Hellenistische bis römische Periode, ca. 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. bis 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Bronze Figur - 8 cm

Bronze Statuette – Hellenistic to Roman Period – 1st Century BC to 2nd Century AD

A finely cast bronze anthropomorphic statuette depicting a standing nude figure with elongated proportions, prominent eyes, and stylized facial features. The simplified anatomical treatment and schematic modeling reflect artistic traditions that bridged the late Hellenistic and early Roman worlds, where small bronze figures served as domestic devotional objects, votive offerings, or decorative elements within private and sacred contexts.

The figure displays a rich dark patina with areas of mineral encrustation and surface wear consistent with considerable age. Despite the loss of both arms, the statuette retains its expressive character and elegant silhouette. The large eyes, slender torso, and carefully modeled head give the piece a distinctive appearance, making it an attractive example of small-scale ancient bronze sculpture from the Mediterranean world.
