拍品專文

As C.C. Vermeule observes (p. 180 in “Bench and Table Supports: Roman Egypt and Beyond,” in W.K. Simpson and W.M. Davis, eds., Studies in Ancient Egypt, the Aegean, and the Sudan: Essays in Honor of Dows Dunham), “the manufacture of marble furniture became a major industry in the ancient world with the rise of Roman patronage in Cicero’s time and continued through the era of great imperial country villas around Rome until the decline of secular decorative art in the fourth century A.D.” The motif of a lion head emerging from acanthus, as seen here, was especially popular. For a similar example, see fig. 14A in Vermeule, op. cit.
