Description

Ca. 2000-700 BC A bronze Master of Animals Sceptre comprised of a central tube terminating into a human head. Flanked by animals on either side, with curving haunches and tails below.It was probably used during religious rituals. The Master of Animals or Lord of Animals is a motif in ancient art showing a human between and grasping two confronted animals. It is very widespread in the art of the Ancient Near East. The figure is normally male, but not always, the animals may be realistic or fantastical, and the figure may have animal elements such as horns, or an animal's upper body. Unless he is shown with specific divine attributes, he is typically described as a hero. In Western Asiatic Art the motif is extremely common, and often highly stylized. In terms of its composition the Master of Animals motif compares with another very common motif in the art of the ancient Near East and Mediterranean, that of two confronted animals flanking and grazing on a Tree of Life. Size: L:190mm / W:71mm ; 160g Provenance: From the private collection of an Oxford gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1990s on the UK / International art markets.
