Iron and enamel Deco sculpture, Salome dancing for Herod, Austria early 1900s
About the Item
Very elegant sculpture created in Austria in the early 1900s, depicting Salome in the dance of the seven veils, in honor of Herod, on chromes by Klimt. The sculpture is three-dimensional, painted and finished on both sides, so it can be placed anywhere, as there is no front-to-back
CURIOSITY:
The sculpture depicts the dance that Salome performed during Herod's banquet in the presence of Herodias, who at the end of the performance demanded the head of John the Baptist as a reward. John the Baptist died by beheading on the orders of Herod, who had him imprisoned because he had rebuked him about his conduct (Herod in fact lived with Herodias, his own brother's wife). The king, out of pride, gave in to the request of Salome, daughter of Herodias, who had danced so well at a banquet that she could ask for what she wanted, and instigated by her mother, had John's head asked for on a silver platter.
The sculpture rests on a wooden base.
