- Lot Description
Late Roman / early Byzantine period, ca. late 3rd to 5th century CE. A fabulous hollow-cast bronze figurine depicting a recumbent goat with a bulbous body, four tucked legs, a petite upraised tail, and a muscular neck. The stylized, right-facing head is defined by a tapering snout, piercing ovoid eyes with delineated pupils, a bushy beard, drooping ears, and a slender, almost smiling mouth, all presented beneath a pair of majestic horns which curve outward and taper to a point. Tufts of incised hair accentuate the body, tail, and neck of the goat and give it a distinct zoomorphic appearance. The exterior is enveloped in layers of smooth green and russet patina. Size: 3.8" L x 1.6" W x 3" H (9.7 cm x 4.1 cm x 7.6 cm).
Published in "Beloved by Time: Four Millennia of Ancient Art." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 2000, p. 119, fig. 211.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Richard Wagner collection, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, acquired in the 1960s
