Lot 3 | Bronzestatue einer Frau mit Gefäß auf dem Kopf, baktrisch, Ende 3. - Anfang 2. Jtsd. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 12 000
Bronzeplastik einer Frau mit langem, um die Hüften geschwungenem Tuch, das bis knapp vor die Knöchel reicht. Das Tuch durch zwei Ritzungen im unteren Abschnitt in drei Zonen gegliedert, die Oberfläche mit feinen Punktpunzen verziert, die eine Verzierung oder die Textur des Tuches darstellen. Der Oberkörper nackt mit zwei stilisierten Brüsten, deren Brustwarzen deutlich abgesetzt sind. In der Mitte des Bauches vom Nabel bis zur Brust eine Linie aus fischgrätenartig angeordneten Schraffuren, die wohl eine Körperbemalung oder ein Tattoo darstellen. Um den Hals ein Satz aus vier Reifen, der oberste und der unterste mit Zickzack-Muster verziert. Das Gesicht mit Augen, Augenbrauen, Nase und Mund markant und in eigenwilliger Stilisierung ausgearbeitet, die Frisur mit langen, streng nach hinten gekämmten Haaren im Nacken zu einem "fischschwanzförmigen" Dutt zusammengefasst, unter dem zwei Bänder zwischen den deutlich dargestellten Schulterblättern hängen. Die Rechte mit waagrecht gestelltem Unterarm angewinkelt, die Finger der Hand zu einem Kreis geformt, in den einst ein Gegenstand eingesteckt werden konnte. Die Linke über den Kopf zu einem doppelkonischen Gefäß mit Trichterrand geführt, dieses mit der Hand oberhalb des Umbruchs auf den Kopf haltend. Die Schulter des Gefäßes mit Kerbschnitt verziert, der zwischen den Vertiefungen plastisch hervortretende Zickzack-Bänder entstehen lässt. Gefäß und Kopf hohl gearbeitet. Sehr schöne, dunkelgrüne Patina, auf der Rückseite des unteren Gewandsaums und den darunter hervorschauenden Beinen sowie seitlich am Gefäß auf dem Kopf grasgrüne Oxydauflagen. Die Füße abgebrochen, sonst vollkommen intakt. Erhaltene Höhe 21,4 cm. Eindrucksvolle und anmutige Bronzeskulptur der zentralasiatischen Bronzezeit.
Provenienz: Rheinische Privatsammlung.
Bronze statue of a woman with a vessel on her head, Bactrian, late 3rd - early 2nd millenium B.C.
Bronze sculpture of a woman with a long shawl curved around her hips, reaching just before her ankles. The shawl divided into three zones by two incisions in the lower section, the surface decorated with fine dot punctures representing a decoration or the texture of the shawl. The upper part of the body naked with two stylised breasts whose nipples are clearly set off. In the centre of the abdomen from the navel to the breast a line of hatchings arranged like fish bones, probably representing body painting or a tattoo. Around the neck a set of four necklaces, the uppermost and the lowermost decorated with a zigzag pattern. The face with eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth strikingly worked out in idiosyncratic stylisation, The hairstyle with long, strictly combed back hair gathered into a "fishtail-shaped" chignon at the nape of the neck, under which two ribbons hang between the clearly depicted shoulder blades. The right arm bent with the forearm horizontal, the fingers of the hand formed into a circle in which an object could once be inserted. The left arm reaching over the head to a double conical vessel with funnel rim, holding it with the hand above the carination on the head. The shoulder of the vessel decorated with chip carving, which leaves plastically protruding zigzag bands between the depressions. The vessel and the head are hollow. Very beautiful, dark green patina. On the back of the lower hem of the garment and the legs protruding from underneath, as well as on the side of the vessel on the head grass-green oxide layers. The feet broken off, otherwise completely intact. Preserved height 21.4 cm. Impressive and graceful bronze sculpture of the Central Asian Bronze Age.
