Description
West to Central Asia, Islamic/Persian, Seljuk culture, ca. 12th century CE. This near miniature bronze cast visage applique captivates us with its dramatic expression. Just look at those boldly delineated almond-shaped eyes framed by arched brows that elegantly merge with the nose and its wide smile underscored by a series of vertical lines indicating whiskers. Whether these hairs belong to a feline or a human donning a goatee, they certainly add some personality to this face. Despite its petite scale, thi exampke of Seljuk metalwork with its fabulous deep green patina makes quite the impression! Block, lucite stand. Size: 1" L x 1.25" W x 1.25" H (2.5 cm x 3.2 cm x 3.2 cm); 2.75" (7 cm) H on stand.
