A ROMAN BRONZE WATER SPOUT DEPICTING PAN, PROBABLY FROM A NYMPHAEUM, CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURYExpert's note: Comparable bronze fountain spouts in the form of satyrs, Silenoi, Pan, and other mythological heads have been documented from excavations across the Eastern Mediterranean, frequently associated with Roman nymphaea and bathing complexes. Such figural spouts were fundamental elements of architectural schemes to enliven facades, their open mouths serving as conduits for flowing water.The nymphaeum was not merely a fountain but a monumental civic installation, often elaborately decorated, that articulated themes of abundance, leisure, and the patronage of local elites or even imperial authorities. The use of expressive bronzes to conduct water reflects the Roman tendency to merge utility with iconography, transforming hydraulic technology into a visual metaphor of divine vitality. Surviving examples are rare, and they constitute important evidence for the artistic and social dimensions of Roman public waterworks.Finely detailed, the head shows luxuriant hair, a full beard and long moustache, with horns rising from the crown, pointed ears, and a ridged brow. The thick lips are parted to form a spout. The bronze is exceptionally well cast and remarkably well preserved, its surface enriched with a naturally grown patina and vibrant malachite encrustations.Provenance: Miteva Collection, London, United Kingdom, 1990s. Ariadne Galleries, New York and London, acquired in 2013. A distinguished American private collection, acquired from the above on 20 May 2017. A copy of a certificate from Ariadne Galleries, describing the present lot as a spout in the form of Pan and confirming the dating and provenance above, accompanies this lot. Ariadne Galleries has established a reputation as one of the world's leading dealers in the field of ancient art. With a prominent gallery in New York's upper East side for many years, in 2014 Ariadne opened its second gallery in London's historic art district, Mayfair. With nearly fifty years in the industry, Ariadne boasts of several important private collectors and foundations among its clients, as well as some of the world's most celebrated museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harvard University Art Museums, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Casting irregularities, minuscule losses to the extremities, signs of weathering and erosion and encrustations to the interior. The bronze with a naturally grown patina with areas of malachite encrustations. Weight: 57 g (excl. stand), 155.4 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 4 cm (excl. stand), 6.8 cm (incl. stand); Width 4.5 cm (excl. stand)With an associated stand. (2)Pan is the rustic god of shepherds, flocks, and wild nature, originating in Greece and later adopted by the Romans. Usually shown with goat's legs, horns, and a human torso, he embodies fertility, music, and the untamed countryside. Closely linked with Dionysus, Pan plays the pipes (syrinx) and personifies both pastoral life and ecstatic revelry.Literature comparison:Compare a related pair of bronze water spouts in the form of lion masks, Greek or Roman, dated c. 100 BC-100 CE, 13 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 74.51.5677, .5678. Compare a related bronze water spout with lion mask, Greek or Roman, dated c. 100 BC-100 CE, 18.4 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 74.51.5675.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's London, 3 December 2024, lot 426 Price: GBP 20,400 or approx. EUR 24,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A Bronze Figure of Pan, late Hellenistic / early Roman, circa 1st Century B.C. / 1st Century A.D., 14 cm high. Expert remark: Compare the modeling of hair, beard, stance, and expressive face. The diminutive scale yet detailed workmanship make this a good parallel.
