Auf einer rechteckigen Grundplatte (Maße 45,5 x 16 x 5 cm) stehender Löwe, das linke vordere und hintere Bein leicht nach vorne gestellt, sodass der Eindruck einer im Schreiten innehaltenden und beobachtenden Raubkatze entsteht. Das Maul geöffnet und Zunge und Zähne detailliert ausgearbeitet. Die Ohren nach hinten angelegt und die Stirnhaare der Mähne nach hinten gestreift. Die Strähnen der Mähne auf Hals und Brust markant herausgemeißelt, die anatomischen Details und Charakteristika des leicht gedrungen dargestellten Körpers gut und lebendig ausgearbeitet, ebenso die Pranken mit Zehen und Krallen. Zwischen den Hinterbeinen das Genital. Der freistehende Schwanz S-förmig geschwungen, seine Quaste durch einen niedrigen Steg mit der Grundplatte verbunden. Höhe 38 cm. In der Mitte und am Schwanz Bruchstellen ohne fehlende Teile, fachgerecht wieder zusammengefügt.
Vollständig erhaltende provinzialrömische Skulptur eines Löwen mit ausgezeichnet erhaltener Oberfläche und eindrucksvoller Stilisierung.
Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung.
The standing lion mounted on a rectangular base plate (measuring 45.5 x 16 x 5 cm), its left front paw and hind leg placed slightly forwards to give the impression of a big cat pausing in its stride to survey its surroundings. Its open maw reveals the tongue and teeth, all wrought in detail. Its ears laid back and the forelocks of its mane flowing backwards. The strands of its mane clearly sculptured as they fall onto the neck and breast. The anatomical details and characteristics of the slightly thickset body expertly and vividly depicted, along with the paws, complete with toes and claws. The genitals visible between its hind legs. The free-standing tail curving into an S shape, the tuft at the end connected to the base plate by means of a low crosspiece. Height 38 cm. Fractures in the centre and on the tail have been expertly reassembled, no pieces are missing. Completely preserved Provincial Roman sculpture of a lion, the surface in outstanding condition. Portrayed with exquisite stylisation.
Provenance: South German private collection.
Place of origin:Roman Empire
