476-221 BCE, Burnished Amphora with Bronze Fittings, China, Late Warring States Period-early Han Dynasty

Burnished Amphora with Bronze Fittings, China, Late Warring States Period-early Han Dynasty, 476-221 BCE. Estimate $12,000 – $15,000. Photo Artemis Gallery.

This boldly modeled and very large ovoid shaped amphora is embellished with unusual bronze appliques. This wonderful modernistic shape which mixes well with modern art is a bit of a mystery since usually Chinese art forms are repeated dynasty after dynasty. This shape was only used during the Late Warring States period through early Han Dynasty. Some theorists suggest import by foreign peoples, but the only comparable shape is a bronze version of much later date from Japan. It is a spectacular piece if displayed on a pedestal. We can help the buyer find an appropriate pedestal for its enhancement. Wide strap handles. Flared neck has 3 linear bands around exterior and concentric circular combed bands on interior of neck. Bottom has cross hatching. Size: 12-1/4″H.

Provenance: Acquired by present owner from an old New York collection.

Polychrome Warriors Vessel, Pre-Columbian, Nazca culture, Southern Peru, ca. 200-600 CE. Estimate $1,200 – $1,500. Photo Artemis Gallery.

Large polychrome pottery bridge-spout vessel decorated in the form of a warrior with modeled face emerging from the front and five warriors rendered in composite profile on his mantle, hand painted in distinct shades of red, black, beige, and cream.  Jar is painted with battle scenes and implements of war with atl atl below the head and those very terrifying abstract warriors to each side and rear.  The Nazca replaced post-firing resin painting with pre-firing slip painting making for a great deal of experimentation to learn which slips produced certain colors. Note the painstaking technique required to adorn this vessel with intricate details and geometric motifs in such a wide range of hues!  Size:  7″ W x 6-1/4″ H

Provenance: Ex-private C. Sobredo Collection, acquired in 1964.

Among the finest oil lamps we have had the pleasure of handling! Cast bronze lamp in the form of a standing African male. He stands nude save cape over his shoulder, very anatomically correct, holding a torch which acts as the spout to the lamp, small hole in his left shoulder acts as the fill hole. The sculpture has developed a stunning multi-hued patina and is simply gorgeous! Size: 6″H – not counting custom stand.
