Ancient Roman Military Bronze Stag And Eagle 1st-2nd century AD Guarantee Rare
About the Item
This Ancient Roman Military Bronze eagle and stag, dating from the 1st to 2nd century AD, stands at a modest yet captivating 3 1/8 inches in height. The finely cast bronze sculpture showcases an eagle alongside a stag, symbolizing the divine entities Jupiter and Juno, believed to be protective deities aiding in victory.
This unique representation is associated with Jupiter Dolichenus, a Roman military mystery cult that emerged in Southeastern Turkey and swiftly gained traction among the legions, spreading westward into the heart of the Roman Empire. The intricacy of the bronze casting underscores the importance of religious symbolism within the military context, portraying a blend of spirituality and martial prowess.
The rarity of this artifact adds to its allure, making it a distinctive piece within the realm of ancient Roman art. Its provenance, traced back to a private collection in NYC and acquired in the 1990s, further enhances its historical significance, connecting it to a specific moment in time and the appreciation of a discerning collector. This bronze eagle and stag stand not only as a testament to Roman military traditions but also as a tangible link to the religious and cultural intricacies of the time.
Provenance: Ex Privat NY collection acquired 1990s.

- Archaic Dark Jade Monkey And EagleBy Artistian MadeLocated in San Diego, CASeated upright, the jade eagle is decorated with symmetrical curls on the wings and back. On the breast of the bird there are fine curved incisions. The eagle, with its strong brows and beak, is looking ahead confidently. This archaic piece represents Eastern Zhou Dynasty style eagles. The jade monkey is in a seated position with one hand held up to his ear and the other crossed in front of his body. The monkey is carved with wrinkles on his brow and a long, curling tail reaching upward on his back. During the Qianlong period, eagle carvings, usually paired with a bear, appeared on archaic jade carvings. Together the eagle and the bear mean “hero”. “Monkeys are symbols of longevity because they are believed to have the ability to live for a long time, Their name, hou, is a pun for marquess, so they are also symbols of high rank. Monkeys bring to mind the exploits of the monkey Sun Wukong...Category
