Item Details
Description
Rome, ca. 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE. This is a cast bronze fulcrum attachment in the shape of a horse's bust with facial and fur details. Fulcrum attachments were placed on the fulcrums, or curved headboards, of the reclining couches that wealthy Greeks and Romans sat on during banquets. Because of the importance of wine consumption to these banquets, fulcrum attachments were usually related to either drunkenness or animals associated with gods -- like the horse. Comes with custom dark green marble stand. Size: 3" W x 3.25" H (7.6 cm x 8.3 cm).
