WESTERN ASIATIC BRONZE STAG FIGURINE
Item Details
Description
Ca. 1st millennium BC.
A bronze freestanding figurine depicting a stag. The animal presents a slender body on delicate, long legs, with each leg with a loop. From the backside of the animal, a vertical rod emerges, leading to an openwork cage-style finial. In the ancient culture of Luristan, nestled within the rugged terrain of western Persia, the stag holds profound significance. Revered for its strength, grace, and symbolic resonance, the stag occupies a central place in Luristan mythology and artistic expression.
To the people of Luristan, the stag embodies the essence of vitality and resilience, its majestic antlers reaching towards the heavens like branches of an ancient tree. In their stories and folklore, the stag is often depicted as a guardian spirit, a noble creature that guides and protects those who venture into the wild landscapes of Luristan.
Size: 145mm x 85mm; Weight: 260g
Provenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.
