• CIRCLE OF ADRIAEN THOMASZ KEY (FLEMISH
  CIRCLE OF ADRIAEN THOMASZ KEY (FLEMISH 1544-1590) A LOW...circle of ADRIAEN THOMASZ KEY (Flemish 1544-1590) A LOW COUNTRY RENAISSANCE PAINTING, "Portrait of a Gentleman in a Ruff Collar and Gorget," 16TH/17TH CENTURY, oil on canvas, inscribed U/L, "Johan. Upchierts.," 22 1/4" x 17", framed, 32" x 26". Note: The painting demonstrates both Flemish and Spanish styles demonstrated in 16th/17th-century portraiture. The clear light and rosy cheeks above a delicate ruff collar belie the influence of Flemish portrait style. The gorget with gilt rivets was typically made of metal and/or leather. The gorget was worn by men of military rank, ambassadors, and diplomats to protect from lance and sword strikes, falling out of fashion as firearms technology advanced. The sitter effects a watchful and attentive expression; his eyes dart to his proper right over a sloping nose with a straight and narrow bridge. He has distinctively shaped ears, which are only outweighed by a pale forehead. A trimmed mustache reveals his closed lips over a long goatee; the sitter evokes the noble countenance of the Spanish Kings Philip II and Philip III. Provenance: Roy Precious Antiques and Fine Art, Wilshire, United Kingdom; Norris Castle, Isle of Wight, England Condition: Laid to secondary canvas, probable inpainting, craquelure, darkening of paint, and overall in stable, good condition.

• MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL
  MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL FIGURENative American, United States, Eastern Woodland, Mississippian, ca. 200 to 1500 CE. This is a beautiful and rare incised and openwork gorget made from a white shell featuring a head in profile with an elaborate headdress. The face, likely male, is incised into the surface wearing intricate knotted and woven adornments: a headdress, earrings, and necklace. The lips are slightly parted- the protruding piece that supports the openwork head, could represent a tongue or beak. The edges of the disc are incised with stippled and linear decoration and the openwork holes enabled suspension to use as a pectoral pendant or gorget. Mississippian shell gorgets are special items for adornment and burial that carried protective powers and iconography of supernatural beings that represented the 3 realms: the celestial Aboveworld, Middle World or earth, and Underworld. Size: 2" Diameter x 0.12" Thick (5.1 cm x 0.3 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand. Provenance: private Hidden Valley Lake, California, USA collection; ex-private California, USA collection All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

• RARE MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL
  RARE MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL FIGURES...Native American, Southeastern United States, Eastern Woodland, Mississippian, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. This is a beautiful and rare incised and openwork gorget made from a white shell featuring 2 stylized male figures. The discoidal piece is pierced at the top with two perforations for suspension to use as a pectoral pendant or gorget. The figures are overlapping, their bodies diagonally positioned crossing at the waists, the heads facing each other in profile. Both are dressed in ornate headdresses and jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, and waist cloths with beaded or woven patterns that are likely ceremonial attire. The areas of cut outs accentuate the figures and add symmetry to the nearly identical men. Mississippian shell gorgets are special items for adornment and burial that carried protective powers- the cross in a circle was a sacred cosmological symbol of regeneration and the intersections of the Underworld and Aboveworld. Size: 4.5" L x 0.25" W (11.4 cm x 0.6 cm); 5.5" H (14 cm) on included custom stand. Provenance: private Hidden Valley Lake, California, USA collection All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

• MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL NECKLACE W/ WOODPECKER
  MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL NECKLACE W/ WOODPECKER GORGETNative American, Southeastern United States, Tennessee, Greene County, Mississippian, ca. 1250 to 1450 CE. A lovely necklace strand comprised of over 100 thick discoidal beads carved from shell, and a central gorget shell pendant incised with Cox style woodpecker heads! The beads are strung in modern times on a wire, the gorget at the center threaded through the hand-drilled suspension holes. The slightly curved face is incised with the cross in circle solar motif and four woodpecker heads around the outer edge. Gorgets signified rank and power, the woodpecker- especially the large ivory-billed woodpecker (recently declared extinct in 2021) was an emblem of power and wealth- their beaks and red feathers used for trade and ornaments. This necklace is displayed in modern Riker case. Size (strand doubled): 17" L (43.2 cm); (gorget pendant): 2" Diameter (5.1 cm); (case): 12.25" L x 8.25" W (31.1 cm x 21 cm) In an entry for the "Tennessee Encyclopedia" published October 8, 2017, titled "Cox Mound Gorget," C. Andrew Buchne writes: "Cox Mound gorget has three important iconographic elements. In the center is a cross inside a rayed circle or sun motif. The cross is symbolic of the sacred, or council, fire. The sun represents the sky deity and/or mythical ancestors. Surrounding the cross and sun is a scroll-like design element known as the looped square. This feature may represent wind, or possibly the litter on which subordinates carried a chief. Typically the looped square is composed of four lines, but in some cases only three lines are used. Four crested bird heads, which most scholars interpret as woodpeckers, are found on the outer edge. The woodpecker heads always are oriented in a counterclockwise direction, suggestive of the prehistoric Native American swastika."
