AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Roman polychrome painted wall-plaster / fresco fragment, attributed to the Late Republican–Early Imperial period, circa 50 BC–AD 50, Mediterranean region.
A substantial fragment of ancient architectural wall decoration preserving an attractive geometric composition in several colours. The painted surface displays broad pink/red fields with contrasting white, green, yellow/ochre and blue-grey bands and details, forming part of a larger Roman architectural decorative scheme.
The style and arrangement of the coloured fields and linear architectural divisions are compatible with Roman wall-painting traditions of the late Second to Third Style period, approximately the 1st century BC to 1st century AD.
The painted surface survives upon its original substantial coarse plaster/mortar backing, clearly visible from the sides. The complete fragment measures approximately:
17 × 14 × 5 cm
The considerable thickness and surviving underlying plaster make this an especially interesting example for displaying the construction of Roman painted wall decoration, as well as its original polychrome surface.
Provenance:
Acquired from Harmer Rooke Numismatists Ltd., USA, during the 1970s.
The object is accompanied by the original invoice of purchase, providing documentation of its ownership history from the 1970s.
Condition:
Ancient architectural fragment with irregular broken edges, surface wear, pigment loss, deposits and age-related deterioration, as expected. Several colours and elements of the original painted decoration remain clearly visible. Please refer carefully to the photographs for condition.
Dating: Roman, Late Republican–Early Imperial period, c. 50 BC–AD 50 (attributed).
Region: Mediterranean empire
An evocative surviving fragment of Roman interior architecture retaining both its ancient painted decoration and substantial original plaster backing.
