Roman Bronze Statuette Hand Holding Victory Wreath
1st century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £59
Modelled in the round, right hand clutching a wreath of laurel leaves. 19.6 grams, 23 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 hand raising the laurel wreath, symbol of Roman victory, could belong to a statuette representing the winged Victory, Nike. However, an important statuette of Flora, goddess of flowering and cereals, found in Witcombe Villa, represents her with raised hand holding a similar wreath, which does not necessarily correspond to a laurel wreath, but to an intertwined wreath of flowers , symbol of prosperity and spring. -
