241 VERY RARE MUMMIFIED BABOON HAND The practice of mummification has been performed for thousands of years throughout the world from South America to Asia, but of course the most famous mummies are those of ancient Egypt. Most often associated with important personages, mummification was also performed on certain animals important to the Egyptian people, either as pets or as representations of the gods, or simply as food for the deceased in the afterlife. Baboons were significant in this culture as representations of Thoth, one of the most important deities in the Egyptian pantheon, god of the Moon and of wisdom. He was frequently represented with the head of an ibis, or that of a baboon. Not being native to Egypt, baboons were imported at great cost during the New Kingdom and unsuccessfully bred as ritual animals. Baboons were bred specifically for their religious significance and sacred troops accompanied nobility in the afterlife as they were considered vessels for the gods to inhabit. Although the provenance of the present specimen has been lost, it has been identified as the left hand of a baboon, with the characteristic hessian cartonnage. Where the covering is missing, the blackened skin is exposed, adding to the evocative effect, as do the curving fingers. The two middle fingers show exposed distal phalange bones, and at the wrist, part of the lunate bone protrudes amidst the straw-like tufts of desiccated flesh; 6 1/4" long and 2 1/2" wide $2,500 - 3,000 Sale Date 7/31/2016

486 IMPRESSIVE FOSSIL FISH COFFEE TABLE Phareodus encaustus Mioplosus labracoides Eocene Green River Formation, Lincoln Co. Wyoming The abundant fossil beds of the Green River Formation represent a sub-tropical freshwater lake system teeming with life over 50 million years ago, and the locale is renowned for the exceptional quality and variety of its fossil fish. Here are two superb examples, a large and scarce 20-inch long Phareodus, a member of the Osteoglossidae (“bony tongue”) family, whose relatives still inhabit today’s subtropical oceans; and an attractive little Mioplosus, an ancient perch, 11 inches long. Both fossils display superb preservation, definition, and three-dimensionality, even by the high standards of Green River, particularly to the heavy skull bones of the predaceous Phareodus, with numerous sharp little teeth perfectly visible, a robust set of vertebrae, several with the process standing proud of the matrix. There are even what appear to be an unusual amount of scale impressions. The Mioplosus is less complete, but no less fine in its detail, and both sit within an attractively mottled gray limestone matrix, mounted under glass in a black walnut-clad coffee table. In addition, between the fossil plaque and the glass, the inside edge is lined with innumerable tiny LEDS which can be controlled by a dimmer switch underneath to make for a unique and highly impressive furnishing piece; 43 1/8" x 38 6/8" and 21" high $3,500 - 4,500

Terms and Conditions of Sale These Terms and Conditions of Sale are made by and between I.M. Chait Gallery/Auctioneers, Inc. ("I.M. Chait," "Auction House," "We," "Our" or "Us") and Bidder ("Purchaser," "Buyer or "Agent"). The Terms and Conditions of Sale and all contents of catalogue are subject to amendment by I.M. Chait either by the posting of notices or announcements made by auctioneer. By participating in any sale, Bidder hereby acknowledges to be bound by these terms and conditions. 1. On the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, or upon the statement of "sold," the highest bidder or authorized agent shall be deemed to have purchased the offered lot in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and will pay the purchase price in full plus buyers premium and any applicable taxes. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, including but without limitation to the right to hold the Purchaser liable for the purchase price, we, at our option, may either: (i) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the Purchaser, or (ii) resell the property on three (3) days notice to the Purchaser and for the account and risk of the Purchaser, either publicly or privately, and in such event the Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales, our commission at our regular rates, all other charges due and incidental damages. 2. We reserve the right to withdraw any property at any time before the actual sale. Unless otherwise announced by Auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue and no lot shall be divided for sale. 3. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the Purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the Auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the Auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be preeminent in all respects. 4. If we are prevented by fire, theft, damage or any other reason whatsoever from delivery of any property to the Purchaser within 10 days after the auction, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid by the Purchaser. 5. Where the consignor is indebted to us or has a monetary guarantee from us, and in certain other circumstances, we may have interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than our commissions, and may bid to protect such interest. We are entitled to our standard commission rate where a lot is "bought-in" to protect our interest. 6. If a lot is offered subject to reserve (the confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold), we may implement such a reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor. 7. All statements contained in the catalogue or in any bill of sale, invoice or elsewhere as to authorship, period, source, origin, measurement or condition are qualified statements and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties. Please note: (i) These Terms and Conditions of Sale take precedence over any statements made to the contrary by the Auctioneer, staff or affiliates. If the Auctioneer warrants the quality or condition of a lot during or before the auction, that statement is not binding on the Auction House or the Buyer and the "as is" provisions of these Terms and Conditions take precedence. (ii) Notwithstanding the statement in paragraph 7, buyers have the right of rescission, PROVIDED that within 48 hours of their receipt of the property they inform us that the physical condition materially differs from the catalogue description, from a provided condition report or the catalogue description is inaccurate, TO OUR SATISFACTION. Buyers must return the property immediately and show clearly any differences or inaccuracies with the catalogue and the property must be received in the same condition as when it was sent. (iii) As conditions are not always included in the lot description, prospective bidders should inspect all property before bidding to determine condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. Absence of condition statements are not indications that lots are free of flaws/damage or without signs of wear consistent with age. As a service to prospective bidders, condition reports are available on all items upon request. Please contact [email protected]. Per these terms and conditions, condition reports are our educated opinions but should not be held as absolute guarantees. 8. Payment terms: All items are to be paid for by: i. Cash ii. Cashier's Check iii. Personal check with approved credit iv. Bank wire transfer v. Properly authorized Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card. 9. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS" AND NEITHER WE NOR THE CONSIGNOR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR AS TO THE CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, ATTRIBUTION, PROVENANCE OR PERIOD OF THE PROPERTY. (See also paragraph 7ii.) (i) Please note that all Chinese scrolls/paintings are sold AS IS, with no guarantee as to authorship nor as to authenticity. It is the

responsibility of the potential buyer to determine whether or not any of these scrolls might be original paintings, reproductions, etc. Unless specifically noted so in the description, neither scrolls nor Chinese paintings are warranted or guaranteed to be by any particular artist nor of any particular age. Condition reports are available when requested, but will only refer to the physical condition of the scroll or painting. (ii) Please note: The lot description translations in Chinese are not our translations and therefore may contain discrepancies from the English description. These translations are for informational use only and should not be used to determine age, condition, authenticity, etc. Please contact us for a detailed condition report in Chinese. 10. ABSENTEE BIDS - As a service to those wishing to place bids, we will accept absentee bids without charge, in advance of the sale, on bidding forms available from us and online. In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest bid will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve, live floor bidders and all online bids. 11. ESTIMATED PRICES - As a convenience to our clients, we furnish pre-sale estimates for all materials included in the auctions. These estimates are approximate valuations and are based upon comparable auction values. These estimates are NOT prices. Bidding normally begins at about one-half the low estimate, but the final bid price may well be less than or more than any estimate printed. 12. With respect to all property, an in room buyer's premium of 22% of the successful bid price will be added thereto (EXCEPT AS NOTED FOR SPECIAL SALES EVENTS) and is payable by the Purchaser as part of the total purchase price. Please note that online bidders may be charged an additional online service fee as determined by online provider. 13. International Bidders: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MEETING ALL CUSTOMS/IMPORT-EXPORT REGULATIONS. WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL LAWS AFFECTING THE DELIVERY OF YOUR ITEMS. 14. CONDITION OF PROPERTY - Prospective bidders are advised to inspect all lots prior to bidding to determine age, condition, size, medium, repairs and any restoration or lack thereof. As a service to prospective bidders, condition reports are available on ALL lots upon request. Please contact [email protected] for any condition report requests. Please note per our terms, these reports are simply our professional opinions and should not be considered absolute. 15. With respect to sold property; all lots must be removed from our premises at the Purchaser's expense, no later than ten (10) days following the date of the sale. Purchaser will incur a $10 per day fee per lot until the sold property is removed. In addition, applicable interest on each lot not so removed will accrue. We reserve the right to transfer non-removed property to a storage facility at the Purchaser's risk and expense. After expiration of the 10 day period following the sale any auction house liability on item(s) will cease and be null and void. 16. No property will be released until payment in full is made on the items. Packing, shipping and insurance (including reimbursement for damage or loss) of purchased lots is the responsibility of the Purchaser. I.M. Chait can provide in-house packing and shipping services at the Buyer's expense. Items will be shipped via UPS unless another carrier is specified. Please note: items that are large and/or heavy and/or need special packaging or shipping requirements, may have additional shipping costs and delays. If we cannot pack and ship your purchases, we can recommend packing/shipping through a third party carrier. We are not responsible for any delays on the part of this third party, should there be any. We recommend shipping all items insured. Should any damage or loss occur to items, auction house will not be held responsible for any denial, nonpayment or short payment from insurer. Any reimbursement will only cover the actual cost of the item(s) or cost to repair and will not cover any loss of value. Within approximately one week after payment, I.M. Chait will advise Purchasers of recommended shipping methods or possible third party carriers. (Note: on occasion, quotes from some of the third party carriers may take additional time.) 17. BUYER'S PREMIUM - I.M. Chait provides a venue to bring buyers and sellers ("consignors") together. We take possession of consignor's property months before the auction. We use this time to research, catalogue, photograph and market the items before they go up for sale. When an object is sold, I.M. Chait receives a percentage of the hammer price (seller's commission) plus certain fees as our payment from the consignor. We also collect a percentage of the hammer price from the Buyer (Buyer's Premium). 18. A Buyer's Premium is added to the winning bid price of each individual lot purchased. The winning bid price plus the premium constitute the total purchase price for the lot. Applicable sales taxes are computed based on this figure. This total becomes the final purchase price. 19. ONLINE BIDDING - By using and accessing our website and/or third party bidding platforms and websites, Buyer agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. I.M. Chait is not liable for any viruses that may affect a computer while accessing these sites, missed bids or outages.
