24034 SPA Nov 18 Cover.indd 4 23/10/2018 14:30 This is the sixth annual Summers Place Evolution auction, and this year’s selection is as fine, if not finer, than any that have gone before. The sheer variety and quality of the items featured is staggering in its intensity, and such is the intrinsic fascination of so many of the lots that it is difficult to choose highlights. Even the less highly priced items are wonderful examples of their kind.

Meteorites are always objects that arouse a great curiosity, and this is for a variety of reasons - not least among them being the idea that some people have, that these heavenly fragments were the means of first bringing life to Earth. Among those offered here are two truly enormous and rare examples of what are known as Gibeon meteorites. These particular meteorites come only from Namibia, and are so highly prized that export from that land is no longer permitted. These two marvellous examples have been in the UK for many decades, however, and arrived here when it was possible to acquire such rare things. It is now virtually impossible to find specimens that even begin to approach these in size!

As always, we have some stunning fossils, including a wonderfully decorative and truly ancient crinoid. There are also examples of more recent extinct creatures - a South American cotingas, antique examples of which mammoth and a moa. are these days regrettably stripped of their feathers by fly tying enthusiasts; these, however, are still in perfect Exquisite mineral specimens are increasingly sought after condition.

The indigenous Nama people used pieces that they found to make tools. The first European to come across pieces was a Captain Alexander in 1836 and he sent samples to London which were analysed by John Herschel who could confirm their extra terrestrial origin. Pieces are found over a large area of some 275km by 100km and rightly their removal and export was banned. The largest pieces found, up to 500KG, have been incorporated into a fountain in the capital, Windhoek and are a designated National monument. They were found near the village of Gibeon leading to the naming of the meteorite after that place. The nature of this meteorite is a fine octahedrite, mainly being iron and nickel but with significant amounts of phosphorous and cobalt. Its crystal structure gives rise to particularly clear Widmanstatten patterns making it one of the most desirable of meteorites. To be able to offer two such exceptionally large pieces from an old collection is a real rarity and an opportunity we are unlikely to be able to repeat. £30,000-50,000

This Octahedrite iron meteorite fell to earth about one million years ago, recent research suggest that it was from the core or mantle of a planetoid that broke up on entry to the earth’s atmosphere. Since its fall to Earth the fragments have been through four separate Ice Ages and are found in glacial moraine deposits which explains the heavily weathered surface sometimes with associated pebbles cemented on. This particularly large piece has not been cleaned since its discovery.

No articulated skeleton of a Moa has been offered for sale at auction in Britain since the 1930s and it is unlikely that one will be offered again. Several different kinds of Moa are recognized and this particular example comes from a bird that belongs to the genus Pachyornis. Rather like an Emu in overall shape these creatures dominated the New Zealand landscape until the coming of man around a thousand years ago. The Moas of New Zealand are among the most famous of all extinct creatures. There were several different species ranging in size from birds the size of a swan to gigantic creatures that stood over 4 metres in height - the tallest birds known. The last of them are thought to have died out four or five hundred years ago, although there are rumours that some may have lingered on until the nineteenth century. Their bones occur in swamps and cave deposits on both of the main islands of New Zealand, but complete articulated skeletons are exceptionally rare, perhaps even unique, in private hands. £20,000-30,000

Considered the most sacred of masks, the Baule make use of the bo nun amuin mask (meaning ‘gods of the bush’ or ‘gods risen from the bush’) to protect the village from outsider threats. The mask is also used during funerals of important male elders, former dancers and chiefs. Danced only at night, it is believed that the mask helps deceased elders become ancestors in the afterlife; these ancestors bring good fortune to the community and aid in the prevention of external threats. This double mouthed variety, that allows the spirit to see in all directions,has random elements attached: crocodile ,leopard, antelope, etc. The mask has been repainted - not unusual for headdresses that were valued and thus used and re-used. It retains a good patina and fair condition. £1800-2200

They come in a variety of geometric form, taking on the shape of a hollowed, stylised figure that combines human and animal features. Most have a hole or some device for the attachment of a carry strap in string, cloth or leather. Mouthpiece up the flutes resemble buffalo heads; hanging inverted they suggest the human form. Whistles are usually tuned to play up to three notes and may be used alone or played in sets to produce a scale. Sound is made when a player blows air across a sharp edge - in this case between the crescent-shaped ends. Rulers throughout the many Kingdoms in the Cameroon Grassland region (Bamileke -Bamum -Tikar) employed a range of Regalia to assert their political, economic and religious power. Presented publicly in lavish displays of wealth and power, many court objects were distinguished by their elaborate bead embroidery. Imported from Venice, Bohemia or Amsterdam, glass beads were considered a luxury material whose use and distribution were controlled by the King. The decoration of objects with vast quantities of brilliantly coloured beads transformed utilitarian objects into symbols of royal status and prestige. £4300-4700

They are inspired by the very old and rare Atwonzen beaded skulls created for Bamileke King. They originate from the kingdoms located in the Dschang region. These representations consistently portray the skulls of enemies and are all formed out of a wooden core covered in fabric and decorated with beads, each example offers a unique interpretation. Highly symbolic, these depictions of enemies’ heads, wooden or the real skulls themselves, were carried by rulers on ceremonial occasions and during certain warrior dances such as the tso or nzen. The Small Ceremonial Heads were carried by the representatives of the important families. They were often covered with the same type of beads and designs; whereas the Royal Atwonzens had unique embroideries. One is represented in the The Caroline and Marshall Mount collection. £4300-4700

Women and children were not allowed to look at them closely. Worn horizontally over the head, the masquerader performs fast, strenuous but controlled stamping movements under the weight of a heavy raffia costume. When not in use, goli masks are kept in the bush. The mask has been repainted - not unusual for headdresses that were valued and thus used and re-used. It retains a good patina and fair condition. Picasso had a similar mask in his collection, which was supposedly the model for the zoomorphic head of the ‘Guernica’. The Baule are one of the Akan peoples. They moved west to the Ivory Coast more than 200 years ago and adapted masking traditions from their neighbours, the Guro, Senufo and Yaure peoples. There are four basic types used in a special dance of rejoicing called Goli,a recent import from the Wan ethnic group, believed to come into use among the Baule after 1910. Goli is a day long celebration usually performed during the funeral of high ranking and respected community members. Sources point to the Goli dance providing not only entertainment but also protection for the village in which it is performed. Baule goli performances consist of four red/black, male/female dance mask pairs appearing in a pre-defined order. The masks appear in the following social order: First, a pair of disk masks called kple kple (the junior male; representing youth and weakness); Second, a pair of animal helmet masks called goli glin (the ‘father’ or ancestors; representing strength, amwim bush spirits and forest buffalo); Third, a pair of horned masks called kpan pre (the junior 242 female; representing girls); Fourth, two human- A Helmet Mask “Goli Glin” faced masks with crested coiffure called kpwan (the senior female, representing goli glin’s wife, Baule people, Ivory Coast, overpainted in 1960’s the ideal woman). 80cm high £1800-2200 The Goli Glin mask, representing the Senior male, is aggressively complex and three-dimensional.
