- Lot Description
Gallo Roman, Gaul (a region that includes present day Northern Italy, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, parts of Netherlands, and Germany on west bank of the Rhine), Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 5th century CE. A finely modeled pottery head presenting a likeness that may represent Emperor Macrinus who reigned from April 217 until June 8, 218 - during a period of extensive political upheaval, when Roman emperors were named by the military rather than the Senate. The portrait's close-cropped curly hair, full beard and mustache, and serious expression comprised of large eyes, a prominent nose, a furrowed brow, and pursed lips closely resemble coin portraits of Macrinus and another sculpted head believed to represent Macrinus at Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum (1949.47.138). Size: 4" W x 5.375" H (10.2 cm x 13.7 cm); 8.375" H (21.3 cm) on included custom stand. Provenance: private Florida collection acquired at Royal Athena Gallery, New York, New York, USA All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #132055A section from a larger sculpture. Surface wear with some abraded areas and losses to high pointed details and neckline, but details are relatively vivid compared to other depictions of Emperor Macrinus - see discussion of the Harvard University head in the extended description for this piece.
