Item Details
Description
4th-5th century AD. A silvered plaque fragment, bearing the figure of winged Victory beneath an arch, holding a wreath in her outstretched hand. See for the same style of inlay the throne saddle in Archaeological Museum of Florence, inv. 2589. 3 grams, 32mm (1 1/4"). Property of a gentleman from Vienna; from his private collection formed since 1970. Victoria (Victory) was very often represented in Roman military contexts. A simulacrum of this goddess usually showed a long-dressed Nike in a standing position, crowned by a palm branch in her left hand. The style of the representation seems to correspond with bronze works with copper and silver inlays of Late Antiquity, like the plaque with hunting scene and the throne saddle preserved in the Archaeological Museum in Florence. [No Reserve] For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price
