- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A large fragment from a high relief sculpture depicting the underside of a foot against a backdrop of a thin, sinuous line. Greco-Roman statuary, unlike that of the other Mediterranean civilizations like Egypt, Persia, etc., celebrated the naturalistic human form. This foot may have belonged to a god, a hero, or even an ordinary mortal like an emperor or a elite woman. The chaotic nature of the scene it seems to suggest - with the underside of the foot visible - indicates it may be from a battle scene. Size: 12.75" W x 13" H (32.4 cm x 33 cm); 14.6" H (37.1 cm) on included custom stand.
