ROMANO-EGYPTIAN LIMESTONE SNAKES
Ca. 300 BC - AD 300.Two large fragments of corbel-type snake elements, each carved from limestone. Both snake heads are rendered in an extremely naturalistic style, with broad snouts, recessed nostrils, bulging eyes and heavy eyelids. Each rests its head on a lower arched element that is precisely hewn. There are some remaining traces of red-brown surface pigment. These elegant ornaments once served as ornamental fixtures for a building. Size: 220-240mm x 210-220mm; Weight: 5.89kg Provenance: Private Southwestern collection, acquired on the US art market; formerly in NYC collection; ex. F. A., NYC.
