Three Ancient Anatolian Bronze Bovine Votive Figures

拍品描述

Near East, Anatolia, Iron Age to Early Islamic era, ca. 1200 BCE – 1300 CE. A trio of diminutive cast copper-alloy quadrupeds, Anatolian, each pared down to the essentials of a bovine body: short neck, horns, and stumpy legs. One is pierced through the body and retains an integral loop, suggesting suspension. Modeled in the round with summary surface detail. Cast animals of this kind circulated across the Anatolian plateau over a long span, serving as votive deposits at shrines, as amuletic pendants, and as harness or furniture fittings. Size of largest: 1.4" H x 0.7" W x 1.8" D (3.6 cm H x 1.8 cm W x 4.6 cm D); Size of smallest: 0.8" H x 0.5" W x 1.6" D (2.0 cm H x 1.3 cm W x 4.1 cm D).
