Modern Bust of a Roman Soldier

About the Item

A masterfully hand carved sculptural bust of a Roman soldier. This is a modern reproduction of a roman era bust with a glazed finish. The figure holds a slight contrapposto between the head and the chest plate area. The chest is colored white while the face and base retain a normal terracotta color. Special attention is paid to realistic hair and facial features. We believe the armor on the chest area depicts a scene with various mythological figures interacting. The left-hand side might be Mars (Ares) driving the cart of immortal horses (Hippoi Athanatoi) with Jupiter (Zues) in the middle watching over the events. The right-hand figure appears to be a slightly Anglo-Christian like version of an angel, rather than amor/cupid. Given the modernized nature of the piece and Rome’s history with Christianity, the figure being an angel may be up for interpretation. This piece was made with care and a high attention to detail. It originated from a private collection and would make for a great feature in a living room or entrance to any classical home. In excellent condition. "Made in Italy" mark is featured on the bottom along with a signature. In excellent condition. Measurements: Width: 17.5" / 44.45 cm Depth: 10" / 25.40 cm Height: 27.25" / 69.215 cm.

  • Round Ceramic Decorative Souvenir Tourist Plate from Oregon in Blue and Gold
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    Unique ceramic circular blue and gold souvenir plate from Oregon. This beautiful plate is round in form, and features scalloped pierced edges. The piercings are quatrefoil in shape. The edges almost resemble a starburst in how they extend from the center of the plate. The blue around the edges is a pearlized blue color, and alternates between scallops between the pearlized blue and gold. The technique in which the blue and gold has been applied shows slight brush strokes. A lovely detail that makes this piece unique. Inside at the center of the plate, scenes of Oregon are artfully applied. Such as Mt. Thielsen & Diamond Lake, Multnomah Falls...
