A set of four vintage temple blocks , possibly Ludwig/Leedy, of skull/fish form, with mounts From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'The temple block is a percussion instrument originating in China, Japan and Korea where it is used in religious ceremonies. It is a carved hollow wooden instrument with a large slit. In its traditional form, the wooden fish, the shape is somewhat bulbous; modern instruments are also used which are rectangular in shape. Several blocks of varying sizes are often used together to give a variety of pitches. In western music, their use can be traced back to early jazz drummers, and they are not uncommon in modern orchestral music. Its sound is similar to that of the wood block, although temple blocks have a darker, more 'hollow' timbre...'

Vollständiger, 32-teiliger Schach-Figuren-Satz des von Natalija Ja. Danko (1892-1942) in den Jahren 1922/23 entworfenen Revolutions-Schachspiels der Rotgardisten gegen die Weißen. Seit 1919 leitete N. Danko die nach der Revolution aus der Kaiserlichen Porzellanmanufaktur hervorgegangene Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (Gosudarstvennyj Farforovyj Zavod). Die Figuren tragen die Bodenmarke der staatlichen Manufaktur mit Hammer, Sichel und Zahnrad (in Gold und Schwarz), so dass ein Herstellungsdatum vor 1925 angenommen werden kann, da die Staatliche Manufaktur 1925 zur „Leningrader Porzellan- Manufaktur namens Lomonosov“ umbenannt wurde und neue Bodenmarken einführte. Vorliegendes Schachspiel lässt sich in seinem symbolischen Gehalt der besonderen Gattung des sowjetischen Agitations-Porzellans zuordnen. Während der König der „Roten“ als jugendlicher Arbeiter mit Vorschlaghammer dargestellt ist und die rote Königin als Bäuerin mit Weizengarbe, wird der weiße König mit Totenschädel gezeigt und die weiße Königin als Frau mit Gold in Überfülle, das aus einem Füllhorn quillt. Die Bauern der Weißen erscheinen als Sklaven in Ketten gegürtet. Deutlich wird die Herabsetzung der Weißen als dekadente Unterdrücker-Klasseim Gegensatz zu den werktätigen Roten.Zustand: Figur des weißen Königs geklebt, Höhe der Figuren: 5,5 -10 cm.Provenienz: Das vorliegende Schach-Set stammt aus der Sammlung des ehemaligen Schach-Großmeisters Lothar Schmid, von diesem erworben bei Christie’s / London.Lit.: Vgl. Lobanov-Rostovsky, Nina, Revolutionskeramik. Sowjetisches Porzellan 1917-1927, Basel / London, 1990, S. 96; Petzold, Joachim, Das Königliche Spiel. Die Kulturgeschichte des Schach, Leipzig 1987, S. 217.Chess set designed by Natalija Ja. Danko (1892-1942) 1922/23. Chess game of the Red guardsmen against the White Guards. Manufactory's mark with hammer, sickle and cogwheel (in gold and black), so the dating of the chess set can be assumed before 1925, as the State Manufactory was renamed the “Leningrad Porcelain Manufactory named Lomonosov” in 1925 and introduced new marks. The symbolic content of this chess set can be assigned to the special genre of Soviet agitation porcelain. While the king of the “Reds” is shown as a young man of the working class and the red queen as a peasant woman, the white king is shown with skull and the white queen as a woman with a cornucopia. The white peasants appear as slaves girded in chains. The degradation of the White guards as a decadent oppressor class in contrast to the working Reds seems to be obvious.Condition: Figure of the white king is glued, height of the figures: 5.5 -10 cm.Provenance: The chess set comes from the collection of the former chess grandmaster Lothar Schmid, acquired by him at Christie's / London.

Josefa Sánchez (active between 1639 and 1652, possibly in Castile).Carved and painted wooden cross for a monk / nun's cell.  At the feet of the crucified Christ, we find the representation of Saint Anthony with the Child Jesus.56.7 x 37.3 cm.Attached is a certificate from Dr. Cathy Hall-van den Elsen, dated December 20, 2024. Numerous women artists in this and any other field of art and society throughout history have faced indifference, ignorance and collective contempt, most of them will never be recognized, as they have fallen into inexorable anonymity. The artist, María Josefa Sánchez, is no exception to this unfair rule. Fortunately, however, in recent years the work of women artists of great renown such as María Josefa Sánchez has been revisited, shining the spotlight where shadows have always reigned. This arduous task, made more difficult by the scarcity of information, was begun by Mrs. Carmen G. Perez-Neu in the case of our painter (and many others) in her book “Universal Gallery of Women Painters” (1964), a start that seemed the beginning of a long journey through the desert, but that has borne fruit.  In fact, welcome news came recently of the acquisition, by the Meadows Museum of Dallas, of a cross for private worship by Josefa Sánchez, in the summer of 2024. This piece, which was purchased along with a still life by Josefa de Ayala, “demonstrates her artistic skill [and] highlights her role in shaping the religious expression and spirituality of the period,” the museum states in the release announcing the acquisition.Both the cross (inv. MM.2024.10) from the Meadows, a museum that “houses one of the largest and most complete collections of Spanish art outside Spain”, and especially another magnificent painted cross, signed and dated 1646, exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago (inv. 2018.52), have an undoubted resemblance to the cross we present in this auction. María Josefa Sánchez (active between 1639 and 1652, probably in Castile) specialized, in fact, in the production of crosses like this one, popular objects for private worship in Spain and Latin America, widely used in 17th century devotional painting.The first artwork by Sánchez, which put her on the map of relevant artists of the Spanish Golden Age was made known by José de Mesa and Teresa Gisbert in their publication, in 1970, for the Spanish Art Archive (volume 43, no. 169). As the art historian Fernando Collar de Cáceres points out in his article “Sobre algunas cruces pintadas de María Josefa Sánchez” (Pursuant to some painted crosses by María Josefa Sánchez) (1989), the aim of this publication was not to extol the quality of the piece, a cross signed and dated 1639, but the “contribution of the name of this unknown artist to the meager repertoire of Spanish painters”. In addition to numerous iconographic and stylistic contributions by Collar -we strongly recommend reading the article- the historian reveals that this first piece ended up being two: a signed copy located in the Monastery of San Antonio el Real in Segovia, with a slender, upright Christ that “responds to late 16th-century models [such as] those of Tristán or Bartolomé de Cárdenas,” with Adam's skull at the lower end of the cross and the Immaculate Conception between the two; and the second one is the painted Christ of the Convent of Santo Domingo el Real, from 1649, with, at His feet, “a young woman dressed in white and kneeling on a weightless sphere wrapped in fire [who] receives into her heart the blood that flows from the Christ's side”.This cross is accompanied by Dr. Cathy Hall-van den Elsen's certificate detailing the small but rich corpus by Josefa Sánchez, an artist whose legacy arouses great interest, as evidenced by her presence in exhibitions such as “Spain: art and empire in the Golden Age” (San Diego Museum of Art, 2019) and “Leaving her mark: a history of women artists in Europe, 1400-1800” (Baltimore Museum of Art and Art Gallery of Ontario, 2024).This lot has a valid export license from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Reference Bibliography:- Collar de Cáceres, Fernando.
