A super rare Monopoly set which you will not easily find elsewhere. The set features among the very earliest states of the game having a board with no prices and chance and community chest cards having no graphics. The money is of the earliest design while the 6 playing pieces are wood. Condition is generally very good but the board has some bowing and the box is heavily frayed with some corners split. The game is essentially intact although the instructions are lost. There could be a hotel or house missing but what you see in the picture is what the game posesses. You may find "antique" Monopoly games by the boatload but you will not come across one of these in this condition but once a blue moon. This is a connoisseur's delight. Do not be bashful about asking for more pictures. The set can be dated to no later than August / September 1935 making it a total treasure.   « Less

The creme de la creme of Belleek porcelain is set before your eyes with this very rare tea set. Two qualities make this one stand out. The first is the condition of the set - it is immaculate. But don't let this fool you into thinking it is new. The backstamp on the back is another indicator of the age of the set which dates to c. 1870 or so. These tea services are quite rare in any circumstance but to find one so early is a rare pleasure. The pattern is the classic basket weave so well known and loved of Belleek in the creamy ivory finish. You will have to search high and low to find another one of these and our bet is that you will not be able to find one.   « Less

From ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, ca. 950-700 BC. Lion-headed goddess Sekhmet seated on an open-work throne, the sides of which are decorated with figures of the snake god, Nehebka. The goddess carries a sistrum. Bright blue with added details in black. 6 cm. Sekhmet was the lioness-headed goddess of war and destruction. She was the sister and wife of Ptah. She was created by the fire of Re's eye. Re created her as a weapon of vengeance to destroy men for their wicked ways and disobedience to him (see The Story of Re). Having once unleashed her powers for the destruction of mankind, the Egyptians feared a repeat performance by Sekhmet. The Egyptian people developed an elaborate ritual in hopes she could be appeased. This ritual revolved around more than 700 statues of the goddess (such as the one to the left). The ancient Egyptian priests were required to perform a ritual before a different one of these statues each morning and each afternoon of every single day of every single year. Only by the strictest adherence to this never-ending ritual could the ancient Egyptians be assured of their ability to placate Sekhmet. She is generally portrayed as a woman with the head of a lioness surmounted by the solar disk and the uraeus. The name "Sekhmet" comes from the root sekhem which means "to be strong, mighty, violent". She was identified with the goddess Bastet, and they were called the Goddesses of the West (Sekhmet) and the East (Bastet). Both were shown with the heads of lionesses although Bastet was said to wear green, while Sekhmet wore red.   « Less
