- Lot Description
Ancient Asia Minor, Eastern Anatolia, ca. late 2nd to 1st millennium BCE. A fine cast-bronze male figure standing atop delineated legs. The musician presents nude with exposed genitals beneath a slender waist, broad shoulders above stocky arms, and both hands playing a lyre topped with several tuning knobs. His visage boasts raised hemispherical eyes, an upturned nose, a broad chin, and a quartet of projecting horns around his brow, with a tight hair bun on the back. Lustrous layers of brown and green patina cover this emotive example from ancient Anatolia. Size: 1.6" L x 1.1" W x 2.6" H (4.1 cm x 2.8 cm x 6.6 cm); 3.375" H (8.6 cm) on included custom stand.
For a stylistically-similar example of a female holding a cup, please see "Idols: The Beginning of Abstract Form." Ariadne Galleries, Inc., New York, 1989, p. 67, fig, 34.
