- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 9th to 8th century BCE. A gorgeous and wonderfully preserved circular bracelet cast from bronze via the lost wax (cire perdue) technique. The openwork bangle has a thick shank surmounted by a pair of highly stylized lions laying with confrontational recumbent poses in front of one another. Each feline creature holds its head aloft with almond-shaped eyes staring down the opposite lion and has fused forepaws in front of the muscular bodies as well as thin tails curled along the back legs. The bracelet has developed lovely areas of green patina that nicely complement the original silvery hue of the metal. Size: 2.8" W x 3.1" H (7.1 cm x 7.9 cm); 4.1" H (10.4 cm) on included custom stand; (wrist opening): 2.375" W (6 cm)
