Lot 45 | Marmor-Togatus eines Knaben, 2. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Marmor-Togatus eines Knaben, 2. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Lebensgroßes Statuenfragment eines Knaben, der eine Tunika unter einer langen, voluminösen Toga trägt ("Togatus"). Die Toga verläuft horizontal über den Bauch und ist über die linke Schulter geschlagen, das Endstück ist dabei über den gerafften horizontalen Teil gesteckt. Der Knabe trägt eine auf zwei Bändern angehängte Bulla um den Hals. Die Römer übernahmen von den Etruskern den Brauch, Kindern unmittelbar nach der Geburt zur Abwehr von Zaubern, vor allem des bösen Blicks, eine Bulla umzuhängen, in deren Hohlraum sich ein Amulett befand. Knaben legten die Bulla erst mit dem Anlegen der Toga virilis ab. Abgesehen von Bestoßungen, vor allem der Falten, ein Fragment von schöner Qualität. Höhe 45 cm.
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Nizza, mit französischem Antikenpass.

A marble togatus of a young man, 2nd century A.D.
Life-size statue fragment of a youth who wears a tunic under the long, voluminous toga ("togatus"). The toga runs across the belly and is thrown over the left shoulder, where the end is tucked over the gathered horizontal part. The youth wears a bulla hanging on two bands around his neck. The Romans adopted from the Etruscans the tradition to, right after birth, put around children a bulla, which enclosed an amulet in the cavity to protect against spell, especially the evil eye. The young boys only took the bulla off once they put their toga virilis on. Apart from some wear especially on the pleats a fragment of beautiful quality. Height 45 cm.
Provenance: Private collection Nice, France, with French antiquities passport.
