Statue, Riviergod - 16.5 cm - Bronze, Onyx

Antique bronze statue of a seated, bearded man on green-veined calcite

Beautifully patinated bronze statue of a seated, bearded man in an Oriental style. The figure is depicted in a relaxed pose, leaning against a jug or amphora.
The refined modeling of the face, the beard and the richly draped clothing give the statue a characterful and decorative appearance.

The statue is mounted on a base of green-veined calcite (also known as onyx marble in the antique trade). The natural color nuances and veining give the sculpture a luxurious appearance.

In the last photo there is a small scratch visible, clearly indicating that it is bronze
A warm hue comes through.
