106 A Roman Marble Head of a Ram
CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURY A.D. Height 7 inches (17.8 cm).
Provenance: Private Collection, Europe, acquired 1960s-1970s. Private Collection, New York, 2008. Aphrodite Ancient Art, New York, 2015 (Art of the Ancient, Vol. II, no. 9. p. 16-17). Art Loss Register no. S00109062 [accompanied with copy of a Lebanese export license]
Known for using their horns as weapons to establish dominance, mating rights, and to protect the flock, rams were important symbols of strength and virility in Ancient Rome. Large curledhorns frame the face of this fierce looking ram. Carved in the round and nearly complete, the head breaks just before the neck. It is difficult to determine from the location of the break if this piece once belonged to a free standing sculpture or served as an architectural adornment. For an example of a complete sculpture, see a loan at the Art Institute of Chicago (Inv. no. 189.2014.); For an example of an architectural elements, see the British Museum (1805.0703.209). $8,000 - 12,000

Before the age of democracy and ancient Greek art, the Aegean region was home to mainly farmers and traders. During the Bronze Age, a group of small and mostly barren islands called the Cyclades came into extraordinary prominence. Most of these islands located in the central Aegean Sea are made of marble. Thus, it was a dominant feature in their daily life. Already having been worked since the 5th Millennium B.C., the craft of sculpting stone, especially marble, continued to develop with the creation and production of elegantly carved idols or reclining figures.
Scholars, such as Pat Getz-Gentle, have examined how these figures might have been designed, and how the changes and similarities from one form to the next help identify and give name to these otherwise anonymous ancient sculptors. Although unattributed to a specific sculptor, the figure seen here with narrow face, elongated neck, rounded shoulders, folded arms, and slightly bent legs are all characteristics of the Kapsala-variety—an iconic and prevalent category of Cycladic figures. Its overall simplicity of form delights the modern eye and epitomizes the timeless beauty of Cycladic sculpture at its best. $30,000 - 50,000

Provenance: The Merrin Gallery, New York. Private Collection, New York, acquired 9 August 1989 (Inv. no. GR239).
From mythological stories such as the twelve labors of Hercules to important monuments such as the Temple of Apollo, lions were prevalent in ancient Greek culture, and often symbolized royalty and strength. Here we face a life-size marble head of a lion with intense deep-set eyes, strong muzzle, and muscular mandible. The overall size and conveyed power firmly secure its status as an apex predator. Yet, its facial features are stylized and has a humanlike expression. It is likely this fragment served as part of a statue that would have guarded over the funerary plot of an aristocratic family or marked the entryway to a mausoleum. $30,000 - 50,000

This limestone portrait head of a young woman is Hellenistic in date, and Cypriot in style.

Her wavy hair is parted at the center, swept back to the ears, surmounted by a diadem, and covered in a long veil. She wears disk earrings with grape pendants—symbols of fertility. Traces of the originally painted pupils are preserved in the left eye. The soft surface, heavy-lidded eyes, and Venus rings along the neck impart a sensuous look to this elegant beauty.

Surmounted by the sea monster Scylla and nine dolphins in relief jumping above a band of waves, this polychrome askos makes subtle reference to Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. In the poem, Odysseus and his crew sail past impregnable cliffs from which the sea monster is perched and fishes for her next meal. Moreover, Odysseus’s son, Telemachus, fell into the ocean when he was an infant and was saved by dolphins. In their honor, Odysseus then went on to wear the emblem of dolphins on his shield during the Trojan War.

159 An Etruscan Bone Mirror Handle
CIRCA 6TH CENTURY B.C. Height 8 3/32 inches (20.6 cm). O’Gara and Wilson, Ltd., Antiquarian Booksellers, Chesterton, Indiana
Provenance: Private Collection of an Archaeologist, Italy, prior to 1949. Father Angelico Rinaldo Zarlenga (1919-1985), Italy and United States; thence by decent to his brother. Fra Angelico Art Foundation, Riverside, Illinois; where acquired by the current owner, 14 August 2008.
This rare and finely carved bone handle depicts a mythical scene from the ninth labor of Hercules in which Hercules draws his sword to kill Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and take her belt. Themes from Greek mythology were immensely popular and often the motif of choice for Etruscan toiletries. Originally a bronze mirror engraved with similar subject matter would have connected to this handle.
Used primarily by women, these mirrors were designed to include relevant visual metaphors and allegories. As is the case with the handle seen here, the dark subject matter of death is made light with sexual overtones. Hercules is depicted in the nude with a warrior’s physique holding an erect sword close to his hip, while Hippolyta is shown in full panoply with shield held high and in a defensive position. Together, these two figures fill the entire tableau, their bodies overlapping multiple times around the handle. Hercules’ right arm can be seen tucked behind Hippolyta’s shield, and left leg pressing against her inner thigh. They are facing each other, heads in profile, both with expressive smiles. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the spirit of this decoration was intended for the boudoir.
Although the subject matter on this handle depicts a purely Greek scene, it is heavily Etruscanized. The geometric stylization, difference in scale, distinct drill work, archaistic features, and slight variations to mythological iconography, places this object in Etruria, Italy during the 6th Century B.C. when Etruscan culture was flourishing most.
For a bone handle with similar scene, see The British Museum of Art (Inv. no. 1884,0614.30). $6,000 - 8,000

This over-lifesized portrait head is a superb example of the Greek philosopher known as Antisthenes (circa 446370 B.C.). Originally a student of the rhetorician Gorgias, Antisthenes later came to adopt the ethical teaching of Socrates and was said to be the founder of Cynic philosophy. The Cynics would be a philosophical school throughout the classical period. Famous for their obscenity, asceticism, and commitment to virtue, they challenged cultural norms and social conventions. Antisthenes once said, “It is better to fight with a few good men against all the wicked, than with many wicked men against a few good men.” (Diogenes, Book VI, 12). To the Cynics, it wasn’t enough to debate the issues of high moral standards but to put them into practice through rigorous training. This philosophy and dedication to moral excellence would go on to inspire some of antiquity’s greatest leaders such as Alexander the Great and the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Portraits of Antisthenes are properly attributed from a bust found at Hadrian’s Villa, now in the Vatican Museum, which is inscribed with his name. All known portraits have the same facial features that epitomize this unkempt intellectual: full lengthy beard, thick mustache obscuring the upper lip, and disheveled curly hair. For another portrait identified as Antisthenes, see V. Poulsen, Les Portraits Grecs, Pl. XXXXIV, fig. 50. $100,000 - 150,000

“Superior to all the statues of any artists that ever existed is Praxiteles’ nude Venus” -Pliny the Elder
173 A Roman Marble Venus
Provenance: Private Collection, France. Hôtel Drouot, Paris, Maître Albinet - André la Veel, 4-5 May 1965, Lot. 97. Pierre (1907-2002 ) and Denise Lévy Collection, Troyes, France. Christie’s, London, Antiquities, 14 April 2011, Lot 276.
During the 4th Century B.C., the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles created a legendary statue of the goddess of love in modest pose known today as the Aphrodite of Knidos (or Cnidus). It was one of the first lifesized representations of the nude female form in Greek history. Prior to its creation, Greek sculpture had been dominated by nude figures of heroic men. Even in antiquity, the sculpture was considered a masterpiece. According to the Roman historian, Pliny the Elder, “There are some works of Praxiteles in the Ceramicus at Athens; but, superior to all the statues, not only of his, but of any other artist that ever existed, is the Cnidian Venus” (Pliny, Natural History 36, 20). To the Greeks, she was Aphrodite; to the Romans, she was Venus. To all, she is the goddess of Love, whose iconic image remains compelling to this day.
Though the original Greek sculpture is no longer in existence, a myriad of nude Aphrodite were created during the Hellenistic and Roman period, which the wealthy Romans of the Imperial period acquired to decorate their villas and gardens. Among these versions, two principal types repeat her modest pose: the Capitoline Venus and the Medici Venus, which differ from each other in their formal details. This high-quality statue belongs to this series, and even combines traits of one (the hairstyle and the position of the feet of the Capitoline Venus) with the other (the elongated proportions and the presence of the dolphin on the Medici statue).
This statue once belonged to French Industrialist and Modern Art collector, Pierre Lévy (1907-2002). Pierre Lévy was a member of the Conseil artistique de la Réunion des musées nationaux from 1969 until his death in 2002. In 1976, Lévy and his wife Denise, née Liève, donated some two thousand objects including more than three hundred paintings from modern artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Derain, Soutine, and many others that helped create a Museum of Modern Art housed in the former Archbishop’s Palace in Troyes, France. Prior to the museum’s opening in 1982, the collection was exhibited in 1978 at the Orangerie des Tuileries in Paris. The inclusion of this nude Venus in the Lévy collection is a testament to the statue’s importance and timelessness. $200,000 - 300,000

This relief fragment represents the young Marcus Aurelius in the years preceding his accession to the imperial throne (161-180 AD). From a clean-shaven curly-head boy to a lengthy-bearded philosopherking, scholars have identified four main portrait types for Marcus Aurelius. The broad forehead, short beard, and wispy moustache place this portrait of Marcus as type two, or more poetically known as the “crown prince” type. $16,000 - 18,000

In ancient Rome, fashion was often determined by the elite and ruling class. How a woman wore her hair said much about their status in society. The hairstyle seen here was most in vogue from the Antonine to Severan Period and closely associated with Faustina Minor (130-176 A.D.). Known as the helmfrisur, the hair is parted down the center with wavy locks that cascade over her ears. The back of the hair is bound in a chignon. Although the identity of this delicately carved and meticulously designed portrait head is unknown, there is a quality and alertness to the sculpture that makes her stand out amongst her peers. For similar examples, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Inv. no. 13.115.2) and NY Carlsberg Glyptotek. $25,000 - 35,000

This relief depicts a draped female holding votives in both hands, and adorned with a veil and ornate diadem. Typically, these sculptures were used as funerary monuments and represented the deceased. A inscription can been seen to the right of her head. Most likely this short text was used to identify the draped female who would have been buried with many others in a communal tomb. $20,000 - 30,000 208 A Palmyrene Limestone Relief
CIRCA 3RD CENTURY A.D. 24 x 27 inches. 24 x 34 inches. Property from a Midwest Private Collection
Provenance: Royal Athena Galleries, New York, 2002.
Unlike the more common funerary relief busts that are forward facing, this relief (now in two parts) is in profile and depicts two merchants, one with saddled horse and the other with loaded camel, engaging in trade. The caravan city of Palmyra was a popular destination for traders along the Silk Road. Goods from both the East and West were frequently exchanged which in turn brought prosperity and wealth to the region. It is probable the deceased for which this relief was commissioned was a wealthy merchant. $30,000 - 50,000
