The gilt, though dulled by the passage of ages, still whispers of opulence and authority, a glimpse into a bygone era of splendor. This small sculpture, just 7 by 2 centimeters in size, would have been a treasure in its time, perhaps a votive offering or a cherished amulet. Now, it invites us to reflect on its journey through time, from the hands of an ancient artisan to the collection of a modern connoisseur.

While we strive to provide detailed descriptions and high-quality photographs, we do not make claims or guarantees about the condition, authenticity, or completeness of any lot.

3. Buyer Responsibility: It is the responsibility of prospective buyers to thoroughly review all provided materials, conduct their own research, and, if necessary, consult external expertise. This due diligence is vital in ascertaining the condition and authenticity of each item. Thousand Planet Auction House will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in condition reports or descriptions.

Thousand Planet Auction House - Efforts in Information Generation:

At Thousand Planet Auction House, we understand the importance of providing our clients with as much information as possible about each lot we present. Our commitment to this goal is unwavering, especially given the unique challenges we face.

Due to the diverse origins of our lots, which often come from large estate auctions where items are mixed and provenance can be complex, we do not receive detailed historical provenance for every item. In response to this challenge, our dedicated team works tirelessly to research each artifact. We employ a rigorous process of visual analysis and comparison, drawing upon a vast array of resources including academic research from universities, findings from various institutes, and records from museums globally.

This meticulous approach allows us to create informed introductions for each lot. We aim to provide our bidders with a clear understanding of each item's characteristics and possible historical context. It's important for our clients to know that every piece of information in our listings is the result of extensive research and careful consideration by our knowledgeable staff.

We take pride in our efforts to uncover and present as much information as we can. However, we also recognize the limitations of our research and encourage bidders to conduct their own investigations. This collaborative approach between our auction house and potential buyers ensures a more comprehensive understanding of each lot and its potential value.
