Lyon &amp; Turnbull’s African &amp; Oceanic Art, Natural History &amp; Ancient Art auction returns this summer with another exceptional, cross-disciplinary selection of fine international art, ancient artefacts, and rare natural history specimens. Taking place on 30 July, this thoughtfully curated sale continues to explore the concept of form across cultures and civilisations. It brings together significant works of art and artefacts from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and the ancient world, presented alongside fossilised specimens and natural wonders dating back millions of years. Highlights include a collection of ancient Egyptian amulets gifted by King Fuad I of Egypt in 1926, and an alabaster figure of the goddess Isis nursing Horus, dating to Egypt’s 25th Dynasty. From the Pacific, the auction features a rare akatara pole spear from the Cook Islands, while North American highlights include a pair of 19th-century moccasins, likely of Seneca origin, discovered among the historic contents of Penicuik House, Midlothian.Buyer's Guide:&nbsp;
