拍品描述: Description Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A wonderful leaded bronze rendering of Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog of the Underworld, with serpents growing from his back, standing upon all fours. The monstrous canine-serpentine creature is presented with a ferocious demeanor, apropos for a creature that would devour anyone attempting to escape Hades' realm. The piece also exhibits fabulous attention to detail and a rich age patina. Size: 1.75" L x 1.375" W x 1.7" H (4.4 cm x 3.5 cm x 4.3 cm); 2.5" H (6.4 cm) on included custom stand. In Classical mythology, Cerberus was the intimidating watchdog of the underworld, a monstrous creature possessing three heads. This said, the poet Hesiod (active during the 7th century BCE) declared that he actually had fifty heads. In addition, snake heads grew from his back, and his tail was that of a serpent. Cerberus took it upon himself to devour anyone who attempted to escape Hades' kingdom. In addition, he refused entrance to living humans; however, the mythic hero Orpheus proved an exception to this, as he gained passage by seducing Cerberus with music. Interestingly, one of Hercules' labors was to bring Cerberus to the land of the living; once he completd this labor, Hercules promptly returned the Cerberus to Hades. Published: J.
