Gilver and gold, ca. 100 B.C.E. - 79 C.E.
5 1/2 in.
This statuette of a powerful bull standing with his head raised and eyes bulging may have been made as an offering to the god Jupiter, who often took the guise of a bull in mythological legends. If so, it would have been part of a wealthy Pompeiian family's household shrine, or lararium. Adorned with statuettes or painted images of gods, goddesses, and other deities, the shrine was the center of the Roman home. In it, household members made daily offerings to their gods for the protection of the family.
The artist's naturalistic modelling of the bull's anatomy shows the loose skin under the animal's neck in a series of pliant folds. The horns curve forward above the ears and the eyes have incised pupils, irises, and lashes. Ridges of sagging flesh frame the underbelly of the anatomically correct statuette.
Though animal sculptures were popular among Romans, a gilt-silver statuette of this quality would have been quite rare. This bull, discovered in Pompeii during excavations in the late 1700s, is the only object in the Getty Museum definitely known to have come from one of the towns buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

"Ansley" Design:
Seven reproduction intaglios in a beautiful design that we call "Ansley". Intaglios are framed in a custom designed, hand rubbed frame in your choice of gold (pictured), cool silver, light 'gilver' (warm silver/champagne), or aged gilver frame. Edge of intaglios are painted to match the frame color.
These look particularly striking in groupings, and this design is also sold as part of a set (see store for details).
Our standard small size is 13" x 16" (priced at $365), and our standard large size is 18" x 22" (priced at $450).
They are fighting on a 1" grid for a Canadian dime. It is about the same size as an American one.
Gilver was a Savage Worlds character I played in a converted Savage Tides campaign.
this remarkable painting has gilver and gold accents. I don't know which side I love the most! It is perfectly exquisite.
I was completely flattened when Rose sent it to me. My photos don't do it justice.
I framed it and the glass has a glare. I framed it both sides. One is horizontal, one is vertical. THANK YOU ROSE I REALLY LOVE THIS!!!!! XOXOXOX
