- Lot Description
Roman, Central Europe, Danube River region, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A fabulous leaded-bronze plaque cast in a mold depicting a nude Herakles (Greek Hercules) standing within an Ionic naiskos and holding his club, a kantharos, and the skin of the mythological Nemean Lion. Herakles presents contrapposto with his right hip jutting outwards, with his right hand placed atop the handle of his signature club, and his masculine visage nearly hidden behind his bushy beard and voluminous coiffure. Both naiskos pillars feature incised spiraling striations along the lower halves and vertical grooves on the upper halves, fluted roof linings, and a circular flower shown in the recessed central triangle. Smooth layers of forest and sage green patina envelop the obverse surfaces while coarse green and brown patina cover the verso. Size: 2.625" W x 3.3" H (6.7 cm x 8.4 cm); 4.125" H (10.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Published: J. Eisenberg, Art of the Ancient World, Vol. XX (2009), no. 63.
