Roman Alabaster Relief - 3 Women Holding Torches

Item Details

Description

Back at auction due to non-paying bidder?

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fascinating alabaster carving of three women - all depicted standing, dressed in identical draped clothing. The two whose heads remain have identical hair, although the one at the center wears a crescent-shaped crown or headdress atop her hair, which is parted at the center, with locks falling to both shoulders. All three hold what appear to be torches in both of their hands. The two whose faces remain have neutral expressions, with large eyes, wide noses, small mouths, and youthful countenances. Who are these women? The crescent-shaped crown may signify that the woman in the center is the goddess Luna, who was associated with the moon, but the identical appearance of the others suggests that they do not represent goddesses. Instead, they may be Vestal Virgins, or other priestesses. Size: 8.75" W x 10.25" H (22.2 cm x 26 cm); 11.75" H (29.8 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, purchased between 2015 and 2016 at Arthur Erickson antiques, Portland, Oregon, USA; ex-Tom Cederlind estate collection, Portland, Oregon, USA, collected 2006-2007
