Roman Bronze Bull Head Applique – 1st to 4th Century AD A finely cast Roman bronze applique depicting the head of a bull with a long muzzle and projecting horns. The sculpture preserves a naturally aged green archaeological patina and displays four broken attachment stubs on the upper surface, indicating that it originally formed part of a larger decorative bronze fitting rather than serving as a lamp lid. Bull imagery was widely employed in Roman decorative arts, symbolizing strength, fertility and sacrificial cults, making such appliques popular ornaments for furniture, vessels or ceremonial objects. Material: Bronze Dimensions: 4 × 4 × 3.2 cm Weight: 43.85 g Provenance: Acquired in Netherland. Former Dutch private collection assembled during the 2000’s.
