Ancient Near Eastern Urartian Bronze Belt - 8th Century BC
A rare. Ancient Urartian bronze belt, dating to the 8th- 7th Century B.C. The belt of sheet-like form. With peripheral perforation holes for attachment of original fabric lining, now perished. Decorated throughout with raised ridges and incised geometric decoration of remarkable detail. The original ring-buckle, often lost, is present here. This belt. Almost certainly ceremonial(and not intended for everyday use) would originally have been found in an important Urartian burial, probably adorning the body of a wealthy warrior. Belts such as this are almost exclusive to the ancient civilization of Urartu, who were masters of metalworking.1. Urartu is a fascinating and mysterious civilization. Lost from human memory until it was rediscovered in the 1800's. The Urartian culture was located in modern day Eastern Turkey, neighbouring the ancient ... morestates of Media and Babylon, with whom they were often at war. They were accomplished artists, metalworkers and builders, with many fortresses discovered near Lake Van, Turkey.2 Their culture was forgotten for millennia, probably as a result of its mysterious, abrupt and complete destruction in the second half of the 7th Century BC. Urartu seems to have been absorbed into the Armenian kingdom and some scholars believe the name Armenia actually derives from the ancient Urartian region of Arme.3. Maximum diameter: 14 3/4 inches. Thickness of belt: 4 1/4 inches. Condition: Excellent. Back stabilised. Only minor restorations to the edge. Mounted on a custom-made acrylic support. Published: Born& Seidl. Schutzwaffen aus Assyrien und Urartu, Vol 4, Sammlung Axel Guttman, 1995(Mainz) p.158-159. Copies of relevant pages. Which include a detail photo and discussion(in German) will be provided to the purchaser. Provenance: Ex Collection of Axel Guttmann. Berlin; acquired in London in 1995.

Ancient Near Eastern Urartian Bronze Belt with Mythological Animals 700 BC
A large and well provenanced ancient Urartian bronze belt. Dating to the 8th- 7th Century B.C. The ornately decorated belt of sheet-like form. With peripheral perforation holes for attachment of original fabric lining, now perished.

The Urartian culture was located in modern day Eastern Turkey, neighbouring the ancient states of Media and Babylon, with whom they were often at war. They were accomplished ... moreartists, metalworkers and builders, with many fortresses discovered near Lake Van, Turkey. Their culture was forgotten for millennia, probably as a result of its mysterious, abrupt and complete destruction in the second half of the 7th Century BC. Urartu seems to have been absorbed into the Armenian kingdom and some scholars believe the name Armenia actually derives from the ancient Urartian region of Arme. This belt. Almost certainly ceremonial(and not intended for everyday use) would originally have been found in an important Urartian burial, probably adorning the body of a wealthy warrior. Belts such as this are almost exclusive to the ancient civilization of Urartu, who were masters of metalworking. Compare a now in the British Museum. And auctioned over 10 years ago.

The ancient Persians believed that the ... moreEarth was imbedded into a gigantic blue Sapphire stone. And the sky reflected its beautiful color. They referred to the sapphire as"the gem of the heavens” In ancient Persia, ground sapphire was used as an all purpose medicine. One ancient recipe to enhance eyesight was to powder the stone and mix it with vinegar. The same recipe was used to treat nosebleeds. Sapphires were also used to treat fevers and rheumatism. When treating boils and external ulcers, they were ground and mixed with milk. The paste was then applied to the afflicted area. Here are two gorgeous, vibrantly colored natural bright blue sapphire precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of(Siberia) Russia. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“brilliant cut” round, the contemporary finish generally given to round diamonds. The results are two exquisite and incredibly beautifully colored precious gemstones with lots of depth, fire and sparkle. The color is colored a regal blue, much lighter than inky"midnight blue" African or Australian sapphires, more along the lines of the medium blue of sapphires from Ceylon and Siam.

Antique Pearl Ancient Hindu Dewdrops Sacred to Lord Vishnu Sterling Size Size 8
Antique Black Cultured Pearls set into Sterling Silver Ring Size 8(NOT cheap electroplate) pearl averages about 1 1/2 carat. Is about 6 millimeters in diameter.

And not the setting, we can dismount the gemstone and offer you the gemstone without the setting. Just let us know, and yes, we’ll discount the price by the cost of the setting. DETAIL: The ancient Hindus believed that pearls were dewdrops that fell at night into the sea and collected in oysters. The pearl(mukta” in Sanskrit) was associated with many Hindu deities. The most famous being the Koustubha which Lord Vishnu wore on his ... morechest. According to the accounts of Marco Polo, the kings of Malabar(near present-day Calicut, Kerala, India) wore a necklace of 108 rubies and 108 precious pearls which was given from one generation of kings to the next. Celebrating our inheritance from the ancient world, here is a very beautiful cultured pearl ring. The pearl itself had been sitting in a warehouse in Hyderabad, India for decades– perhaps since the early 1950’s. We mounted the pearl onto high quality– not cheap silver plated– contemporary sterling silver USA manufactured ring. This is first-quality jewelry designed to last years and years, not cheap costume jewelry. If you prefer, we could remount it onto 14kt solid gold ring. The pearl possesses a highly polished, reflective, lustrous surface with iridescent highlights. It is about six millimeters in diameter, and weighs about one and one-half carat. And yes, these images are of the actual ring offered. PEARL HISTORY: The pearl is likely the first gemstone known to prehistoric man. A fragment of the oldest known pearl jewelry.

Rise of Cities Rome Babylon Ur Assyria Jericho Sumer Iran Anatolia Egypt Indus
The Rise of Cities TimeFrame: The Urban Pioneers. The Classical Achievement, the Orient Ascendant, Rebirth in the West, the Grand Design, the Age of Metropolis. DESCRIPTION: Hardback: 176 pages. Publisher: Time-Life Books Inc; 1991) The Time Frame series was released in the late 80's-early 90's. Each volume undertakes to describe the major events that happened in one specific time period in the development of mankind’s civilization(s) The volumes are richly illustrated. And designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like– their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and ... moreRome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there. The entire series is truly a magnificent introduction to the history of the era. If you could have just one book(or series of books) to introduce the history of humankind. This would have to be it. The overviews are concise and well-written. Together with the illustration and pictures they impart a wonderful mental and emotional“picture” of what life must have been like in various civilizations and at various times. Done in a style so wonderfully characteristic of Time-Life’s publications, these are over-sized“coffee table” type books full of impressive imagery. The pictures of the world’s greatest art and architecture alone are worth the cost of these books. But don’t get the impression that these volumes are“fluff” While a particular volume might not quite take the place as a university degree, the material is well-written, informative, and immensely intellectually gratifying, overview though it might be. This particular volume is titled“The Rise of the Cities” The material is divided into

Ancient Rare Luristan Decorative Bronze Ibex 900-800 BC
The Ancient Luristan Community- Bronze Artwork The term'Luristan' references artifacts made by a society of semi-nomadic people that once lived in the mountainous region of Northwest Iran. The Luristan bronzes were crafted by the earliest existence of the Median empire. The Medes were Indo-Iranian people originally from central Asia who settled in Northwest Iran in the 9th century BC and later defeated the Assyrian empire in 614 BC. Their success is short-lived and their empire which once stretched from central Iran to the Persian Gulf and Anatolia was overrun in 550 BC by the Persians. The people living in the mountains of Luristan seemed to have been fascinated by the animal kingdom. Since the bronzes depict animals, birds, fish, and insects both cast in bronze and incised on bowls and plaques. Wild life that was local to the region ... moreincludes the mountain goat(ibex) Mountain sheep, deer, bear, fox, and boar. Lions, leopards, panthers, and antelopes are also illustrated; they may all have been native to the region in early times. The monkey, shown infrequently, was a curiosity that may have been shown by traveling entertainers. The domestic animals and fowl include the horse, sheep, goat, pig, bull, cow, camel, dog, rooster, duck, goose, and dove. Not domesticated were the bee, eagle, snake, fish, crane, and frog. Many fantastic animals are found among the bronzes. Some have been provided with wings. A mark of association with divinities. Some are composite animals, some have human faces and some animals have plant forms growing out of their backs. Their bronze work is characterized by ornamentation that includes the free use of animal and demonic human forms applied to such products as weapons, horse fittings, and jewelry. About this Bronze Pendant One of our favourite and most precious items. This gorgeous and extremely rare Luristan bronze pendant depicts an ibex, bearing crisp and def

2 Antique 19thC Sapphires Ancient Gemstones of Saturn Gemstones
Two Nineteenth Century Antique Handcrafted Genuine Natural Russian Quarter Carat Faceted Bright Pastel Mint Green Sapphire Squares. CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Pastel Mint Green Sapphire Squares. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: 3 1/4mm Square. Depth: 2mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 0.48 carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Many linguists and scholars believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to the planet Saturn” in many different languages) Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles. Not only did sapphire help to get in touch with astral and psychic ... morerealms. But the stone also provided protection for those who took those journeys. Here are two gorgeous, richly colored natural pastel mint green sapphire precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of(Siberia) Russia. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. The results are two exquisitely colored precious gemstones with lots of depth, fire and sparkle. They look just like little green diamonds. The gorgeous mint green tones are quite exquisite, and to the eye, these gemstones are without blemish. That is not to suggest they are absolutely flawless, as these 600% photo enlargements here will reveal them to have occasional blemishes composed of colorless crystalline material. However to the eye, they are without discernible blemish. Good quality green sapphires are in high demand, and can be quite costly. Unfortunately most seemingly flawless, transparent"sapphires" sold even by the largest and most reputable retailers in the United States are synthetic(read the fine print; and the sam

Climate Man & History Prescient Study Fall of Romans Vikings Hanseatic Hardcover
Climate. Man, and History by Robert Claiborne. DESCRIPTION: Hardback: 444 pages. Publisher: W.W. Norton& Company Inc. 1970) The story of how climate has helped shape human destiny is an intriguing puzzle which has long fascinated Robert Claiborne. Who finally decided it was time for a book to tackle the subject critically. The result is an absorbing exploration of how climate has effected mankind’s history. After an account of precisely what climate is and what determines it, the author examines the interrelationship between the earth’s climate and the evolution of mankind and civilization. The challenges of different climates, and the development of tools to cope with them, stimulated man to lift himself out of savagery, changing from wandering hunter and food gatherer to village farmer and literate city dweller. Where the climactic ... morechallenge was too severe or too feeble, civilization developed more slowly, or not at all. The impact of climate on history– the end of the Roman Empire, the rise and fall of the Vikings, and the Hanseatic League of Medieval Northern Europe, among other events– is discussed, and finally the author raises questions for the future. How is man influencing climate? Can he control it, and if he can, will he? CONDITION: 1) Used average condition. PLEASE SEE IMAGES BELOW FOR JACKET DESCRIPTION(S) AND FOR PAGES OF PICTURES FROM INSIDE OF BOOK. PLEASE SEE PUBLISHER. PROFESSIONAL, AND READER REVIEWS BELOW. PUBLISHER REVIEW: The Story of climate and man's development. An absorbing. Frequently irreverent exploratory narrative of the how, when, and why of climate and its effects on man and history. The author examines the inter-relationships of man's evolution and climatic changes, how the advance and retreat of the glaciers put a heavy premium on man's adaptability, and how climate influenced racial differences. PROFESSIONAL REVIEW: The story of how climate has helped shape human history is an intriguing puzzle composed of many oddly shaped pieces: fossil relics of extinct plants

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: The horse-mounted tribes of Central Asia(Huns. Scythians, Cimmerians, Avars, Magyars, Mongols) wore turquoise talismans with the belief that they would protect against falls, particularly those from horseback. Turquoise was mined by the ancient Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula from around 6,000 B.C. onwards in one of the world's first important hard-rock mining operations. Archaeological ... moreevidence suggests that by 4,000 B.C. the turquoise mines in the Sinai had already been exhausted, so popular was turquoise in the ancient world. Fortunately the ancient world had a second source of turquoise, ancient Persia. Here are two gorgeous gemstone quality turquoise gemstones of the most sought-after"robin's egg blue" variety, from ancient Persian mines in modern-day Iran. This particular variety of turquoise is found only in this region of the Middle East, and these gemstones possess exceptionally vibrant blue tones. The gemstones were hand shaped and polished by 18th century Russian artisans into these vibrantly hued ovals for use in indigenous jewelry. Though Russian turquoise was and remains plentiful in Siberia. Persian turquoise was traditionally used in the most costly jewelry– highly valued for its bright blue tones. Turquoise was especially popular in Renaissance era jewelry for those of royal and noble birth– as the gemstone was quite expensive in relative terms. These two gemstones are of exceptional quality, unblemished by the inclusions which are normally found interlaced within lower grade turquoise gemstones. It is difficult to fi

WEIGHT: Approximately 0.65 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles. Not only did sapphire help to get in touch with astral and psychic realms. But the stone also provided protection for those who took those journeys. On the flip side, Medieval populations believed that wearing a sapphire as a talisman was an antidote ... moreto black magic and effects of evil spirits, and provided protection against sorcery. It was believed to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender. Words simply cannot describe how breathtakingly beautiful this precious gemstone is. A gorgeous, brightly colored natural bright canary yellow sapphire precious gemstone from the Southern Ural Mountains of Siberia, Russia, handcrafted into this sparking faceted square in the second half of the 19th century.

The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. The color in hand is ordinarily more honey-amber than appears here in these images which exaggerate the yellow. Depending upon the intensity and whiteness of the light, the color will vary from a bright canary yellow, almost like crystallized sunshine with sparkles which seem almost metallic, to a bright canary yellow with amber-honey undertones. Indoors it has honey u

Antique 19thC 3ct India Ruby Ancient Hindu Magic Warrior Invulnerability Amulet
Antique 19th Century Genuine Natural Hand Crafted Faceted Oval Ruby. Faceted Oval Ruby Precious Gemstone is from North East India. 19th Century. Length: 11mm. Width: 9mm. Depth(Thickness) 4mm. Weight: 3 Carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) In Sankskrit. An ancient language of India(source of much of the ancient world's ruby) ruby was called"ratnaraj" which means"King of Gems" Rubies were sorted into upper class, middle class, and lower class stones in relation to their color, flawlessness and beauty. Much like Indian society today, no inferior ruby was allowed contact with an upper class ruby because it was believed the low-caste ruby would contaminate the better one, thereby diminishing its magical powers. Ruby was sometimes worn beneath ... morethe skin by warriors as a protective talisman with the belief that the ruby would give them courage and make them invulnerable. In the ancient classical world, rubies from Afghanistan, Ceylon, and Burma were traded in the ancient port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean(often by Phoenicians) and from there traveled throughout Europe. Here's a beautiful. Nice quality antique oval ruby that originated in Mysore, India. This particular gemstone is known as a"silky" ruby- translucent and not transparent- it is hand shaped and faceted and possesses great color. While not individually discernable, most natural rubies, much more common than clear specimens, have inclusions that contribute to their silky appearance. As long as these inclusions are colorless they are acceptable, changing the gem from transparent to translucent. The rich, ruby red color is preserved and the gemstone is breathtaking in luster. By contrast the highest quality rubies, which can cost thousands of dollars per carat, are completely transparent and appear as colored glass. However most of the“gemstones” which are sold as such high quality rubies are of synthetic manufacture. Read the fine print.

Fabulous 19thC Antique Natural 1/4ct Alexandrite Russia
Exceptionally Good Quality Antique Nineteenth Century Genuine Natural Handcrafted One-Quarter Carat Russian Color Change Faceted Oval Cut Alexandrite Precious Gemstone. CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Alexandrite Oval. ORIGIN: Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 3mm. Thickness(Depth) 2mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 0.21 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Beware! The vast majority of alexandrite offered in the USA is synthetic. The American Gemological Institute estimates that less than 1 in every 100.000 Americans has ever even seen genuine, natural alexandrite. This is a stunning, brilliant, gorgeous, rare, natural green alexandrite gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by ... morea 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. As you can see in these photo enlargements, the gemstone is absolutely clean to the unaided eye of the casual admirer. Even in these 600% photo enlargements it is not easy to discern what blemishes that the gemstone might possess. It may be conservatively described as“eye clean” it is reasonably close to even“loupe clean” The gemstone is green. When it is so inclined, at least. The color under most lighting conditions is the classic alexandrite green, reminiscent of both peridot and emerald. However under strong white light, the stone magically transforms itself into a hue ranging from rose-peach to violet-blue. No matter what light source we used to image this gemstone, whether scanner or camera, it turned color. In hand, under most lighting conditions, it is most assuredly green. But the charm of these remarkable gemstones, at least in the higher qualities, is the dramatic color change they are capable of. And true to its reputation, the light of the scanner turned this precious gemstone a b

The Amarna Age: A Study of the Crisis of the Ancient World by James Baikie. DESCRIPTION: Hardback: 464 pages. Publisher: Kegan Paul; 2004) ISBN: 0710309147. The fourteenth century B.C. saw the age of Tutankhamen and his more illustrious predecessor Akhenaten and his notorious monotheistic zeal. It was an age of widespread intercourse and feverish activity when the city of Amarna stood out as a symbol-the holy city built by Akhenaten. This is a detailed study of the Armana Age. A time of crisis in the ancient world. James Baikie(1866-1931) was also the author of Egyptian Wonder Tales of the Ancient World and Sea-Kings of Crete. CONDITION: Brand new. Unmarked unread hardcover. Mild edge and corner shelfwear to covers. The glossy black covers also evidence very mild scuffing/rubbing(they are very high-gloss, and so show even the slightest scuffing, ... moreeven merely from shelving between the book between other volumes) You have to hold it tilted into the light to see it, it's not readily apparent. But the book, unambigulously and clearly new and unread, does evidence very mild edge and corner shelfwear, as it sat unsold in a bookstore for several years. Condition of the book is otherwise consistent with new stock from an open-shelf book store(such as Barnes& Noble, for instance) wherein patrons are permitted to browse open stock, and so otherwise"new" books often have become cosmetically blemished and/or show a little handling/shelf/browsing wear. PLEASE SEE IMAGES BELOW FOR SAMPLE PAGES FROM INSIDE OF BOOK. PLEASE SEE PUBLISHER. PROFESSIONAL, AND READER REVIEWS BELOW.

Genuine Ancient Roman Judaea Palestine Phoenicia Israel Bronze Bracelet 100AD
Archaic Genuine Ancient Roman Judaean Bronze Bangle circa First Century A.D. CLASSIFICATION: Roman-Judaean Bronze Bangle. Mounted onto plaque or shadow box upon request(additional shipping charges apply) ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire Provinicial Judaea(present-day Israel- Palestine) 1st Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Outside Diameter: 59 x 58 millimeters. Inside Diameter: 50 millimeters. Band Width: 5 millimeters. Band Thickness: 5 millimeters. Weight: 28.69 grams. CONDITION: Good. Intact of sound integrity. Moderately heavy porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A well preserved. Though very simple Roman bronze bracelet circa 1st century AD. It would fit a woman of slender build, and with that caveat, is completely and eminently wearable. The bracelet was recovered unbroken ... moreand intact. As is ordinarily the case, the artifact exhibits moderately heavy porosity(surface pitting caused by burial in earth) Unlike so many smaller bronze artifacts which are completely disfigured by corrosion, this particular piece happened to come to rest in reasonably gentle soil conditions. The consequence is that though you can see clear evidence that this bracelet spent millennia buried beneath the ground, nonetheless to casual examination it is quite pleasant, with the rich, warm glow of ancient bronze. To casual scrutiny it seems simply a primitive bracelet. Of course in these photo enlargements. Or to close scrutiny, these blemishes are quite distinct. The entire bracelet bears witness to the fact that it spent two thousand years buried in soil. It bears little pits, bites, and dimples on every surface. However in hand, worn on the arm, to the casual observer, it simply appears a nicely toned bronze bracelet. Though simple it is sturdy and well constructed, and entirely intact. Despite the obvious signs of burial, the piece is not heavily corroded or disfigured as are commonly most smaller ancient metal artifacts. The bracelet possesses a very nic

2 Antique 19thC 2/3ct Peridot Ancient “Gem of the Sun” Gemstones
Two Antique Genuine Natural Burmese Lime Green Peridot Semi-Precious Gemstone Faceted Rounds. CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Peridot Rounds. ORIGIN: Burma. 19th Century. SIZE: 4mm in diameter. WEIGHT: Approximately 0.66 Carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Due to its yellow green color peridot was known in the ancient world as the"gem of the sun" It was mined on St. John's Island(also called Zebirget) in the Red Sea. Off Egypt, as early as 1500 B.C. The Roman Historian Pliny in his"Natural History" circa 70 A.D. mentions both the island as well as its gemstones, referring to the Red Sea Island as"Chitis" This barren little mound of land was one of the best-guarded areas of the ancient world. The ancient Egyptians valued ... moreperidot so highly that during that period of time that Ancient Egypt controlled the island, guards stationed on the island were given orders to kill anyone approaching the shore without permission. Here are two absolutely gorgeous. Pastel green faceted peridot ovals from Burma. High quality, transparent, at a minimum eye clean, these lustrous semi-precious gemstones possess a beautiful, light, citrus character. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia.
