Item Details
Description
Egypt, Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. This hollow terracotta figural shows Jupiter (Zeus) seated with an eagle. This is the Aetos Dios, a giant golden eagle that served as the king of the gods' personal messenger and companion. These two together were a powerful symbol in Romanized Egypt, and indeed had been since the Ptolemies (Ptolemy III used this symbol on coinage, for example). A plaque like this was made for votive purposes, to be given as an offering in a temple. Size: 3.6" W x 5" H (9.1 cm x 12.7 cm)

Provenance: Ex - Prominent LA County collector who acquired these prior to 2000
