- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial, ca. 2nd century CE. A gorgeous leaded bronze male figure cast via the lost-wax (cire perdue) method standing in contrapposto with his left arm on his hip and the other held up with his hand next to his face creating a circle, likely once holding a staff or spear. The quintessentially classical body stands nude with a slender physique, extended torso, long legs, and a sloped left shoulder, which balances a chlamys that falls to his side and wraps around his wrist. His large round eyes, button nose, and closed mouth are crowned with a halo of hair sprouting out from beneath a pointed helmet, indicating that he is either a soldier or Mars, the Roman god of war. A rich patina of verdant green and russet hues envelops the sculpture, nicely accenting his lustrous dark copper hued exterior. With remarkably preserved detail, this is a fabulous example from Imperial Rome! Size: 2" L x 1.75" W (5.1 cm x 4.4 cm); 6.75" H (17.1 cm) on included custom stand.
