Roman Bronze Statuette of Triton Sounding a Horn
Roman Bronze Statuette of Triton Sounding a Horn
Item Details
Description
1st-2nd century A.D. Bare-chested with fish-tail extending to the rear, raising a periwinkle-shell horn to his lips; left arm supporting a ship under sail; mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf. Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, item 324, for type. 65 grams total, 64 mm including stand (2 1/2 in.).

From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

The small statuette was possibly part of a scene representing Poseidon and Amphitrite. The riches of the sea and the dangers of navigation were merged by the ancients into a famous myth known as the wedding procession between Poseidon and the Nereid Amphitrite. Involved in the procession were nereids, tritons and hippocampi. [No Reserve]
