ASTERIX CONQUERS AMERICA (1994) - Asterix, Obelix and Multi-Character Original Production Cel and Pan Original Layout Drawing Setup - A richly detailed pan layout setup from the animated feature Asterix Conquers America (aka Asterix In America), expertly composed using seven original hand-painted production cels over a large-format pan background drawing.Asterix Conquers America was the first Asterix film produced entirely outside France and marked an ambitious expansion of the franchise. With its distinctive style, international tone, and strong visual storytelling, it brought the iconic Gauls to a new generation.While this specific arrangement does not appear "as is" in the film, each cel and layout element was created for the production and has been thoughtfully assembled by the studio to showcase the visual dynamism and character design that define the feature. The studio officially released this piece as part of the Asterix Art Program, curated to preserve the series' legacy and offer collectors a rare look into the production process.Set in a Native American village deep in the New World, the artwork brings together an ensemble of key characters: the defiant Asterix stands mid-conversation alongside the wise druid Getafix (Panoramix), recently kidnapped and flung across the ocean by Roman forces. To their side, the young tribal girl, while a wary villager and medicine man, and the elaborately dressed village chief observe from either end, the ever-faithful Obelix acting as both mediator and muscle in the scene.The pencil layout background stretches across, laying out the ceremonial grounds and tipi village in a sweeping perspective. These layouts were integral to shot planning, camera movement, and cel positioning. The scale, clarity, and theatrical composition make this setup an ideal display piece, a scene that captures the drama and charm of the film's aesthetic. Multiple production reference numbers are handwritten along the bottom edge of the cels, and several annotations are written on the drawing. The official studio stamp is present on the bottom right corner of the layout, authenticating its origin. A special offering for fans of the franchise and for collectors who value the immediacy, scale, and storytelling power of original animation art.

A NAZWA STYLE QURAYSHIA TRIBE BRASS DALLAH COFFEE POT Bahrain or Saudi Arabia, early 20th centuryOf classic flared cylindrical shape, rising from a wide splayed rounded base, engraved throughout with overlapping bands of vegetal scrollwork, fretwork and stylised flower heads, the tall conical lid surmounted by a pointed finial, with its distinctive ‘saw-tooth’ hinged lid-catch, with a boldly arched spout decorated with further floral designs and a curved handle on the opposite side, the overall design associated with the Qurayshia tribe, fitted with original chains, just below the rim a gold and red seal stamped in Arabic, testifying to the 'superior quality' of the ware, the base left plain displaying natural patina from age and use.32cm high This type of dallah, known as the ‘Nazwa’ style (دلة نزوى), is highly prized in the Arabian Gulf, with close links to Bedouin hospitality and coffee culture (qahwa), particularly among the Qurayshia tribe. This distinct shape is easily recognisable by the strong arch of the spout and the flared lower section. Early 20th-century examples from Bahrain and Eastern Saudi Arabia are increasingly rare, representing an important part of Gulf material heritage and Islamic decorative arts. Such pieces were often used in majlis gatherings, where serving coffee is a symbol of hospitality, social status, and tribal identity.
