TWO ROMAN BRONZE FINGERS

Ca. AD 100 - 300
A pair of bronze life-sized fingers, which would have once been part of a large statue or votive hand. The curves and folds of the fragment reveal a highly naturalistic style, which testifies the Roman artistry and sculptural excellence. Cut right below the intermediate phalange, the hollow fingers presents an uneven edge and some earthy encrustations on the surface.
