Large Roman Bronze Cauldron Foot - Lion Form

Item Details

Description

Rome, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A solid cast bronze lioness form cauldron foot, a fierce feline with a lithe body, pronounced paw at the lower end, and a lively visage with wide open eyes, alert perky ears, incised coat, and an expressive open mouth. You can almost hear her roar! The ancient Romans created notable metalwork, oftentimes in the form of anthropomorphic figurines. Beyond the enticing artistry and iconographic symbolism, bronze animal figurines created by the Romans also had a purpose. In this case, for example, the lion form was likely the foot of a cauldron. A superb work of ancient bronze with stunning green patina! Size: 4.75" H (12.1 cm)
