13th-15th century AD. A carved limestone statue depicting a standing torso in full-length robe, partly covered by a cloak pinned at the right shoulder by a disc brooch; the right hand clutching the hem of the cloak and the left hand resting on the globular pommel of a sword in its scabbard suspended from the belt by a second strap; the reverse of the statue flat with angled sides to fit into a niche, with socket and later iron attachment ring; mounted on a rectangular stone block. 300 kg+, 170cm including base (67 (Available to view at our Harwich head office only)"). Property of a Surrey lady; acquired by her father Christopher Terry in the late 1970s-early 1980s; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10813-175467. The representation of the figure and the folds of clothing is quite naturalistic. The format of the sword is rather generic, although the broad guard and pommel are most commonly shown in the period 1050-1300 AD (Oakeshott, E., Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 1991, p.12").
