COMBINATION LOTS

Combination lots are grouped artifacts that consist of smaller objects from a mixture of cultures and periods. These are offered at lower prices, allowing general collectors to obtain an assortment of objects, including: scarabs, crucifixion nails, crosses, oil lamps and pottery, cylinder and stamp seals, arrowheads, spear points, swords and framed antiquities.

Some types of combination lots offered are:

• Terracotta Oil Lamps - Historically one of the most widely-used, widely-crafted and manufactured forms of ancient pottery in the world, oil lamps would have been a daily necessity for every ancient household as the primary source of light. These lamps range from the most simple, utilitarian design, to more elaborate and ornate examples decorated with human or animal figures. Many of these lamps still bear traces of carbon residue around the wick openings, evidence of their ancient use.
• Jewelry - A wide range of jewelry items are available in combination lots, from Macedonian coin broaches to beaded necklaces from the near East and the Levant inlaid with lapis lazuli, Egyptian mummy beads, and cross pendants. We also have reliquaries from the Byzantine period worked in bronze, silver or enamel, and loose beads made from stone, glass, and other materials. Some lots also include more modern items of cultural or historic interest.
• Day-to-day Objects - These combination lots also feature numerous objects of ancient and more modern origin that reflect various historic and cultural practices, ranging from ancient bronze clothing pins, medical instruments, and broaches to Civil War era belt buckles and lead bullets. Any collector of historical objects should be able to find something to pique their interest from one of these assortments.
