Lot 50 | Bronze-Werkzeug eines römischen Barbiers, 2. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 6 000
Werkzeug eines Barbiers, das zum Bartschneiden verwendet wurde. Die halbrunde offene Seite wurde dafür an den Hals gelegt, so dass der Bart auf die sichelförmige Fläche fiel. Der Griff in Form eines Schwanenkopfes, aus dem Kopf des Schwans entwächst ein Blatt, auf dem der Barbier seinen Daumen ablegte. Unten ein abgesetzter Standring. Ein Besuch beim Barbier gehörte in Rom beinahe zum Alltag und war Teil der Gewohnheiten eines Bürgers. Der Beruf des Barbiers war ab dem 2. Jhdt. v. Christus so beliebt, dass zahlreiche Geschäfte öffneten, ausgestattet mit qualitativ hochwertigen Werkzeugen wie diesem.
Herrliche Patina mit zahlreichen Cupritflächen. Intakt.
Maße 22 x 24 x 10 cm.
Provenienz: Spanische Privatsammlung, mit spanischem Antikenpass.
A barber’s equipment used for trimming a beard. The semi-circular side was placed on the throat so that the beard fell on the crescent area. The handle in form of a swan’s head, a leaf, where the barber placed his thumb, originates from the head of the swan. At the bottom a set off foot base. A visit to the barber was part of the daily routine of a Roman citizen, rather a patrician. As of the 2nd century B.C. the profession of a barber was so popular that numerous shops opened, set-up with high-quality equipment such as this one.
Wonderful patina with numerous cuprite areas. Intact.
Dimensions 22 x 24 x 10 cm.
