Male Bearded Head In Glass Paste - Phoenician Or Carthaginian Art, 5th-3rd Century Bc. A.d.

Rare small bearded male head in pâte de verre, attributable to a Phoenician or Carthaginian workshop, datable between the 5th and 3rd centuries B.C.

This representation evokes the votive and apotropaic productions of the Punic world, widely distributed between Phoenicia, Carthage, Sicily and Sardinia. The bearded male faces frequently feature protective deities, heroes or figures inspired by Egyptian and Greek models, which had a profound influence on Phoenician art.

The modelling of the face, the stylized beard and the vitrified material bear witness to the remarkable skill of ancient Mediterranean craftsmen in working with pâte de verre.

The head is presented on a modern wooden base allowing it to stand out beautifully.

Dimensions:
Height of head alone: 3.5 cm.
Good overall condition with wear and irregularities consistent with age.

Rare collector's item, ideal for lovers of Mediterranean archaeology and ancient art.
