Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, ca. 5th to 4th century BCE. A fabulous bronze handle, likely for a hydria or another large bronze vessel, formed via the lost wax (cire perdue) process. The central component of the handle is comprised of a compressed yet sturdy disc with a thin rim and a round spacer stemming from each side. Attached to the spacers are a gently-curving, multi-petaled handle arm, each with five deeply-grooved indentations leading downwards to a blossoming flower-shaped terminal. The terminals bear evidence of small tangs which once projected outwards from the flush faces and were secured within the sides of a larger, presumably highly-intricate bronze vessel. Covered in thick layers of verdant green patina, this is an amazing example of high-quality Greek bronze-work! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 4.375" W x 2.5" H (11.1 cm x 6.4 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.
