Mesopotamia

Important "clay nail" - a baked foundation cone of Enmetena, ruler of Lagash, Early Dynastic III Period, c. 2440 B.C. Cone comprised of the remaining lower half, the inscribed section. The upper uninscribed part missing. Baked hard in a pale biscuit color, the whole covered with two rows of vertical registers containing script.

Translation:

At that time, Entemena ruler of the city of Lagash, and Lugalkiginedudu, the ruler of the city of Uruk, between themselves a brotherhood made.

1. But for missing portions, object crisp and well preserved. Faint image of a cylinder roll out on the flat "head" of the nail. L: 90 mm.; Diameter.: 2.2". Rare historical document! $2750

These cones were inserted into the temple walls to record their building, rather like modern foundation stones. This particular one is especially noteworthy as it is an example of Old Sumerian script from the Early Dynastic period. Also, these are the only clay nails known to celebrate a treaty formed between two kings.

2. Early Akkadian Period, c. 2400 B.C. Broad cylinder in black serpentine or chlorite, with equally wide bore. Contest scene with two heroes grappling with central rampant lion. One restrains the creature while the other stabs at it. In field two vertical registers with Akkadian inscription: "Nugansha, son of Naya." Intact but worn, however Akkadian inscriptions are always desirable. L: 22 mm. $325

3. Ur III, c. 2050 B.C. An unbaked beige clay tablet with eighteen lines of cuneiform in Sumerian dialect. It is a ration list, showing named individuals as (mainly) getting 5 loaves of bread. Lines 16 and 17 on the reverse are the overseers. Some of the names are: Lugal-Ili, Ur-Basha, Ur-Shupae, etc. These are all good Sumerian names and imply the tablet is of the Ur III period. Some chips and spalls, nevertheless a good-sized tablet in decent shape. Thus desirable. $600

4. Early Old Babylonian, c. 2000-1800 B.C. Hematite cylinder with presentation scene: a Lamma goddess, in striped robe and wearing horned crown, introduces a worshipper (the seal's owner, who is wearing a cap and fringed robe) to a seated deity, who is wearing a flounced robe and sash, and is seated on a padded throne. Lunar crescent in field. In two vertical registers, the Babylonian inscription: "Dingar Aya, Dingar Shamash" = "For Shamash and his consort Aya". Piece intact and absolutely pristine, with evidence of drill work. L: 19 mm. Choice!! $1650

It is rare to find such unused cylinders of this quality. Its condition suggests the likelihood of this object being a votive piece to Shamash, and which was deposited at his temple. This piece is thus a fascinating glimpse into the life and beliefs of an ancient individual.

5. Early Neo-Assyrian Period, c. 800 B.C. Cylinder in once blue-glazed now mostly gone white. Scene of two confronted griffins, a crescent moon, and "nonsense" cuneiform symbols in the field. Seal a little worn but ample traces of the original blue glaze remain. L: 1". $225

In this period throughout the Near East, it can be seen on inscribed objects that just the image of the word contained a magical power beyond the comprehension of the modern person inundated these days with the printed word. At this time blundered, garbled, and purely incomprehensible inscriptions, not to mention "pseudo-inscriptions, are commonly encountered.

This relief displays a peculiar Egyptian practice whereby it was placed on an earlier monument and this "reissue" was symbolic and magically united this pharaoh with the builder of the earlier monument.

7. Late Period, ca. 400-50 B.C. Oblong fragment of papyrus with twelve lines of demotic script, the writing of the people, penned in a neat hand. On back, two faint lines (Greek?), perhaps by a different hand. Size: 4.4"x1". A choice example with text on the obverse bold and clear. Scarce!! $600

Ancient Israel

8. Lot of two coins, both good examples of inscriptions in paleo-Hebrew. John Hyrcanus II, 63-40 B.C., bronze prutah: obverse with Hebrew inscription with wreath, "Yonatan the high Priest and the Council of the Jews." Reverse with double cornucopia and pomegranate. Other: bronze prutah of the First Revolt, year 2 = 67/68 A.D. Obverse with amphora and inscription, "Year two"; reverse with vine leaf and inscription, "For the freedom of Zion." $75/2

Early Printing

11. Mexican, Post Classic Mayan Codice, Maya knowledge and some traditions were recorded mainly on gessoed bark-paper codices. Sometimes on deer hide. All had to be transcribed periodically because of the perishable nature of the material and color pigments used; brush painted on gesso surface, deteriorated by handling and the elements. There may be a number of fragments still surviving unknowingly (and known) of these priceless objects in private collections, beside the famous and well known ones in European institutions, but never on the open market. This one with its 20 pages seems to offer an accounting with its day glyphs, imagery, beautifully executed glyphic blocks and deities as well as other pictorial elements of Maya iconography. Survivor of Yucatan Bishop Landas' fervor of destroying all pagan Mayan recordings of Satan in the 16th century. Kept by some and forgotten for many years, this marvelous bark-paper folding book was obtained from a Merida City artist and scholar Miguel Covarubias. He has passed it on in the mid 1950's to his benefactor and friend Bruno Pagliani, a Mexico City industrialist and art connoisseur, husband of Merle Oberon. Has been kept in a family vault in different locations ever since. Approximately 19 1/2cm x 17 1/7cm. Estimate on Request

Autographed Documents

18. Marquis Nicholas Du Barry-Conti, Count D'Hargicourt; a folio power of attorney directed to the Lord Chancellor of London, signed by Du Barry, and dated 22 September, 1795 with red wax seals and endorsement signed by Fred. Louis Klapp empowering his nephew Count of Juillac to receive 10,000 French Livres owed to the Duke and held in England from the estate of his "defunct sister-in-law" Countess Du Barry (1746-1793). Choice! $1000

The infamous Mme. Du Barry was born Jeanne Becu, a peasant girl. She grew up to be an attractive woman who caught the eye of Count Du Barry who married her off to his brother Count William Du Barry. She matured under William's tutelage to become the mistress of the aging king Louis XV, and served him during the last five years of his life. The Du Barry family did quite well during this period prior to the French Revolution. Mme Du Barry assembled a marvelous collection of jewels but was robbed during the Revolution. The pieces were offered on the London market and it was here that the Du Barrys tried to obtain them. There is enough glamour and history involved in this document to inspire another Dumas novel. In addition the red seals of Du barry and the Principality of Waldstein survive beautifully. Unique and uniquely interesting.

24. General Antonio Lopez De Santa-Anna, President of Mexico, 1795-1876. "Last Will and Testament". Given during his imprisonment in the Fortress San Juan De Ulua, Veracruz. The most illustrious and controversial personage in the Mexican Nations History. First to proclaim independence from Spain on December 2nd 1822. Since 1821 served his country in many actions as soldier and general, including the famed "Alamo" of San Antonio, as well as the French Intervention. Has been elected and or called to serve as president of his country without historical presedent; a total of seven times. His ungrateful citizens and political enemies then turned on him calling for his head. In 1855 the powers to be exiled him, leaving Veracruz for San Thomas where he lived for 12 years. In light and in spite of his long and many times exemplary service to his country, the later "official" history calls him traitor, and never forgave him for the Mesilla Treaty. This treaty known as the Gadfden Purchase was an agreement of boarder limits between present Arizona and Sonora States. " He sold our country", as it is still said by present day Mexicans. He was president and dictator, removed, imprisoned and exiled several times and played the politics on both sides in those uncertain and turbulent formative times. He was a restless patriot who was called upon repeatedly, even from exile. He led 20,000 troops against General Taylor at Buena Vista in the 1847 Mexican -American War as appointed Generalissimo, which was lost. He then resigned the presidency and had to leave his country again. On his second return in 1867 was imprisoned in the Fortress of San Juan De Ulua, Veracruz. Being ill, he gave his testament in front of government representatives un his prison. On a later date was exiled again. As it was the system then, an official public scribe, keeper of public records hand wrote this deposition into a large book, then from this original copies could be made, by scribe of the nation in Veracruz City, Sr. Leonido Vadillo. It was an official public act, done in front of five government representatives and became a public instrument. This document was done for Santa-Anna's attorney Francisco de Paula Castro, who was present when it was written and whose descendents are the direct provenance of this doucment. 18 pages in Spanish, dated September 26th, 1867.
