Lot 10
Roman Period, late 2nd century AD. A small translucent mosaic glass slice depicting the head of a young man wearing a wreath; cut from a square stick made of folded white, green, brown and black glass. Cf. W. Skoluda 2009: 50 Jahre, p. 57, Hamburg 2009 and Kestner-Museum Hannover, accession number 2009.347. 5 grams, 19mm (3/4"). Property of a central London gentleman; previously with Gorny & Mosch, Munich, auction 252, lot 521; formerly in a European private collection; acquired by Mr. G. McKinley before 1985. Fine fused mosaic plaques on a miniature scale, like this portrait, display a remarkably high artistry and command of glass in Roman Egypt during the first and second century AD. In The Significance of Roman Glass, Ray Winfield Smith writes that 'for such perfection highly specialised, still unexplained refinements were developed.' These developments arose in the Roman areas of Egypt, most prominently in Alexandria, and glass was exported to Rome. Animals, flowers and theatrical masks are a popular designs, but few appear as refined as this wreathed young man. Astonishingly, two very similar pieces are known, one in the Wolfgang Skoluda collection and the other in the Kestner-Museum, Hannover. The remarkable similarity strongly suggests that the pieces originate from the same workmanship, if not cut from the same rod. As the Wolfgang Skoluda catalogue notes, the profile is very similar to the mummy-portrait of Artemidoros in the British Museum. Very fine condition.
