Lot 4 | PAIRE DE BRACELETS ORNÉS DE CAMÉES Ier s. av. J.-C. - Ier ap. J.-C.
37,1 gr. - 37,8 gr.
7 cm.
Le bracelet se compose d’un anneau tubulaire en or à
cannelures, dont la coupe est semi-circulaire. Les deux
extrémités, qui soutiennent le camée, sont ornées de
filigranes plats et perlés et d’un motif de quatre feuilles
en forme de croix, l’ensemble est rehaussé par un petit
grenat monté en cabochon cerclé d’un fil d’or. Les camées
en onyx forment une paire, le lion faisant face au dauphin.
Les entailles sont parfaitement coupées. Cette disposition
en miroir est caractéristique des bracelets classiques et
montre qu’ils forment bien une paire.
Les motifs animaliers ont une symbolique ancienne et se
retrouvent dans les poèmes homériques et la fable d’Esope
Le Lion et le Dauphin. Il s’agit de créatures terribles qui
représentent les règnes terrestres et maritimes. Une
interprétation dionysiaque et astrologique est possible, les
figures faisant référence aux constellations du ciel.
Les bracelets tubulaires sont connus durant toute la période
hellénistique. On compte parmi d’autres œuvres le bracelet
de Tarente, daté de 300 av. J.-C., et le diadème de l’antique
Hermonassa dans la péninsule de Taman en Taurine (1). Les
décors, dont le motif filigrané à quatre pétales sont bien
référencés (2). L’usage du camée est connu des Sarmates,
mais reste extrêmement rare.
