1st C. Roman Gilded Brass Latch Ram's Head

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A lovely brass latch displaying a thick ring on one side and the head of a ram on the other with liberal remains of a lustrous gilding on the underside of the ram's chin and the recessed area before the neck. The ring is connected via a loop extending from the verso of the ram's head, while the ancient animal displays a gently curved, narrow snout, large horns that spiral around each ear, drilled eyes, recessed nostrils, and a broad neck. A pair of suspension loops protrude from the underside of the ram's neck. A beautiful green and russet patina envelops the entirety of the piece, imbuing with an elegant presentation reminiscent of the ancient world. Size: 2.1" L x 1" W x 0.8" H (5.3 cm x 2.5 cm x 2 cm); 3.2" H (8.1 cm) on included custom stand.

By Roman times, the ram was already an ancient (with respect to the Romans) symbol of virility and masculinity, and Mercury (Greek Hermes), the god of commerce and communication, was often accompanied by a ram to symbolize fertility.
