Item Details

Description

Roman Empire, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. Small but quite striking marble bust of Somnos (Greek Hypnos) , God of Sleep. Looking slightly to the left, long tresses to each side and small wings emerging from behind the head - his gaze almost hypnotic. How appropriate that this god was used on the sarcophagus in preparation for eternal sleep. Size: 4.25" W x 6" H (10.8 cm x 15.2 cm)

Lucite stand for photographic purposes and not included.

Provenance: private Englewood, Colorado USA collection; ex-Komer Gallery, New York City, New York USA circa 1965
