Assorted Animals - A Handsome Display of Animal Objects from the Ancient World. Various Cultures, c. 1500 BC. - 300 AD. Thirteen animal heads or figures are attractively mounted on linen, within plexiglass box. The animal most represented is the horse: with a quite fine Roman circular brooch in bronze; a choice head from a full figurine, fairly early Egypto-Roman; and a simple, but sympathetic wood carving of a walking horse, probably Roman Egypt, c. 2nd AD. Also included is an especially bold molding of a lion mask. Other heads include Syro-Hittite heads of uncertain creatures, and perhaps one or two Pre-Columbian heads. Most pieces fragmentary, but well preserved. Framed size: 15-3/8" x 20-1/2".
Estimated Value $650 - 850.
