AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Roman Empire Bronze Bovine Figurine – 1st to 3rd Century AD
A small bronze bovine figurine depicted standing on four short legs, with a compact body, a raised head and a prominent projecting muzzle. Horns and lateral ears define the head, while the rounded shoulders and hindquarters give the animal a substantial appearance despite its small scale. The modelling is simplified but expressive, with attention concentrated on the silhouette and the characteristic features of the animal. Its surface displays mottled green and brown patination, lighter encrustations and wear across the raised areas. The horns are unevenly preserved, and the finer anatomical details have been softened by corrosion.
Material: Bronze
Dimensions: 4.6 cm length
Weight: 34 gr.
Provenance: xx
