Roman Bronze Bull Figurine w/ Rich Patina

Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A handsome cast-bronze bull figurine, posed atop an integral platform in a standing position. The animal has the characteristic curved back and broad head of the living animal, with a round snout bearing an incised mouth and prominent pointed horns that project forwards just above a pair of petaloid ears. A lengthy tail falls from his posterior, ending at his plinth. The bull and its symbolic likeness have a significant history throughout the ancient world. Bulls were central to the Romans' cult of Mithras with their central tenant of tauroctony, the sacred slaying of the bull. This figure may have graced a personal altar or been given as an offering at a temple to the god. Rich layers of green and blue patina envelop the ancient beast, imbuing it with a rich aesthetic evocative of ancient Rome! Size: 2.6" L x 0.6" W x 1.6" H (6.6 cm x 1.5 cm x 4.1 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
