This is a bronze sword dating to the Spring and Autumn period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty of ancient China (circa 770-476 BCE). Swords of this type with a hollow, flared, round handle are somewhat common. What makes this piece particularly rare is the prominent midrib on the blade which is very uncommon on swords of this type. At the guard area, the midrib is 8.5mm wide and the blade at the same area is about 8mm thick. The total length of this sword is 43.5 cm and the weight is 408 grams. It is ...click for details

This is a magnificent greyware vase or hu from ancient China. It dates to at least the Han period (209 BC- 220 AD) but is likely from the Warring States period (circa 500 BC). There are soil encrustations and remnants of root fibers on the surface. There are no signs of repair or restoration. There are taotie handles scultped in the clay to mimic ritual bronze vessels of the same period. This was done because often bronze was too expensive so likenesses were made out of pottery. This piece is la ...click for details

This interesting little piece is part of a collection of antique Chinese iron pole cannons.

This interesting piece is from the Khmer Culture of Southeast Asia, dating to circa the 12th century AD. This piece has three individual parts that all fit together snugly and appear to be original as a set. There does appear to be a repair to one of the handles but both handles are still present. The diameter of the piece is a little over 15.5 cm and the weight of the entire set is 617 gram. This is quite an unusual set and would enhance any antiquities collection.
