History Buffs, Antique Collectors catch Barakat's Roman Marble Relief Fragment

An Exceptional Roman Marble Relief Fragment 250 AD to 270 AD Mediterranean This fine marble relief fragment was most probably taken from the corner of a monumental lion-hunt sarcophagus. It is finely carved in high relief in the manner of a young hunter who wears a chlamys fastened around his right shoulder with his head carved almost in the round and turned sharply to his right just enough to make out his long sideburns. His face is composed of large eyes with recessed crescent pupils and incised irises while his hair is swept up and back from his forehead in long wavy locks. This item is now on view in our current Barakat Seoul exhibition featured below.  To read further please click the image above.  To see additional artifacts from the Roman Art Collection please click HERE The Glory of the Classical World Barakat Seoul proudly presents "The Glory of the Classical World: Selections from the Ancient Greek & Roman Art Collection," an exhibition of ancient Roman and Greek artworks representing the “eternal canon of Western culture,” from Wednesday, September 4th to Saturday, December 7, 2019.  For more information on this show and the pieces featured please click on the image to the left.
