Item Details
Description
This diminutive yet expressive Ancient Roman bronze figurine represents a seated cat, a domesticated companion and symbol of divinity in Roman society. The artifact measures approximately 4.7x3x1.5 cm, indicative of the personal and portable nature of such items in antiquity. Despite its size, the figure's detail suggests it was crafted with care, reflecting the artisan's skill. Such pieces are not only collectible for their historical value but also for their connection to Roman daily life and religion, where animals held significant roles both in the mundane and the sacred. This particular piece, given its compact dimensions—converted to roughly 1.85x1.18x0.59 inches, would have likely adorned a household shrine or been part of a child's playthings, a common practice in Roman culture.
