- Lot Description
Roman, late Republic to early Imperial period, Eastern Mediterranean, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A paragon of the Classical ideal; a gorgeous white marble head of a female deity, possibly Juno (Greek Hera), the protector and special counsellor of the state as well as queen of the gods and wife of Jupiter. Gazing forth from almond-shaped eyes beneath generous lids, her idealized visage is comprised of gently arched brows, a naturalistic nose, and fleshy lips held slightly parted, all beneath a luscious coiffure of cascading locks that drape the nape of her gracefully long neck. A cylindrical diadem, perhaps a stephane, of petite triangles in relief crowns her lush tresses, suggesting her status as queen of the gods and identity as Juno. Size: 2.5" W x 3.5" H (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm); 7.3" H (18.5 cm) on included custom stand.
In Roman mythology, the ancient Roman goddess Juno, the queen of the gods, protector and special counselor to the state, and goddess of the sky and the stars, was said to have created the peacock from Argus whose hundred eyes seen on the tailfeathers of the peacock symbolize the vault of heaven and the "eyes" of the stars.
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010; ex-William Froelich Collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 1970s
