A Stylish, Provincial Roman Head of a Youth, in Bronze. Roman Thrace, 2nd-3rd century AD. Hollow cast, the plumpish, roundly modeled head perhaps a fitting, or from a composite sculpture. The youth unbearded, and his hair arranged as concentric rows of locks, radiating out from the top of his head, along with a double row of tight curls framing his temples and forehead. The pupils of his eyes pierced. At the top of his head, a squarish hole, perhaps for attachment, or for the tenon of a sepreately applied hat or other attribute. A smaller attchment hole at back of neck. Intact with minimal wear, and with a mottled green, olive, and black patina. Height: 2-1/8". Pleasing provincial work.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
