- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A solid cast, bronze statuette depicting a Lar guardian deity standing upon a pedestal base. The youthful figure dons a short tunic with pleated folds that gracefully cascade across his body. In his hands, he holds an avian-headed rhyton in his upraised right hand and a patera in his outstretched left hand. Notice the painstakingly delineated details of his visage - those delicate, naturalistic facial features as well as his coiffure with its countless meticulously rendered wavy locks. In ancient Rome, Lares were worshipped in each home as deities of fruitful cultivated lands. In time, the Lares were also associated with Penates, the deities of the storeroom and by extension, the prosperity of a family. Each household's Lar was embraced as the focus of the family cult. Here we have a wonderful example with a striking deep green patina. Size: 8.625" H (21.9 cm)
For a stylistically-similar example, please see "Beloved by Time: Four Millennia of Ancient Art." Fortuna Fine Art, Ltd., New York, 2000, p. 89, fig. 141.
