Dealer notes
A hand-carved marble torso of Diana from the Roman Imperial era. This genuine fragment – originally sculpted in Italy around the 1st–2nd century C.E. – exudes classical elegance and historical gravitas. Diana, in mythology, embodies the wild and the serene – patron of the hunt, the moon and the natural world. This marble fragment captures the essence of Diana; even though only her torso remains, the sculptural pose and drapery evoke the vitality of Diana on the prowl. Possessing this sculpture is to invite the mythic aura of Diana into one’s home: it suggests the bold independence of the huntress and the gentle mystery of moonlit forests, making it a powerful symbol of grace and resilience in any sophisticated setting. This ancient Diana torso is more than a decorative object – it is a storied work of art. Its presence in a room instantly adds a layer of historical depth and cultured sophistication. Mounted later on a lacquered base.
Dimensions: Mounted dimensions: 28.25”H x 9“W x 8“D including 8” square base.
