Lot 180
ROMAN RIVER GOD WESTERN EUROPE, 2ND CENTURY AD 69cm longcarved marble, a river god shown in the traditional reclining pose, a mantle draped over his hips and legs, his right arm resting on his side, the left laid over an overturned urn, the torso nude with well defined musculature, the long beard and hair evoking the form of aqueous reeds Provenance:Private collection, Europe, acquired 1980's.Private collection, Spain.Private collection, United Kingdom, exported from Spain under export license, with details released to the buyer.Note:River gods were, as the name suggests, deities believed to embody the great rivers of the ancient world. With a distinctive languid form, they were popular depictions throughout the ancient Mediterranean, where they could be found in wealthy villas or public monuments, normally with their back to a wall as a fountain emerged from an amphora situated on the god's lap. This example, though modelled in the round, was likely used in this context.Due to their popularity in the provinces (where there was limited access to expert sculptors), many surviving examples appear to be roughly carved. However, this example, with its statuesque majesty, is a fine example of Roman Antonine/Severan period sculpture.

A bronze helmet of the Urnfield Culture formed as two triangular panels with an applied riveted seam to the crest; bands of repoussé ornament to both faces comprising lines of bosses and pellets between; six square slots to the lower edge, to secure the liner; mounted on a custom-made stand. See Briard, J. The Bronze Age in Barbarian Europe, London, 1979 for discussion. 1.5 kg, 36cm including stand (14 1/4"). Acquired in 2000; formally in a private Austrian collection for 30 years. The Urnfield Culture of Central Europe is one of a series of archaeological complexes sharing many similar features, all belonging to the later Bronze Ager and extending to some extent into the Iron Age. The name 'Urnfield' refers to the burial custom of cremating the deceased and placing the remains in a pottery vessel (urn), which was buried in a designated area among many other similar examples (the field of urns"). In Central Europe, the successor to Urnfield was the Hallstatt Culture which many scholars associate with the rise of the Celtic-speaking peoples. At their greatest extent, Urnfield-type cultures extended from Hungary to western France, but the source of the tradition is firmly associated with Hungary and its neighbouring areas bordering the Eurasian steppe. The Urnfield Culture is associated with specific types of ceramic and other goods, and with the rise of the heavily armoured warrior whose body was protected by a helmet, cuirass and greaves as well as a hand-held shield; the offensive weapons were thrusting spears, javelins, daggers and long slashing swords as well as arrows. Chariot warfare gained in importance at this time, and worked iron was introduced as a decoration on bronze tools and weapons. Fine condition.
