Descrizione : Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. Skillfully cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process, a petite copper alloy bust of Serapis presenting with gentle eyes, a bushy beard, a mustachioed closed mouth, locks of cascading curly hair framing his attractive visage, and a modius or kalathos (corn or grain basket) atop of his head. The piece has developed a rich olive-green patina with red highlights. Size: 3 H (7.6 cm), 4 H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand. The god Serapis was originally created by Ptolemy I of Egypt as a means of unifying the Grecian and Egyptian cultures around the 3rd century BCE, but the Romans were quick to adopt the cult of Serapis in favor of other overarching deities such as Osiris around the 4th century CE. The Romans did not often respect the deities and belief systems of other ancient cultures, however, those of the Greek and Egyptian pantheons were revered.
