Possibly a West Asian brass pipe used for smoking tobacco. The base is roughly circular in diameter with two prongs in four sections going across the piece like a cross. The pipe is covered in an etched detail that consists of birds, foliage, scroll designs and flowers. There is a long metal pole running through the base and the central brazier that ends in a hand holding onto a ring that is in the shape of a creature holding its tail in its mouth. The lid of the brazier lifts up to reveal an almost circular recess within the piece. There is a triangular attachment on the pipe which is not attached and has three chains coming off of it. On the end of each chain is a single instrument, which are a pair of tongs, a small poker and a small chess like piece with a hollow centre and a three leaf design on the top of the piece. There is evidence of what appears to be writing on the base of the stand but it is much worn and indecipherable.

Possible deity or Bodhisattva. The head is oval shaped with oval eyes and sharp heavy lids. A long thin nose with two defined nostrils leads to raised and parted lips with corner cavities at both ends. The head has a prominent voluminous rounded border, presumably hair that overhangs the face and is defined by rows of regular round depressions. Above this is a thick fillet and, from this, the hair is drawn up in straight grooves to a central chignon which is damaged. To the left side of the figure's face is a large curved feature which appears to be too low to represent an ear.

A Roman copper-alloy hinged Headstud (Mackreth's Headstud Type 4) bow brooch dating to the late first or second century AD, part of the Piercebridge River Assemblage. The brooch possesses an integral head loop and extends to flat, rectangular wings which conceal a cylindrical extension plates to secure an axis bar and hinged pin. The pin and axis bar are intact. The wings are decorated with vertical ribs and grooves. The bow is distorted but rectangular in plan, tapering slightly to a forward-facing foot. At the top of the bow is a headstud, with central circular knop. The remainder of the bow is separated into a series of rectangular cells. These are empty or filled with discoloured enamel. The catchplate is trapezoidal and runs nearly the full length of the bow. The brooch measures 55mm in length. The wings measure 19mm in width. The bow at its widest measures 8mm in width and the foot measures 7mm in width. Compare with Butcher and Bayley's Type 149 - a simple hinged Headstud brooch with a fixed headloop (Butcher and Bayley 2004, 165) and Mackreth 2011, Vol. II, 75, no. 11860. Mackreth notes that the 'dating runs from the last quarter of the first century into the second with little sign that any should be dated after 125.'This brooch is distorted and may have been subject to fire or intense heat.

Ceramic box with an off white glaze and blue decoration underneath the glaze. There are multiple metal bands going across the piece, which were added at a later date to cover up the chips to the box. The bands on the top of the box show a central seal with a dragon in the centre, which is then flanked by four dragons in a North, South, East and West direction. The bands continue underneath the box where there is a metal plate in the centre with openwork leaf and clover style patterns. Underneath the metal band on the top there is a man walking amongst an outdoor scene with trees on the right and a full moon overhead. To the left of the scene are four rows of Chinese script, slightly obscured by the metal bands. Along the edge of the box are geometric patterns in the shapes of leaves in a cross shape going all the way around the edge. Within the lid and base of the box are erotic scenes showing a man and a woman copulating. The base of the box shoes them copulating on a terrace with trees, rooftops and other foliage around them. The woman is holding onto the railing of the terrace and is still depicted wearing a floral jacket, whilst the man, situated behind the woman, is still wearing a hat and his shirt - both are nude from the waist down. The image on the inside of the lid shows another terrace scene with foliage at the front and trees to the left. The woman is turned sideways to partially face the man and appears to be holding one leg up in the air. The man is depicted behind her still wearing his shirt and hat. The underside of the box shows a seal consisting of four Chinese characters

Buddhist temple hanging, called pidan. Pidans are Khmer temple hangings that display Buddhist narrative iconography and were commissioned as pious donations. They were used as the wall-hangings or ceilings over sculptures. Pidan textiles were also presented on the passage rites ceremonies like weddings or funerals. During the period of Red Khmer terror almost all pidans in Cambodia were destroyed._x000D__x000D_ This example of a pidan in the shape of an oblong dark red silk cloth is intricately patterned using the weft resist tie-dyed method called ikat, in Khmer referred to as hol. The main section of the hanging is framed by a thin yellow stripe with two sets of four yellow stripes and short black warp fray along the length of the object. The pattern of the pidan consists of a repeating composition (in all five times). The composition can be divided into three parts from top to bottom to explain the image more easily. A dancing man holding some kind of ornaments (possibly flowers) and a temple with a curving roof and three people inside are located at the top part of the image. In the middle a man sitting on a platform in the lotus position (possibly Buddha) with a frame like structure above his head is accompanied with two standing people holding ornaments in their hands next to him. The bottom part consists of a man standing next to an elephant on a platform with raised trunk facing men, a donkey facing back of the elephant and another man sitting or standing on top of the elephant and holding ornaments in his hands. All above mentioned sections are integral parts of the composition_x000D__x000D_ The people pictured in the composition are wearing traditional Khmer clothing and headdresses. Various ornaments representing trees, candle sticks, etc. are also used to decorate the hanging. The colouring of the pidan consists of mainly white (people, elephants and horses), yellow and dark green on a black background.

Dymkovo toy. One of the oldest Russian folk art handicrafts, Dymkovo toys (Russian: Дымковская игрушка), also known as the Vyatka toys or Kirov toys are moulded painted clay figures of people, animals or imaginary creatures (sometimes in the form of a whistle) made in a village of Dymkovo, Kirov Oblast. About 400 years' worth of tradition of Dymkovo toys was transmitted from generation to generation exceptionally by women lineage and traces back its origin to agricultural calendar holidays. _x000D__x000D_ This example of Dymkovo toys depicts a vivid and cheerful cow. The figure stands on four long broadly spread legs (left leg in the back had been broken off, the part is present) which slightly narrows to the soles. The black interwoven tail is attached the right leg in the back. The cow has a proportional body with long neck and a nice head with pointed horns in orange. The top of the head is decorated with horizontal black braid. Nicely done ears are attached to an almost cylindrical muzzle in the same line as black painted eyes. A curved black dewlap goes from the muzzle to the end of the brisket. A yellow udder with four teats is moulded near the back legs. The figure is painted in white with patterns of orange circles and black shapes. It is traditionally decorated with now greyed square patches of gilt on the both horns and four legs._x000D__x000D_ A white paper sticker with Russian inscription which is indecipherable in some places is attached to the bottom of the cow's body. The Russian inscription: '... РСФСР г. Киров автор Ф. ...'; English translation 'RSFSR (stands for Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) g. (stands for city) Kirov author F.'. According to this information the toy was made in the period 1917 - 1993 in city Kirov.

A silver container, with a painted mother of pearl design. The container itself is decorated around the outside with a design of 36 engraved triangles, alternating between pointing up and pointing down; these triangles are filled with small circles. The lid has a lacquered, painted mother of pearl disc at the centre, showing a countryside scene with hills, trees and grass. The focus is on four characters mounted on horseback - one wearing dark blue on a white horse, a second wearing light blue on a brown horse, the third wearing green on a black horse, and the fourth wearing the same shade of blue as the first on a yellow horse. All four figures are wearing traditional Persian robes and headwear. Additionally, all four appear to be wielding hammers, and there is a small dot in the middle of the scene which resembles a ball - it is likely that the figures are playing polo, which originated in Persia, Inside, there is no decoration, but there are some finger marks and what looks like the remnants of what the container once held.

Large figure of Mechagodzilla with card packaging._x000D__x000D_ _x000D__x000D_ The model is of a silvery grey plastic with details painted in dark grey and red, and yellow eyes with no pupils. The figure is largely shaped like a tyrannosaurus rex with two upright legs on large feet with four claws, an upright torso and two short arms, also with four claws. There is a long neck with a proportionally small head. There are spines running down the back of the head from a crest and along the length of a tail that runs along the ground behind the figure. The spines begin as a single line and spread across the shoulders to three parallel lines that run all the way to the tip of the tail, which divides into three points. The whole figure is in a robotic style, with hydraulic looking joints that include discs and hoses. There are rockets on the shoulders running down the back. The chest is moulded like an exaggerated human chest but with hinges at both sides. Most of the joints are not flexible, with the exception of the shoulder joints, which are opposable. The model is made up of distinct parts that have been joined; this includes the tail, which is joined at the back to the lower torso, the lower torso and legs which are joined at the waist to the upper torso, the upper torso, which is joined at the waist to the lower torso, the arms which are both joined at the shoulder to the upper torso, and the neck and head which are joined to the upper torso at the base of the neck._x000D__x000D_ _x000D__x000D_ The card packaging is an open card base with a tall backboard, coated in a glossy paper finish. The background is black, with red white and grey printing. The backboard shows a large grey image of Godzilla with his head facing to the left. In the background are red and white stylised images of a cityscape of high rise buildings. On the right is a line of large Japanese characters in white outlined in red reading ゴジラ , "Godzilla". On the front lip is a repeat of the red and white cityscape with a large central inscription in grey letters reading "Godzilla". On the sides of the base is the same cityscape with in front of it a black and white image of Godzilla and Mechagodzilla fighting each other. The rear of the backboard is black fading to red in the centre. Across the top is the inscription "Godzilla" in large grey letters. Beneath this is a series of images of model figures of characters from the Godzilla films that are available from the Bandai company. In the centre and larger are the "Deluxe Godzilla Figures" of Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. Below is a line, from left to right of Burning Godzilla, Mechagodzilla the First, King Caesar, Gigan, Rainbow Mothra and Godzilla 1968.

Box/Chest/Casket. Rectangular four-legged box with a gabled lid painted in the manner of a Theban tomb with geometric patterns on the roof and family offering scenes on the sides. The box's short ends depict two versions of the western Asiatic motif: on one end an ornate plant is nibbled by rampant female gazelle's nursing fawns; on the other, nearly full grown fawns with short antlers nibble a composite plant. There is a knob near one end of the roof and another below it on the short side to be used as lashing posts to secure the lid. The box belongs to a man called Perpawty, and is unusual in being painted on all four sides. On one side of the box the figures of Perpawty and his son are depicted in black (silhouette figures).
