- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. An elegant, hand-carved stone patera presenting a lovely form comprised of a shallow libation bowl with a long tapered slender handle that was modeled to resemble a hand or paw at its terminus. The bowl is pierced at the center and raised on the underside of this perforation, perhaps to represent an omphalos and to administer libations. Created from a single piece of luxurious granite of blush pink, creamy beige, black, and dove grey hues, this patera was likely intended for the elite. A patera is an offering dish, used to pour libations and to make sacrifices using wine and other liquids. Some may also have been used for serving food at symposia. Size: 8.75" L x 5.2" W (22.2 cm x 13.2 cm); 7.875" H (20 cm) on included custom stand.
This piece came from the Seward Kennedy collection. Christie's auction house had a single owner sale for Seward Kennedy called "Inside a Cabinet of Curiosities." Seward Kennedy assembled his 'cabinet of curiosities' over a period of more than six decades, seeking out treasures from across the world, which furnished his residences in London, Paris, and New York City.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex Seward Kennedy collection, before 2010
