- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A nearly pure silver (99% silver) repousse panel depicting a bust of a tutelary goddess - most likely Cybele the mother goddess of Rome - wearing a mural crown (corona muralis) with the headpiece depicting the city walls or towers. This type of crown was used as a symbol for tutelary deities [Fortuna (Tyche), Vesta (Hestia), or Cybele] who surveyed, protected, and watched over a city - and for Romans it was also used as a military decoration. In addition to the corona muralis, the goddess wears a lovely necklace with ovoid dangling ornaments, a chiton that hugs her breasts, and bracelets on the wrists of her raised hands. Her beautiful visage is delineated with fine features framed by a rolled back wavy coiffure tucked under the crown, and all is framed by an elegant border adorned by diagonally striated motifs. Size: 5.5" L x 5" W (14 cm x 12.7 cm)
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-private German collection, acquired in the 1980s; ex-Frances Artuner collection, Belgium, acquired in the 1960s
