ROMAN BRONZE VOTIVE HAND OF SABAZIOS CULT

Item Details

Description

Ca. 100-200 AD. A naturalistically modelled right hand with each finger clearly defined. The hand is held up in a gesture of reverence and devotion, with a slight curve in the index finger that is a signal of benediction. The hand is made of bronze and has a detail of a twisted band around its wrist, a unique feature that sets it apart from other Roman votive offerings. This exquisite piece possibly has been dedicated to the god Sabazios to receive his blessings and protection. Sabazios was a god worshiped by ancient Phrygians and Thracians, and later spread to the Greeks and the Romans. He was associated with the sky, fire, and vegetation, and was often depicted riding a horse or a chariot. He was considered to be a god of the air, and his cult was often practiced in rural areas. Size: L:225mm / W:120mm ; 1.34kg Provenance: Private London collection; British art market 1990s.
