CONDITION: Very good though bears evidence of a very neat. Professional repair. Minor scratches and scuffs consistent with use and then burial in soil. DETAIL: This is a very handsome. Complete second century A.D. Roman glass perfume bottle(or“unguentarium” which possesses a light iridescent burial patina with purple, pink, blue and green highlights. Most Roman glass vessels recovered complete(intact or repairable) are between 1½ and 3 inches in size– this one obviously exceeds the high end of this scale. However though complete, in a sense it is not intact. The glass perfume bottle was broken, whether in ancient times or perhaps when it was excavated, as there is a fairly clean break toward the bottom. The repair however seems to have been made with bitumen(tar) which would indicate that the repair was ancient. Some of the bitumen has been lost, so there is a small hole in the side of the bottle. But it appears to have been repaired and reused in ancient Rome– a rather uncommon find. Small jars. Pitchers, unguentariums, jugs, bottles, jars and flasks like this were used to contain aromatic oils, perfumes, medicinal ointments, and cosmetics. It is not to say that the Romans did not use larger pieces of glass on their tables such as bowls and cups; and even larger containers for transporting foodstuffs; because they did. In fact whatever the Romans had produced in clay in the first and second centuries B.C. was by the first and second centuries A.D. more common

Regna, ... moreStatus& Populos Divisa, ad Usum Ludovici XV, Galliarum Regis. Carte d'Amerique Dressee pour l'Usage du Roy. Description: An uncommon variant on Guillaume Delisle's map of America incorporating theories regarding the Sea of the West. Delisle's map covers both North and South America as well as the West Indies. The Atlantic Ocean, and parts of Africa and Europe, including England, Ireland, France, Italy, and Spain. It is no accident that Delisle chose to include these few Western European nations, for his goal was not only to represent the New World, but to express both connection and continuity with the Old World. To bring this further into context, Delisle includes the Treaty of Tordesillas Line running vertically through the Grand Banks and South America. This line, drawn in 1494 by Pope Alexandre VI(the map incorrectly states 1493) was intended to divide the New World between Portugal and Spain. This map was first issued by Delisle in 1722 and quickly became one of the most published maps of the 18th century, passing through numerous states and editions. The present example represents the sixth state and a particularly scarce variant, updated to incorporate the Sea of the West- a concept increasing popular among European speculative of positivistic cartographers of the mid-18th century. The Sea of the West is most often presented as a vast inland body of water, often with islands, situated somewhere north of California and west of Lake Winnipeg. It is derived from a combination of wishful thinking, fictitious memoires, and misinterpretation of factual exploration. As presented here, the Sea of the West extends inland from entrances associated with the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Martin de Aguilar, both factual explorers. Aguilar, sailing in 1682, apparently sited a'rapid and abundant' river that he could not explore because of the s

ORIGIN: 19th Century Ceylon. Handcrafted in Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 8mm. Width: 6mm. Depth: 3mm. Measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 1.91 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Legends from ancient India’s distant past relate that God first created ruby and later created man to possess it. And that he who offered rubies to the gods would be reincarnated as a powerful king or emperor. In ancient India rubies were also 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. In Sanskrit, one of the ancient languages of India, ruby was called"ratnaraj" which means"King of Gems" To them, this fiery stone burned with an inextinguishable fire, capable of boiling the water in which it was placed. In nearby ancient Burma it was believed that a ruby must not just be worn, but embedded in the skin to become part of the body, thus making the wearer invulnerable. Celebrating this cultural legacy here a nice. Fairly decent quality antique hand faceted ruby oval. Hand crafted 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. Originally used in indigenous jewelry, this is a very pretty precious gemstone, with a highly desirable bright blood raspberry red color and rich texture. It is by and large eye clean, of higher value transparent/translucent character as opposed to lower value opaque rubies. Of course most ruby g

CONDITION: Very Good! Completely intact. Moderately light wear evidenced consistent with ancient usage. Very faint porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A very well preserved silver ring circa 9th or 10th century A.D. As you can see. The ring is very handsome and elegant in design. The"bezel" or face of the ring bears a very distinct abstract design, however though we’ve scrutinized the engraved design carefully, we’re unable to determine what it represents. Some believe it to be the abstract representation of a shaman’s face. However it seems most likely to be the abstract representation of two stags with antlers locked in combat. Given the cultural popularity of such depictions in the region during the ancient and medieval world, this seems most likely. This is a fairly light weight ring, more like a contemporary ring than the thick and lumpy rings often produced during the early years of the Roman Empire. It is a very handsome and complex design, and probably was a very significant personal possession of whomsoever originally owned the ring. There are unmistakable indications that the ring was worn fairly often by whomsoever the ancient owner was. But the ring is in no way“worn out” Before expressing dismay over the fact that the ring evidences some wear, you must keep in mind that the ring was produced by an artisan and sold to a patron or consumer wit
