Estimate value
€ 8 500
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Nizza, mit französischem Antikenpass.
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. Accompanied by a French antiquities passport.
