Roman Bronze Casket Foot - Lion Claw & Wings

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $500**

Roman, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fine bronze casket foot in the form of a lion claw grasping a sphere superimposed by a pair of outspread wings - prossibly an abstract representation of a mythical griffin or sphinx - finely cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process. Though almost all historical sources point to the Chinese for the derivation of the ball and claw design that inspired the popular British Chippendale furniture foot, this example demonstrates that the Romans (likely inspired by the Greeks whose beloved sphinx possessed the haunches of a lion and bird wings) embraced this motif. A fabulous example of ancient Roman bronze casting, replete with expertly delineated form, symbolic iconography, and gorgeous green patina. Custom stand. Size: 2.125" W x 3.375" H (5.4 cm x 8.6 cm)

Provenance: private Vero Beach, Florida collection; ex-private European collection formed in the 1990s

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
