Another specimen from the same dies, though its description does not point out the legend error: NAC 111, 24 September 2018, lot 163. Even without the error, this combination of obverse legend and reverse type is rare on aurei: not in the British Museum or Paris collections, nor in Cohen. aEF...............................................................................22500 28.

Apparently not a product of the official mint of Rome, to judge from its light weight and the three errors in the obverse legend. The same unofficial manufacturer was probably also responsible for Paris 512-513 and BM 156, which are also underweight and in similar style, and write VR for VIR in their reverse legend, though their obverse legend is correct.

Macedonia’s long staff held with half-raised left arm may be a new variant; usually she holds a much shorter whip with lowered left arm.

Rx: PAR - TH - IA around, COS II in exergue, S - C in field, Parthia standing l. holding golden crown in r. hand and empty quiver in l. hand. Antoninus’ rare province series of 139 AD, which appeared on bronze coins only, commemorated the traditional donation of golden crowns to a new emperor by the provinces and by client kingdoms, the entire amount of which Antoninus is reported to have remitted to the people of Italy, and half to the inhabitants of the provinces. In her left hand Parthia normally holds a bow and a quiver full of arrows, but on our coin the bow and arrows are omitted and she holds an empty quiver only. A rare and interesting historical type, possibly an unpublished variant without bow and arrows in addition to the quiver as Parthia’s attribute on reverse. EF.......5500 367.

The discus scene portrays a man sounding his horn in a “watch-hut”, a dog chasing a rabbit, and a thief hanging from the hut with grapes around his neck. This may illustrate one of the biblical parables of the vineyard in Mathew 21:33-43 and the song of the vineyard in Isaiah 5:1-7. There is an appointed watchman for the hut above a vineyard. He sounds his horn to chase a thief away. Maybe a metaphor for Christ notifying his people of the wandering devil.

With its stylized wide eyes and smooth surfaces, the piece is an excellent example of the almost modernistic Bengal style, which in sharp contrast to other Indian sculptural styles is empty and unornamented in its display of elemental forms. This anachronistically modern Bengali approach inspired the famous modern Indian painter Janmini Roy. Expert restoration to left hand, otherwise excellent condition. H. 5” L. 7” (12.7 cm x 17.8 cm)...............................................................800 506. INDIAN BRONZE BENGAL BABY KRISHNA, ca. 19th Century AD.

NEPALESE COPPER LAKHE FESTIVAL MASK, ca. 19th Century AD. Originally Lakhe or Lakey was a forest demon in Newar folklore of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. He was converted from his former nasty ways by villagers and put to good. He became a popular and playful protector of the Newar – a good demon working on the inside to ward away those demons still bad. The mask is made of copper repousse. It now has a green patina on much of its surface. Such masks were painted bright red with black and white detailing and black bear or yak fur was sewn around the edges. D. 10 1/2” (26.7 cm)......................................................................................750 509. PERSIAN QAJAR GLAZED VESSEL, ca. late 19th Century AD.
