A weather vane, with a cockerel finial, a pair of heart shaped plant guides, and assorted other items (qty)

Ca. 350 - 300 BC. A red-figure pottery olpe with a bulbous body and a short, splayed foot. The neck is funnel-shaped and has a flanged mouth. The two vertical handles serve the purpose of lifting the vessel when filled with water, while a vertical handle at the back facilitates pouring and holding the vase. Beneath the vertical handles, a large fan-shaped palmette is flanked by stylised plant scrolls on each side. There is a floral motif on the neck. Side A of the olpe is decorated with a scene presenting a seated crowned Nike holding a large wreath in the right hand. Side B of the olpe depicts a Maenad in a long tunic with her hair gathered in a topknot. She also wears a beaded necklace and bracelets on both wrists. Her left hand holds a mirror, while her right is outstretched, holding a large wreath. For similar see: Christie's, Live Auction 19992, Antiquities, Lot 20.

Potter (Beatrix).- [Jeremy Fisher], 3 photogravure illustrations from Jeremy Fisher, copper steel-faced oval plates on a rectangular plaque, ?other plates removed from wooden blocks, nailed on to wooden boards, some scratching and wear to plates, plates 73 x 85mm., wooden boards 184 x 102mm., [?near contemporary to 1906]. *** The three plates illustrated Jeremy Fisher tying his boat to a water-plant, his first catching of the stickleback and the enormous Trout swimming through the water with Fisher's legs visibly protruding from this mouth. It is conceivable that the copper of these plates has been steel-faced at a later stage to help it withstand longer runs. Support for a relatively early date in the history of the three-colour photomechanical process comes from the fairly primitive mounting of the plates. Similar (perhaps identical) plates have been removed from the other half of the three wooden blocks, probably duplicates. Later on in the development of photomechanical printing in relief, copper plates would have been mounted down on special metal supports by major printers (and in the case of a small popular publication many side by side rather than just two). Printing just two plates for the same publication side by side (assuming that this was the case) would also point to an earlier rather than late date, as does the naming of the colour on the plates themselves (which was a hangover from the earlier colour-printing methods when a dozen or so colour blocks would have been used for a colour print – and there may well have been confusion). Even if the plates/blocks are early, they could have continued in use for half a century or more..

A RARE SPIRIT MASK 'BARAK' OR 'YAMBURAI PARAK' EASTERN SEPIK PROVINCE, NEW GUINEA, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY Wood, remains of polychrome, modern stand mask 45cm high, 35cm deep Provenance: UK Art Market Ex Private collection Literature: 'New Guinea Art, Masterpieces from the Jolika collection of Marcia and John Friede, Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, vol. 2, pg. 89. ill. 39 Originally these masks were brightly coloured. However, after many years of exposure within the ceremonial houses the colour faded away through use and weathering. The mask was traditionally worn by a dancer whose plant fibre costume completely covered him, and was associated with an important male mythical being. The Barak (sometimes spelled 'barag' or 'brag') were situated to the west of the Sepik River. The Sepik River was first explored in 1885 by Otto Fisch. He wrote of the region's cultural diversity and beauty of the villages that he saw on the banks of the river over which towered the 'men's houses'. In the early 20th century collectors of primitive art were astounded at the sheer quantity of marvellous objects to be found in this region and the extraordinary inventiveness of the forms in this difficult swampy terrain.
