первым опытом создания учебника по православному богословию в россии и отразило взгляды замечательного представителя эпохи просвещения. в предисловии к книге платон левшин подчеркивает, что богословие необходимо и полезно для наследника престола, так как сам факт его избранности богом на будущее занятие престола подразумевает особую связь с господом. монарх реализует на земле божью волю. богословие полезно как для развития души человека, так и для государства. эту идею рациональной и просвещенной церкви, главного опорного столпа государства и отстаивал на протяжении своей жизни преосвященный платон. государь ответствен только перед богом, он может демонстрировать как добрую волю, так и злую, и единственный ему судья, наказание и закон - это господь. слышать и понимать волю божью, видеть его промысел в хаосе исторических событий и учит платон своего царственного ученика. будущий царь на основе понимания божественных законов даст своему народу законы земные. писание же следует объяснять, согласуя текст его с «естественным разумом». платон левшин стал создателем этой интересной логической цепочки, характерной для российской империи эпохи просвещения. так, богословие превращалось в высшую направляющую науку, открывающую все пути - к управлению государством, к занятиям естественными науками, искусствами, словесными дисциплинами. платон стал первым из русских иерархов вводить в изучение богословия и истории церкви историко-критический метод, сопоставлять имеющиеся источники. в предисловии к книге архиепископ платон пишет о павле, что и екатерина ii, и елизавета видят в наследнике надежду русского государства, «отрасль нашу златую», и способности цесаревича это красноречиво обещают. помимо богословского курса, в книгу включено рассуждение о мелхиседеке, составленное платоном левшиным для наследника павла петровича в ноябре 1764 г., и ответ десятилетнего юноши на текст учителя, в котором павел рассуждает о пользе наук. интересно, что из концепции платона левшина о богословии как законоведении родилось такое практическое следствие, что некоторые выпускники духовных академий в начале xix века пошли на государственную службу и стали заниматься разработкой законов гражданских. самым ярким примером этого стала судьба и деятельность крупнейшего кодификатора российского законодательства первой трети xix века михаила михайловича сперанского."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"692C","title":{"en":"personal book of russian emperor pavel i -

examines the causes and origins of the american civil war. in this time/life volume i found at the library, james mcpherson, the pulitzer prize winner for 'battle cry of freedom' wrote the preface. he is an acknowledged historian, an expert on the civil war. america's civil war pitted brother against brother, family against family, and state against state in november of 1863. before it ended unpeacefully at appomattox, virginia, the families were devastated by the multiple deaths on both sides. started on april 12, 1861, at fort sumpter in the charleston harbor, by the end of four years more than a million americans had killed each other on the battlefields. antietam was the bloodiest, with gettysburg and shiloh close behind, in the number of fatalities. entire cities lay in ruin, as we saw in the movie, \"gone with the wind,\" and a way of life vanished forever. the gentility of the south was destroyed by the northern intruders. all they know in the northeast was fighting anyway, first with britain (revolution war) and the continuous battles with the native inhabitants, tribes of indians, as did the easterners when they moved west (fighting, killing, scalping by the indians as americans moved in to take over their lands). taking another's property is still going on today in knoxville, tennessee. here in the smoky mountains, we lived peaceably with the cherokees. and then they were forced to leave their lands behind for the carpetbaggers from the north to take over, but that's anothre story and another review (someday). the four years of the civil war (1861-1865) was america's bloodiest war on its own soil. casualties on both sides multiplied. on february 8, 1861, secessionist delegates in montgomery, alabama, adopted the constitution of the confederate states of america. jefferson davis was chosen as president and took office ten days later. at that time, he was a noted u. s. senator from mississippi. he declared that \"all southerners wanted to be left alone but, if attacked, they would defend themselves\" and appealed, \"let the erring sisters go in peace.\" two weeks later, march 4, 1861, abraham lincoln was sworn in as the 16th president and said that his duty was to defend the union (federalists). in only five weeks, the war (that little southern rebellion which expanded) began. in march, jefferson davis had issued a call for one hundred thousand southern volunteers to defend their own homes. some towns like my own hometown were divided in loyalties and the sons fought on different sides. some were recruited by the north who had more provisions, good uniforms, and promises. the southerners, in comparison, dressed in ragtag gray outfits. lincoln used his position to issue an executive order summoning 75,000 volunteers for three months' service! about twelve years ago, when questioned by a native of belize in south america, who said ,\"tell me about your civil war.\" i flauntingly said, \"oh, it was just brother against brother,\" which was no big deal in the place where i was born. most killings back then in my hometown were by family members with big tempers they did not try to control. my new-found friend from belize told me that surely it was more than that. he set me on the road to discovery about how the south suffered at the hands of the north, and it was nothing personal when brothers or cousins were recruited to fight against each other. this was not a game and none knew what exactly they were agreeing to do or how serious this war was to become. it was a \"helter-skelter rush to arms\" to defend a matter of principle and the southern way of life. we lost, but the war is not over even now. one thing about southerners with the scots-irish heritage is that we don't ever forget a wrong. this war divided families and life was never the same. no forgiveness, only rancor, for what was done to our lands and our way of life. now, they've infiltrated our territories again, not with guns yet, but those awful dialects (way of speaking) which make them feel superior, and their debauchery with liquor and drugs. right on gay street! the pictures in this book are fabulous, better and in more detail than any history book i've seen so far. maybe in the 1960s, some southerners did not overcome, as in the 1860s, but the 21st century is different. we will not let it happen again on our own lands. \"yankee, go home\" is alive and well as it was in 1863-65. the results will be reversed this time. before the real ending of the civil war, john wilkes booth who was 29 years younger than the president, took it in his befuddled mind to rectify the wrong perpetrated on his beloved south and shot in close proximity, causing a whole different outcome than would have been had lincoln lived. \u2022 publisher \u200f : \u200e time life education;
