ROMAN STONE FIGURE OF FIGHTING COCKERELS
Ca. AD 200.A carved stone sculpture depicting two cockerels engaged in a dynamic fighting scene. The birds face each other in crouched positions, poised for attack, with intricate detsiling such as naturalistically rendered feathers, comb-adorned heads, hanging wattles, and small eyes. Both birds are positioned on top of an elevated stone base which has been left unworked, possibly to suggest an outdoor scene. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists. Size: 650mm x 340mm; Weight: 100+kg Provenance: Property of a London gentleman; Ex. French collection, Paris, Parisian Gallery, 1970-90. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
