Modelled in the round in a sturdy pose with fierce facial features and prominent ridge of bristles to the spine, stub tail; mounted on a custom-made stand. 231 grams, 68 mm
From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.
The small statuettes of boars found in the Roman Britain and in the Roman Gaul, were likely used as dedicatory ex-votos, votive figurines for the cult places. They were widespread in the Roman provinces of Celtic origin. However, one cannot exclude the fact that many boars found in Britain belong to the pre-conquest British figurines. One of the few types of bronze figurines that are known to precede the arrival of the Romans is in fact that of the boars. -
