A RARE ROMAN BRONZE FURNITURE ADORNMENT WITH BUST OF GODDESS. Circa 2nd century A.D. L. 14 cm x W. 11,5 cm x H. 10,5 cm Provenance Formerly, private collection S.A., 1992 Private Collection of the Numismat Giovanni Maria Staffieri, acquired in 2000s, Switzerland The flared, hollow handle bears traces of holes and screws, indicating that it was once fitted into a larger composite structure—possibly a wooden piece of furniture. The terminal is cast in the form of a divine bust, characterized by draped shoulders, an elongated neck, and a delicately modeled face with softly rounded features. The hairstyle consists of long strands parted at the center and gathered into a low chignon, with a few gently undulating locks falling gracefully over the shoulders. The head is crowned with a diadem. The piece displays an attractive light green patina and is in a fine state of preservation.
