An Eastern Mediterranean bronze statuette of a warrior with horned helmet, 13th - 12th century B.C. Bronze figure on a capital-like pedestal, round at the bottom and widening to a square base at the top. The figure is dressed in a tunic-like, belted garment that ends just above the knees. The arms bent and close to the body, only shown very reduced and flat, in contrast to the rest of the figure. On the head with clearly elaborated anatomical details such as ears, eyes, nose and mouth, a conical helmet with a central ridge on the front, short horns on the sides. Beautiful dark green patina with olive green oxide layers. The figure reminds of representations of warriors of the so-called "Sea Peoples" or of representations of men with horned helmets from Enkomi. Height 8.4 cm. Provenance: South German private collection, taken over from the collection of the grandfather. Condition: I -

Spalling at the edge of the round base fragment towards the wall of the lost glass vessel. Slightly corroded on the surface. Diameter circa 7.5 cm. Provenance: From the collection of a South German classical philologist, who acquired it in the 1950s to 1960s. Part of the family estate ever since. Condition: II - III

An eagle on a thunderbolt, a Roman bronze appliqué, 2nd - 3rd century A.D. Small, but extremely high-quality bronze appliqué representing an eagle standing on a thunderbolt with a twisted surface relief. The eagle taking off in flight, looking forwards, its head slightly lowered, beating its outstretched wings. Anatomical details such as eyes, beak and plumage meticulously crafted in detail and precisely reworked and chased after the casting with an elaborate "finish". Hollow at the back. Iron oxide residue from a pin, which was used to fix the appliqué on a support, in the area of the neck and head. Matte, dark green patina. Intact. Delightful piece, attesting to provincial Roman craftsmanship. Height 4.5 cm. Width 6 cm. Provenance: From a private South German collection. Inherited from the consignor's late grandfather, who died 30 years ago. Condition: I

Half of a stone mould for a spearhead, late Bronze Age, 12th – 9th century B.C. Half of a mould carved in rock, in the shape of a trapezoid. A rectangular nub at the bottom in the middle on both sides, which was used to secure the missing other half mould. On the upper side of the mould, showing the incised form for a bronze spearhead, a hole for fixing pins to ensure the exact fit with the non-existent counterpart can be seen above and below the indentation. Tip of the mould broken off. The socket was probably hammered from the casting plug at the end of the lance. Four casting channels on each side of the recess for the spearhead. The inside of the mould blackened by use. Interesting, prehistoric technical tool in good condition. Length 7.5 cm. Provenance: From a private South German collection. Inherited from the consignor's late grandfather, who died 30 years ago. Condition: II
