Ca. Early 3rd century AD.An over life-sized portrait, gracefully sculpted, the Empress portrayed as a mature woman, her oval shaped face is smooth with a round dimpled chin. Her bow-shaped lips are gently ajar, her characteristic bulging almond-shaped eyes articulated with kidney-shaped pupils and drilled irises, her upper lids drooping, the bridge of her slender nose merging with her gracefully-arching brows, their feathering lightly incised, her hair parted in the centre and cascading in undulating waves, framing her face and concealing most of her ears, with a thin braid above the waves, all pulled back into an elaborate braided chignon, with a wispy tendril in lower relief before each ear, and a single tendril falling on the left side of her neck. These details given by the sculptor are a testament to the portrait’s realism and heighten the contrast between the gentle, relaxed, motionless face of the subject and her wavy, heavy, voluminous hairstyle. This portrait thus reflects part of the daily life of Roman women.For similar see: Christie’s, Antiquities 8890, 5 October 2000, lot 241; Yale University of Art, Accession Number 2010.143.1; Musee de Louvre, Accession Number: MNB 783: MA 1104.Cf.

Make & Model:Ferrari , BB 512i Date of Reg:A235FVO Colour:Black cc:4942 Fuel Type:Petrol Transmission:manual Summary:4,942cc. This lovely Ferrari BB 512i was restored in 2015 by Toni Auto, Maranello when it returned to Italy. It was new in the USA in August 1984 at a cost of $59,500 and seems to have spent time in Chicago, Connecticut and Georgia before returning to Italy. Following restoration completion, it was brought to the UK and registered here in the same year. Further work was then undertaken in the UK by specialists totalling thousands of pounds. It has covered virtually no miles since its restoration and was serviced including new cambelts and Michelin TRX tyres, at 217km in May 2023 costing £5098. The current odometer reading is 531km; at its 2015 MoT, the total was 71km. However, there has been a speedometer change at some point; the original item comes with the car. The MoT status will be updated before the sale. History with the Ferrari includes the V5C plus service records and invoices, including some from the Toni Auto restoration and the recent UK service, plus some US paperwork. Four registered owners since UK registration in 2015
