Commentary


Ce bronze semble de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du Musée de Lyon n° 1081 (Collection La Saussaye). Le droit semble porter un torque (en forme de croissant) au cou mais aussi un ornement (qui pourrait être une sorte de cuirasse) retombant sur le buste. Ce type de bronze est beaucoup plus rare qu’il ne le semble !.
This bronze appears to have the same obverse die as the copy in the Lyon Museum No. 1081 (La Saussaye Collection). The obverse appears to bear a torque (in the shape of a crescent) around the neck, as well as an ornament (which could be a sort of cuirass) falling over the bust. This type of bronze is much rarer than it seems!
