AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Patinated bronze rhyton in the form of a drinking horn terminating in a finely modelled ram's head with curled fleece, scrolled horns and pricked ears, after the antique. The flared trumpet cup is engraved with a classical profile head, rosettes and scrolling tendrils, with a hatched rim band and a strap handle. The piece stands on a separate circular foot cast in relief with trailing ivy and berries, attached by a threaded screw.
A characteristic Grand Tour souvenir, modelled on the Greek and Apulian ram-head rhytons excavated in southern Italy and admired by 19th-century travellers.
Period: c. 1880–1910
Origin: Italy (probably Naples)
Material: patinated bronze/brass
Age-related wear to the patina with some brighter metal showing at high points and on the underside; light verdigris inside the cup and on the foot; foot detaches for cleaning. No cracks or repairs noted. Unsigned.
Packed with care and with insurance.
