Published Roman Bronze Bust of Helios, ex-Sotheby's

Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, late 1st to 2nd century CE. A very large, high-relief cast bronze bust of Helios (also spelled Helius), the sun god that originated in Greek mythology, depicted as a youth wearing a headdress/crown of sun rays over a wavy coiffure, on a rectangular fitting that once would have graced a boat or chariot, pierced for attachment at the sides and above each shoulder. Custom stand. Size: 6.25" W x 6.125" H (15.9 cm x 15.6 cm); 6.75" H (17.1 cm) on stand

Helios was believed to ride a golden chariot that carried the sun across the skies every day from East to West. In addition to appearing on beautiful painted vases riding his golden chariot in the background of imagery narrating the Hercules (Herakles) story, gracing the faces of coins of Rhodes - his patron city, as well as the east pediment of the Parthenon where he emerges from the ocean in his chariot, Helios is perhaps most famously the subject of the Colossus of Rhodes, a monumental bronze statue regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
