Roman Bronze Finial - Herm w/ Swan, ex-Christie's

Item Details

Description

Roman, Republic to early Imperial period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A remarkable leaded bronze finial in the unique form of a herm enveloped in a long cloak with the waist thrust forward and the downward-angled head surmounted by the neck and head of a swan. The graceful bird curves its neck to form a hook, while all rests upon a discoid plinth with a hollow, pierced socket below. The hooded figure pulls back her left arm, bending at the elbow, while her right hand holds up her draping robes to reveal yonic folds of cloth at the figure's midsection. A rare and fascinating piece from Ancient Rome! Size: 1.3" W x 6.4" H (3.3 cm x 16.3 cm); 7.4" H (18.8 cm) on included custom stand.
