Five detached illustrated folios from a Shahnama : Rustam lifts Afrasiyab of Turan by the belt ; Garsivaz is flogged while Afrasiyab is dragged from the lake (named in panel); possibly Tus and Gudarz encounter a fair maiden in the forest ; Gulnar and Ardashir (named in panel) and The Duel between Gudarz and  Piran, Iran, late 17th century,Opaque pigments and ink on paper, each with four columns of naskh script interspersed with gold clouds picked in blue and red within thin gold margins ruled in black and orange, above and below, two foliops with heading in white similar script against gold within rectangular panel ruled in green and black, each mounted, light staining, some corrosion and losses, framed and glazed (5)The scene of Garsivaz being flogged while Afrasiyab is dragged from the lake is also on a Shahnama leaf in the National Museum of Asian Art, (formerly Freer-Sackler), no. S1986.249, circa 1580 (Lowry, Beach et al 1988, p. 111, no. 120).Condition Report: Minor losses and flaking to paint, unexamined out of frames

A Roman bone fragment, circa 2nd-3rd Century A.D. carved with a temple scene, depicting a winged Nike above an altar, the fire tended by a kneeling figure below, she pours a libation into a dish above his head held out by a bearded male figure on the left, a second figure to the right of the scene, probably representing Apollo holding a lyre,8.5cm x 3.7cmProvenance: with Adam Prout, Didbrook; with Douglas Barratt, London 2011; Olympia Auctions, Matthew Barton Ltd, European & Asian Works of Art, 26 May 2021, Lot 248. 

A calligraphic gold inlaid steel tulwar hilt with invocations to God, Muhammad and 'Ali, India, 18th century,The calligraphic inscriptions applied to the pommel, grip, cross guard and quillons, the knuckle guard with scrolling floral tendrils, 16.5cm. highProvenance : London art market, mid-1980s This is a wonderful example of an inlaid calligraphic hilt which were made for a patron with significant means, either a royal or nobleman of high stature. The so-called bedchamber sword of Tipu Sultan recently sold at Bonhams 23 May 2023 Lot 175P for £14 million has a very similar hilt which the catalogue notes describe as "an exquisite calligraphic hilt, amongst the rarest types from the Indian sub-continent, decorated in the very finest gold-inlaid Arabic, listing invocations to God. For despite ruling a predominantly Hindu state, Tipu Sultan was a Muslim and a pious and doughty defender of the faith, his sword befitting the extremely high ranking Muslim he was." The bold calligraphy on that hilt is enhanced on ours by the delicate use of flowers typical of Mughal decoration. It is surely the work of a master craftsman. A finely inlaid hilt in the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore (1996-00532) with gold floral inlays and silver calligraphic inscriptions contains a similar inscription to ours, "Call upon Ali who causes wonders, you will find him helpful in misfortune, all anguish, all sorrow will disappear, through your Prophethood, Oh Muhammad, through your friendship (with God) Oh Ali, Oh Ali, Oh Ali."   Condition Report: As can be seen in the catalogue illustration this lot retains a large amount of its inlay. The inscriptions are mostly legible overall. The hilt present a stabilised surface corrosion. This lot is in a condition consistent with its age and former use.

"Untitled" - Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947), Oil on Canvas.Painted in bold ochres and deep twilight blues, this oil on canvas captures a vision of sacred mountains bathed in golden light beneath an enveloping dusk sky. The dramatic ridges and flowing valley forms are stylized with Roerich’s signature monumental serenity, evoking themes of transcendence, inner stillness, and spiritual ascent. Signed with the artist’s monogram at the lower right.Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947) was a Russian painter, philosopher, archaeologist, writer, and mystic whose life and work transcended national and disciplinary boundaries. Born in Saint Petersburg, he studied art at the Imperial Academy of Arts and law at Saint Petersburg University, later gaining fame for his evocative paintings rooted in spiritual symbolism, Eastern philosophy, and nature—especially the Himalayas, which became a recurring motif in his work. Roerich was a key figure in the Russian Symbolist movement and later turned toward a more theosophical worldview, blending Eastern mysticism with Western artistic traditions.Roerich’s accomplishments were extraordinary and global in scope. He created over 7,000 works of art and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times due to his efforts in cultural preservation. He initiated the Roerich Pact—an international treaty signed in 1935 in the presence of President Franklin D. Roosevelt—that called for the protection of cultural monuments during times of war. Roerich also led the famed Central Asian Expedition (1925–1929), a spiritual and scholarly journey through India, Tibet, Mongolia, and China, documenting ancient cultures and sacred sites.He spent his later years in India, where he founded the Himalayan Research Institute (Urusvati) in the Kullu Valley and became a revered figure in Indian spiritual and artistic circles. Roerich’s legacy bridges art, mysticism, and diplomacy—his Himalayan landscapes remain iconic for their mystical light and transcendent serenity, capturing not just physical terrain but a spiritual dimension that continues to inspire globally.Approximately 59 x 45cmProvenance: Private collection from a distinguished USA collector.

AN ELABORATE TURKMEN CEREMONIAL WEDDING HEADDRESS WITH SHELLS AND PENDANTS Turkmenistan, late 20th centuryThe hemispherical off-white felt hat lined in black-dyed cotton, the outer red cotton ground sewn with concentric, overlapping rows of white metal pendants, chased in relief with rosettes roundels and beaded vertical bands, further embellished with bands of cowrie sea shells and dangling rattling spheres and Kuchi coins, both in silver and white metal, the dome-like finial surmounted by a miniature-size parasol with almond-shaped pendants, with two narrow strips of felt running down the sides, also sewn with pendants and decorated with charms, and a long red velvet tail with polychrome tassels and white metal plaques, either chased in relief with flower stems, or set with gems and glass tesserae (the majority now missing), the overall design testament to the elaborate jewellery and adornment art of the Central Asian populations living in modern-day 'Istans', especially Turkmenistan and Kyrghizistan.21cm diameter and 26cm high, the tail 38cm long including the tassels Ornate ceremonial hats like the present example have long been a distinctive element of traditional celebration attire among Turkmen women, especially in the important rites of passage such as birth and marriage.

A LARGE KASHMIRI GILT, POLYCHROME-PAINTED AND LACQUERED PAPIER-MÂCHÉ FIRE BELLOWS Kashmir, Northern India, mid to late 19th centuryWith a heart-shaped head lined on the sides with red-dyed leather and brass studs, and long, narrow double handles, the lacquered wooden components painted in polychromes and gold, each side decorated with traditional Kashmiri decorative motifs, one side featuring a fine golden vegetal grid with interlocking foliate meanders, split palmette trellis and floral sprays highlighted in red and blue on a white ground, the reverse with a lush floral triumph showcasing an abundance of flower bouquets typical of the region with hyacinths, roses, tulips, and carnations highlighted in gold against a brownish black ground.93cm long Bellows, traditionally used to deliver additional air to a heat source, have been employed in various shapes and forms since at least Ancient Egypt. For instance, pot bellows were recurrently used in the Levant and Egypt as testified by archaeological remains, whilst East Asian territories seem to have preferred box bellows. The shape of this particular example is in line with traditional 19th-century English and Scottish home fire bellows, and yet, its decorative style points towards a different manufacturing origin: Kashmir. Indeed, Kashmiri lacquers seem to have been prized possessions and sought-after keepsakes of European, Scottish and British travellers and officials working in the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as suggested by the vast quantities of decorative and functional objects found in English countryside homes. This fire bellows must have been produced in a similar set of circumstances, most probably a private commission, presenting today a remarkable witness of 19th-century Anglo-Indian art. 93cm long Qty: 1
