Lot 1266
A Bronze Fitting with a Delightful Bust of a Youthful Dionysus. Rome, c. 1st-2nd century AD. This a finely detailed miniature to those usually seen - - perhaps forming part of a delicate tripod or small decorative table. The bust emerges from a floral base with a horizontal bar at his back. The god with a patterned animal skin over shoulder, and a wreath of leaves and fruit coursing through his long hair. The god's portrait with an almost blasé air of a world wise sophisticate. Sharp, with reddish brown and green patina. Height: 2-3/8", on custom stand.
Estimated Value $850 - 1,250.
