Lot 731
Eros bust, as a Bronze Applique. Roman, c. 2nd-3rd century AD. Perhaps the base to hold a handle for a large situla. The bust of Eros projects boldly forward, with his head head turned to the left. His hair mounded on top of his head, and enveloped in a heavy wreath of vine leaves and berries. Alarge vine leaf serves as the backdrop. His hands both hold and are contained within his cloak. The bronze finely preserved, with black-green patina. Height: 4-1/8". Neat, craftsmanly art.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,750.
