• PUBLISHED 19TH C. NEOCLASSICAL
  PUBLISHED 19TH C. NEOCLASSICAL SARDONYX CAMEO ARETHUSAEurope, Neoclassical, 19th century CE. A beautiful sardonyx cameo of the nymph Arethusa, so finely sculpted with mesmerizing details - note her wavy coiffure with each tress meticulously delineated so as to flow away from her beautiful face, delicate facial features that are quite naturalistic despite the nymph's mythical status, as well as her elegant wreath of grain ears and lovely pearl necklace and earring with three pendants. This cameo was modeled on silver coins minted by the Syracusan ruler Agathocles in the late fourth to early third century BCE. Size: 1.875" H (4.8 cm) Arethusa is the patron figure of Syracuse. She was a nymph and a Nereid, a daughter of Nereus, who fled from the unwanted advances of creepy river god Alpheus. She sought help from Artemis, and ultimately wound up in the sea. When Demeter sought her daughter Persephone, kidnapped by Hades, Arethusa gave the goddess information on her daughter in exchange for Demeter discontinuing her punishment of Sicily. The coins bearing Arethusa's image, surrounded by dolphins, are among the most beautiful from ancient Greece.

• 1ST C. ROMAN BRONZE ATTACHMENT -
  1ST C. ROMAN BRONZE ATTACHMENT - MASKETTE OF SILENUSRoman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A cast-bronze attachment depicting a maskette of Silenus, the teacher and elder companion of the god of wine Bacchus (Greek Dionysus). The expressive visage presents with a bushy beard surrounding full lips, flared ears, a prominent nose with broad nostrils, and recessed orbitals beneath a deeply furrowed brow. Remains of bitumen within the orbitals suggest that the eyes were inlaid with decorative pieces of stone or shell. The recessed verso suggests that this maskette was intended to decorate a larger object like a piece of furniture, a chariot, or a sizable chest. Size: 1.05" W x 1.43" H (2.7 cm x 3.6 cm) Satyrs were powerful symbols in ancient Rome, associated with the joy of the Bacchanal. Silenus was an older satyr-like figure who was a companion to Bacchus (Greek Dionysus). The consumption of wine was an important social activity in Roman society and Silenus was commonly added to decorative items to signify the owner's affiliation with the cult of Bacchus. Themes of the god and his followers were particularly popular during the early part of this time period, as control of the Mediterranean shifted from Greece to Rome.
