Item Details
Description
Ca. 100-300 AD An Ancient Roman hollow-moulded bronze chariot fitting, comprising a rectangular-shaped pedestal, surmounted by a round-shaped fruit, possibly a pomegranate, flanked by two thick, round-section handles, each on one side. The handles feature a zoomorphic finial, possibly representing horsesÂ’ heads. Further enrichment includes an almost in the round cast bronze figure depicting the Roman god Bacchus. The deity is portrayed standing, in the classical contrapposto pose, lifting his left hand up to his head, while the right hand holds a drinking vessel. Bacchus is portrayed nude, only wearing a light nebris which falls from his right shoulders to his left hip. Facial and anatomical features are rendered in an extremely naturalistic manner, with much attention given towards details. Size: L:160mm / W:165mm; 2.2kg Provenance: Property of a North London professional; previously acquired on the UK art market in early 1990s.
