Description

A ROMAN BRONZE ‘BULL’ LAMP, CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURY AD
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Roman Empire, probably Dura Europos. Circular in form with an upturned phallic-form nozzle, the discus open as a fill hole, encircled by a raised molding, fitted with a ring handle to the back surmounted by a pair of bull horns.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering, encrustations, obvious losses, and casting irregularities. The bronze with a naturally grown patina with vibrant malachite encrustations.

Weight: 338.1 g
Dimensions: Length 17 cm

Lamps of this form are known from across the Roman Empire, including sites in the Danubian provinces, the Rhineland, North Africa, and the eastern Mediterranean. Production begins in the 1st century AD and continues into the 2nd. In the Vesuvian region, examples were in circulation at the time of the eruption in 79 AD.
