Ancient Roman

Small Roman bronze zoomorphic figure, modeled in a schematic way as a quadruped with an elongated neck, with simplified features and compact volume. It preserves traces of dark green patina and earthy concretions, with surface wear appropriate to its age. It possibly formed part of an applique, an ornamental element, or a small votive object. Estimated chronology: Roman period, roughly 1st–3rd centuries AD. Material: bronze. Condition: preservation consistent with its age, with deposits and surface oxidation. Origin: private collection.

Estimate:£317.7
