A genuine Bronze OPIUM WEIGHT of MYSTICAL LION CHINTHE, 18/19th Century, Burma. Square base, with 9-rayed star marking on base. 32 gr. (2 tical). Size: 30 mm. height. Dark, naturally aged patina. Very good condition.

Very handsome GANDHARA stucco head sculpture of a young man, quite possibly of Alexander the Great. Stucco, good condition overall, some minor chips and part of back side missing as seen in photographs. Size: H. 1.5" (4 cm.). Rare. Here again, the idealized style is reminiscent of Greek Hellenistic sculpture which strongly influenced the Buddhist imagery of Central Asia and in particular of Gandharan artists.

Large and massive brass Oil Lamp (5 wick burners), 19th Cent. condition: excellent, size: H. 72cm x 20.5cm diameter at base. We also have a smaller pair of the same period/design, size H. 26 cm x 10 cm at base. All in good condition.
