Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Sumer & The Levant, ca. 3000 to 1000 BCE; Greco-Roman, Hellenistic to early Roman Imperial period, ca. 3rd century BCE to 3rd century CE. A delightful collection of 5 ancient pottery effigy animal figurines and heads including a bird, ram, cow, and 2 horses. The Greek bird is hollow and once functioned as a rattle toy - although faint, it makes a slight sound! The Greek horse head is the most naturalistic of the group - undoubtably once part of a larger body - the ears pushed back and nostrils flaring. The ram, bull head, and horse are simplified, perhaps votives for a Near Eastern altar or temple. Size of bull head: 3.5" L x 1.25" W x 4.25" H (8.9 cm x 3.2 cm x 10.8 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
