Lot 1077 - Set of Twelve Zodiac Animals of the Tang Dynasty
Lot 1106 - Gandharan Stone Panel Depicting Procession Scene
This carved stone frieze comes from the Gandhara region, a crossroads of artistic traditions that flourished between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. While much of Gandharan art focuses on depictions of the Buddha, this procession scene likely formed part of a larger narrative panel. Friezes of this kind were widely used as architectural decoration, illustrating the rich blending of Indian, Persian, and Greco-Roman influences that defined Gandharan art.

Lot 1222 - Songye Kifwebe Mask
Originating from the Congo River basin, Kifwebe masks embody mystical power and social authority. Distinguished by their striated surfaces and bold sculptural features, these masks were used in ceremonies among the Songye people as emissaries of chiefs and guardians of esoteric knowledge. Male and female masks can be distinguished by their form and colour, with the male masks often representing authority, aggression, and secret society rites.

Lot 1247 - Rennell Island Ritual Fish Hook
Ritual hooks of this type were used by priests of Rennell Island, in the Solomon Islands, to invoke the gods before fishing. These objects were considered highly taboo and imbued with spiritual significance. More than utilitarian tools, they served as ceremonial instruments connecting human communities with the divine powers of the sea.
