Item Details
Description
Ca. 100-300 AD. A terracotta plaque fragment adorned with a graceful floral pattern relief, it exudes a sense of delicate beauty and refined elegance that speaks to the artistic sensibilities of the Roman people. Terracotta plaques were a popular medium for decorative and commemorative art in ancient Rome, valued for their affordability, versatility, and durability. They were used in a variety of contexts, from religious and funerary monuments to private residences and public spaces. The intricate floral pattern on this plaque is a testament to the skill and creativity of ancient artists who sought to capture the essence of natural beauty in their work. The floral motif was a common theme in Roman art, representing the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life and the beauty of the natural world. In this plaque, the delicate petals and intricate details of the flowers are rendered with a deft hand, each bloom a testament to the artistic skill and technical precision of the sculptor.Size: L:115mm / W:90mm ; 395gProvenance: Private London collection, B.A.; formerly in pre-2000 European collection.
