Descrizione : 2nd century AD. A bronze statuette of advancing Diana (Greek Artemis) with puffy hair tied at the back of her neck, the eye is represented by a protruding point, dressed in a short, folded chiton, sleeveless, puffing at the waist and falling to the knees, a quiver on her back, held in place by a long shoulder belt which passes over the right shoulder and descends between the two breasts, the goddess leaning on her left leg, the right slightly bent and worn to the rear, the feet enclosed in boots with the ties surrounding the leg above the ankles, the lowered left arm originally holding a bow, the right arm an arrow, mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf. Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, items 66, for similar but not identical type. 84 grams total, 96mm including stand (3 3/4). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. Similar figures can be found in Naples, Trabzon, Carnuntum, Vienna and Delphi. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
