Description

Originally offered at $500...

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE.

He peers off to his right with petite eyes, and his bushy coiffure is surmounted by a petasos helmet. Alternatively, Venus stands nude in contrapposto with her left knee bent and both arms held aloft while grasping a sash draped behind her neck. Both figures have developed thick layers of attractive green and brown patina. Size (Venus): 1.11" W x 2.64" H (2.8 cm x 6.7 cm); (Mercury): 1.16" W x 1.9" H (2.9 cm x 4.8 cm)
