width: 62 mm = 6.2 cm; weight: 755 g; provenance: private uk collection; from an old oxford collection formed in the 1990's. reference: the xiphos (ancient greek: ξίφος [ksípʰos]; plural xiphe, ancient greek: ξίφη [ksípʰɛː])[1] is a double-edged, one-handed iron age straight shortsword used by the ancient greeks. it was a secondary battlefield weapon for the greek armies after the dory or javelin. the classic blade was generally about 45\u201360 cm (18\u201324 in) long, although the spartans supposedly preferred to use blades as short as 30 cm (12 in) around the era of the greco-persian wars. reference: 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: 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":15000,"lotNumber":"1B","title":{"en":"ancient greek xiphos(?) bronze age sword antique sword, 1700 bc - 200 bc"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19541/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":300,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:34.956Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$7,500 - $15,000","currency":"USD","id":19541,"estimateMin":7500},{"startPrice":300,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19542/007/007.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"masterpiece of temple arts. height: 88 mm = 8.8 cm = 3.5 inches;

provenance: estate sale of american officer in gordon, texas, usa. references: the naginata (なぎなた, 薙刀) is a pole weapon and one of several varieties of traditionally made japanese blades (nihontō).[1][2] naginata were originally used by the samurai class 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":50000,"lotNumber":"2C","title":{"en":"masterpiece, national treasure- naginata, signed by 清長 kiyonaga, japanese samurai sword, kenji era (1275-1278)"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19552/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:53.380Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$25,000 - $50,000","currency":"USD","id":19552,"estimateMin":25000},{"startPrice":200,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/008/008.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19553/009/009.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"height: 2.5 inches = 6.35 cm;

formerly acquired on the european art market from pre-2000 collections. 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."},"estimateMax":8000,"lotNumber":"3B","title":{"en":"76 cm long, khazar empire semi-nomadic iron sword, 650-965 ad"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19558/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:53.395Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$4,000 - $8,000","currency":"USD","id":19558,"estimateMin":4000},{"startPrice":40,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19559/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19559/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19559/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19559/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19559/005/005.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"this lozenge shaped arrowhead was found along the \u201cvarangians to the greeks\u201d trade route, on the bank dnieper river. length: 83 mm;

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":6000,"lotNumber":"4D","title":{"en":"ottoman antique iron armor: helmet, tabar axe, dhal buckler shield"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19568/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:40.570Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$3,000 - $6,000","currency":"USD","id":19568,"estimateMin":3000},{"startPrice":200,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19569/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19569/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19569/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19569/004/004.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"incense burner in the shape of the lion/tiger, 11th -12th century ad. bronze finial coming from an incense burner in the shape of the head of the lion or tiger. origin: eastern iran or afghanistan;

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;

among the works created by leonardo in the 16th century is the small portrait known as the mona lisa or la gioconda, the laughing one. in the present era, it is arguably the most famous painting in the world. its fame rests, in particular, on the elusive smile on the woman's face, its mysterious quality perhaps due to the subtly shadowed corners of the mouth and eyes such that the exact nature of the smile cannot be determined. the shadowy quality for which the work is renowned came to be called \"sfumato\", or leonardo's smoke. vasari wrote that the smile was \"so pleasing that it seems more divine than human, and it was considered a wondrous thing that it was as lively as the smile of the living original.\"[\u2021 9] other characteristics of the painting are the unadorned dress, in which the eyes and hands have no competition from other details; the dramatic landscape background, in which the world seems to be in a state of flux; the subdued colouring; and the extremely smooth nature of the painterly technique, employing oils laid on much like tempera, and blended on the surface so that the brushstrokes are indistinguishable.[118] vasari expressed that the painting's quality would make even \"the most confident master ... despair and lose heart.\"[\u2021 10] the perfect state of preservation and the fact that there is no sign of repair or overpainting is rare in a panel painting of this date.[119] fedoskino miniature (russian: федоскинская миниатюра) is a traditional russian lacquer miniature painting on papier-mache, named after its original center fedoskino (федоскино), an old village near moscow widely known from the late 18th century. the contemporary fedoskino painting preserves the typical features of russian folk art. the use of oil paint, typically applied in many layers, is a distinctive feature of a fedoskino miniature, as well as the use of mother-of-pearl, pure gold or silver leaf under segments of the background to create the effect of a shimmering glow or silvery sparkle. many boxes are painted inside and outside in imitation tortoiseshell, birch bark, mahogany or tartan. the heyday of fedoskino miniature fell in the second half of the 19th century, and the works of that time are known as 'lukutins', named after the merchants lukutins, who owned the fedoskino factory at that time. petr lutukin inherited the factory in 1824 and it remained in the families ownership until 1904. after a brief interlude in the hands of former lutukin workers ('the fedoskino artel of former lutukin factory workers') the factory effectively ceased trading until after the revolution, when in 1923, fedoskino wares were awarded a diploma for 'superb artistic skill' at the all union exhibition of agricultural, industrial and cultural products; which was held in moscow in that year. some of the factory craftsmen had artistic education, and many of them had come from icon-painting studios. in 1931 the opening of a vocational school of miniature painting at fedoskino ensured the perpetuation of the art form, which allowed the continued development through the following years. stylistically the fedoskino factory is distinct from the other schools of miniature lacquer painting: notably those of palekh, mstera and kholui. [1] the popular motifs used in fedoskino miniature are all sorts of tea-drinking with samovar, troikas (carriage-and-three), and scenes from russian peasant life."},"estimateMax":800,"lotNumber":"16","title":{"en":"mona lisa or la gioconda, by leonardo da vinci, hand-painted miniature copy, fedoskino."},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19581/view","tags":["usdecor_general","usdecor","usdecor_all"],"directSalePrice":160,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:49.124Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$400 -

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":5000,"lotNumber":"27","title":{"en":"french impressionism antique bronze playing clown"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19613/view","tags":["usart_sculpture","usart","usart_all"],"directSalePrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:34.157Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$2,000 -

one of the most important materials in the stone age, used by people everywhere around the world. this raises at least one obvious question: why? what makes flint so special? flint is a unique kind of rock. like other forms of quartz, it's very hard and very durable. that's useful. after all, for all the effort it would take a nomadic people to create their tools, you don't want to waste resources or time. so, why not just use quartz? as a microcrystalline variety of quartz, flint has a unique molecular structure. there's a lot of science that we don't really need to discuss here, but what matters is that when you strike flint in just the right way, it breaks into uniform flakes with a very sharp edge. this is what made flint so valuable to ancient people. it was hard enough to be used time and again, but was also workable. they knew that if they took a large piece of flint and hit it with another rock or bone, it would break in predictable and controllable ways. other kinds of rock would just shatter or splinter, making them impossible to craft into a useable tool. flint is one of the best stones there is for creating a reliable tool, particularly if you need one with a sharp edge, and ancient people around the world discovered that. https://study.com/academy/lesson/stone-age-flint-tools.html flint is a sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz,[1][2] categorized as the variety of chert that occurs in chalk or marly limestone. flint was widely used historically to make stone tools and start fires. it occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in sedimentary rocks, such as chalks and limestones.[3][4] inside the nodule, flint is usually dark grey, black, green, white or brown in colour, and often has a glassy or waxy appearance. a thin layer on the outside of the nodules is usually different in colour, typically white and rough in texture. the nodules can often be found along streams and beaches. flint breaks and chips into sharp-edged pieces, making it useful for knife blades and other cutting tools. the use of flint to make stone tools dates back millions of years, and flint's extreme durability has made it possible to accurately date its use over this time. flint is one of the primary materials used to define the stone age. during the stone age, access to flint was so important for survival that people would travel or trade to obtain flint. flint ridge in ohio was an important source of flint and native americans extracted the flint from hundreds of quarries along the ridge. this \"ohio flint\" was traded across the

minimalist form. shown seated, the ancient figure presents a round head with bulging eyes and an open mouth. the body features clearly articulated limbs, as well as incised fingers and toes. stone votive idols like this one are known in a variety of fascinating forms throughout the pre-literate ancient world. people in the past, as today, had a clear desire to portray human forms and did not feel constrained by naturalism. there are some repeated motifs, such as emphasized arms, as seen here, which researchers have interpreted to mean an act of supplication (communicating with a deity) and wide eyes - also on this figure - are interpreted the figure's attentiveness to the god. thought to represent worshippers, these petite figures would have served as household objects for altars, and many have been found in ancient tombs. size: 0.9\" w x 2.6\" h (2.3 cm x 6.6 cm) provenance: east coast collection, new york gallery, new york city, new york, usa, acquired before 2010 condition report: some light surface wear, commensurate with age. otherwise, intact and very nice with liberal remaining detail. research of the nature of the stone: there appears to be some traces of old tools around the outside of the arms and legs, as well as on the neck. as for the type of stone, that\u2019s a bit difficult to determine. we hit it with the xrf gun (x ray fluorescent spectrometer) and got the following composition: 66% light elements (elements with an atomic number less than 11), 17.96% calcium, 6.7% magnesium, 5.51% silicon, and 2.14% aluminum (the remainder were parts per million of iron and other elements). the gem tester, which tests how quickly heat travels through the stone tested this between the levels of chrysoprase, emerald, nephrite and quartz, amethyst, citrine. based on this, i think we\u2019re safe saying it\u2019s a type of igneous rock and possibly can be called porphyry(?) a list of minerals containing these elements can be found here:

many rocks and minerals eliminating and choosing the right one by location, appearance, etc. we may be able to narrow it down."},"estimateMax":30000,"lotNumber":"45A","title":{"en":"neolithic ancient

scenes, similar scenes are unknown at this culture. whereas mesopotamian, sumerian, or semitic cosmogony separates reality from a mysterious world inhabited by supernatural transcendent powers whose favor must be gained, iranian cosmogony is sober and differently oriented. two opposing principles arise from the middle eastern imagery: one is negative, with the scorpion and the snake, symbols of suffering and death; the other is positive, with the cheetah and the eagle engaged on the side of man against the reptile."},"estimateMax":16000,"lotNumber":"47","title":{"en":"middle eastern carved

theotokos or iverskaya in russian,[1] is an eastern orthodox icon of the virgin mary in the georgian iviron monastery on mount athos in greece, where it is believed to have been since the year 999.[2] according to the sacred tradition of the eastern orthodox church it was painted by luke the evangelist.[3] the icon is referred to as \"wonderworking\" meaning that numerous miracles have been attributed to the intercession of the theotokos (mother of god) by persons praying before it. the synaxis (feast day) for this icon is on february 12,[4] as well as on bright tuesday,[2] and also on october 13 for the translation to moscow of the iveron icon.[5] 17th-century russian version: iverskaya. the icon belongs to a family of images of the theotokos known as hodegetria (greek: όδηγήτρια, \"she who leads the way\") after the prototype from constantinople. in these icons, the christ child sits on his mother's left arm and she is depicted pointing to christ with her right hand. another famous icon based upon hodegetria is our lady of częstochowa. a unique characteristic of this icon is what appears to be a scar on the virgin mary's right cheek or her chin. a number of different traditions exist to explain this, but the one most commonly held by orthodox christians is that the icon was stabbed by a soldier in nicaea during the period of byzantine iconoclasm under the emperor theophilus (829\u2013842). according to tradition, when the icon was stabbed, blood miraculously flowed out of the wound. the original in iveron is encased in a chased riza of silver and gold covering almost all the figures except the faces, as is common with the most venerated icons. 2) peter carl fabergé, also known as karl gustavovich fabergé (russian: карл гу́ставович фаберже́, karl gustavovich faberzhe; 30 may 1846 \u2013 24 september 1920), was a russian jeweller best known for the famous fabergé eggs made in the style of genuine easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. he was one of the sons of the founder of the famous jewelry legacy house of fabergé."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"58","title":{"en":"faberge enameled silver

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

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":3000,"lotNumber":"61A","title":{"en":"silver spoon- champlevé enamel 84 silver mark \"bc\", imperial russia,

платоном, 1765 года. м., в синодальной типографии, посвящение «... цесаревичу ... павлу петровичу ...». владыка платон (п.г.левшин; 1737-1812) - 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":12000,"lotNumber":"62P","title":{"en":"personal book of russian emperor pavel i - orthodox teaching, or abbreviated christian theology,

soon after the conclusion of peace, important changes were made in legislation concerning industry and commerce, and the new freedom thus afforded produced a large number of limited liability companies. plans were formed for building a great network of railways, partly for the purpose of developing the natural resources of the country, and partly for the purpose of increasing its power for defense and attack. the existence of serfdom was tackled boldly, taking advantage of a petition presented by the polish landed proprietors of the lithuanian provinces and, hoping that their relations with the serfs might be regulated in a more satisfactory way (meaning in a way more satisfactory for the proprietors), he authorized the formation of committees \"for ameliorating the condition of the peasants,\" and laid down the principles on which the amelioration was to be effected. this step was followed by one still more significant.[citation needed] without consulting his ordinary advisers, alexander ordered the minister of the interior to send a circular to the provincial governors of european russia (serfdom was rare in other parts), containing a copy of the instructions forwarded to the governor-general of lithuania, praising the supposed generous, patriotic intentions of the lithuanian landed proprietors, and suggesting that perhaps the landed proprietors of other provinces might express a similar desire. the hint was taken: in all provinces where serfdom existed, emancipation committees were formed. the emancipation was not merely a humanitarian question capable of being solved instantaneously by imperial ukase. it contained very complicated problems, deeply affecting the economic, social and political future of the nation. alexander had to choose between the different measures recommended to him and decide if the serfs would become agricultural laborers dependent economically and administratively on the landlords or if the serfs would be transformed into a class of independent communal proprietors. the emperor gave his support to the latter project, and the russian peasantry became one of the last groups of peasants in europe to shake off serfdom. the architects of the emancipation manifesto were alexander's brother konstantin, yakov rostovtsev, and nikolay milyutin. on 3 march 1861, 6 years after his accession, the emancipation law was signed and

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 in 1558 auction results 1) https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2007/russian-art-n08302/lot.163.html sold for $7,200. catalogue note: for comparable works by samuel wehl, see, igor sychev, russian bronze, trefoil, moscow, 2003, p. 169 2) https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/clocks/mantel-clocks/jumbo-collection-antique-french-ormolu-mantel-clock/id-f_23309342/ $60,000. the total price of bronze mantel clock comprised the work of the different people involved in its manufacturing process: \u2022 about 10% for the model design. \u2022 casting, 20%. \u2022 chiseling, 30%. \u2022 gilding, 30%. \u2022 the movement only represented between 5 and 10%. this meant that about 90% of the production costs were the sculpture and the case making."},"estimateMax":80000,"lotNumber":"67","title":{"en":"antique russian bronze mantel clock by samuel wehl, circa 1840, with roxolana (hurrem sultan) \u2013 lovely wife of suleiman the great"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19719/view","tags":["usdecor_clocks","usdecor","usdecor_all"],"directSalePrice":1200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:29:49.267Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$40,000 - $80,000","currency":"USD","id":19719,"estimateMin":40000},{"startPrice":300,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19720/006/006.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"authentic st. augustine canon ball, 500 years old, american history;

(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. condition: excellent;

(1987\u00961954), the museum acquired a substantial amount of asian art from the collection of h. medill sarkisian (1909\u00961993), an honorary curator of asian art appointed by the museum director dr. otto karl bach (1909\u00961990), enabling the opening of the oriental museum in 1956, a separate branch of the museum located on 14th avenue where the denver art museum stands now. \u0095 in 1974, may wilfley made a major gift of about 80 asian art objects to the dam in memory of her parents, a.r. wilfley and addie m. wilfley, significantly enhancing the museum\u0092s holdings of chinese imperial porcelains. \u0095 from 1974 to 1982, a series of gifts from mr. and mrs. george a. argabrite enriched the museum\u0092s holdings of japanese art, particularly lacquers. \u0095 since 1976, a series of gifts from bj averitt has established and enriched the museum\u0092s collections of islamic art. she also established bj averitt islamic fund to support the acquisition of islamic art. \u0095 in 1977, more than 600 chinese qing dynasty (1636\u00961911) court robes and accessories from the charlotte hill grant collection were donated to the dam by her children james p. grant and betty grant austin. this is one of the largest and finest holdings of the chinese court textile in american museums. \u0095 in 1980, a series of gifts from mr. and mrs. harold p. ullman increased the museum\u0092s sculpture collections from india, nepal, and indonesia. the ullman collection was further enriched by their children later. \u0095 in 1982, a gift from john and celeste fleming significantly enriched the museum\u0092s collection of japanese screens. \u0095 since 1982, more than 1,000 bamboo art works have been donated by mr. and mrs. walter e. lutz and their children and grandchildren, making it the largest asian bamboo art collection in american museums. this collection continues to grow. \u0095 in 1992, a sizeable gift from mr. and mrs. alfred h. platt dramatically enriched the museum korean art collections. \u0095 in 1993, the museum\u0092s collection of chinese jades was significantly enriched by the donations from sam and freda davies. the sam and freda davies trust has also provided funds to acquire asian art since 1993. \u0095 since 2001, a series of gifts and promised gifts from kent and vicki logan has made the dam one of the leading american museums in collecting and featuring contemporary asian art, particularly chinese contemporary art. over the past century, many distinguished collectors also generously loaned their collections to the dam, allowing the museum to develop many important exhibitions and programs. the most notable loans include the sze hong collection, the pan-asian collection, and the kimiko and john powers collection. some of these collections were eventually donated to or acquired by the museum. the growth of the asian art collection at the dam was made possible by the incredible generous gifts from more than 300 donors in united states, asia, europe, and south america. to celebrate this extraordinary 100-years journey, it is only appropriate to honor all of these dedicated supporters. it is their generosity and love of asian arts that has brought denver much closer to asia."},"estimateMax":12000,"lotNumber":"88","title":{"en":"early islamic umayyad caliphate (661\u2013750 ad), or persian sassanian empire (224-651 ad) ceramic glazed vase, from the collection of medill sarkisian (1909-1993)"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19731/view","tags":["usasian_middleeastern","usasian","usasian_all"],"directSalePrice":1200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:30:07.237Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$5,000 - $12,000","currency":"USD","id":19731,"estimateMin":5000},{"startPrice":500,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/008/008.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19733/009/009.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"early islamic, umayyad caliphate (661\u2013750 ad), antique bronze eagle #1 genuine antique bronze statue, amazing open-work technique. not attracted to the magnet. length: 163 mm = 16.3 cm;

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\u20134th 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."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"103B","title":{"en":"bronze age mirror with griffin/gryphon, western asiatic, 550 bc -330 bc"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19749/view","tags":["usasian_middleeastern","usasian","usasian_all"],"directSalePrice":800,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:30:14.615Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$10,000 - $20,000","currency":"USD","id":19749,"estimateMin":10000},{"startPrice":500,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19750/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19750/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19750/003/003.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"antique islamic huge engraved copper kettle, hittites, mesopotamia? near east? minor asia? origin: persia? mesopotamia, near east? minor asia? provenance: private collection, florida, usa;

condition: overall fine used condition with crystallization, small chip at the rim the wari (spanish: huari) were a middle horizon civilization that flourished in the south-central andes and coastal area of modern-day peru, from about ad 500 to 1000.[1] (the wari culture is not to be confused with the modern ethnic group and language known as wari', with which it has no known link.) wari, as the former capital city was called, is located 11 km (6.8 mi) north-east of the modern city of ayacucho, peru. this city was the center of a civilization that covered much of the highlands and coast of modern peru. the best-preserved remnants, beside the wari ruins, are the recently discovered northern wari ruins near the city of chiclayo, and cerro baul in moquegua. also well-known are the wari ruins of pikillaqta (\"flea town\"), a short distance south-east of cuzco en route to lake titicaca. early on, the wari expanded their territory to include the ancient oracle center of pachacamac, though it seems to have remained largely autonomous. later the wari became dominant in much of the territory of the earlier moche and later chimu cultures. the reason for this expansion has been debated; it is believed to have been driven by religious conversion, military conquest, or the spread of agricultural knowledge (specifically terrace agriculture). during this expansion, the wari state established architecturally distinctive administrative centers in many of its provinces. these centres are clearly different from the architecture of tiwanaku, which is believed to have been a more federalized state by some scholars (such as john w. janusek). using these administrative centers, the wari greatly influenced the surrounding countryside. they created new fields with terraced field technology and invested in construction of a major road network. several centuries later, when the inca began to expand their empire, they drew on both of these innovations. little is known about the details of the wari administrative structure, as they did not appear to use a form of written record. but, the emphasis on homogeneous administrative architecture and evidence for significant social stratification suggests a complex socio-political hierarchy. the discovery in early 2013 of an undisturbed royal tomb, el castillo de huarmey, offers new insight into the social and political influence of the wari during this period. the variety and extent of the burial items accompanying the three royal women indicates a culture with significant material wealth and the power to dominate a significant part of northern costal peru for many decades.[2] as a result of centuries of drought, the wari culture began to deteriorate around 800 a.d. archeologists have determined that the city of wari was dramatically depopulated by 1000 a.d., although it continued to be occupied by a small number of descendant groups. buildings in wari and in other government centers had doorways that were deliberately blocked up, as if the wari intended to return, someday when the rains returned.[3] but by the time this happened, the wari had faded from history. in the meantime, the dwindling residents of the wari cities ceased all major construction. archaeological evidence shows significant levels of inter-personal violence, suggesting that warfare and raiding increased amongst rival groups upon the collapse of the wari state structure (ta tung 2008). with the collapse of the wari, the late intermediate period is said to begin. references 1. jump up ^ susan e. bergh (2012). wari: lords of the ancient andes. thames & hudson. isbn 978-0-500-51656-0. retrieved 31 august 2013. 2. jump up ^ \"first unlooted royal tomb of its kind unearthed in peru\". retrieved 2013-06-0. 3. jump up ^ wright, kenneth r.;

listen); modern nahuatl pronunciation (help·info)) is an ancient mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the valley of mexico, which is located in the state of mexico, 40 kilometers (25 mi) northeast of modern-day mexico city. teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-columbian americas. at its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the first millennium (1 ad to 500 ad), teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-columbian americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more,[2][3] making it at least the sixth-largest city in the world during its epoch.[4] after the collapse of teotihuacan, central mexico was dominated by the toltecs of tula until about 1150 ad. the city covered eight square miles; 80 to 90 percent of the total population of the valley resided in teotihuacan. apart from the pyramids, teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the avenue of the dead, and its vibrant, well-preserved murals. additionally, teotihuacan exported fine obsidian tools that are found throughout mesoamerica. the city is thought to have been established around 100 bc, with major monuments continuously under construction until about 250 ad.[2] the city may have lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th centuries ad, but its major monuments were sacked and systematically burned around 550 ad. teotihuacan began as a religious center in the mexican highlands around the first century ad. it became the largest and most populated center in the pre-columbian americas. teotihuacan was home to multi-floor apartment compounds built to accommodate the large population.[2] the term teotihuacan (or teotihuacano) is also used for the whole civilization and cultural complex associated with the site. although it is a subject of debate whether teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in veracruz and the maya region. the later aztecs saw these magnificent ruins and claimed a common ancestry with the teotihuacanos, modifying and adopting aspects of their culture. the ethnicity of the inhabitants of teotihuacan is the subject of debate. possible candidates are the nahua, otomi, or totonac ethnic groups. scholars have suggested that teotihuacan was a multi-ethnic state since they find cultural aspects connected to the maya as well as oto-pamean people."},"estimateMax":600,"lotNumber":"119A","title":{"en":"pre-columbian five votive human body terracotta fragments, teotihuacan culture,

post-classic period of mesoamerican chronology (ca 800-1000 ce). the later aztec culture saw the toltecs as their intellectual and cultural predecessors and described toltec culture emanating from tlln ['tolan] (nahuatl for tula) as the epitome of civilization; indeed in the nahuatl language the word \"tltcatl\" [tol'tekat] (singular) or \"tltcah\" [tol'teka] (plural) came to take on the meaning \"artisan\". the aztec oral and pictographic tradition also described the history of the toltec empire, giving lists of rulers and their exploits. among modern scholars it is a matter of debate whether the aztec narratives of toltec history should be given credence as descriptions of actual historical events. while all scholars acknowledge that there is a large mythological part of the narrative, some maintain that by using a critical comparative method some level of historicity can be salvaged from the sources. others maintain that continued analysis of the narratives as sources of actual history is futile and hinders access to actual knowledge of the culture of tula, hidalgo. other controversies relating to the toltecs include how best to understand the reasons

parts of spain consisting of wooden or ivory statues that depict various saints, angels, or marian titles or one of the personages of the holy trinity. a santero refers to a wood-carver who makes the image, but has also come to be known as someone who collects santo images either as a religious devotion, or artistic hobby, or both. some santo images which have gained greater public devotion among the faithful have also merited papal approval through canonical coronations. history icons and other religious images were crucial for the conversions of indigenous peoples to roman catholic church, which was itself an integral part of the spanish colonization of the americas. however, long distances, inefficient methods of transportation, and high demand for such artworks limited the ability of ecclesiastical authorities to supply parish churches, especially those in remote outposts, with works of religious art from the kingdom of spain. the practice of creating santo objects began in spain, where mannequin style religious images were commonly vested in ornate religious clothing, often expensive and funded by religious devotees. an early known example is the 1555 statue of infant jesus of prague, already vested during the time of saint teresa of avila. customarily, jewels are various accessories were also added onto the image, a tradition still carried today. santo images are also common throughout latin america and the caribbean, while the tradition of santo carving was preserved as a folk art in northern new mexico, whose isolated villages remain secluded to this day. of particular note is the village of cordova which has produced several well-known santeros (carvers of santos). a major one was george lópez, who was awarded the national heritage fellowship by the national endowment for the arts in 1982. santo statues are commonly known as revultos or informally as bultos. they are usually carved from cottonwood root, pine or aspen. a santero carves a bulto with a knife and then covers it with gesso, a mixture of native gypsum and glue, to prepare it for painting. shipping in usa by craters and freighters \u0096 (813-889-9008):

nirvana.[1][2] other buddhist traditions have used the term for people far advanced along the path of enlightenment, but who may not have reached full buddhahood.[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

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

bodhidharma, a legendary figure.[note 2] the school heavily utilized the principles found in the lakvatra stra, a stra utilizing the teachings of yogcra and those of tathgatagarbha, and which teaches the one vehicle (skt. ekayna) to buddhahood. in the early years, the teachings of chn were therefore referred to as the \"\"one vehicle school.\"\"[33] the earliest masters of the chn school were called \"\"lakvatra masters\", for their mastery of practice according to the principles of the lakvatra stra.the principle teachings of chn were later often known for the use of so-called encounter stories and koans, and the teaching methods used in them. nan huai-chin identifies the lakvatra stra and the diamond stra (vajracchedik prajpramit stra) as the principle texts of the chn school, and summarizes the principles succinctly:the zen teaching was a separate transmission outside the scriptural teachings that did not posit any written texts as sacred. zen pointed directly to the human mind to enable people to see their real nature and become buddhas.[34]bodhisattvain buddhism, a bodhisattva (sanskrit: bodhisattva; pali: bodhisatta) is an enlightenment (bodhi) being (sattva). traditionally, a bodhisattva is anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.[1] according to tibetan buddhism, a bodhisattva is one of the four sublime states a human can achieve in life (the others being an arhat, buddha, or pratyekabuddha).the bodhisattva is a popular subject in buddhist art. usage of the term bodhisattva has evolved over time. in early indian buddhism, for example, the term bodhisattva was primarily used to refer specifically to the buddha in his former lives.[3][4] the jatakas, which are the stories of his lives, depict the various attempts of the bodhisattva to embrace qualities like self-sacrifice and morality. \n \n condition used, scratches all

made their first appearance between 2000 and 1000 bc, in ancient india: a few hundred thousand were supposedly brought back by tibetan soldiers from middle asia during a raid. the malicious effect of the \u201cevil eye\u201d was taken very seriously by these people. dzi were considered to counteract the evil eye. technology: the artisans who made the dzi created amulets with \u201ceyes\u201d on them as a \u201cfight fire with fire\u201d form of protection. artisans used agate as the base stone, and then embellished the beads lines and shapes using ancient methods that remain mysterious. treatments may have included darkening with plant sugars and heat, bleaching and white line etching with natron, and protecting certain areas with grease, clay, wax or a similar substance. a hole was drilled before the bead was decorated as drilling caused most breakage during the production process, and holes were also useful for stringing and dipping numerous beads as a step in coloration. the earliest holes were conical and done with solid drill bits drilling from both ends and, hopefully, meeting near the center of the bead. very small drill tips of chipped flint were used without abrasives and numerous other materials, regardless of hardness, when used with abrasives. neolithic era beads were also drilled with hollow, tubular abrasion 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":20000,"lotNumber":"167","title":{"en":"dragon skin 18 eyed black agate dzi bead, tibet, circa 200 bc-200

1767, centered around the city of ayutthaya, in siam, or present-day thailand. european travelers in the early 16th century called ayutthaya one of the three great powers of asia (alongside vijayanagar and china).[1] the ayutthaya kingdom is considered to be the precursor of modern thailand, and its developments are an important part of the history of thailand.[1] karana mudra: the karana gesture has its index finger and little finger pointing straight upwards, while the other fingers fold into the palm. the karana buddha can be depicted both seated and standing. the meaning of this gesture is to ward off evil and to get rid of demons and negative energy. a mudra is a symbolic hand gesture and finger posture that acts as a non-verbal mode of communication and self-expression. the mudra helps to evoke symbolic meanings of the specific mudra used to the mind. we can observe these mudras used in various forms of traditional and folk dances, yoga and meditation, sculptures, etc. besides, buddhist arts also depict the mudra as they are regarded as the general guidelines of the spiritual gestures portrayed and taught by the buddha. additionally,

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

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 buddha himself. references: 1) http://www.exoticjades.com/?page_id=2980 2) http://www.palaceantique.com/browse.aspx?id=614 3) http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/fulltext/jr-bh/bh117490.htm condition: some natural

of the jade between upper and lower parts of the body, which may took centuries for the reaction between water and minerals to create this. possible explanation is in the reaction between the acidic water coming from the top soil and alkaline water coming from the rock. provenance: from private collection in florida, usa; purchased in 1980's -1990's. authenticity report: genuine, - analyzed and

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

ostrich egg shell, ivory coast, africa, 1981 height: 145 mm = 14.5 cm weight: 324.4 g; condition: there is a hole, which was used to extract the yolk and white. there are some herbs inside. the egg shell is strong, there are no cracks. provenance: brought from ivory coast in 1981. biology the female common ostrich lays her fertilized eggs in a single communal nest, a simple pit, 30 to 60 cm (12\u201324 in) deep and 3 m (9.8 ft) wide,[1] scraped in the ground by the male. the dominant female lays her eggs first, and when it is time to cover them for incubation she discards extra eggs from the weaker females, leaving about 20 in most cases.[2] a female common ostrich can distinguish her own eggs from the others in a communal nest.[3] ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs,[4] though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird \u2014 on average they are 15 cm (5.9 in) long, 13 cm (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken's egg and only 1 to 4% the size of the female.[5] they are glossy cream-colored, with thick shells marked by small pits.[6] the eggs are incubated by the females by day and by the males by night. this uses the coloration of the two sexes to escape detection of the nest, as the drab female blends in with the sand, while the black male is nearly undetectable in the night.[6] the incubation period is 35 to 45 days, which is rather short compared to other ratites. this is believed to be the case due to the high rate of predation.[5] typically, the male defends the hatchlings and teaches them to feed, although males and females cooperate in rearing chicks. fewer than 10% of nests survive the 9 week period of laying and incubation, and of the surviving chicks, only 15% of those survive to 1 year of age.[7] a possible origin for the myth that ostriches bury their heads in sand to avoid danger lies with the fact that ostriches keep their eggs in holes in the sand instead of nests, and must rotate them using their beaks during incubation; digging the hole, placing the eggs, and rotating them might each be mistaken for an attempt to bury their heads in the sand.[8]"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"234C","title":{"en":"genuine ostrich egg shell, ivory coast, africa,

rickshaw boy or camel xiangzi, (1936-1937) by lao she (1899-1966), printed in 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":"262","title":{"en":"the rickshaw boy or camel xiangzi, (1936-1937) by lao she

history: 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\u20131126), jin dynasty (1115\u20131234) and yuan dynasty (1271\u20131368), 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":50000,"lotNumber":"296A","title":{"en":"鈞窯 antique chinese junyao vase, northern song/yuan dynasty, 1100-1300 ad"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/19879/view","tags":["usasian_chinese","usasian","usasian_all"],"directSalePrice":300,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:30:24.428Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$10,000 - $50,000","currency":"USD","id":19879,"estimateMin":10000},{"startPrice":200,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/eternitygallery/cloned-images/19880/007/007.jpg"],"available":false,"description":{"en":"chinese porcelain vase, jingdezhen ware, jiang qing mark on the bottom(1796-1820);

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 buddhahood.[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":4000,"lotNumber":"324","title":{"en":"chinese antique carved bamboo dragon boat with 18 archats, awaiting return of

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

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:

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

910 g = 2 lb. 0.1 oz. size: 5 x 4 x 2.5 inches = 12.0 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm ammonites[1] were marine cephalopod molluscs of the subclass ammonoidea. their widely-known fossils show a ribbed spiral-form shell, in the end compartment of which lived the tentacled animal. these creatures lived in the seas from at least 400 to 65 million years ago. they became extinct at the k/t extinction event. their nearest living relatives are the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. nine orders are recognized in the ammonoidea: five in the palaeozoic and four in the mesozoic. evolution ammonites first appeared in the early devonian period. they evolved from a small, straight shelled bactridian, which was an early nautiloid. they quickly evolved into a variety of shapes and sizes, including some shaped like hairpins. during their evolution the ammonites faced no fewer than four catastrophic events that would eventually lead to their extinction. the first event occurred in the upper devonian, and the second at the end of the permian (250 million years ago), when only two lines survived the p/tr extinction event. the surviving species radiated and flourished throughout the triassic perod. at the end of this period (206 million years ago) they faced near extinction again, when only one genus survived. this event marked the end of the triassic and the beginning of the jurassic, during which time the number of ammonite species grew once more. the final catastrophe occurred at the end of the cretaceous period when all species were annihilated and the ammonites became extinct. the young ammonites lived in the plankton, near the sea surface. they ate mostly small fry as they were growing. this made them especially vulnerable to any event which upset the plankton zone. life ammonites began life as tiny planktonic creatures less than 1mm in diameter. in their infancy they would have been vulnerable to attack from other predators, including mosasaurs and fish. however, their shell gave their soft parts some protection. the existence of sexual dimorphism, with larger females and smaller males, has been much discussed.[2]p244 the matter is still open, but at least in some species deposits are found with two sizes and no intermediates. as the shell grew, the back compartments were sealed with a semi-permeable membrane. a single tube, the siphuncle, passed through the centre of each septum and connected the chambers the animal could add or withdraw gas as it needed for buoyancy. on the inside of the shell, the compartments are marked by elaborate sutures. these can be seen easily on those fossils which are internal moulds, as most are.[2]p241 ammonites were active predators, and they themselves were often eaten by fish and marine reptiles. the fossils are almost always found with the outer compartment broken off, probably as a result of just such an attack. ammonites swam by jet propulsion, as do most other cepalopods. water would have come into the mantle cavity, passed over the gills, and was squirted out. nautilus also has an escape mechanism, where a contraction of the branchial (gill) chamber causes the animal to jump out of the way of a predator.[2]p232 it would be reasonable to suppose that ammonites had a similar mechanism. references 1. jump up ↑ meaning 'ram-horned', from the egyptian god amun. 2. ↑ jump up to: 2.0 2.1 2.2

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

muttonshells in parts of australia, ormer in the uk, perlemoen in south africa, and paua in new zealand.[5] abalones are marine snails. their taxonomy puts them in the family haliotidae, which contains only one genus, haliotis, which once contained six subgenera. these subgenera have become alternate representations of haliotis.[4] the number of species recognized worldwide ranges between 30[6] and 130[7] with over 230 species-level taxa described. the most comprehensive treatment of the family considers 56 species valid, with 18 additional subspecies.[8] the shells of abalones have a low, open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell's outer edge. the thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre (mother-of-pearl), 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 mother-of-pearl. the flesh of abalones is widely considered to be a desirable food, and is consumed raw or cooked by a variety of cultures."},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"468F","title":{"en":"huge

caribbean, the florida keys, the bahamas, and bermuda. \u2013 the conch\u2019s main predators include loggerhead turtles, nurse sharks, other snail species, blue crabs, eagle rays, spiny lobsters, 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 gigas."},"estimateMax":120,"lotNumber":"470A","title":{"en":"pink conch shell from bahamas islands, 25 cm, 1220

the coin as a work of art. the tenth and last chapter (one page really) speaks to the hobby's former problem of it being a \"robinson crusoe\" hobby, the loneliness that used to be felt until the advent of the internet. this book is full of personality and avoids the snares of some other introductory works like lengthy quotes printed in dead languages, eye reddening fine print and a lot of obtuse verbosity in general. this book could be just as easily digested by a precocious 6th grader as it could by a seasoned classical coin lover steeped in years and experience. my only wish is that when it goes into a second edition that it include some topical index in the rear for speedy reference that more traditional reference works have. otherwise this book is extremely well executed and it will be a long time before this book is replaced by a worthy successor. mr. sayles has done well by the hobby with this book. isbn 0-87341-442-x product details \u2022 hardcover: 197 pages \u2022 publisher: krause pubns inc; 2nd edition (june 1996) \u2022 language: english \u2022 isbn-10: 087341442x \u2022 isbn-13: 978-0873414425 \u2022 product dimensions: 1 x 6.8 x 9.8 inches \u2022 shipping weight: 1.2 pounds \u2022 average customer review: 4.9 out of 5 stars see all reviews (23 customer reviews) \u2022 amazon best sellers rank: #1,913,376 in books (see top 100 in books) #918 in books > crafts, hobbies & home > antiques & collectibles > coins & medals biography wayne gerald sayles was born on march 8, 1943 at waukesha, wisconsin. after retiring from the usaf in 1982, wayne earned a masters degree in art history at the university of wisconsin. in 1987 he founded the celator -- a monthly journal about ancient coins (still the premier periodical in its field today). he co-authored turkoman figural bronze coins and their iconography (2 vols.) with william f. spengler; wrote the six volume series ancient coin collecting (3 are in expanded 2nd ed.); the monograph classical deception; and the exhibition catalogue of the ned h. and gloria a. griner greek and roman coin collection at ball state university. he wrote the \"coin collecting\" article for encyclopaedia britannica and most recently the biography of william edward cramsie titled first to fall. wayne has also published several titles by other authors under his own banner of \"clio's cabinet\". he is a life fellow of the american numismatic society; fellow of the royal numismatic society (london, england); life member of the hellenic numismatic society (athens, greece); life member of the american israel numismatic society; member of the american numismatic association and the numismatic literary guild, and an honorary member of several coin clubs in various states. he is the founder and executive director of the ancient coin collectors guild and was honored by that organization's board of directors in 2006 with a special award for \"exceptional contributions to ancient numismatics.\" wayne has lectured extensively at national conventions, symposia, seminars and club meetings, written more than 200 articles about ancient coinage, and has been honored with numerous numismatic literary guild awards. he has on six occasions presented testimony before the u.s. state department's cultural property advisory committee in washington, dc. he continues to write a monthly column in the celator and maintains two personal blogs on the internet. he is a recipient of the prestigious \"numismatic ambassador\" award from krause publications, and was selected by kp in 2007 as one of the 55 \"most intriguing people in numismatics\". he is a recipient of the american numismatic association president's award and glenn smedley memorial award. he has been a biographee in marquis, who's who in america and in who's who in the world, since 2006."},"estimateMax":100,"lotNumber":"479","title":{"en":"ancient coin collecting, by wayne g. sayles, signed by the author, 1996"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/20011/view","tags":["uscollectibles_booksandpaper","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":50,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:30:27.380Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$50 -

faustina became roman empress and the senate accorded her the title of augusta. as empress, faustina was well respected and was renowned for her beauty and wisdom. the augustan history criticized her as having \"excessive frankness\" and \"levity\". throughout her life, as a private citizen and as empress, faustina was involved in assisting charities for the poor and sponsoring and assisting in the education of roman children, particularly girls. she can be viewed as one of the most moral, stable and respected empresses in the history of the roman empire. when faustina died, antoninus was in complete mourning for faustina. legacy antoninus did the following in memory of his wife: \u0095 deified her as a goddess (her apotheosis was portrayed on an honorary column) \u0095 had the temple of faustina built in the roman forum, with priestesses in the temple. \u0095 had various coins with her portrait struck in her honor. these coins were inscribed diva favstina (\"divine faustina\") and

one of the five good emperors in the nerva\u2013antonine dynasty.[4] born into a senatorial family, antoninus held various offices during the reign of emperor hadrian, who adopted him as his son and successor shortly before his death. antoninus acquired the cognomen pius after his accession to the throne, either because he compelled the senate to deify his adoptive father,[5] or because he had saved senators sentenced to death by hadrian in his later years.[6] his reign is notable for the peaceful state of the empire, with no major revolts or military incursions during this time, and for his governing without ever leaving italy. a successful military campaign in southern scotland early in his reign resulted in the construction of the antonine wall. antoninus was an effective administrator, leaving his successors a large surplus in the treasury, expanding free access to drinking water throughout the empire, encouraging legal conformity, and facilitating the enfranchisement

the columbus expedition were the caravel-type pinta and the carrack-type santa maría. niña was by far columbus's favorite. she was originally lateen sail rigged caravela latina, but she was re-rigged as caravela redonda at las palmas, in the canary islands, with square sails for better ocean performance.[2] there is no authentic documentation on the specifics of niña's design, although michele de

decreed papal infallibility, but the council was cut short due to the loss of the papal states. pius ix defined the dogma of the immaculate conception of the blessed virgin mary, meaning that mary was conceived without original sin. pius ix also conferred the marian title of our mother of perpetual help, to a famous byzantine icon from crete entrusted to the redemptorists. he was also the last pope to rule as the sovereign of the papal states, which fell completely to italian nationalist armies in 1870 and were incorporated into the kingdom of italy. after this, he was referred to - chiefly by himself - as the \"prisoner of the vatican\". after his death in 1878, his canonization process was opened on 11 february 1907 by pope pius x and it drew considerable controversy over the years. it

(formerly the most honourable military order of the bath)[1] is a british order of chivalry founded by george i on 18 may 1725.[2] the name derives from the elaborate mediaeval ceremony for creating a knight, which involved bathing (as a symbol of purification) as one of its elements. the knights so created were known as \"knights of the bath\".[3] george i \"erected the knights of the bath into a regular military order\".[4] he did not (as is commonly believed) revive the order of the bath,[5] since it had never previously existed as an order, in the sense of a body of knights who were governed by a set of statutes and whose numbers were replenished when vacancies occurred.[6][7] the order consists of the sovereign (currently queen elizabeth ii), the great master (currently the prince of wales),[8] and three classes of members:[9] \u0095 knight grand cross (gcb) or dame grand cross (gcb) \u0095 knight commander (kcb) or dame commander (dcb) \u0095 companion (cb) members belong to either the civil or the military division.[10] prior to 1815, the order had only a single class, knight companion (kb), which no longer exists.[11] recipients of the order are now usually senior military officers or senior civil servants.[12][13] commonwealth citizens not subjects of the queen and foreigners may be made honorary members.[14] the order of the bath is the fourth-most senior of the british orders of chivalry, after the most noble order of the garter, the most ancient and most noble order of the thistle, and the most illustrious order of st patrick (dormant).[15] the last of the aforementioned orders, which relates to ireland, still exists but has been in disuse since the formation, in december 1922, of the irish free state.[16]"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"502","title":{"en":"british bronze medal george, order of bath revived,

reigning until the defeat of the french army and his capture by prussia and its allies at the battle of sedan in 1870. napoleon iii was a popular monarch, who used plebiscites to guide his actions, oversaw the modernization of the french economy and worked to have the center of paris rebuilt following napoleon iii style guidelines. he expanded the french overseas empire and made the french merchant navy the second largest in the world, engaged in the crimean war, the second italian war of independence, the second franco-mexican war, as well as the disastrous franco-prussian war, in which he served alongside his soldiers during the fight, an uncommon action for a head of state in the modern era. napoleon iii commissioned a grand reconstruction of paris carried out by the man he appointed as prefect of the seine, baron georges-eugène haussmann, accompanied by an elaborate system of parks and gardens. he launched similar public works projects in all other major cities in france. he expanded and consolidated the railway system throughout the nation, as well as acted to modernize the banking system. napoleon iii promoted the building of the suez canal and established modern agriculture, which ended famines in france and made the country an agricultural exporter. he negotiated the 1860 cobden\u2013chevalier free trade agreement with britain and similar agreements with france's other european trading partners. social reforms included giving french workers the right to strike and the right to organize. the first female students were admitted at the sorbonne and educational opportunities for women were increased, as was the list of required subjects in public schools. in foreign policy, napoleon iii aimed to reassert french influence in europe and around the world. in europe, he allied with britain and defeated russia in the crimean war (1853\u20131856). his regime assisted italian unification by defeating the austrian empire in the franco-austrian war and later annexed savoy and nice through the treaty of turin as its deferred reward. at the same time, his forces defended the papal states against annexation by italy. he was also favourable towards the 1859 union of the danubian principalities, which resulted in the establishment of the united principalities of moldavia and wallachia. napoleon iii doubled the area of the french overseas empire with expansions in asia, the pacific and africa. on the other hand, the intervention in mexico, which aimed to create a second mexican empire under french protection, ended in total failure. from 1866, napoleon iii had to face the mounting power of prussia as its chancellor otto von bismarck sought german unification under prussian leadership. in july 1870, napoleon iii reluctantly declared war on prussia after pressure by the public. without allies and with inferior military forces, the french army was rapidly defeated as napoleon iii was captured at sedan. he was swiftly dethroned and the third republic was proclaimed in paris. he went into exile in england, where he died in 1873."},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"514","title":{"en":"napoleon iii - louis napoleon bonaparte, french

350 дней. в ходе осады союзники провели шесть массированных артиллерийских бомбардировок севастополя с суши и моря[1]. севастопольскую оборону возглавлял начальник штаба черноморского флота вице-адмирал в. а. корнилов, а после его гибели \u2014 командующий эскадрой вице-адмирал (с марта 1855 года \u2014 адмирал) п. с. нахимов. настоящим «гением» обороны севастополя стал военный инженер генерал э. и. тотлебен. после балаклавского и инкерманского сражений 1854 года борьба за город перешла в затяжную стадию. пережив зиму, к которой они были плохо подготовлены, союзники прорвались в азовское море. к маю 1855 года войска антироссийской коалиции на полуострове насчитывали 175 тысяч человек, русские войска \u2014 85 тысяч, в том числе 43 тысячи в районе севастополя[1]. в ночь на 28 августа (9 сентября) 1855 года противник овладел ключевой позицией \u2014 малаховым курганом, что предрешило исход севастопольской обороны. дальнейшая оборона города не имела смысла. князь горчаков за одну ночь перевёл свои войска на северную сторону. город был подожжён, пороховые погреба \u2014 взорваны, военные суда, стоявшие в бухте, \u2014 затоплены. союзники, однако, не решились преследовать российские войска, считая город заминированным, и только 30 августа (11 сентября) вступили в дымящиеся развалины севастополя. оборона севастополя продемонстрировала умелую организацию активной обороны, основанной на взаимодействии сухопутных войск и флота. характерными её особенностями стали непрерывные вылазки обороняющихся, ночные поиски, минная война, тесное огневое взаимодействие корабельной и крепостной артиллерии[1]."},"estimateMax":800,"lotNumber":"840D","title":{"en":"antique russian bronze medal 2, ef/au, 1853-56"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/eternitygallery/source/catalog/auction/34114/lot/20206/view","tags":["uscollectibles_militaria","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-09T12:30:48.609Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$400 -

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 - майор князь д.л. аргутинский - долгоруков, 6 полковников, 61 обер-офицер, 3 врача, полковой священник садиков, капельмейстер алексеев, оружейный мастер ильмар и делопроизводитель яроцкий - всего 75 человек. после этого князь дитрихштейн вышел в вестибюль, где были собраны 30 фельдфебелей и унтер-офицеров полка. им были вручены бронзовые медали того же рисунка. сразу после пожалования возникла мысль сделать юбилейные медали навсегда достоянием полка с тем, чтобы по мере убыли офицеров и солдат, имеющих эти медали, они передавались другим чинам по усмотрению начальства. на соответствующей всеподданнейшей записке николай ii 23 февраля 1899 г. наложил резолюцию: «вполне одобряю эту мысль». франц-иосиф также поддержал данную идею. но желая, чтобы офицеры и нижние чины, уже получившие медали, сохранили их до конца своей жизни, соизволил пожаловать еще 100 серебряных и 40 бронзовых медалей с тем, чтобы они выдавались офицерам и унтер-офицерам лишь на время их пребывания в полку. в 1899 г. поручиком б.в. ацамовичем было выработано «положение о полковых юбилейных шефских медалях 1898 года лейб-гвардии кексгольмского императора австрийского полка», утвержденное командиром полка генерал-майором князем д.л.аргутинским-долгоруковым. с этого времени серебряные медали выдавались всем офицерам, поступающим в полк. бронзовые же распределялись следующим образом: в роте его величества императора австрийского фельдфебелю и всем взводным унтер-офицерам - 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 -
