- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. Expertly cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) method, a leaded bronze figure of an elderly priest, standing with his left leg slightly advanced, carrying a casket in his left hand, holding out his right hand in a dramatic fashion, and donning a himation wrapped over one shoulder and also covering his head which presents with nice modeling of drapery folds to lend a dynamic quality of movement and volume to the piece. The priest's visage presents with a fringe of wavy bangs over his almond-shaped eyes, a surprisingly petite nose, and a bushy mustache and beard framing his lips. Size: 3.25" H (8.3 cm); 4.25" H (10.8 cm) on included custom stand.
