Lot 686
AN UNUSUAL AND FINELY CARVED FRENCH RENAISSANCE WOOD PANEL BRITTANY, 16TH/17TH CENTURY Lemon or another fruit wood, possibly a back 'splat' or part of a musical device, in low relief, 'Stations of the Cross', mounted on a wood block support splat 53cm long, 9cm wide Provenance: Ex Private London collection This would seem to be a depiction of the 'Arma Christi', or instruments of the Passion of Christ. This subject appears as from the late 15th Century in Christian iconography (going back to a legend about a vision of Pope Gregory) and the subject was heavily promoted in Catholic devotion of 'indulgence prayers' in the following decades. The Reformation opposed to many devotional practices, including these indulgence prayers - and one can only assume that this carved wooden 'splat' was part of a larger liturgic instrument (such as a crucifix, or a relic holder of some kind to be used in processions), probably destroyed in one of the many Church raids of the 16th Century

The two ends of the cross are in the shape of a ruyi. The front is inlaid with carved mother-of-pearl, depicting fruit vines, lotus, flowers and leaves. The sides and back are plain. Catalogue notes:Macau became a major training and departure point for Catholic missionaries to different countries in Asia, and crosses such as this example would have served in the teaching of the Bible.The cross crucifix most probably came from Macao. After the arrival of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, Macau became a diocese of the Catholic Church. The Diocese of Macau was given a wide jurisdiction over various ecclesiastical territories in the Far East, such as China, Japan, Vietnam, and Malaysia.A related, Chinese, mother-of-pearl inlaid crucifix dating to the 17th-18th century was sold at Christie's Auction "European Courts Encounter Japan" on May 11, 2015, lot 14.

Lot 598
Squat form silver plated Christopher Dresser jug, with crucifix etched design. Height 22 cm. NOTE: This item has been assigned an ivory exemption certificate number H684QJTS. CONDITION REPORT: Other than being very dirty the jug appears to be in generally very good order. There do not appear to be any significant dents or scratches to the main body of the piece. There is a scratch through the plating on the handle and rubbing to the plating also on the handle. The main body of the piece is so dirty that is difficult to say whether there is any rubbing here. A minor criticism is that the lid does not sit quite flush at the very front. There is a very small gap at the end of the sparrow beak. There is a suggestion that the piece may have been dropped as there is ever so slight buckling of the top of the lid beneath the finial. This is a minor criticism.
Lot 364
A 14ct gold crucifix pendant on chain by Louis Osman, 1977, the oval pendant slightly concave and depicting a stylised Corpus Christi, with 14 further raised dots around the outside, seven to each side, the reverse applied with wirework initials‘CJ’, suspended from a square section fetter and belcher-link chain, hallmarked London 1977, with maker’s mark ‘LO’, pendant dimensions 22 x 17.5mm, necklace length 52cm. £1,200-£1,500 Please note ARR will apply to this lot (Artist’s Resale Rights). --- Given by Mr and Mrs Jenkins to their younger daughter Claire on the occasion of her confirmation; personalised with her initials ‘CJ’ to the reverse. The seven dots to either side of the pendant represent the seven deadly sins (pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth) to be avoided and the counterbalancing seven heavenly virtues (chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility) to be attained/demonstrated. The correspondence between Louis and Dorothy Jenkins that accompanies this piece gives an amusing illustration that Louis’ talents lay most decidedly in the creative sphere and not in book keeping or administration. He enquires: “Did I ask you the usual 50% on Claire’s little cross […]: I can’t remember & didn’t keep a note –– but I’ve had ideas & this is under way : so if I didn’t I’d be glad of it : but if I did and you have already paid me say ‘How tiresome he is’, and throw this away“ (21 January 1977). Exhibited: In Celebration of Gold and Silver: An exhibition of exquisite jewellery and magnificent silver made during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, a Goldsmiths’ Company exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall, May - July 2002, exhibition catalogue no. 98.
