Roman Bronze Head of an Emperor
2nd century A.D.Estimate: £800 - 1,000 (‡+bp*)
Opening Bid: £444
Hollow-formed with long neck, abundant thick hair and beard, broad mouth; probably intended to represent an emperor. 440 grams, 10 cm
Acquired by a Swiss family in the mid-1980s to late 1990s, thence by descent. Private collection, Switzerland, since the late 1990s.
The portrait seems to be a provincial bronze representing Hadrian, apparently aged around 30, recognisable from his incipient beard, moustache and distinctive physiognomy. However, the portrait is in an extremely provincial style, exemplified by the wide spacing of the eyes. The beard is lightly incised, and the highly stylised curls around the front of the head give way to simple incised locks on the back. -
