- Lot Description
Late Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 300 to 350 CE. A fabulous Roman redware satyr effigy vessel, its body assuming the form of a satyr's head with a cylindrical neck rising above to a slightly flared rim, and a single handle joining the neck of the vessel to the back of the Satyr's head. His wild, grotesque visage presents with wide opened staring eyes, thick furrowed brows, a leering grin revealing two rows of sharp teeth, characteristically pointed ears, a goat-like bifurcated beard, and a curled coiffure with lovely rosettes adorning the hairband. Size: 8.6" H (21.9 cm)
Satyrs originated in Greek mythology but were also favored by the Romans. Their goatlike features were associated with Bacchus (Greek Dionysos) and his fondness for wine as well as pleasures of the flesh.
This piece was exhibited at La Biennale, Grand Palais, Paris, 11-17 September 2019; PAD London, Berkeley Square, London, 30 September 6 - October 2019. It was also published in The Gilbert Collection: by Phoenix Ancient Art, New York, 2019, no. 246.
