Ancient Egyptian and Islamic Art online at Auctionata
Auctionata will be conducting an online auction of Ancient Egyptian and Islamic Art from two important Collections, on Friday 1 November 2013.
This auction spans treasures and art objects from Oriental dynastic periods that demonstrate the rich cultures of the Near and Middle East. It showcases the fine artistic craftsmanship of the Orient, with a variety of mediums on view including wood, glass, ceramic, jade and bronze.
Among the highlights from this auction are a well-preserved painted model boat from the Middle Kingdom, and the wooden Horus falcon from the late Ptolemaic period. A jade archer’s ring from the 17th Century Mughal Empire impresses with a delicate pale green colour and gently inlaid emeralds and spinels.
