About the Item

A fine 17th-century bronze head of Emperor Trajan, crafted in a historicist style. The head features bronze construction with ivory inlaid eyes. During the 17th century, it was common for European courts to collect Roman-style sculptures, and this piece was likely created during that time to satisfy the demand of prominent collectors. The sculpture has a beautiful aged patina and a large size, emphasizing its striking presence. Dimensions: 40 × 28 × 30 cm. Provenance: Private Spanish collection. Trajan: Marcus Ulpius Trajanus (Italica, September 18, 53 – Selinunte, c. August 11, 117) was a Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD.
