- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A remarkable cast-bronze pitcher of elegant form featuring a circular base with impressively thin walls spreading outward to a bulbous body, sloped shoulder, slender neck, flared rim, and looped handle connected at the shoulder with a lovely high relief applique depicting the bust of a woman. Surrounded by a tondo or wreath, the skillfully cast woman wears either a bun or helmet and looks down to her left as she holds a snake and another object, perhaps a bowl. Based on her attire and props, this curious female is likely Minerva (Athena), Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, or Salus (Hygeia), the Roman goddess of safety and wellbeing. Rich patina of viridian green, teal, and sienna envelopes the ancient vessel, nicely complimenting its bronze form. A gorgeous example from Imperial Rome! Size: 5.25" W x 8.75" H (13.3 cm x 22.2 cm)
Provenance: ex Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA, acquired before 2000
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.

#158870Handle, body, and base are all ancient, but originally from different pieces and have been attached in modern times. Small repair has been made to shoulder. Minor apertures on rim and base commensurate with age. Expected light softening of detail on applique. Otherwise, great with rich patina.Condition
