his ushabti was made for Overseer of the Antechamber, Horiraa.

An important court official during the 26th Dynasty, Reign of Pharaoh Necho II, he was tutor to the pharaoh’s successor Psamtik II. Also referred to as Neferibrenefer (Psamtik II is beautiful), his intact tomb was discovered in 1830 just south of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. The tomb contained hundreds of ushabtis which have been characterized by their grey-green color and fine modelling. Although many of these ushabtis can be found in major American and European Museums today, few are as fine as the one seen here. $20,000 - 30,000

T

his fetish object belongs to a group of female figures now thought of as Khener-dancers, and is one of the best known examples in private hands. These dancers played an important role in rituals to Hathor, the goddess of music, dance, love, fertility, and resurrection. First discovered in tombs from the Middle Kingdom dating to the 12th Dynasty, these female figures were initially interpreted as “brides of the dead” or concubines. Like the wooden paddle dolls that precede them, over the last century these more naturalistic sculptures have been discovered near temples and domestic dwellings leading to an expanded interpretation of their significance.

Molded and glazed in blue faience with black details, this figure’s sensual curves and bright color conveys sexuality and vitality which are inherent qualities of the goddess Hathor. Her upper body is narrow with arms straight and a close-cropped coiffure, while the lower half is swollen with truncated legs and an exaggerated pubictriangle. The object’s overall shape echoes that of a menat, a sacred symbol of Hathor. The crown of the head is drilled with delicate holes for the insertion of real hair, and the numerous dots and dashes across her thighs and stomach symbolize tattoos. These, too, personify attributes of Hathor. In ancient Egypt, hair was seen as a symbol of resurrection for its ability to regenerate after being cut, and lozenge patterned tattoos were exclusively used by women who wished to amplify their sexual appeal.

The figure is essentially in the nude wearing nothing more than jewelry. Yet even her jewelry and blue skin continue to emphasis fecundity. The hip chain around the waist represents cowrie shells—a vaginal symbol— and the menat necklace with counterpoise around the neck is worn to foster fruitfulness and good health.

Called tjehnet by the ancient Egyptians, meaning that which is brilliant or scintillating, faience was often used to describe the attractiveness of a woman’s skin. Indeed, from the Instructions of Ptahhotep, the vizier emphasizes the power of seduction by warning “ do not be taken by a woman with a body of tjehnet.”

(R. Bianchi, Gifts of the Nile, p. 25) This exquisite figure embodies the enchanting beauty and fruitfulness that could seduce all who lay their eyes upon her.

ast in bronze, this impressive and dignified looking cat is depicted in a conventional seated position.

The detailing includes an incised wedjat pendant suspended from the nape, three-banded collar around the neck, and curled tail around the body and forepaws.

In ancient Egypt, the cat personified Bastet, the goddess of fertility, pleasure, and good health. Those hoping to conceive or seeking protection against disease would make offerings to her. Mummified cats, as well as statues made of wood or bronze, like this present example, were dedicated to her and buried at her temples, functioning as votives for the deity.

As can be seen from it’s original purchase receipt dated 4 February 1961, and the ‘Letter of Appreciation’, Dr. Rucinski spent many years in East Asia and the Middle East working to help reduce global poverty through the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). From archival photographs of his collection, the cat was once displayed atop a verde antico base (still with the object), but has since been replaced with a modern one made from a 3000 year old bog oak carved in the form of a menat, the scared Egyptian symbol of the goddess Hathor.

For a comparable example of this bronze cat, see J. Malek, The Cat in Ancient Egypt, Philadelphia, 1993, p. 101, fig. 64; and, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Inv. no. 56.16.1). $50,000 - 70,000

Using divine imagery such as this for decoration on temples and tombs helped to substantiate Greek rule in ancient Egypt. Under Ptolemy II the empire reached its farthest extent and completed construction on the Lighthouse at Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. $8,000 - 12,000

ANTIQUITIES & ANCIENT ART: A STUDY

“It was a sight surpassing all precedent, and one we never dreamed of seeing.”

- Howard Carter 35 An Egyptian Gilt Cartonnage Mummy Mask PTOLEMAIC PERIOD, 304-30 B.C.

Height 18 1/2 inches (47 cm).

Provenance: Henri Smeets, Weert, Netherlands, prior to 1975.

Published: E. Godet, et al., A Private Collection: A Catalogue of The Henri Smeets Collection, Weert, 1975, no. 32.

F

rom as early as Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign, ancient Egypt has enchanted the Western world. In 1922, the British Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered the intact tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. It was the best-preserved pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings.

According to Howard, “It was a sight surpassing all precedent, and one we never dreamed of seeing.” News of the finding spread fast and sparked an immediate craze for all things ancient Egyptian. Egyptomania swept across Europe and the United States influencing the next century of art, architecture, and popular culture.

Initially a collector of 20th Century sculpture and paintings, it is undoubtable that the amazing discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb would have influenced the collecting habits of the young and still impressionable bookmaker, Henri E. Smeets (19051980). Indeed, Smeets would later spend a great deal of time and resources collecting important objects from ancient Egypt.

In 1973, he lent a limestone head of an Amarna princess to the Brooklyn Museum, and in 1977, three years before his death, had a single owner sale of his entire antiquities collection in London, in which the sarcophagus mask seen here was included.

Apart from quality and date, the conventionalized facial features of this exquisite sarcophagus mask share stylistic traits with the mask of Tutankhamun, chief among them the gold face, calcite eyes, and lapis lazuli-colored inlays.

Well-preserved and elaborately decorated with two images of Osiris, a winged scarab, and hieroglyphic inscription, this iconic mummy mask is emblematic of our modern-day fascination with the land of the ancient pharaohs and Nile River. $50,000 - 60,000

“Guardian of the Scales” -Book of the Dead 49 An Egyptian Alabaster Head of a Jackal LATE PERIOD, 26TH-30TH DYNASTY, 664-525 B.C.

Height 6 inches (15.2 cm).

Provenance: Private Collection, Europe.

The Merrin Gallery, New York.

Private Collection, New York, acquired 14 February 1989 (Inv. no. GR89).

I

n ancient Egypt, the jackal most commonly represented the god Anubis. Anubis was closely associated with the mummification process, and played an important role in protecting the deceased. In the Book of the Dead, Anubis is the “Guardian of the Scales” and responsible for judgement by weighing the human heart together with the Feather of Truth (Ma’at). If the heart is lighter than the feather, he will take the soul by boat across the Nile into the afterlife (Duat).

Among the finest known of its type, this head of a jackal once served as the lid to a canopic jar. While the overall shape is straightforward and minimal, its elegance is made evident by the subtle detailing around the eyes, snout, and ears. The effect is extraordinarily realistic. The master stoneworker who carved it must have been extremely familiar with the animal they were representing.

Conceivably from a royal workshop, the overall quality is befitting a pharaoh.

For similar examples of jackal headed canopic jars, see Brooklyn Museum of Art (Inv. no. 37.894Ea-b), and Egyptian Museum, Berlin (Inv. no. ÄM 7191). $30,000 - 50,000

Translation: , Lipit-Ishtar, the humble shepherd of Nippur, true farmer of Ur, unceasing (provider) for Eridu, lord suitable for Uruk, king of Isin, king of the land of Sumer and Akkad, favourite of the goddess Ishtar, fashioned a pair of pot stands, a gift (for) the arms of the gods Enlil and Ninlil, in Isin, the city of my kingship, at the palace gate, when I, Lipit-Ishtar, son of the god Enlil, had established justice in the land of Sumer and Akkad.

I

This foundation cone is a written record for a building commission by the King of Isin, Lipit Ishtar, and the section from the translation above about establishing “justice in the lands of Sumer and Akkad” may refer to his eponymous code of laws.

Before the Babylonian King Hammurabi and his famed law of retribution: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”, there was the Code of Lipit Ishtar. Translated from four clay fragments, the Sumerian text written on them forms the basis of his unified code of laws. These partial fragments were recovered during the Nippur excavations by the University of Pennsylvania and predate the Code of Hammurabi by nearly one hundred years. Although the fragments were rediscovered before the diorite stele from which Hammurabi’s code is written on, they had been overlooked until recently. Today, modern scholars are moved to the conclusion that Hammurabi should no longer be celebrated for establishing the world’s oldest known law code, but that this honor should go to his predecessor the King of Isin, Lipit Ishtar. $4,000 - 6,000

T

his finely executed and well-preserved stone head represents the grimacing demon Pazuzu. Pazuzu was renowned for protecting humans from plague and evil forces. In Mesopotamian mythology, Pazuzu is the son of Hanba and brother to Humbaba, the demon protector of the Cedar Forest in The Epic of Gilgamesh. Personified as the West Wind—known to bring drought and famine—Pazuzu is often invoked to fight the evil powers of the goddess Lamashtu, which harmed mothers and children during childbirth. Like this present example, many Pazuzu heads are discovered with drilled holes or loops. It is thought they were worn by pregnant women to protect their babies from evil forces. $10,000 - 15,000

Its indented use could have been for pouring libations, drinking, or given as a gift. The frequent occurrence of phialai in ancient inventories shows that it was a popular offering in sanctuaries. There are three distinct treasury marks on the interior rim of this vessel.

For a similar snake bracelet, see the British Museum (Inv. no. 1917.0601.2780). $8,000 - 10,000

old has long been the currency of social and political status. Lion-headed protomes form the terminals of this substantial gold bracelet.

The image of confronting lions—as well as other real and mythological animals—is a motif that has a long iconographical history in Western Asia. Many fascinating and unique objects of exquisite beauty come from this region of the world, and its rich and longstanding artistic heritage inspired much of the Mediterranean world from the Mycenaean period onward.

Presumably cast from a local workshop, the openmouthed lions compare favorably to an analogous gold bracelet found in the Kurdistan Region and now on view at The Louvre Abu Dhabi (Inv. no. LAD2009.019).

Combining artistic elements from cultures as far west as Assyria and as far north as Urartu and Scythia, the ferocity of the snarling lion has been tempered and restrained by decorative convention. As in the words of the Achaemenid King Darius the Great, “Force is always beside the point when subtlety will serve.”

The open assimilation to and influences from neighboring cultures of Western Asia would become a political keystone for the burgeoning Persian Empire.

As can be seen in the stylistic differences between the numerous examples of animal-headed bracelets, artistic trends were not set by the most dominant culture, but by the most talented craftsmen.

S00109062 [accompanied with copy of a Lebanese export license] Known for using their horns as weapons to establish dominance, mating rights, and to protect the flock, rams were important symbols of strength and virility in Ancient Rome. Large curledhorns frame the face of this fierce looking ram. Carved in the round and nearly complete, the head breaks just before the neck. It is difficult to determine from the location of the break if this piece once belonged to a free standing sculpture or served as an architectural adornment.

efore the age of democracy and ancient Greek art, the Aegean region was home to mainly farmers and traders. During the Bronze Age, a group of small and mostly barren islands called the Cyclades came into extraordinary prominence. Most of these islands located in the central Aegean Sea are made of marble. Thus, it was a dominant feature in their daily life. Already having been worked since the 5th Millennium B.C., the craft of sculpting stone, especially marble, continued to develop with the creation and production of elegantly carved idols or reclining figures.

Scholars, such as Pat Getz-Gentle, have examined how these figures might have been designed, and how the changes and similarities from one form to the next help identify and give name to these otherwise anonymous ancient sculptors. Although unattributed to a specific sculptor, the figure seen here with narrow face, elongated neck, rounded shoulders, folded arms, and slightly bent legs are all characteristics of the Kapsala-variety—an iconic and prevalent category of Cycladic figures. Its overall simplicity of form delights the modern eye and epitomizes the timeless beauty of Cycladic sculpture at its best. $30,000 - 50,000

Private Collection, New York, acquired 9 August 1989 (Inv. no. GR239).

From mythological stories such as the twelve labors of Hercules to important monuments such as the Temple of Apollo, lions were prevalent in ancient Greek culture, and often symbolized royalty and strength. Here we face a life-size marble head of a lion with intense deep-set eyes, strong muzzle, and muscular mandible. The overall size and conveyed power firmly secure its status as an apex predator. Yet, its facial features are stylized and has a humanlike expression.

It is likely this fragment served as part of a statue that would have guarded over the funerary plot of an aristocratic family or marked the entryway to a mausoleum. $30,000 - 50,000

It was said that by the shaking of a branch from a particular oak tree at Dodona, one could summon Zeus himself. This vessel with its playful symbolism was likely used as an offering to Zeus.

his limestone portrait head of a young woman is Hellenistic in date, and Cypriot in style. She has an idealized face articulated with small mouth and slightly open lips, smooth cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and broad forehead.

Her wavy hair is parted at the center, swept back to the ears, surmounted by a diadem, and covered in a long veil. She wears disk earrings with grape pendants—symbols of fertility. Traces of the originally painted pupils are preserved in the left eye. The soft surface, heavy-lidded eyes, and Venus rings along the neck impart a sensuous look to this elegant beauty. For a stylistically similar votive head at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Inv. no. 74.51.2812), see A. Hermary and J.R.

Surmounted by the sea monster Scylla and nine dolphins in relief jumping above a band of waves, this polychrome askos makes subtle reference to Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. In the poem, Odysseus and his crew sail past impregnable cliffs from which the sea monster is perched and fishes for her next meal. Moreover, Odysseus’s son, Telemachus, fell into the ocean when he was an infant and was saved by dolphins. In their honor, Odysseus then went on to wear the emblem of dolphins on his shield during the Trojan War.

his rare and finely carved bone handle depicts a mythical scene from the ninth labor of Hercules in which Hercules draws his sword to kill Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and take her belt. Themes from Greek mythology were immensely popular and often the motif of choice for Etruscan toiletries. Originally a bronze mirror engraved with similar subject matter would have connected to this handle.

Used primarily by women, these mirrors were designed to include relevant visual metaphors and allegories. As is the case with the handle seen here, the dark subject matter of death is made light with sexual overtones. Hercules is depicted in the nude with a warrior’s physique holding an erect sword close to his hip, while Hippolyta is shown in full panoply with shield held high and in a defensive position. Together, these two figures fill the entire tableau, their bodies overlapping multiple times around the handle. Hercules’ right arm can be seen tucked behind Hippolyta’s shield, and left leg pressing against her inner thigh.

They are facing each other, heads in profile, both with expressive smiles. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the spirit of this decoration was intended for the boudoir.

Although the subject matter on this handle depicts a purely Greek scene, it is heavily Etruscanized. The geometric stylization, difference in scale, distinct drill work, archaistic features, and slight variations to mythological iconography, places this object in Etruria, Italy during the 6th Century B.C. when Etruscan culture was flourishing most.

For a bone handle with similar scene, see The British Museum of Art (Inv. no. 1884,0614.30). $6,000 - 8,000

T

his over-lifesized portrait head is a superb example of the Greek philosopher known as Antisthenes (circa 446370 B.C.). Originally a student of the rhetorician Gorgias, Antisthenes later came to adopt the ethical teaching of Socrates and was said to be the founder of Cynic philosophy. The Cynics would be a philosophical school throughout the classical period.

Famous for their obscenity, asceticism, and commitment to virtue, they challenged cultural norms and social conventions.

Antisthenes once said, “It is better to fight with a few good men against all the wicked, than with many wicked men against a few good men.” (Diogenes, Book VI, 12). To the Cynics, it wasn’t enough to debate the issues of high moral standards but to put them into practice through rigorous training. This philosophy and dedication to moral excellence would go on to inspire some of antiquity’s greatest leaders such as Alexander the Great and the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

Portraits of Antisthenes are properly attributed from a bust found at Hadrian’s Villa, now in the Vatican Museum, which is inscribed with his name. All known portraits have the same facial features that epitomize this unkempt intellectual: full lengthy beard, thick mustache obscuring the upper lip, and disheveled curly hair. For another portrait identified as Antisthenes, see V. Poulsen, Les Portraits Grecs, Pl. XXXXIV, fig. 50. $100,000 - 150,000

uring the 4th Century B.C., the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles created a legendary statue of the goddess of love in modest pose known today as the Aphrodite of Knidos (or Cnidus). It was one of the first lifesized representations of the nude female form in Greek history. Prior to its creation, Greek sculpture had been dominated by nude figures of heroic men. Even in antiquity, the sculpture was considered a masterpiece.

According to the Roman historian, Pliny the Elder, “There are some works of Praxiteles in the Ceramicus at Athens; but, superior to all the statues, not only of his, but of any other artist that ever existed, is the Cnidian Venus” (Pliny, Natural History 36, 20). To the Greeks, she was Aphrodite; to the Romans, she was Venus. To all, she is the goddess of Love, whose iconic image remains compelling to this day.

Though the original Greek sculpture is no longer in existence, a myriad of nude Aphrodite were created during the Hellenistic and Roman period, which the wealthy Romans of the Imperial period acquired to decorate their villas and gardens. Among these versions, two principal types repeat her modest pose: the Capitoline Venus and the Medici Venus, which differ from each other in their formal details. This high-quality statue belongs to this series, and even combines traits of one (the hairstyle and the position of the feet of the Capitoline Venus) with the other (the elongated proportions and the presence of the dolphin on the Medici statue).

This statue once belonged to French Industrialist and Modern Art collector, Pierre Lévy (1907-2002). Pierre Lévy was a member of the Conseil artistique de la Réunion des musées nationaux from 1969 until his death in 2002. In 1976, Lévy and his wife Denise, née Liève, donated some two thousand objects including more than three hundred paintings from modern artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Derain, Soutine, and many others that helped create a Museum of Modern Art housed in the former Archbishop’s Palace in Troyes, France. Prior to the museum’s opening in 1982, the collection was exhibited in 1978 at the Orangerie des Tuileries in Paris. The inclusion of this nude Venus in the Lévy collection is a testament to the statue’s importance and timelessness. $200,000 - 300,000

Provenance: Private Collection (M.U.), Paris, acquired in 1980s.

Published: J.D. Cahn, Cahn’s Quarterly 4/2019, 2019, p. 15.

This relief fragment represents the young Marcus Aurelius in the years preceding his accession to the imperial throne (161-180 AD).

From a clean-shaven curly-head boy to a lengthy-bearded philosopherking, scholars have identified four main portrait types for Marcus Aurelius. The broad forehead, short beard, and wispy moustache place this portrait of Marcus as type two, or more poetically known as the “crown prince” type. $16,000 - 18,000

A Roman Marble Portrait Head of a Young Lady ANTONINE PERIOD, CIRCA 150-160 A.D.

Height 8 1/2 inches (21.5 cm).

Provenance: Don Fernando Higuera Pacheco, Spain, 1992.

Private Collection (A.D.), Brussels.

In ancient Rome, fashion was often determined by the elite and ruling class. How a woman wore her hair said much about their status in society. The hairstyle seen here was most in vogue from the Antonine to Severan Period and closely associated with Faustina Minor (130-176 A.D.). Known as the helmfrisur, the hair is parted down the center with wavy locks that cascade over her ears. The back of the hair is bound in a chignon. Although the identity of this delicately carved and meticulously designed portrait head is unknown, there is a quality and alertness to the sculpture that makes her stand out amongst her peers. For similar examples, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Inv. no. 13.115.2) and NY Carlsberg Glyptotek. $25,000 - 35,000

CIRCA 3RD CENTURY A.D.

Height 19 7/8 inches (50.5 cm).

24 x 27 inches. 24 x 34 inches.

Property from a Midwest Private Collection

Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Antiquities and Islamic Art, 8 December 2000, Lot 162.

This relief depicts a draped female holding votives in both hands, and adorned with a veil and ornate diadem. Typically, these sculptures were used as funerary monuments and represented the deceased.

A inscription can been seen to the right of her head. Most likely this short text was used to identify the draped female who would have been buried with many others in a communal tomb. $20,000 - 30,000

Provenance: Royal Athena Galleries, New York, 2002.

Unlike the more common funerary relief busts that are forward facing, this relief (now in two parts) is in profile and depicts two merchants, one with saddled horse and the other with loaded camel, engaging in trade. The caravan city of Palmyra was a popular destination for traders along the Silk Road. Goods from both the East and West were frequently exchanged which in turn brought prosperity and wealth to the region. It is probable the deceased for which this relief was commissioned was a wealthy merchant. $30,000 - 50,000

Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

The standard bidding increments are: $0 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $250 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,500 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Above > $200,000 .... At Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Live Bid Online Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.

Telephone Bidding You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $300 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.

Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION 1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact.

Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge.

If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose.

Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. GENERAL We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that: (a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and (c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s 146 A N T I Q U I T I E S & A N C I E N T A R T : A S T U DY

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve.

If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION 1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites.

Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller.

If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION 1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment. (v) ACH Bank Transfer (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount. (d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect.

Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 147

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction.

After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

148 A N T I Q U I T I E S & A N C I E N T A R T : A S T U DY

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent.

The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site.

Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS 1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute.

The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
