This is the rating and price for Terracotta Figure Of Silenus Or Papposilenos
Description : A Roman terracotta figure of Silenus or Papposilenos, c. 1st - 2nd Century AD, exquisitely detailed and in fine style. The mischievous creature stands with hands on his hips, his robe thrown open revealing his manhood, his bearded face with a grin and his beard long and straggly. He wears a hat in the form of a phallus and testicle, which is nicely framed by his tall ears. Quite the image and a most handsome example of Roman comic art. H: 5 in (12.8 cm). Losses to legs, nice deep brown surfaces with great detail. Ex property from the collection of Joseph Klein (1899-1987), New York City. Mr. Klein sought out and acquired these souvenirs as part of his vast collecting interests. Said to have collected in the manner of an 18th century connoisseur, his overall collection showcased his diverse array of artifacts acquired over a period of 45 years and included the art of ancient China, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome.
