- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An attractive leaded bronze figure of a quadruped resembling a recumbent or leaping feline - perhaps a panther or lioness - with an elongated body and splayed limbs. The ancient animal turns his head to the right displaying a projecting, round snout surmounted by a pair of pointed ears as a slender tail extends from the posterior. Though domestic cats were rarely depicted in ancient Rome, wild cats were hugely symbolic in classical iconography; lions traditionally represented power, wealth, and might, while panthers were typically associated with Bacchus - Greek Dionysus - the god of wine. Size: 2.5" L x 0.5" W x 1" H (6.4 cm x 1.3 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: private New York, USA collection, acquired prior to 1974
