拍品描述
A ROMAN BRONZE RAM’S HEAD, 1ST CENTURY BC-1ST CENTURY AD This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve The ram’s head depicted with ribbed curled horns above short pricked ears and incised sinuous eyes, the snout with incised creases and a gently agape mouth, all below the thick curling locks of tuft to the top. Important Note: For essential information on the Jorgen Ruben Gallery Ledger and provenance documentation please visit here: www.zacke.at/rubencollection_ledger Dimensions: Length 4.6 cm This well-modeled head of a ram captures the essence of the animal with the articulated ridge running across the top of its snout. This feature gives prominence to its nostrils and mouth. Its eyes are carefully modeled, as are its horns and ears.
